Voice Isolation Currently unavailable on macOS Tahoe

I'm on a Mac Studio, latest version of macOS Tahoe. I received a telephone call on my iPhone 17 Pro Max which was relayed trough to my Mac. I was connected with my AirPods Pro 2 to my Mac and I answered the call on my Mac. The person on the other side was complaining about the quality of the sound and even asked if I was sitting on the toilet... 😃

I checked if Voice Isolation was enabled and it wasn't. I could not activate it because it was greyed out... "Voice Isolation currently unavailable". See attached printscreen (Text is in Dutch). If I start or receive a call direct from my iPhone with my AirPods connected to my iPhone, Voice Isolation is available and functioning normal!

Who has a solution to this? Thanks!

Mac Studio, macOS 26.0
