Samsung has a bug in all their earbuds when connected to Windows PC. The mic volume is extremely low no matter what you do, and because of this you can't really use the buds with Teams or Zoom or telecoms. This has been a known problem for years reported by many many users and they haven't fixed it. I have other Bluetooth earbuds that work very well with Windows for telecoms and such, but not the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Talked to Samsung support and they don't acknowledge the issue just give you generic tips, none of which work.
Hello, Everyone. Just wanted to follow up to see if these symptoms have been resolved. If so, did it occur after a recent update? If Not, can you please try the following?
1.) Connect the buds to your phone again.
2.) In the Galaxy Wearables app change the touchpad function to volume up
3.) Switch back to your computer and turn the volume up on the buds until you hear the max volume beep.
4.) (Optional) Switch back to your phone change the touchpads to whatever you want and when you switch back to your computer you should be fine with volume.
I wish, but no one seems to have a solution and Samsung support is useless on the topic. This issue has been the same in several models over several years. I am switching to Sony WF-1004 buds. They work so much better and sound great for calls or music. I will say the Samsung Earbuds 2 pro are a lot more comfortable though, if only they worked.
today has been so frustrating! I invested in samsung smartphone and laptop and buds 2 pro expecting a seamless user experience for wfh. glad to see I'm not alone in facing this issue but incredibly disappointed to read this is a longstanding problem and they're not addressing it!!!!!

You didn't fully read the problem. It's not the listening volume, that's fine, its the microphone volume when you need to use the buds for a meeting or phone call and talk. The mic volume cannot be raised enough to be usable. This is a long standing issue with Samsung devices that does not occur with most other vendors devices when used on Windows PC.
maybe you didn't catch the issue, but it isn't about the volume that you hear from the earbuds connected to the PC; it's about the microphone. On the other side of a Teams call, or whatever requires the use of your voice using the earbud's microphone, they can't hear my words when I'm talking.
