No sound in Apple TV+ Through HDMI

Hi!


as I do not own an Apple TV, but I want to watch the shows on Apple TV+ on my tv, I purchased a usb-c to Hdmi adapter for my iPad Pro so I can connect it to the tv.


The Hdmi adapter is working perfectly, and it even recognises when I am playing a movie, but unfortunately, when using the Apple tv+ app, there will be no sound coming out either from the tv or from the iPad.


Weirdly, this only happens with the Apple TV+ App, with Apple Music, Netflix, Youtube, Amazon Prime etc.... sound and image come out perfectly from the tv, therefore it can’t be a Hardware Problem.

I also checked if the app was on mute, but it wasn’t....


Has anybody here experienced the same problem? Or, has somebody been able to get sound from the Apple TV+ app through an HDMI?


Thanks a lot! :)

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Unfortunately for you, the Apple TV+ service is not compatible with HDMI adapters.

The Apple TV app should be compatible with HDMI 1.4 adapters for iTunes Store content, I think, if the content is not HDR. You may need to adjust the preferences for SDR.
