usb-c pixel 3 earbuds just stopped letting me pause the music and adjust the volume on the earbuds.

[Android Central Question]

Had the issue a week ago where the phone just stopped recognizing the usb-c earbuds on the pixel 3xl. Restarted the phone and then they worked. Now just yesterday I got a phone call while listening to music which I dismissed and suddenly the volume was turned off. Restarted the phone again and the music plays through the earbuds but the remote function doesn't work at all....no pause, no volume control no assistant. Grrrrrrr.....

Are you still having trouble with the buds?
