No sound in the headphones

Each device may lose its functionality over time. In this case, it is important to know what methods will need to be used in order to bring it back into working condition. Thus, in this article we consider the situation in which the headphones are out of order. In addition, we will analyze the main sources of the problem and methods for their elimination.

Headphones work but no sound

Since the presented product is sometimes an indispensable thing, if a defect is found, it is advisable to immediately begin to find out the reason.

Determine the reason for the lack of sound

There are a number of factors that can tell what the problem lies. They can be conditionally divided into two groups:

• Everything that is associated with the sound source, that is, it refers to software malfunctions;
• Technical breakdowns. These are the most global options.

So, consider the most common cases:

1. Incorrect connection directly to the main unit. In addition, it is possible that the user incorrectly configured the equipment.
2. In addition, you should pay attention to the driver. Most likely, it is simply not updated on your unit. Therefore, he just can not recognize the headphones.
3. Do not overlook the fact that often people do not control the volume of the file being played.
4. The connector itself can also break down, which is located on a personal computer, smartphone or laptop.

If none of the reasons turned out to be suitable, then it is worth checking the product itself for operability. Accordingly, it is recommended to neglect the actions described below:

• When connecting the headphones to the phone, a special icon should appear, which indicates recognition. If it is absent, then the breakdown lies either at the outlet or in the equipment itself.

REFERENCE. As for the PC: you need to go to the control panel, select the “sound” and find your device in the list.

• In this case, it is better to contact the service center. If you find it, then most likely the headphones are simply not selected as the standard source.
• A system crash may also occur. The veracity of the assumption is verified by a reboot.

Headphone Sound Recovery

Of course, in most cases, the problem can be solved independently, without resorting to specialists. Below are the main ways to help return the sound:

• First, you can scroll through the various sections related to sound in the device’s settings. It may be that you accidentally disabled playback.
• It is also worth trying to pull out and re-plug the headphone plug directly from the jack.
• It is possible that the connector is just dirty. In this case, you need to arm yourself with a cotton swab and use it to gently wipe it from the inside. For a quality procedure, you can also use alcohol.

ATTENTION. Sharp objects are strongly discouraged since they can damage the inside. The hole can be purged using the same pattern, since dust is a common cause of malfunctions.

• If the device is likely to be dirty, you should refer to the following method. It is advisable to disassemble the phone and clean all possible contacts that are on the buttons. When using alcohol, you should probably dry the unit.
• If you are an iphone or ipad user, you should double-check the switch. Often, some people forget to move it to the right place.
• If the above tips did not help, then you should use the most serious option - reboot. Again, with regard to the owners of the iphone, it’s worth holding both the power button and the “home” button at the same time. And keep this combination for a few seconds. For android, you have to hold the same button, but only with "volume down". Speaking of flashing, it is worth mentioning the need to install factory firmware. However, this is not recommended, only in cases of malfunctions in the device itself.

If all else fails, then you can either wait or visit the masters of their craft.
