Description

Sending the packets does nothing, no matter the state of the airpods. Even if both are in case and connected.

Are you sure the packages are correct?

Research direction
This issue reports that toggling case charging sounds via packet sending does not work. The first step is to verify the packet structure used for the toggle command. Check the source code in the packet creation module (likely in a file like PacketBuilder.kt or similar). Compare the packets sent with the expected format from the AirPods reverse engineering documentation. Additionally, review the comments on this issue for any hints from the maintainer about the packet correctness. If the packet structure is correct, then investigate the connection state handling and ensure packets are being sent to the correct characteristic.
