Realme has several truly wireless earbuds in its arsenal. This includes the Realme Buds Air, Realme Buds Air Pro, and Realme Buds Q-series. One major problem users have been facing with Realme TWS is that one side, the left or right earbud, stops working automatically after some time. Therefore, this article will look at different methods to fix Realme and Dizo Buds one side not working problem in detail.
No Audio in Left or Right Realme Buds?
Some older Realme Buds models follow a master-slave relationship. The right earbud is connected to the phone, and the left is paired with the right earbud. In contrast, newer models like the Realme Buds Air connect individually to the device.
Irrespective of the models, many users have been facing a strange issue wherein the left earbud would automatically stop working. We, too, have experienced it with our Realme Buds Air Pro, wherein the left side stops playing music with a buzz.

Method 1- Clean Realme Buds Sensor & Charging Connector
The Realme Buds use an optical sensor to detect if they are being used. Hence, they can automatically pause music once you remove them. The buds also have connectors at the stem bottom to charge when sitting inside the case.
The sensors or the charging connector may not work correctly if dirty, causing disconnection issues. So, clean the buds and the charging connector at the bottom. Also, clean the dirt and debris from charging pins inside the charging column in case.
- Clean the Realme Buds Surface
- Clean the Realme Buds Charging Connectors
- Clean the Realme Buds Charging Column in Case
If it’s the charging at fault, notice the battery percentage of the left earbud- it will always be on the verge of dying and keep disconnecting. The connector needs to be in contact for the buds to charge properly.
Method 2- Charge the Realme Buds
Keep the buds in the charging case for more than 10 minutes while ensuring that the case has enough battery to supply. You can also keep them plugged in for a full charge. Doing so will make sure that the battery isn’t the one causing either side to stop working.
Method 3- Turn Off and on Your Phone’s Bluetooth
A quick fix to connect both the Realme Buds properly will be turning off and turning back on your phone’s Bluetooth. Doing so will disconnect and reconnect the phone to the truly wireless buds and clear out any temporary issues for the time being.
However, if this does not work, proceed with resetting the buds shown below.
Method 4- Reset the Realme TWS Buds to Fix No Audio
Resetting the Realme TWS earbuds will likely fix one side not working or having no sound issue. Here’s how you can do it on your Realme or Dizo Buds:
Step 1: Pull out and put both Realme buds back in the charging case.
Step 2: Press the button for 10 seconds while keeping the lid open to reset the buds.
