Many people have experienced that even if they want to enjoy music, they will not be confused by the sound coming from their headphones. Even in this case, it is not necessary to conclude that it is a fault right away. By knowing the possible causes of the failure and its countermeasures, appropriate countermeasures can be taken.
If there is a problem with the phone or PC settings
If you can't hear your headphones, there's something you should confirm before you suspect a malfunction. Let me explain the main reason why the headphones can't make sound and how to deal with it. Please confirm it.
First of all, let's take a look at the reasons for the settings of mobile phones and PC.
In IPhone's case
First of all, this is preliminary, but let's raise the volume. Due to unexpected operation, the volume may drop, either in mute mode or mute.
It is also valid to stop all started applications. IPhone allows you to launch multiple applications in the background. As a result, sound may not be made because of the type of application and settings.
You also need to see if the destination of the output sound is set on the headset. When using a Wi-Fi device, such as an AirMac Express, you may have priority.
The situation of Android
Just like iPhone, don't forget to check the volume of the phone host. Inadvertently, because muting may turn on or set the volume to zero.
Combined with the installed application, sometimes no sound is made. To determine this, try starting your phone in safe mode. This will solve the problem.
In Windows's case
There are also many people who listen to music and watch videos through computers. First of all, this paper introduces the processing method when the headphones are plugged into the Windows and there is no sound.
For Windows settings, look mainly at the following: First, check that one of the headphones and sound settings is zero. You can also check to see if headphones are selected in the sound settings.
In sound settings, devices other than headphones may also be turned on. At this point, you may hear a sound when you turn off another device.
In addition, the sound driver may fail. In this case, you may need to reinstall or update the sound driver.
In the case of Mac
If you are using Mac but your headphones have no sound, try the following methods: First, open the system preferences. Then open Sound and return the balance position in the output tab to the left and right center.
Therefore, if you do not improve, you can also consider the failure caused by the software. It changes the settings, or causes a system failure for some reason.
If it's the software, you can consider re-adjusting the settings, repairing the system, and so on. Don't panic, re-examine the settings one by one.
In addition, it may also be caused by hardware failure. In this case, basic maintenance may be needed and a specialty store may need to be consulted.
If there is a problem with the connection
Let me introduce the solution when the headphones don't connect well in the first place.
If not recognized, restart
If the headset itself is not recognized and cannot be connected, it is not necessarily a bad contact. It could be some kind of mistake.
When the headphones don't hear the sound and it doesn't work to try all kinds of things, try restarting your phone or computer. The reason for not making a sound may be a subtle error within the device or an application failure. There are also many cases where rebooting can eliminate the cause.
A stain on the headphone Jack
Please check the headphone Jack carefully. Is it soiled by dust?
Cleaning the headphone Jack may improve the connection failure. Clean it with cotton swabs and AV equipment cleaning supplies on the market. Please note that depending on the compatibility of the headset and the fuselage, gaps may occur and dust may accumulate easily.
In the case of Bluetooth
Bluetooth headsets are also very popular in recent years. It could also be caused by a Bluetooth connection and no sound can be heard. Check how to deal with it.
I tried to re-match.
When you can't hear the Bluetooth headset, the first thing to do is to "re-pair". Bluetooth is connected wirelessly, so it must be recognized by both the host such as the mobile phone and the headset. The job is to match.
There may be some errors or troubles in the pairing settings. It doesn't match well, which is the same as not connecting headphones. In this case, it is often solved by re-pairing.
Unpair the Bluetooth headset with the mobile phone and re-pair it again.
If that doesn't work.
If re-pairing does not work, try the following:
First of all, make sure that the volume of the phone is not muted. On this basis, play the sound on other applications and so on, and check to see if it can be heard. If you hear it in another application, there is likely to be a problem with the application. Try restarting or reinstalling the application.
Alternatively, you can consider that the distance between the sound source and the Bluetooth headset is too far, so try putting the Bluetooth headset close to the sound source.
A radio wave failure may occur between the Bluetooth headset and the speakers. If there are cordless phones, microwave ovens, wireless LAN routers, etc., it is also effective to try to let go.
If you use another Bluetooth device nearby, it may not work properly. Let's turn off Bluetooth or power off.
If there is something wrong with the headset itself,
If you confirm that there is no sound on the phone, PC settings, communication environment, etc., the headset itself may have problems. What should I do if there is something wrong with the headset itself?
Repair or replacement in case of disconnection, etc.
I'm used to headphones. I want to use them for as long as possible. However, headphones that have been used for a long time may cause internal wires to be disconnected or parts to fail.
If there is a problem with disconnection or parts, of course you can't hear the sound. Not only that, in the case of problems, it may also lead to unexpected accidents such as fire. When disconnection is suspected, repair or replacement is recommended.
For mono, convert adapter
Some people can only make sound from one side of the headset. If you confirm connections, settings, etc., but somehow you can only hear sound from one side, you may plug stereo headphones into the mono plug.
In the case of old televisions, the sound source is originally a mono specification. In other words, from the beginning, sound data is sent only to one side. You can use an adapter to convert mono to stereo to produce sound from two sounds.
