LE Audio on Windows 11 with AirPods Pro 3

Hello,


I recently bought the APP3’s and have connected them to my windows 11 pc. I have LE Audio enabled on my pc and I have a Bluetooth 5.2 antenna. However, when using the AirPods on discord the audio quality is reduced and is mono.


I understand this was a problem with older Bluetooth devices but hoped maybe the APP3’s would support it.


Does anyone know if there is a fix for this yet? Or will the AirPods not use LE audio on non-apple devices.


Thanks for the help.

On Apple computers and devices:

The mono / stereo settings are available on the computer or device that the AirPods are connected to.

There are also many other software controls that can be used with connected AirPods.


Sorry I do not know what settings or controls are available for connected AirPods on a PC with Windows.

There don't seem to be any suggestions in Apple's documentation for controlling use with PC and Windows

If anyone else has useful knowledge on this, please feel free to join in this discussion, and share it.
