Default Basic Wired Headset Question

Simplest question of the day......I have a 2019 TriGlide with a Boom! Box GTS. I want to use the wired Harley headset. I plug in to 7 plug connector into the port on the gas tank, change the audio routing to headset, and I get no sound. I am sure that there is a simple step that I am overlooking. I appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Yep, I think you are probably missing a basic step. Make sure the volume to the headset is up. One of the easiest ways to do this is - as you noted, plug the headset in, change the routing to headset -and then, use the thumb control on the left-hand side to click up. This turns the volume up.

Let me know if this works - if not, I can share or review a few other things.

^^^. Yup. Took me a while to realize that each function has it own volume control, when the function is active. Forvintercim, you have to do it while someone is talking.

With your tips and a little more "playing around", I have it working. Looks like the volume was down to the headphones and a loose connection at the headset itself.

Thanks for your help. I'm a happy camper and down road.
