AirPods automatic device switching not working on mac

AirPods firmware = 3A283

iPad OS = 14.0

iOS = 14.0

MacOS = Catalina 10.15.6


AirPods are available on all 3 devices (can manually connect). Automatic Device Switching works between iPad and iPhone but not Mac.


Steps to Recreate: AirPods connected to iPad. Start Music App on iPhone and press play and AirPods automatically switch. Press pause, then open Music on Mac and press play -- AirPods do not automatically switch.


Suggestions?
