5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AUDIOCULAR C08 cable, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No audio or intermittent sound.	Loose connection at IEMs or Type-C port. Incorrect IEM connection (L/R reversed). Device volume too low or muted. Incompatible device.	Ensure all connections are firm. Verify L/R markings and re-connect IEMs. Increase device volume and check mute settings. Test with another compatible Type-C device.
Microphone not working or poor call quality.	Microphone port blocked or dirty. AI-ENC not active (if desired). Software issue on the connected device.	Check and clean the microphone area. Press the AI-ENC button to activate (blue LED). Restart your device or check audio input settings.
In-line remote buttons unresponsive.	Loose Type-C connection. Device software conflict. Incompatible device.	Ensure Type-C connection is secure. Restart your device. Verify device compatibility. (Note: Some devices, like iQOO 13 mentioned in reviews, may have compatibility issues with controls).
Volume increases automatically (specific to some devices).	Device-specific compatibility issue.	This may indicate a compatibility issue with certain device models (e.g., iQOO 13). Try testing with a different compatible Type-C device.
