Apple 的Airpods，尤其是基本型号，已被证明大受欢迎。人们以前所未有的速度购买这些无线耳塞(wireless earbuds)，谁能责怪他们呢？它们提供出色的构建质量和可用性以及良好的声音再现。
但是，如果您发现只有一个 AirPods 可以正常工作，那么在致电Apple(Apple)进行更换之前，还有很多事情需要尝试。
AirPod 脏了？
AirPods 中的扬声器孔很小，因此不需要太多就能挡住它们。取下硅胶尖端（适用于Pro型号），然后检查扬声器格栅。如果它被堵塞了，是时候（轻轻地）清理它们了。
Apple 有官方的AirPod 清洁指南(AirPod cleaning guide)。如果您想保持保修不变，则应严格遵循制造商的说明。
您离设备太远了吗？
蓝牙(Bluetooth)的范围很广，但无线耳机在遮挡手机或距离源设备太远的物体方面存在独特的挑战。
例如，如果您将 iPhone 放在口袋里，并且受到其他无线电源的大量干扰，则您的其中一个 AirPods 可能会不同步或完全丢失信号。将手机或设备直接放在脸前，看看是否能解决问题。如果是，请尝试更改您所在的位置，以减少来自其他设备的信号干扰。
再次关闭(Bluetooth Off)和打开蓝牙(Again)
蓝牙(Bluetooth)技术变化无常，大多数连接问题都可以通过简单地关闭设备的蓝牙(Bluetooth)并再次打开来解决：
- 取出您的 AirPods 并将它们放回盒子中。
- 关闭设备的蓝牙(Bluetooth off)。
- 打开设备的蓝牙(Bluetooth on)。
- 打开你的AirPods 充电盒(AirPods charging case)。
- 将 AirPods 放入耳中。
- 测试 AirPods
在大多数情况下，这将解决任何连接问题。
用别的东西(Something)试试你的 AirPods
确定问题是AirPods，还是连接的设备导致了问题？您可以将AirPods与几乎任何支持蓝牙的设备一起使用，而不仅仅是 iPhone 或Apple设备。因此，拿起您手头的任何其他小工具，看看AirPods是否可以与它们配合使用。
- 将 AirPods 放入充电盒，合上，然后打开盖子。
- 在您的设备上，确保蓝牙已打开(Bluetooth is on)。
- 按住充电盒背面的按钮，(button on the back of the charging case)直到指示灯闪烁白色。
- 在蓝牙设备列表中(list of Bluetooth devices)查找 AirPods并选择它以完成配对。
- 在设备上测试 AirPods。
如果尽管更换了设备，但只有一个AirPod正在播放，那么您可以确信问题出在AirPod上，而不是您的设备上。
检查单个 Pod 电池电量
因为每个AirPod在聆听过程中必须完成不同级别的工作，所以它们不会以相同的速度耗尽电池。因此，一个AirPod的电池可能没电了，而另一个仍在充电。
如果您有 iPhone 或 iPad，当您打开外壳时，您将获得每个电池盒的各个电池电量的读数。你会在屏幕上看到这个，如果一个AirPod的电池没电了，它就会显示出来。唯一的解决方案是为您的AirPod充电。
取消配对并再次配对
解决AirPods（和其他蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备）问题的另一种快速方法是取消配对并再次配对。执行此操作的确切方法因设备而异，因此如果您不确定，请查阅特定设备的文档。
在 iOS 上，您只需转到蓝牙设置(Bluetooth Settings)，然后在“我的设备”下，选择 AirPods 旁边的蓝色“i”图标(select the blue “i” icon next to your AirPods)。然后，选择忘记此设备(Forget This Device)。
完成后，使用上面“用其他东西试试(Try)你的 AirPods ”下的确切说明再次配对它们。
重新启动您的设备
只需重新启动设备即可消除许多莫名其妙的错误。所以关闭它，等待一分钟，然后再打开它。在那一刻，欢迎您向技术之神祈祷。它伤不起。
检查您的立体声平衡
辅助功能(Accessibility)设置下隐藏了一个设置，可以更改AirPod之间的音频平衡。它改变了它们之间的相对音量，因此它可以帮助一只耳朵有听力障碍的用户。一个AirPod可能会无意中静音。
转到设置(Settings )>辅助功能( Accessibility )> Audio/Visual >平衡( Balance)。
请注意滑块的位置，并确保您没有不小心将其中一个 pod 静音。
重置您的 AirPods
您可以将所有AirPods重置为开箱即用的状态。请注意，如果您重置AirPods，您必须在每台设备上取消配对，然后重新配对。这没什么大不了的，但这是一件苦差事。只需(Simply)按住充电盒背面的按钮，直到LED呈琥珀色闪烁，然后呈白色闪烁。
重置您的 iOS 网络设置
在 iOS（包括iPadOS等变体）中，只有一个功能可以重置所有网络设置，包括WiFi和蓝牙(Bluetooth)。
请注意，如果您这样做，则必须再次输入所有WiFi 密码(WiFi passwords)以及访问（例如）工作WiFi所需的任何特殊网络设置。您还必须再次将每个蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备与您的主设备配对。
如果您使用的是蜂窝设备，重置网络设置将清除运营商的所有APN设置，因此您可能需要重新输入它们。如果您是VPN用户，此重置也会删除您的设置。
要在 iPhone 上重置网络设置，请前往Settings > General > Transfer or Reset Phone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
然后选择选项并确认。
更新 iOS
将您的 iOS 设备更新到最新版本。如果您已将AirPods更新到较新的固件版本，您也必须更新您的 iOS 设备。
此更新并非专门针对仅播放一个AirPod的修复程序。(AirPod)假设问题出在设备而不是AirPods本身，更新 iOS 可能会覆盖导致此问题的任何错误。
给 Apple 支持打电话
如果您一路走到这里，但一个AirPod仍然无法工作，那么可能是时候给Apple打电话或直接从您的 iPhone 与他们聊天了(chat with them directly from your iPhone)。有时电池甚至电子元件都会出现故障。所以你不一定做错了什么。
可悲的是，对于这些小巧的密封AirPods ，用户可维修的东西并不多。更换是最明智的解决方案。希望(Hopefully)它们仍在 Apple 的保修期内。
How to Fix One Airpod Not Working
Αpple’s Airpods, especially the base model, have proven to be a smash-hit. People are buying these wireless earbuds at an unprecedented rate, and who can blame them? They offer fantastic build quality and usability with good sound reproduction.
