Why Is There Sound from the Car Radio but No Sound When Playing Music?
2 Answers
The reasons why there is sound from the car radio but no sound when playing music include system lag and Bluetooth connection failure. Below are detailed explanations of these causes: System Lag: If the car multimedia has no sound but the speakers are functioning normally, it is generally not a mechanical issue but rather caused by system lag. In this case, try restarting the car to reset the system. After the system reboots, the multimedia usually resumes normal operation. Bluetooth Connection Failure: If the car multimedia is connected via Bluetooth from a mobile phone, try disconnecting and reconnecting the Bluetooth. Incoming calls can interrupt the signal input, and after the call ends, Bluetooth lag or failure may result in no sound from the speakers. Users of Bluetooth headphones often encounter this issue—simply reconnecting usually resolves it.
The radio has sound but no music playback? I've encountered this issue while driving too - the radio works fine, but when playing music via Bluetooth from my phone, there's no sound at all. Usually it's because the audio source isn't properly switched - you need to select Bluetooth or USB in the system menu. Possible causes include: Bluetooth pairing failure (phone not connected or weak signal due to distance), loose USB port connection, damaged USB drive, or incompatible format. Occasionally software glitches may occur - try restarting the car's infotainment system by turning off and restarting the vehicle. Make sure your phone volume isn't set too low and verify stable connection in the paired devices list. If problems occur while driving, pull over safely before troubleshooting. Long-term USB port wear and dirt accumulation are common issues - clean regularly or replace the USB drive. Address problems promptly to avoid affecting your driving mood and prevent distractions that could lead to accidents. If all else fails, consult a professional technician to check the wiring.
