Same issue with my iphone xr after i update to ios 14 something off with my iphone i dont lower my phone brightness bec i am farsighted, when unlock it its very dim check my brightness its full, then my earphone is still perfect no shred at all no tear, suddenly i cant use the answer button, volume button not working but still can use it for listening music or answering calls only tru my phone not the headset itself

Tried that the day of the update. Didn't work.

Ok, I have found out a few things that's going on...

I plug my headphones in my tablet.

I can hear the audio coming through them when the mic is off. Once I turn my mic on, my audio NO LONGER WORKS with my headphones. The audio is being played through the speakers of my iPad.

Everything worked fine before the update.

I was able to use my mic and listen through the audio of my headphones...

After the update, I can no longer use my mic and listen to audio.

I use the iPad to play PUBG, I can not use my mic while listening to the audio and sounds.

Thoughts?

When you are in play mode on Apple TV you’ll get the volume control in the upper right. When I adjusted this while watching a program , it opened up the volume for all programs on my iPhone (Music, streaming programs, etc)

Ok, thought that having a third party headphones set would be an issue. So I went out and purchased Apple's EarPods Headphone "PLUG IN" version... Still, it's not working.

Mic is not disabled when I plug my headphones in. It was before the update, now after updating, mic is NO LONGER DISABLED when plugged in.

Apple, please check into this. It worked before, now it's no longer working.

When speaking on the tablet with the headphones plugged in, the user on the other end hears scuffing sounds on the other end due to the mic issue.

Hi!

So, I had this problem too. Are you using an adaptor? I've managed to source a pair of lighting USB headphones that don't have the adaptor, and they do actually work in my phone.

I took my phone in to my local Apple store, and they couldn't find any problems with the hardware, so I think the new update just doesn't register the software for the adaptor which is why it won't play anything through headphones that require an adaptor.

Obviously I could be wrong, but my adaptor works in other phones, so it's just my phone on iOS14 that it doesn't work for.

I am having the same problem using an adapter. The headphone and mic weren't working for any sound apps or Music. I then opened my Apple TV app and noticed the sound bar was down to 0 there. When I turned that up, it seemed to release the volume for all my other phone sound features.

Hello,

what do u mean the sound bar on the Apple TV app? Can you show me a screenshot of it? I’m currently having problems with my Razer Kraken headphones with my iPad Pro when I use the USB C adaptor.

Same issue in iPhone X. I raised the concern to Apple support and no use. They said first it is my earphone problem and then my iPhone problem.

Let me know if anyone finds how to resolve this issue.

I have the same issue as well. It's with an iPad... not that it should make any difference.

iPad Pro

I was experiencing the same thing, I fixed mine by restarting my phone.

Tried this the day of the update... didn't work.

Huh, I used the apple EarPods and they worked fine. It feels like with this update they somehow changed the hardware using the software.

I had the same issue with the iphone12, I saw one of the comments about restarting the device....fixed the issue for me.

first time I restarted they worked. Now they don’t work again. Is there a fix I am missing because I know it is not my headphones?
