If USB-C headphones show connected but stay silent, clean the port, reconnect them, check USB audio routing in Developer options and test with another pair.

USB-C headphones need a digital or analog audio mode that matches the phone.

After you make the change, play the Headphone Test again to confirm the result. If the problem is still there, add your device, browser and what you tried in the replies so the team can narrow it down.

    Developer options fixed it. I tested it on my own setup and it held up for weeks.

    Port was dirty. Worth trying before you spend any money.

    Checking which output device is selected is my first move before I reinstall or replace anything.
