SOLVED: No sound on iPad at all.
What have I done? I was swapping in and out different guitar amps, and then suddenly the sound was gone. I can see the meters jumping, but no sound at all. I must have done some kind of quick-key combination accidentally?
A clue: There's a little orange dot in the top right corner of my AUM window, which means an app is using the microphone. I've never noticed this before.
Another clue: A different pair of earbuds works! And the headphones I was using also work on my iPhone, but they don't work on the iPad.
What on earth?
Comments
Have you powered it down (not just put to sleep) and back up?
I have powered down. I have restarted. And the sound works through the audio interface. And the headphones definitely work; listenining to Neu! on the iPhone.
I think probably the best bet is Reset All Settings.
It's damn weird.
And that didn't work. What the hell?
It always shows the mic dot and that's not usual? I'm wondering if maybe the jack isn't seating well and the iPad sees it as a TRRS jack or something?
I don't recall ever seeing the orange dot? But it stays no matter what headphones are plugged in.
And the headphones that won't work with the iPad — they work fine with the OPZ and the Digitakt.
Check lightning/usb port. I’ve had stuff jammed in there that sometimes bridges pins and thinks something is plugged in. Thus no sound from headphones as it thinks it might be pumping the audio out the bottom.
Yeah, I tried that. But it doesn't make sense that a different pair of headphones would work.
Maybe it's some kind of electrical charge in these? Super weird.
I've had that happen several times. Unplug everything, force-close all apps, memory-reset or two, reboot usually works. In that order.
The orange dot is on for me too. I kinda faintly recall there being something about that and the permissions for recording. I could easily be wrong about that though.
Apple uses some kind of signaling for remotes on the TRRS jacks. Maybe you are on to something with wondering if there is some charge, or maybe resistance in the cable that shouldn't be on the pins. I'd suspect it's more likely a ground problem because I think that's how they detect the remote clicks.
One thing that I've had happen in the past is that I've had a bad cable that worked OK when it was plugged in at certain angles, but wouldn't work at others -- maybe the alignment is different for your different devices?
Do the headphones have a mic? If they do then plugging them in last makes them take over as the audio interface. Maybe that’s unrelated, but plugging them in first then plugging in the audio interface afterwards would fix this if it is the issue.
Shit. Something really weird is happening now.
I powered down twice, and still no sound. Tried the earbuds; they worked. Tried the headphones: no go. Unplugged the headphones to see if the iPads speakers were working. They were. I plugged in the CCK to the interface, and then unplugged that and then TOTAL NOISE. The AUM DSP meter jumped above 300% and then slowly started coming down.
Fourth time powering down worked.
OK then.
