AirPods 2 microphone only work when background noise is present

Does anyone have a fix for this. My AirPods 2 are picking my Voice only when there is a background noise (e.g. fan noise), else it won't pick anything at all

This doesn't seen logical. Assuming your voice is probably (at least) an order of magnitude higher than any background noise the AirPods should have no problem, background noise is simply a nuisance to the pods. I suggest you start by resetting and re-pairing your AirPods to restore everything to default settings.
