My headphone adapter isn’t working,HELP!

My headphone adapter was working a few hours ago, then I tried there was no sound but when I put the volume up all the way it has a static sound then it plays clear and if I put the volume down the sound stops working and I can’t hear anything. Is my headphones broken or the adapter because before my last adapter did this so I got a new one.

iPhone X, iOS 12

Headphone shows up when plugged in but no sound Has anyone else had this problem? Whenever I plug my headphones in, it shows that they are plugged in but there is no sound coming out. All I hear is a very faint static. It isn’t the headphones, though. I tried multiple headphones and all of them are doing the same thing. If it helps, I just updated to 10.15.5 so it may be an issue with the update?

Is there a fix for the Apple adapter? So, I’m using an adapter with my headphones but recently the audio started giving problems. There’s either no sound coming from it or I’m hearing static. Airplay output says that the audio was playing through ‘Dock Speaker’ I’m not sure if that’s normal for headphones connected to an adapter. The charging port is working perfectly fine just the audio is messed up. I used the headphones on numerous devices and the audio is fine, I’ve also tried different headphones with the adapter and it’s the same problem. I’ve cleaned out all debris but it’s still not working. I’m hoping there’s a fix because I bought the adapter not even one month ago and they are pretty expensive.

Hello,

Check all of the connections for lint or other debris.

Use Apple headphones with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod

Good luck.