However, if you find only one of your AirPods is working, there are more than a few things to try before calling Apple for a replacement.
Is the AirPod Dirty?
The speaker apertures in the AirPods are tiny, so it doesn’t take much to block them. Remove the silicone tips (for the Pro model) and then inspect the speaker grille. If it’s clogged, it’s time to (gently) clean them out.
Apple has an official AirPod cleaning guide. If you want to keep your warranty intact, you should strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Are You Too Far From the Device?
Bluetooth has a good range, but wireless buds have unique challenges regarding objects obscuring your phone or being too far away from the source device.
For example, if you have your iPhone in a pocket and there’s a lot of interference from other radio sources, one of your AirPods might desync or lose the signal completely. Hold your phone or device directly in front of your face and see if that resolves the issue. If it does, try to change where you are, so there’s less signal interference from other devices.
Toggle Your Bluetooth Off and On Again
Bluetooth technology can be fickle, and most connection issues can be fixed by simply turning the device’s Bluetooth off and on again:
- Remove your AirPods and put them back in their case.
- Turn your device’s Bluetooth off.
- Turn your device’s Bluetooth on.
- Open your AirPods charging case.
- Put your AirPods in your ears.
- Test the AirPods
In most cases, this will iron out any connection issues.
Try Your AirPods With Something Else
Identify if the AirPods are the issue, or if it’s the connected device that’s causing the problem? You can use AirPods with almost any Bluetooth-capable device, not just iPhones or Apple devices. So grab any other gadget you have at hand and see if the AirPods work with them.
- Put your AirPods into their charging case, close, and then open the lid.
- On your device, make sure Bluetooth is on.
- Press and hold the button on the back of the charging case until the light flashes white.
- Look for the AirPods in the list of Bluetooth devices and select it to complete the pairing.
- Test the AirPods on the device.
If only one AirPod is playing despite changing devices, you can be confident that the issue is with the AirPods and not your device.
Check Individual Pod Battery Levels
Because each AirPod has to do different levels of work during a listening session, they don’t drain their batteries at the same rate. As a result, one AirPod can have a dead battery, while the other is still charged.
If you have an iPhone or iPad, you’ll get a readout of the individual battery levels of each pod when you open the case. You’ll see this on-screen, and if one AirPod has an empty battery, it will be visible. The only solution is to charge your AirPods.
Unpair and Pair Again
Another quick way to fix issues with AirPods (and other Bluetooth devices) is to unpair them and pair them again. The exact method to do this differs from one device to the next, so consult your specific device’s documentation if you aren’t sure.
On iOS, all you have to do is go to Bluetooth Settings and then, under “My Devices,” select the blue “i” icon next to your AirPods. Then, choose to Forget This Device.
With that done, pair them again using the exact instructions under “Try Your AirPods With Something Else” above.
Restart Your Device
Many inexplicable bugs are wiped away by simply restarting your device. So turn it off, wait a minute, and then turn it on again. During that minute, you’re welcome to offer a small prayer to the gods of technology. It can’t hurt.
Check Your Stereo Balance
There’s a setting tucked away under Accessibility settings that changes the audio balance between your AirPods. It alters the relative volume between them, so it helps users who are hard of hearing in one ear. One AirPod might be inadvertently muted.
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Balance.
Note the slider’s position and make sure that you haven’t accidentally muted one of the pods.
Reset Your AirPods
You can reset all AirPods back to the state they were out of the box. Note that if you reset your AirPods, you’ll have to unpair them on every device and then re-pair them. It’s not a big deal, but it is a chore. Simply hold the button on the back of the charging case until the LED flashes amber and then flashes white.
Reset Your iOS Network Settings
In iOS (including variants such as iPadOS), there’s a single function to reset all network settings, covering WiFi and Bluetooth.
Note that if you do this, you’ll have to enter all WiFi passwords again and any special network setting you need to access (for example) your work WiFi. You’ll also have to pair every Bluetooth device with your primary device again.
If you’re using a cellular device, resetting the network settings will erase any APN settings for your carrier, so you might have to reenter them. If you’re a VPN user, this reset will also erase your settings.
To reset your network settings on iPhone, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset Phone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Then select the option and confirm it.
Update iOS
Update your iOS device to the latest version. If you’ve updated AirPods to a newer firmware version, you’ll have to update your iOS device too.
This update isn’t specifically a fix for just one AirPod playing; updating iOS might overwrite whatever bug is causing this issue, assuming the problem is with the device rather than the AirPods themselves.
Give Apple Support a Call
If you made it all the way here and one AirPod is still not working, it’s probably time to give Apple a call or chat with them directly from your iPhone. Sometimes batteries or even electronic components fail. So you didn’t necessarily do anything wrong.
Sadly, there’s not much that’s user-serviceable when it comes to these tiny, sealed AirPods. A replacement is the most sensible solution. Hopefully, they’re still under Apple’s warranty.
