No sound playing through audiobooks app on Apple Watch

I cannot get sound to play from the Audiobooks app on my Apple Watch (series 4, 40mm) when trying to listen to a downloaded book. I have disconnected and reconnected all bluetooth headphones, made sure the volume is on and up, and still nothing.


What can I do to remedy this and get sound to play from my Apple Watch when using the Audiobooks app?


watch OS version 6.2.1

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

I have the same question too. I have downloaded an audiobook. My Bluetooth earphones picks up music I have downloaded but no sound from audiobook. This is the second time? The first time it eventually worked so that I could run with it. But now, I have downloaded a second audiobook, to use with my Bluetooth in-ear for the Apple Watch, Please don’t repeat the obvious answers like adjust the sound or do you have the book downloaded etc. Thank you
