Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Playback that pauses with wearing/removal; not a recovery flow for a persistent radio connection loop.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Audio keeps cutting out.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at check-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
check-0
Does the interruption coincide with wearing or removal?
Observe the player’s pause state and Bluetooth connection separately.
Look for: Confirm the stated observation; do not infer an unavailable detail.
- If Yes / this check is completed → Inspect Auto Play/Pause
- If No / the check cannot be completed → Keep the last observation for support
- If I do not know / cannot check → An observation is still unknown

Look for: Perform only this check, then choose whether it could be completed.
- If Yes / this check is completed → Temporarily disable Auto Play/Pause
- If No / the check cannot be completed → Keep the last observation for support
- If I do not know / cannot check → An observation is still unknown

check-2
Temporarily disable Auto Play/Pause
Automatic wear-triggered play/pause will be unavailable during this comparison. Remember the old state so it can be restored.
Look for: Perform only this check, then choose whether it could be completed.
- If Yes / this check is completed → Can the same movement/playback comparison be completed?
- If No / the check cannot be completed → Keep the last observation for support
- If I do not know / cannot check → An observation is still unknown

check-3
Can the same movement/playback comparison be completed?
Record whether automatic pausing changes and whether Bluetooth remains connected. A persistent connection loop needs manufacturer support instead of repeated resets.
