I understand that the gen 1 airpods max can accept a audio line in signal with a lightening to stereo mini plug adapter. I can't get this to work! I bought these specifically to use on airlines to watch movies etc. Didn't work on my recent flight, and I can't get it to work with any other devices.
Please let me in on the secret! Thanks

Am no expert in this field, yet your post surely deserves a response.
Seems Apple's cable brings audio to the AirPods Max,
whereas most generic cables take audio in the other direction eg: to a speaker
Wondering whether Apple support's articles (links below) can help troubleshoot your difficulty
Connect and use your AirPods Max - Apple Support
Apart from wireless connection with devices like iPhone etc:
Eg: Above article says:
"Use AirPods Max for audio with a 3.5mm audio source
You can use your AirPods Max in wired mode to connect to analogue sources:

Thank you. I’ll give it a try again, but pretty much have done these things.
an Apple tech told me I had to turn off the microphone input in settings. I couldn’t find a way to do that. Any ideas on that one anyone?
Thank you kindly for your reply :-)
Seems an airplane adaptor (or travel adaptor) may be needed in order to use wired head-phones for in-flight entertainment as many airplanes have a two-point socket
Re: turn off the microphone input in settings : couldn’t find a way to do that.
On Mac: See: System Settings > Sound > for the available Input / Output controls
My AirPods Max generation 1 won't connect to audio devices
