AirPods connected but no sound

Hello,what is the command you have your AirPod set do?It works for me (double tapping) but I do both pause in one ear then next track in the other.

I have setup play/pause and siri. My problem has mysteriously gone away, but I have a feeling i am going to come back to this thread again soon.

This worked for me thanks

Thank you so much. This is the only solution that worked for me! I’ve tried everything else & nothing worked

You are welcome

Hi Stephen. I have the same problem, and I reset the AirPods twice but still not fixed! really don't know what to do... were you able to fix yours?

Thank you!!! This worked!!!

I did this 5 times, after the 5th time it worked. Hoping this won't continue!

Thank you! Did everything I could do but this was the answer lol

.

Thank you! this was the only thing that worked!!!!!

this is the exact issue I'm having. Did you you ever get it resolved? I have the 8plus

I've been plagued by this problem, and it's become steadily worse over the last few months. Today everything was playing fine until a timer went off. After that, playback didn't resume and nothing I can do will get them to work again. The phone says it is playing to the Air Pods, but no sound is coming out. Then after about 10 seconds, the icon showing connection to the Air Pods disappears. Rebooting phone doesn't work, killing apps doesn't work, etc. I just "forgot" the Air Pods and tried to re-pair them; total failure. I tried a second time and now it's working.

This is clearly a software problem.

I believe you are correct because I have both a Series 1 and Series 2 watch.After the iOS 11.3 my Series 1 watch had Bluetooth problems connecting to my iPhone 7.I had to completely unpair and reset my watch.My Series 1 watch and AirPods worked together perfectly now,but my Series 2 watch with same phone and AirPods stops the AirPods from playing.When I look at the media on the phone it is still playing,I then pause and disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth to AirPods,then they work again.I noticed I don’t get the chime with Series 2 but do with the Series 1.Unpairing the AirPods with my phone did nothing,if fact 10 seconds after I did it the problem returned.

I have the exact same issue. Just like karlyBoy described, putting them back to the case fixes the issue.

I don't understand what could be causing the issue. My much cheaper LG BT headset never done that so I don't think it is an interference issue.
