    The OS does not see it. I am using the cable that came with the Spark. It works w macOS garageband.

    USB C <—> USB A <—> camera connector <—> phone . Nothing doing. Add USB power via lightning, no difference. Flipping the cable also…no difference.

    Very strange. If the cable works with the Mac then it's not just a power cable and should work. Did the Spark show up as an Audio input in GarageBand? There was some confusion earlier between MIDI and Audio.

    btw, the manual doesn't state anything about iOS compatibility for the USB interface. @espiegel123 mentioned that others reported having used it tho. I'm basing my assumptions that it can work on that only.

    I notice from the web site that there's a Spark GO firmware updater. I wonder if there's any chance that the firmware needs updating. That would require a Mac or PC to try though.

    btw, there's this from the manual ...

    With Spark GO turned off, connect to a computer via USB with the included USB cable. Turn on Spark GO and select “Spark GO USB Audio” as the recording/ playback device.

    Have you tried connecting with power off, then turning the GO on?

    Also this:

    Spark GO accepts 2 different input ways (Bluetooth Audio / USB Audio) to stream the music, but please note that you can only use 1 input at a time. If the 2 of them are connected to Spark GO at the same time, only one of the input will work properly.

    Is it possible that the Spark is connected to something (anything) by Bluetooth? That would steal the USB connection. If the Bluetooth LED is solid blue then it's connected to something.

    Was there an installer that you ran on MacOS. If so, it may use a custom driver.

    A web search for Spark GO and iOS yields a lot of discussions where some people get it to work and others don't. A few people in the Loopy Pro Facebook group mention using it and some had trouble getting the OS to see it. There is a long reddit thread where some people had good luck and others didn't with no clear reason why it works for some but not others.

    Positive Grid seemed ambivalent about iOS support.

    I can't recall, did you try running the Spark App and see if the sample rate was settable?

    Was there any mention of firmware updates in those discussions?

    Not that I saw...but updating to the latest firmware seems like it would probably be a good idea.

    It's my understanding that the Spark Go is not supported under iOS. Only on Mac OS / Windows.

    From the Spark Go website https://help.positivegrid.com/hc/en-us/articles/29251470632973-USB-Recording

    "Spark GO does NOT work as an audio interface for iOS and Android devices."

    It is/was a huge oversight IMO.

    Good find @ltf3. Too bad none of the rest of us unearthed that before poor @old_head shelled out for the Apple CCK.

    Oh well, it'll be crucial for getting audio and midi using a class-compliant interface eventually anyway.
