      • If the issue is not resolved: Go to the next troubleshooting step.
         
    2. Close all apps except the one you are currently using.
      • The issue is resolved: The sound can skip when multiple apps are open at one time.
      • If the issue is not resolved: Go to the next troubleshooting step.
         
    3. Check if the issue occurs on all music files.
      • The issue occurs on all music files: Go to the next troubleshooting step.
      • The issue occurs on only one or some specific files: The issue may have been caused by the file format. High-resolution audio takes up more file capacity because it contains more information. Due to this, it causes a greater burden when using Bluetooth communication. Convert the files to a different file format, such as MP3 or AAC.
         
    4. Check if the issue also occurs when connected with other devices.
      • The issue is resolved: The playback device that was initially connected may be malfunctioning. Consult the manufacturer of the device.
      • The issue is not resolved: The headphones may be malfunctioning, and service may be required.
