  • Confirm the volume on the Receiver is not set to minimum or muted.
  • Ensure the audio source is active and producing sound.
• Intermittent Sound or Dropouts:
  • Check the distance between the Transmitter and Receiver; ensure it's within the 100ft effective range.
  • Minimize obstacles (walls, large metal objects) between the units.
  • Avoid areas with strong 2.4GHz interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other wireless devices).
  • Ensure both units have sufficient battery charge.
• Poor Sound Quality / Distortion:
