Lol I was in a panic as I figured it would just work haha and nope, definitely not haha. But your tips eventually got it to relent and finally pair, I appreciate it so much.

Loving this thing, just getting my ass kicked around Hirata Estate in Sekiro (send tips or advice, I am the WORST Shinobi, this kid I’m supposed to rescue is fucked unless I get better hahaha).

Thanks for being awesome and helping with the quickness yesterday!

    I also had this issue after I finally got my AirPods paired to my steam deck. What fixes it for me is after launching the game, open the Steam menu, go to Settings, and change the output device to the built in speakers, then back to the AirPods.

      I didn’t have to turn off “Find My,” rename, or change anything on my iPhone for my AirPods Pro 2. I just followed Apple’s instructions.

      I also had to use the Steam button below the left trackpad and go into Settings to flip audio to internal then back to Bluetooth to get the sound to stop being choppy (in Rez Infinite), but I lay the blame for that on Valve, not Apple.

      Also dumb: the ⋯ quick access button below the right trackpad lets you turn Bluetooth off and on under ⚙ Quick Settings, but upon re-enabling Bluetooth the AirPods don’t display underneath or connect. You still have to go into Settings → Bluetooth to connect.
