Discover the secret to reviving your favorite tunes in stereo with our exclusive guide on troubleshooting and fixing the pesky issue of one AirPod not working.
No sound or low volume in one AirPod
If you’re experiencing no sound or low volume in one of your AirPods, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the issue.
First, make sure your AirPods are properly seated in your ears and that there is no debris blocking the sound. You can also try cleaning the AirPods with a soft, dry cloth.
If that doesn’t work, try resetting your AirPods by placing them in the charging case and holding the button on the back until the status light starts flashing.
If the issue persists, check the balance settings on your device. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Balance and adjust the slider to the center.
If none of these steps help, it’s possible there may be a hardware issue with your AirPods. Contact Apple Support for further assistance.
Fixing a non-working AirPod
If your AirPod isn’t working, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue. First, make sure both AirPods are properly seated in the charging case and that the case has enough battery percentage. Then, check if there is any debris or dirt in the charging port or on the AirPods themselves. If so, gently clean them with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If your AirPod still isn’t working, try resetting it by going to Settings on your iPhone or iPad, selecting Bluetooth, and then tapping the “i” next to your AirPods. From there, choose “Forget This Device” and then reconnect your AirPods. If all else fails, you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
