AirPods connected but no sound

You can fix it by going to the control panel, long-holding (or 3D-touching) the “music” tab, then selecting AirPods from the sound-play dropdown (top-right corner of the widget).

Hope this helped!

Apple support had me reload my iPhone as a new iPhone and not restore from backup and the problem continued with the AirPods. So apple replaced my iPhone and I have not had the problem sense.

I use the Apple Watch. Apple thought it was the problem possibly but I’ve the same set up with the replaced iPhone 7+ and I haven’t had the problem re-occur.

Interesting....I am hoping a replacement will help me.

Where is auto ear detection option at?

Do you have tiles or Apple Watch ?

Same problem. I’ve unpaired, repaired, taken them out of the case, put them in the case, no rhyme or reason.

I am 100% convinced this problem is related to tile and Apple Watch. Do you have an Apple Watch? So how many tiles do you use?

Ran into the same issue. Resolved it by forgetting the airpods form bluetooth settings, restarting the phone and pairing them again. Hope it works.

Yep. Happens with frustrating regularity. There’s a fundamental problem with them that they’re still not admitting to. I’m seeing a class action lawsuit coming.

This worked perfecty. Thanks.

Your phone may need a reboot along with your AirPods so just reset them both

Problem solved u just need to factory reset i had same problem and went to best buy and they factory resetted my airpods and now problm solved

I am having the exact same problem since I updated to iOS 11.3.It fixes it everytime,sometimes I can listen for hours sometimes I have to do this 4-5 a hour.

Ran into this problem. I just double tapped one of the AirPods and it played through the AirPods just fine.
