Playback not working on AirPods Pro Hi, I’ve noticed that the playback (resuming music with a single click after pausing the same way) doesn’t work on my AirPods Pro 3. I tested it with different apps, did a factory reset of the AirPods but the issue still persists. How do I fix this? I have iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 26.1.

AirPods Pro music volume lowers with bass after iOS update Since i’ve updated to the new IOS my Airpod Pros have been making music on Spotify quieter and sound muffled every time bass hits. I’ve tried changing audio settings to turn this off but I can’t find anything that works.

Thank you for the screenshot.

Troubleshooting Dolby Atmos on an iPhone:

A. Update the iOS:

Use my User Tips:

Computer: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip
Cellular: Use an iPhone 12 or later, that is using 5G, in order to update over Cellular - User Tip

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update

Then...

B. Try enabling this...

Go to: Settings
Tap: Apps (very bottom)
Tap: Music
Tap: Dolby Atmos
Toggle On: Always On
