Hello iphoner123,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. If you're experiencing audio/microphone issues while using your AirPods during a phone call, we'd like to help out. Allow us to share some steps you can try to further isolate this issue and possibly sort it out. First, try a basic restart of your iPhone to see if that helps. This can help refresh things: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
1.) Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2.) Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3.) To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
You can also try resetting your AirPods. This is another great step to try: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support
