external mic for iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation)

I have connected a mic to my ipad using an external mixer and a Sabrent USB Type-C External Stereo Sound Adapter. Works great with Garage band but I would also like to use the external mic for video recording, zoom, facetime, etc. Does not seem to work. Any advice?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Using external mic in IOS (IPad pro 2017) When connecting a USB external mic to iPad through USB port (which works perfectly fine for connecting other gadgets, namely an MPK), the ipad keeps on using the internal mic, disregarding the external. The mic is working fine and is perfectly powered while connected to the USB port . Just the iPad does not seem to acknowledge nor establish an audio input to it. Is there a way to sort this issue? I was looking mainly into using the external mic with GarageBand.

Help with using external microphone into iPad Pro I'm helping a friend with an iPad Pro. Two questions about using an external microphone: She would like to plug in an external microphone (TRRS) via a lightning port adapter and use the internal iPad speaker for audio output (during a Zoom conference). First attempt indicated the microphone audio was indeed available to Zoom but the iPad speaker was not working. Is it possible to use external mic audio input at same time as internal speaker audio output? If so, what configuration settings are needed? Is it possible to feed the external microphone audio into two apps simultaneously on the iPad Pro or is there an inherent limitation that would prevent this? Thanks for any help!
