Reboot the connected device.

Electronics might need to be reset from time-to-time—much like rebooting a computer. Power off the device, then power it back on and try again.

Check that the headphone jack is clean and free of debris.

Use a flashlight or other light source to check if any lint or debris has entered the headphone jack on the device, which can interfere with the connection.

Remove and reseat the audio cable in the connected device.

On the connected device, disconnect the cable that connects your headset. Then, reconnect it to be sure it is fully connected and secure. (Tip: While connected, if you rotate the plug in the jack and hear crackling or intermittent sound, there might be debris or an issue with a contact inside the jack.)

Remove the connected device from any case or protective sleeve.

A case or sleeve may prevent the audio cable from seating properly into the headphone jack. If using a case, remove it and try again.

If connected, bypass any adapters or extension cables.

If your product connects to the device using an extension cable or adapter, disconnect the extension cable or adapter to determine if the issue is related to it.
