Re: "phone call audio not playing through airpods pro or other bluetooth headsets"
You may want to direct the call to the AirPods::
See Apple Support's onlin article: While on a call on iPhone - Apple Support
Eg: says:
When you’re on a phone call on iPhone, you can switch the audio to the speaker or a Bluetooth® device.
"Adjust the audio during a call
To change the volume, press the volume buttons on the side of iPhone.
Or swipe down on the call banner, then do any of the following:
- Mute: Tap the Mute button.
- Put the call on hold: Touch and hold the Mute button.
- Talk handsfree: Tap the Audio button, then choose an audio destination."
