Where is the 'auto-mute' option?! Every time I plugin my midi keyboard, it sends signal ...
And there is no audio. This is exceptionally frustrating, and I want to turn this option OFF. But I can't find it, and I'm not understanding how everything is being muted and where to unmute it.
My audio tracks play just fine, the midi goes silent. It shows signal, but makes no noise. All the sliders are turned up, and nothing comes out. Make it make sense.
Insights appreciated.

And just to be clear, the 'auto-mute' setting found under system settings is off. And there is signal in EVERY audio channel, including the main. The ipad is turned up. The audio is turned, everything else works!
There isn’t a midi auto-mute function. There is an auto-mute of hardware audio inputs you can turn off in Loopy Pro’s System Settings panel.
In order to know what might be going, we will need screenshots off your loopy pro mixer in extended mode showing all channels.
A link to a video demonstrating the issue would be helpful.
That's a lot of hoops to jump thru, I'm not setup to just take videos and pictures and post them. I'm not sure what you would see that's any different.
Imagine you setup midi channels in auv3, save your project, re-open it ... plug your keyboard in. Everything is showing. Everything is the same. Nothing changed. And there is zero audio. There is signal. Every single channel receives signal. All other audio works. The midi signal is even showing up in the audio out channel, yet for some reason is producing no audio.
The auto-mute is turned off. Nothing is muted.
You ... turn the ipad off and on. Restart the project. Same thing. Change the order of plugging the keyboard in, starting the software, and same issue.
I have this exact same scene saved in AUM. I load AUM, it works flawlessly. This is a setting somewhere in loopy, its not my audio setup or gear, I've triple checked it all to make sure to not waste anyones time.
Ok. Just figured it out. It actually was the 'auto-mute', for some reason the order of connecting gear to the ipad matters. With it turned off, I'm not facing these issues. Appreciate your taking the time and making the effort.
@Falcor :
You say midi signal is showing up in the audio channel. I am not sure what that means. MIDI doesn’t show up in audio output channels. If you are seeing level on an audio channel , that is audio level not midi. If you see audio level on a channel that has a hardware destination and aren’t hearing it, there is something going on with the audio not the MIDI. But I can’t speculate without more information.
I’d love to help you but without seeing how you have things set up or a demonstration, it is impossible for me to speculate—as we have had literally no other reports of similar behavior.
Taking a screenshot on your device is a matter of pushing a couple of buttons..the exact ones depend on your device. I would not characterize asking for them as jumping through hoops. They very often provide information that helps solve the problem.
My previous post was written before the post before it came in.
Just want to mention, if the order of connecting gear makes a difference: if you connect more than one device that can serve as an audio interface, maybe one is a keyboard with optional audio, iOS will only recognize the last audio interface to be connected. So you can try to order the sequence to get the desired result. And you cannot use two audio devices at the same time. That's a limitation of iOS.
Yes, that is the way and exactly what happened. The joys of a modular system, the USB hub has a few extras that are registering as audio devices. Plugging in the 1/4" audio cord last has consistently solved this.
