Some common questions on how to pair AirPods to HP laptop 

Are your AirPods having trouble with audio quality and stuttering? 

Before you find out how to link AirPods, here’s what to look out for on how to fix your earphones if they’re not producing smooth and reliable sound.

• Check to see if the AirPods are powered up. Once, try recharging them (to total capacity)
• Since you are aware that you’re linked through Bluetooth, so make sure you’re within a 30-foot/10-meter radius of your laptop. (The sound quality would undoubtedly be harmed if this range was exceeded or extended too far)
• Check to see if your laptop’s sound and Bluetooth drivers have been updated. After upgrading all of the driver software on your HP laptop, the problem can be rectified.
• Check whether one (or both) of your earphones or charging case has a problem. The stuttering is probably caused by some sort of technical issue.

What if your AirPods aren’t working, and there is no sound coming from them? 

In this case, it may be possible that your HP laptop has many audio output choices, and one of them is overriding the other. This is rare since once the connection is made, the output immediately changes to AirPods.

However, you can manually change the laptop’s audio output in a rare instance.

Here’s how you can do it: 

• On your taskbar, choose the Speaker icon

• Then press the upside-down arrow to bring up a new fold/dropdown menu

• Finally, choose the proper output from that selection, such as Headphones (AirPods).
