Charging works, but headphones don't work.

Hi all,

Today suddenly my headphones stopped working. I can charge my phone with the lightning cable. When I plug my headphone to the lightning port, it does not connect to my headphones. There is no sound and also I can not change the volume with the buttons on the headphones.

Dock connector changed two months ago, but after replacement I had no problems with the headphones.

What could be the problem? Thanks!

You may have a poor quality Lightning Flex and it just took a certain amount of time before it failed. I would try a new replacement flex, preferably one purchased from a quality supplier to see if that solves your problem.

The phone is fixed. The flex cable was good. I replaced the Audio IC and now is everything fine.

That's interesting, thanks for updating the post. There hasn't been a lot of cases of audio IC issues on the iPhone 8...wonder if this is a one off or the beginning of a trend.

I’ve been having a similar issue, i just bought new earbuds and they were working for a solid few weeks until they just stopped connecting. My phone charges fine and i thought there was debris in my charging port but i had it cleaned completely and it still won’t work. Sometimes if i go a while without plugging in the earbuds they’ll randomly start working, and i have to unplug and replug the earbuds in order for it to work sometimes.

i have the same problem. i think the problem is not the lightning cable for me cos i tried using it on another iphone and it was easily detected also i tried a different lightning cable on my iphone and it still doesnt recognize it so maybe the problem is the port but then again for my charger it works so idk why it doesnt for my earphones
