Usb-c Headphone is not working in iPad Pro 2018 after iPadOS 14 update

Same here. I use the AKG that came with Note 20 Ultra and my iPad won't detect it but I tried with the Type-C earphones that came with Huawei Mate 30 Pro, it works.

There is definitely no support for USB-C audio in iPadOS 14. I ran into the same issue with my Mac the other day, but there I could change the output to the headphones. I'm afraid iPadOS is too light of an operating system to let us do that. Considering that android has support for this, this is quite the bummer. What's the point of deleting the headphone jack if USB-C audio is not supported ?

Originaldiode you're awesome, thanks for the trick, now I can use my iPad Pro with tethered headphones, it's not difficult, just insert slowly the jack into the adaptor keeping an eye on the Control Centre until the audio control switches from the loudspeaker to the headphones symbol.

But really Apple, mooore quality control and a fix ASAP !!!

Hi,

came across this discussion as I have the same issue. AKG earphones USB-C from my Samsung Note 20 Ultra(absolutely new, working perfectly ) and my new iPad Pro 2020 refuses to “see” them. Tried the way someone advised here - to insert usb-c jack very slowly, and that works (thank you the person who suggested).. but works 2 times out of 10.

I’m Very disappointed with the aproach Apple has towards this issue turning blind eye on it. It is a quite expensive device to have issues like this.. make me feel this is done on purpose to force us to get their products, earphones,buds,dongles.

p.s. will check tomorrow Bluetooth connection with my galaxy buds live.. will be a surprise if it will work..

Hi I to have this issue, AKG type c port that came

with S20, they work on my pixel / samsung devices but not on the apple

ipad air 4, the ipad detects the volume control input, can activate

voice control but the sound continues to output via the ipad speakers.

So annoying, as I have a perfect set that I would like to use with it

rather than to retire it and have to headset for the ipad alone.

I

am on b ios 14.5 or the latest since this post, i have also tried it

on another ipad air 4 current ios 14.X and same on that.

Apple must be being choosey as the AKG are from Samsung.......as the pixel usb c headphones work perfectly.

Both I believe are external /built in DAC, pixel type c and akg type c.

Not sure why this post is marked as solved. Can we get this as unsolved and how can we get this escalated?

An official response from apple would be nice.

Yes, its an Apple Music software issue. The Apple Store told me to purchase a new one because I had no warranty and it just happened to me again yesterday with the new M1 iPad Pro 2021. Not a happy customer!!!

I don’t think it’s an Apple Music issue as no audio comes through the USB C - podcasts, audio apps, etc all fail to send audio. Pretty sure it is an iPadOS issue, still. I have the latest updates and still doesn’t work.

If you read my post above. I solved my static issue. The problem is the Apple usb c dongle. I posted a link to a good one that works. Zero static even after running for 6 hours. There’s obviously an issue with the way the Apple dongle communicates to the new iPad.

I’ve been having the same issue. No, restarting does not work.

Was there any update on this? Been running into the same issue

I have the same issue on my ipad air 4th gen with latest ios version.

I am also facing the same issue. Trying to use C type AKG earphone but no success for iPad Air 4 generation. Can some one help in this.

I have same a problem, i dont know what the problem is about update software or not, its very disturbing

At least they are working on it. It’s been happening since 14.5, the AirTag release

I posted the solution if you look at the posts above. Apple need to fix their software. In the meantime you can use a better quality headphone dongle that does 24bit/96 lossless.
