My Fairbuds XL is not working with this audio cable. I’d like to use it for television, but there’s no sound at all! What could be the problem! [IMG_20251017_155856]

[image] Original usb-c to jack 3.5 does not work on FP4 Fairphone 4 I guess that applies to your use case as well. This USB-c to jack cable cant work this way it does not include any DAC and is meant to work the other way around on the XL Buds

Are your Fairbuds XL switched on? (LED light on the Fairbuds XL) I believe :thinking: passive (Fairbuds XL switched off) audio transfer to the Fairbuds XL only works with the 3.5 mm port on the Fairbuds XL (that requires a cable with 3.5 mm plugs on both ends).

Sorry, I think my previous post was wrong and misleading. As I read here :right_arrow: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/8438867706769-How-to-use-your-Fairbuds-XL#cable , audio transfer via cable requires that there is no bluetooth connection interfering – if you used the Fairbuds XL v…

I dont understand NL so I dont know what you bought, however in the linked topics its explained there are different types [image] Question regarding Jack-to-usbC cables Accessories If I understand you correctly, you are trying to plug the jack into Phone or St…

I try to plug the jack into my tv and the USB-C into my headset, yes. Personally I don’t see any difference with the one Fairphone sells but I don’t know anything about all this stuff. I’ll try the latter but the problem is that the cable isn’t long enough. Oh well,… Thank you anyway!

Hello Fairphone sells two similar cables. [image] Fairbuds XL Headphones USB-C - mini jack 3.5mm Cable Whether you just prefer to be wired to your music or your favorite player doesn’t support Bluetooth or USB-C, we’ve got you covered. This one I believe al…

The Fairphone cable has three rings on the (3.5 mm) audio plug, your cable has only two. A missing ring means reduced functionality.

Sorry, but this is misleading. A third ring on the jack is for Play/Pause and volume conteol on the cable. But the problem here is that there are different types of USB-C ←> jack cables regarding the direction of sound. A USB-C ← jack cable with controls that could be used with the Fairbuds XL is…
