sound quality

I want to use my AirPods for Valorant but the sound quality is awful in games. The sound is perfect in my other games and good in the home pages of Valorant, but once I enter an actual match, the sound becomes very unclear. I think it has something to do with surroundsound, but I’m not sure, how can I fix this?

This is related to VOIP and the way that Windows handles it. When you are in a game with voice chat, Windows has a method of dealing with it called the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). When using VOIP, Windows will "tell" other devices that it is using VOIP and some devices will act differently in accordance with that. For whatever reason, Airpods (and many other Bluetooth devices) go into a mode where the VOIP data is transmitted differently than the regular audio data, causing both to become horribly distorted, like technology from the 80's. I have no idea how to fix this : (
