Problem with using iRig to live stream

Try this. It worked for me:

Important: On iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod), due to the nature of Facebook and Instagram Live and how they capture audio. The below work around can be used with our audio interfaces (such as iRig Stream, iRig Pro DUO I/O, or iRig HD 2) to allow for an uninterrupted audio input source.

1. Download and launch iRig Recorder 3 LEfrom the Apple App Store. This is a free app.
2. Go to the Menu in the upper right hand corner and then go to Settings. Inside here enable the Background audio option.
3. Use the COG WHEEL in the main page to select your input source. Keep in mind this is only an option for multi-input devices, so if you see a greyed out "Mono" option, this is because your device only offers this kind of input signal. 
4. Note: Instagram Live will only allow a mono signal when streaming. Unfortunately, this is not under IK's control. Do note, posting videos will allow stereo signals. 
5. Make sure "Loopback" is not enabled unless intended to be. Read more on Loopback here. Do note, the iRig Stream will allow direct monitoring at all times. In some cases, you might hear a duplicate signal from iRig Recorder 3. In these cases, make sure to mute the headphone level in iRig Recorder 3. To do this, tap the headphone level and then tap the "X" on top of the headphones. 
6. Launch Facebook or Instagram and go to the Live video function. The audio input will now be routed to these apps.

I have the iRig app downloaded. I found that if you open the app and plug your iRig lightning cable into your phone while the app is running and then open the Facebook app to go live, it works. Just keep the iRig app open in the background. That works for me everytime! Good luck!

Tengo la solución.

1- Tienes que descargar la app "iRig Recorder".

2-Inicia la app, ve a la sección de ajustes, activa "Background audio".

3- Dejar la app en segundo plano, ahora si a transmitir desde Facebook Live.

Not sure if you’ve seen my reply elsewhere but try this, it works for me. Download the iRig app. Before you go to Facebook, open the iRig app and then plug in your iRig. Then keep the iRig app running in the background and open Facebook. When you go “live”, your sound should dialled in nicely. I use an iphone 11. Good luck!

i have the same issue after apple update their ios. irig seems not working however there’s another option what did i do now is to use computer plus obs with irig and it’s working btw im using irig pro duo.

Here is what I found on IK Multimedia’s website. It fixed my issue, which was the same as your issue.

I hope this helps.

I done this and it still doesn’t work unless I plug the irig in 5 seconds after going live on Facebook.

Seems to be a lightning port issue. Tried 2 condenser mics with saramonic xlr and irig pro on my iPhone XS and also with 2 different IPad. Same problem. No sound, no phantom power and no control on my device volume.

it Worked fine 1 or 2 month ago.

Yeah the iRig Recorder app worked for my House of Prayer. I think it may be more of an issue with Facebook rather than IK multimedia or Apple though. But now everyone has to remember to start the recording in the iRig Recorder app as well as delete the recording after they are done so over two hours of audio isn't using up space on their phone.

This worked for us foe our livestream. We just have to have this software open at the same time as Facebook.

Hello everyone i try to find a way to solve this issue and i found it just download IRiG recorder apps in your apps store and problem solve enjoy!have a great day all!

I have the same issue with my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 14.2.1), no resolution after hours of talk with apple and ik multimedia regarding this issue. The option of plugging it in after live-stream is engaged is only a temporary fix and eventually will not work. I tried both the iRig Pro and Duo, multiple cables and reboots. As of now, all three of my iRig devises are useless with my current iPhone 12. I guess we wait till Apple and Ik Multimedia talk to each other and work out this operating system error. Very Disappointed.

I updated my iphone 8 and iPad 10.2 7th generation. I currently have the iRig2, which was working prior to the update. I then purchased the iRig 2 HD and still have no sound out out for Facebook or Instagram. I can record fine onto the devices, but cannot broadcast.Ive checked other forums and cannot find any help.

respectfully,

Steve

Thanks for sharing. Downloading the free iRig Recorder 3 LE as prescribed was the answer to my problem. Streaming with audio on Facebook now works as it used to. Much appreciated.

Same Here. I have even gone as far as starting the Live privately where only I can see it. Usually about the 10th time it starts to work. We need a fix for this ASAP.
