AirPods not discoverable for sound output on LG Gram 17 laptop

My AirPods are not discoverable by my LG Gram 17 laptop for sound output, though they do work for sound input. I confirmed that most recent bluetooth driver was installed on laptop. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Remove and re-pair AirPods so Windows selects the Stereo profile

Remove device
Windows Settings → Bluetooth → AirPods → Remove
Put AirPods in pairing mode
Open the case → hold the back button → white light flashes
Re-pair the AirPods
Add Bluetooth device → Bluetooth → AirPods
After pairing, go to:
Sound Settings → Output devices

You should now see:

✔ "AirPods Stereo"

AND

✔ "AirPods Hands-Free"

Choose AirPods Stereo.
