Strix X570-I Bluetooth not connecting to Airpods

[Jav_B]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the scene, but I wanted to see if anyone else has this issue.

I've got the ROG STRIX X570-I GAMING motherboard - Bios 2816 11/24/2020
Win 10 2004 (19041.685)
Ryzen 7 3700X

I can't seem to pair my Apple Airpods Pro w/the motherboard bluetooth no matter what I try.
Currently I have the Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver 21.90.2.1 4/22/2020 installed, and it simply will not recognize the earbuds.

I bought a separate Bluetooth 5 dongle off amazon, installed those drivers and disabled the intel. Airpod's jumpped right on.

I would like to have them connect to the motherboard and not have to use the external dongle if at all possible.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your time.

The Bluetooth controller on the board is actually an Intel chip. Download the latest drivers off the intel website:
