iPad requires hard disconnect to see audio interface

I have an amp (the kind for plugging in record players and so on) that has a USB input. But if I connect an iPad to it with a USB-C to USB-B cable, the iPad doesn’t see it.

The only way to make it realize the amp is there is to unplug and replug the USB-B end of the cable from the amp. I don’t like the wear and tear this will cause.

Any ideas? Or should I just get one of those Belkin AirPlay 2 dongles?

    Are you able to turn the amp off and back on?
    Try it when connected but the iPad doesn’t see it.
    It may accomplish the same thing as unplugging/re-plugging the USB cable into the amp.

    I’d rather not power-cycle the amp just to make it connect. But I guess that would work.

    USB-B is rated for 1500 plug/unplug cycles at a minimum (but chances are good that the number is much higher). It would take over 4 years of you unplugging it every single day for it to maybe fail on you. Pretty sure you’ll be fine unplugging it without much worry.

    Nice. I’m happy replugging the USB-C over and over, but I’ve had two USB-B connectors fail on me before.

    Good to know I needn’t worry though.

    Crazy that you’ve had two usb connectors fail on you before. I’ve never had that happen in 25+ years. I still have devices from probably 10-15 years ago that still work great. Hopefully you have better luck with this piece of equipment.

    One was a Mackie Blackjack, and I replaced the USB plug myself. I can’t remember what the other one was. In both cases the plug came loose from the circuit board.

    Anyhow, problem solved now-I am using a Belkin AirPlay 2 dongle with optical cable connected to the amp.
