Anker Soundcore Space One Play Pause Button Unresponsive

If the sensors are affected in any way due to a variety of reasons, it could affect how the buttons react to touch, making them seem unresponsive.

• The touch sensor of the device might not register if you press it right away. It could take a second to react.
• Sweaty hands, high temperatures, or humidity can interfere with the sensor that detects when you're wearing the device, leading to issues with the play/pause function.
• If the ear cups are dirty, then the sensor may not register correctly.
• Wipe off any moisture, cool off the device, and put the device in an area that has low humidity. Try the button after the device isn't being affected by any external factors.

If the lock screen on a device you're trying to connect to is locked, the play/pause button can't be used.

• Some music apps might behave differently when the device is locked, which could impact the play/pause button's responsiveness.
• Unlock the screen and try again.

If multiple sources of audio are playing simultaneously, the play/pause button has a harder time differentiating them, causing it to not work properly.

• Ensure multiple audio-playing sources aren't open to avoid confusion in the play/pause button's command reception.
• Clear all audio sources and try the button again.

If the device you're trying to connect to doesn't have the necessary commands, it could stop the play/pause button from working.
