How To Attach AirPods With Steam Deck?

To attach AirPods with a Steam Deck, follow these concise steps:

1. On your Steam Deck, press the Steam button to open the sidebar.
2. Navigate to Settings > Bluetooth. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
3. Open the lid of your AirPods case, but do not remove the earbuds. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the indicator light flashes white, putting your AirPods in pairing mode.
4. Your Steam Deck should detect the AirPods. Tap on the AirPods listing to pair them.

If the initial attempts are not successful, you can try an additional fix:

• Plug a mouse and keyboard into the USB ports of your Steam Deck.
• Hold the power button to open the power menu, then select "Switch to Desktop" to enter the Linux desktop.
• Go to Bluetooth Settings and set it to "enable on login."

By following these instructions, you should be able to connect your AirPods to your Steam Deck, although you should note that AirPods will not act as a microphone for chat purposes. However, they will provide audio input for your games.
