AirPods Pro problems between "Headset" and "Headphones" in Win10
Before re-installing Win10 Pro (20H2, v.2) last night my AirPods Pro worked like a charm: clear sound, full range from treble to bass. I could use the squeeze/tap functions to pause audio, jump tracks forward/reverse.
After re-installing Win10 last night my AirPods Pro are misbehaving. I noticed a steep decline in audio quality (sounds like a 1950s AM radio) and couldn't use the squeeze/tap functions.
Windows shows two AirPods items -- both in Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage audio devices and on the Speakers icon in the taskbar notification area:
Headphones - AirPods Pro Stereo
Headset - Airpods Pro Hands-Free AG Audio
With the "Headphones" selected: I get the audio quality I had before: clear with full range of sounds, but I don't get the squeeze/tap functions.
With the "Headset" selected, I get the horrendous audio quality, but I get the squeeze/tap functions. Windows says all the correct and current drivers are installed.
I uninstalled all the AirPods entries from Device Manager and rebooted, but they reinstalled with the same situation.
How can I get what I had before re-installing Win10: (a) clear, full-range sound and (b) able to use the squeeze/tap functions?
