Apple Arcade Audio Isses

Is anyone else having issues with audio on games from Arcade? Audio works fine if I use my AirPods, but if I don't have headphones connected, no audio comes out of the phone speakers. I've tested with 10 games, rebooted the phone, but no joy.

I had the same problem. Check your ringer switch. Game sounds won’t play if your switch is set to silent mode (but obviously will work on earphones, etc.). Set it to regular and you should head sound no problem.

I'm having a similar problem but with my iPad. (13.1, iPad Pro 2nd generation)


I haven't tried it with the ear buds but the built-in speakers work fine with other apps. I've tried two Apple Arcade games so far and neither of them had audio. The video and controls worked okay. I did restart the iPad and there was no change.


Games work fine on my iPhone 8, however, including the audio. I had such a good experience with it on my iPhone that I was excited to try it on my other devices as soon as I could upgrade the OS.
