Right, I’ll make sure everything is updated. Thanks!

Have you tried different aux cables? Sometimes the cable itself can be the culprit, not the device.

Great point! Just the other day my aux cable decided to retire on me without warning. Lesson learned!

Make sure you’re plugging the aux into the correct port. It sounds silly, but I’ve done it before!

Haha, I can relate! I think I’ve done it a few times myself.

Sometimes a restart can help. It clears the system and might solve the issue temporarily or permanently.

So true! Just like when my Wi-Fi acts up, a quick restart saves the day. Worth a shot for aux issues too!

I’ll remember that. It’s always the simplest things that catch us off guard.

I totally understand your frustration! I’ve had similar issues where my Bluetooth interfered with the aux connection. Sometimes, just toggling Bluetooth on and off does the trick for me.

That’s exactly what I suspect! It’s like they don’t play nice together. Has anyone else experienced this?

Switching between wired and Bluetooth can be tricky. Sometimes, your device keeps trying to connect to Bluetooth, even if it’s turned off. I had to forget all connected devices just to get aux working again!

Exactly! I’ve noticed that too. It’s like my phone is determined to stick with Bluetooth, even when I want it to use aux!

One thing I found helpful was to restart my device after switching back to aux. It seems to reset the audio settings and clear any weird glitches.

Great tip! I never thought of that. Just wondering, do you think it’s a software issue or hardware?

It could be a mix of both. I remember when my aux stopped working completely, and it turned out to be a loose connection. But the software updates can definitely mess with settings.

I’ve also faced issues where aux only worked with certain devices. The settings might differ from one Bluetooth device to another. Just a thought!

That’s frustrating! My Bluetooth headphones had a mind of their own; sometimes they just wouldn’t disconnect!

Humorously, I’ve had days where I felt like my car stereo was conspiring against me! Finally realized I had forgotten to unpair a device. When in doubt, check for unpaired devices!

Definitely! I’ve learned that the hard way. It’s like a tech scavenger hunt every time I switch around audio sources.

I wonder if it’s also about how much interference there is in your area. Sometimes, I’ve had to move my phone around to get it to connect right. Crazy how technology works!
