Troubleshooting
No sound or intermittent audio
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports on both devices. Test the cable with different devices or a different audio cable to rule out a faulty cable. Check the volume levels on both the source and destination devices.
Humming or static noise
This can sometimes be caused by interference. Try repositioning the cable away from power sources or other electronic devices. Ensure the gold-plated connectors are clean and free of debris.
Cable feels stiff or rigid
While designed to be flexible, extreme cold can temporarily stiffen the TPE jacket. Allow the cable to warm to room temperature. Avoid forcing sharp bends.
