Airpods connected but no sound

Hi airbarerra,

Sounds like you need to select Bluetooth Headset to automatically be selected to receive the audio from calls when when you are actively using your AirPods.

I have an iPhone 11, I go to

Settings->Accessibility->Touch->Call Audio Routing and then select from, AUTOMATIC, BLUETOOTH or SPEAKER. Hope this helps you.

Troubleshooting this Connection:

It probably keeps losing the signal due to earwax, making it just fall out. That is a typical reason for using the connection.

A Few Thoughts:

A. Visit Apple Support links:

• If your Left or Right AirPod isn't Working -- Apple Support
• If your AirPods Won't Connect -- Apple Support
• Connect and Use your AirPods and AirPods Pro -- Apple Support

B. Verify the Balance:

1. Go to: Settings
2. Tap: General
3. Tap: Accessibility
4. Scroll Down: to Hearing
5. Adjust: the audio volume balance

or...

C. Also, Clear Out Earwax:

D. Perform a Hard Restart of the iPhone:

1. Deselect: all of these apps (so that they are "grey" in color)
2. Tap: General
3. Tap: Shut Down (very bottom).
4. Swipe: Line to the Right
5. Wait: 30 Seconds
6. Power Back Up
