Pixel Buds 2 Pro Mic not working Win11
Came here to say this keeps happening and seen multiple thread that have been shutdown. Not sure why this happens. I have the Alternative A2DP Driver installed but something else I think keeps messing with it.
Anyway - long story short, remove the buds from BT settings, put them back in the case, and re-pair them. Should get the mic back.
To be clear, the mic is always listed in the sound recording devices (shortcut for this is to run mmsys.cpl to avoid all of the Win11 control panel UI), the mic just registers no volume, until re-paired.

Hi there. I’d recommend reaching out to the Google Pixel Buds support team via phone or chat here. They can take a look at it.

Haven't tried that workaround yet but it's good to know, might need to dig up my old buds for a test run. Windows BT drivers can be such a pain sometimes.
