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

Even on my iPad Pro 2018 and friends iPad it 4 same issue, no usb type c earphones work.

I have the exact same issue. I use an iPad Pro 11 2018. With a Razer Kraken X USB A headphones. I use a USB C to USB A adapter to connect. I have noticed that the headphones are detected correctly when they are first connected, but as soon as I play some audio, it is as if they were disconnected(No headphone Logo in audio control panel). Weirdly though, moving the volume roller on the headphones still changes the volume on the iPad even though the headphone itself plays no sound.

Same problem - USBC to mini headphone jack made by Apple. Apple Ipad Air 4 - ipadOS 14.3 worked two times - then no longer works - headphones work fine in other devices. I returned the dongle once and just got the new one today - still no go.

It doesn’t work. The buttons are working just fine but the sound keeps coming from the iPad speakers. I think this whole situation is something only Apple can fix by supporting audio output through usb-c with a software update.

Just got off the chat with Apple - they pretend to know nothing about this issue - so my guess is they will never fix it. They wanted me to bring my ipad and headphones in to Best Buy to have them check it out - issue is that this is a service I would have to pay for. the IPAD and Dongle were puchased through the online Apple store - so apple should really be supporting this. All the apple stores are closed here due to the shutdown. Way to go Apple!

I am having the same issue on iPad Pro 2020 when trying to use Samsung AKG USB-C headphones. Not sure if they worked before any software update as this is the first time I am trying to use them.

The "fix" supplied by Sean_B1 does not work. Can someone from Apple please look at this issue again before blindly saying it's "solved"?

Weirdly the wired Pixel Buds (USB-C) that came with my Google Pixel 3 work... Why? Must have a different protocol (not sure if correct term) or something?

We already have the headphones - I just want to try an adaptor from someone other than apple. I found one on amazon for samsung - its $3 less than Apple. I ordered it and will post my findings when it comes.

buds live worked, will use these till the usb-c connection issue will be resolved..

btw, while trying to connect earphones, one time for a second the message popped up as if I’m trying to connect usb drive.. crazy..

Dev : ipad air 4

OS : 14.1

Apple will not repair this issue, they make this happen for reason we will buy they airpods... you know same about charger.. they need we buy olso... they need more money... this they marketing strategy for surplus income...

I am not sure why this is marked as solved. I have the same issue on iPadOS 14.4 with iPad Air 4. I also have the Samsung AKG USB-C headphone. I verified that my headphone works with any Samsung phone, on two Windows computers, that all has USB-C connections.

Also, slowly inserting the headphone as someone suggested did not work for me.

@kanigb Make sure it is the headphone jack you are inserting slowly (round) - not the usb-c jack. Also make sure you stop about 1 mm before it is completely inserted.

If that still doesn't work - there might be an actual defect in the dongle - exchange with Apple.

@Originaldiode Thank you for your reply. You are doing more service to this community about this issue than Apple.

I actually have a headphone that has a USB-C connector not the 3.5 mm jack. So I don’t use any dongle.

Is there any solution to this?? Also can’t use any of my USB C headphones on iPad Air 4.. connected, sound comes out trough iPad speakers.. O don’t want more dongles etc.. straight USB C headphones like any other device out there. Apple, whats the solution??

Earphones with aux to type c connector not working on latest iPad Air 4th Gen. Sound coming through speakers only. Airplay fix not working. iPad is not on silent mode, restarting did not help either. Kindly update a fix

Having the same issue, on IOS 14.4.1 still.

iPad Pro 12,9" 2020.

I have to plug in and plug out for multiple time to have sound on my headset. Volume controll works everytime but sound not..

Its such a pain in the ... every time. FIX IT ALREADY the problem is around for months
