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.
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.
Check for a loose cable connection
Over time, normal use can place strain on the earbud cable and connector. Inspect the cable for signs of damage, kinks, or excessive bending, particularly near the earbuds and connector plug, as a loose connection can affect audio performance.
Ensure the connector is fully inserted into the audio device. If the device is using a protective case, cover, or adapter, verify that it is not preventing the connector from making full contact.Check that the USB-C port is clean and free of debris.
Use a flashlight or other light source to check if any lint or debris has entered the USB-C port on the device, which can interfere with the connection.
Try connecting a different audio device.
If available, connect another audio device using the same cables and connections to determine if the issue is related to the first device or its settings.
Make sure the device is compatible with the headset.
