3. Continue using the microphone

This is a simple workaround, but few Mac users reported that it worked for them, so you might want to try it.

4. Check your firmware

Some users managed to clear this problem by updating the firmware for the AirPods so do that right now. To do that, you only need to start charging your AirPods while still connected to your iPhone. Of course, the smartphone should also be connected to the Internet.

5. Verify the Active Microphone Settings

This solution is only if the microphone is working on only one AirPod so make sure you perform the steps above.

6. Restart your smartphone

This issue can be simply caused by a connectivity issue from the iPhone that is not recognizing any inputs so you should restart the device. To do that, just hold the Side button and Volume Down button pressed together at the same time for a couple of seconds. If your iPhone has a home button, you only need to keep the Side button pressed to reset the device.
