No audio on connected Pixel Buds Pro (Pixel 10 XL Pro)

The title says it all. Pixel Buds connect but no audio. Get Audible auto from Android Auto (using Smart Box wireless adapter). Using the connected Pixel Buds, Phone app has audio but full of static, nothing from Audible. Same issue with different brand of ear buds.

All my Garmin devices connect and seems to work.

Tried all the resets, Bluetooth, factory on the Buds, repair mode, safe mode, cleared storage/cache on Bluetooth app... nothing works.

So frustrating. Any tips will be appreciated
