On an iPad Pro can you pull HDMI and Audio out of the USBC port at the same time?

Can you use the USB C port to play HDMI through a dongle AND also pull AUDIO to feed a sound system through the USB C through port on the Apple Dongle?

iPad Pro USB-C and HDMI sound So I regularly connect my iPad to an external USB-C hub that gives me a bunch of stuff including an HDMI output for a monitor. Unfortunately, connecting HDMI sends audio there but I don't want that, I just want the internal speakers to still output. I know I can connect it to an external bluetooth speaker or headphones but I just want the speakers to work. How can I accomplish this?

iPad 10th Generation - HDMI via USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter I am considering a new iPad and it is important that I can play video onto a TV or monitor via HDMI. The USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, in the product specifications, says that HDMI video can be played (at different resolutions and frame rates) from iPad Pro and from iPad Air 4th Generation (and presumably 5th generation). The specifications do not mention iPad 10th Generation although the 10th gen iPad is mentioned under the compatibility list. I know the USB-C port on the 10th gen iPad is only 480Mbps (USB2 speed) compared to 5+Gbps on the Air and Pro models. Can anybody confirm whether or not HDMI video can be played through the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter from the iPad 10th Generation?

Hello,

iPad will only recognize 1 audio interface at a time. What you will want to do is use an HDMI splitter to to split the HDMI signal into 2 feeds then on 1 of the HDMI connections connect an HDMI to mini-phono (headphone port) splitter.
