6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Audiovance Vibes 201M earbuds, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Sound or Intermittent Sound:
- Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into your device's audio port.
- Check the volume level on your device and on the inline remote control.
- Verify that the detachable cables are securely connected to both earbuds.
- Test the earbuds with another audio device to rule out a device-specific issue.
- Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage.
- Poor Sound Quality (Muffled, Distorted, or Lacking Bass):
- Ensure the ear tips are the correct size and provide a tight seal in your ear canal. A poor seal significantly impacts bass response and overall sound quality.
- Clean the ear tips and the earbud nozzles to remove any earwax or debris that might be obstructing sound.
- Try a different audio source or file to determine if the issue is with the content.
- Microphone Not Working:
- Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into your device. Some devices require a TRRS (4-pole) jack for microphone functionality, which the Vibes 201M provides.
- Check your device's audio settings to ensure the correct microphone input is selected.
- Test the microphone with a different application or device.
- Earbuds Falling Out:
- Re-evaluate your ear tip size. A larger size might be needed for a more secure fit.
- Ensure the flexible ear hooks are properly positioned over and behind your ears.
- Adjust the angle and depth of the earbuds in your ear for a more stable fit.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Audiovance customer support for further assistance.
