I bought the new AirPods Pro 2 mainly to use with my phone but also with my mp3 player when I go to the gym. I can connect them to my mp3 player, but there is no sound. I have tried 3 different players and it’s the same issue. Is this a software problem with the AirPods that can be fixed with a update or is this are the AirPods Pro 2 just a partly broken product?
Hi DrMapleBlade
Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Am no expert in this area, yet your question surely deserves a response.
Wondering if the MP3 player manufacturer may provide an app or a firmware update for use with AirPods. If may be worth checking their website, or support options.
As Apple's AirPods seem to be designed to work mainly with Apple products, third-party (non-Apple) products may not always be compatible. (Eg: Some hearing-aids are "Made for iPhone" compatible, while some are not.)
Eg: Apple Support's article: Play audio on AirPods (3rd generation) – Apple Support
Says: To protect hearing: "You can monitor and limit the volume of AirPods using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch".
(Eg: Maybe the volume setting needs changing / adapting for the MP3 player audio)

Hope there's something useful here, or perhaps others with more expertise than either of us may join the discussion, now it is under-way.
All the best :-)
