Airpods sound robotic on MacOS

I've got the same issue, Airpod Pros and MX Master 3 mouse - but I only ever get the issue when I'm in the office, working from home I've never had an issue!

Everyone go to Audio Midi Setup, select your Airpods in the left sidebar, and make sure the sample rates are set to at least 44,100khz.

Mine are set to 48 kHz (output) and 24 kHz (input, which is the only option).

Has anyone solved this ? Still happening on Monterey 12.6.1, AirPods Pro 2 and Logitech MX Master 3.

As I said before updating to Ventura fixes the issue.

I'm still using Macbook Pro 15 Mid 2015 which isn't getting new MacOS Ventura. At least any workaround ? Thanks.

It doesn't. Had a Google Meet this morning and was told I sound like a robot.

When I do a test audio recording of my voice on QuickTime the quality is not the best, but it's not robot-y to me. Weird.

2021 14" MBP + AirPods 3rd Gen + MX Master 3 w/o receiver

This is really annoying, considering buying wired EarBuds.

What exact OS version do you run?
It helped me in 100% cases.
But I never use Google Meet

Ventura 13.0. System Firmware Version: 8419.41.10

does anyone knows if Monterey 12.6.2 Beta (21G312) solves this issue ? Thanks.
Edit:
It did not, same problem.

I have noticed that it happens exactly when my keyboard connected by BT5.0, and if I switch to BT3.0 it became well, no distortion(robotic) sound

I've just upgraded from Monterey 12.6.something to Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68). I use an MX Keys Mini and Airpods Pro with a 2020 M1 13" MBA.

I am apparently clearer, but I am still hearing robotic glitching in my audio. Turned my MX keyboard off and brought out the Magic Keyboard again and the robotic glitching immediately stopped.

I don't think changing to Ventura has done anything.

Robotic glitching happens with sudden BlueTooth bandwidth losses.
I have found Macs severely limited with more than three devices connected (including the AirPods.) On my Studio, I now mostly run with the Magic Keyboard Touch and Magic Trackpad connected. When trying to use a game controller, I turn my mouse off to avoid lag.
