Forcing iPad to use headphone jack, when using audio I/F?
I have a keyboard controller connected to the iPad (which has the headphone jack) and the controller also functions as. class compliant audio driver automatically seen by iOS and apps and connected via a single USB cable.
Question is, is there any way to force iOS and apps to use the headphones and NOT the USB audio? Trying to do stuff with MIDI only and I need to have separate streams. I cannot find anything in iOS settings..
Comments
Some apps (Audiobus and Loopy Pro, for example) let you turn on an OS feature called multiroute audio that I think works for that use-case. Beware that it isn’t s a not very maintained OS feature. It can be a bit hit or miss.
I'm not sure I understand correctly. It sounds like you're trying to use the midi only from the keyboard and not have it work as an audio interface.
If so, it may work to use headphones that have a microphone on the iOS device if you plug them in after the keyboard. The headphones should be detected as an audio device and "steal" the audio stream from the controller while preserving the midi. At least this is what has happened to me when I forget and plug in earbuds with a mic after an audio interface.
Multiroute could also be the answer. Hopefully one or the other will work out for you. If not then there's not much you can do unless there's a setting in the controller to tell it not to act as an audio interface.
