Facebook Live/iOS 14 does not recognize Rode I-XLR

I, too, am having this problem! Been using RODE Wireless Go mic for Facebook Live with no problems until Nov 10! Hadn’t changed any settings... so frustrating! Mic works with Camera app so it’s not a mic issue.

Please help

I was able to use Streamlabs today without incident on the audio. Seemed to be dropping video frames but could just be internet connection. Happy to have a solution for this at least for the short term. Note that in the configuration I am using (free out of the box) it throwing on a watermark once in awhile so not an ideal solution on that point.

I was having problems as well with my external microphone for Facebook live.

I went into settings, Safari, scroll down to “settings for websites”, click on “microphone” and set to “Allow”.

it seems the updates moved some settings to default...”deny”.

my problem was fixed

Same problem, I suppose temporary solution could be only using other kind of device..not apple till they solve the issue...frustrating, I bought I phone XR on purpose to use it for facebook live show

And NOW it does not work: does not matter whether I connect the mic before or after going live on facebook.

It is getting worse, no doubt about that. But **** this makes live streaming quite frustrating.

Me too same exact issue at same timeframe.

No changes except Facebook updates. Problem occurred prior to IOS14.3 update this week.

Actually once in a while the mic will stay on after hitting go live. The mic will be powered up with green while i'm typing in the comments, soon as I go live, the power to the mic goes out. No green light.

Grrrrr

Hi folks. Just wanted to let you know that I used an app today called Prism Live Studio, which allows you to live stream to various social media platforms at once, including Facebook and YouTube. I did a 3 minute test with me Wireless Rode Mic and it worked great. The app streamed to Facebook for me. It’s probably not ideal as you have a 3rd party app doing the streaming for you (maybe more chance of things crashing.) but until Facebook gets its act together I’ll be using this as it allows us to use our external mic’s. Just thought I would share.

Wow DLY237,

This is encouraging in the short term. Thanks so much for sharing the results of your efforts. I’ll go looking for this app now an run my own trials. With my Shure MV88+ mic hardwired I think my older 6S could manage its resources well enough keep up.

Have a Happy and. Safe New Year.

I'm having the same problem trying to connect a Rode Go wireless mic to my iPhone 12 to record video. I've used various combinations of adapters that work flawlessly with other devices (including a TRRS to lightning adapter and a USB-C to lightning cord) but, no joy with the iPhone. It now causes the Moment app to lock up and crash when using the "start the app first then plug in the mic" fix.

I am having the same problem everyone else is having with the mic not being recognized either before or after starting my livestream to Facebook. I am wondering if anyone has tried an iPad to stream to Facebook? And are you having the same issues?

Yes I am having the same problem. I also tried on my ipad to do a facebook live and again had the same problem. I tried my friends Samsung s9 to make sure it wasnt the Comica microphone and receiver and it worked fine with her samsung. This must be an issue with the IOS update from November because since that time I have not been able to get it to work. I can record a regular video with the iphone video app but not facebook live. I hope they fix this ASAP because we use this every week to do a facebook live with my company!

what about trying facebook from a browser on your phone, instead of the FB app? i haven't tried that yet, but just thought it might work since the mic is recognized by the phone when using the video camera or voice memo app.

Update: after using multiple combinations of cords and adapters, I ordered a 3.5 mm to Lightning headphone adapter directly from the Apple Store. This fixed the problem. My guess is the IOS update disabled a lot of other adapters. Anyone else have this work for them?

IT DOESN'T WORK ON MY IPHONE XR WITH IOS 14 WITH THE FACEBOOK APP - AND I TRIED GOING TO FACEBOOK ON 3 BROWSERS AND IT DIDN'T WORK... I USED MY IPAD WITH THE SAME SET UP (NOT A RHODE MIC) AND USED THE FB APP AND IT WORKED... SO I'M PERPLEXED.
