My AirPod Max's stopped playing any sound

They worked a few days ago, and now they say they are connected but the sound doesn't come out of them and sometimes it doesn't come out of my phone.

Re: My AirPod Max's stopped playing any sound


Wondering if your AirPod Max's may need a firmware uodate.

You can check in Apple Support's article: About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support


AirPod Max does update automatically via a Mac or iPhone with up-to-date OS or iOS software:

Eg: iPhone with iOS 17.0.3. (a Mac with MacOS Sonoma generally updates quickest.)

If needed:

Tip: Leave AirPods connected to power overnight with the iPhone connected to wi-fi close by, so they can update automatically.

Else: Apple support's articles may help troubleshoot / find the cause of the sound issues:

Eg: Customize headphone audio levels on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

or

Scroll to: "Listen and control audio with your AirPods Max" in the article (link below)

Connect and use your AirPods Max - Apple Suppor

or

You may want to check settings: Eg: Change audio settings for AirPods Max - Apple Support

or

Check no speck of wax or dirt is blocking sound:
