usb c headphone not detected on macos ventura

I was using USB c headphones (Google Pixel Usb c wired headphones) on my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro for more than a year now. It is not detecting this headphone since I upgraded the OS to Ventura.

When inserting the headphone, it flashes a window, but not able to read or understand what it is, it goes away in a split of second.

I checked the headphone on another device and is working

Please help to fix this issue


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

Make sure the macOS Security & Privacy Settings (aka System Preferences) has the Privacy options allowing macOS to access the headphones:

Control access to the microphone on Mac - Apple Support


If the headphones also include a Microphone, then you will need to make sure that is allowed as well.


Do these headphone require any third party software from the manufacturer so they can be used with macOS? If so, then you may need to install a later version of the manufacturer's software.
