Audio Call Routing not working

Hi. Need to help my hard of hearing mother.

I can’t get her iPad to route the audio from a FaceTime call through a Bose Soundlink Colour speaker. I can pair them and play music or YouTube videos and the audio goes to the speaker fine. I have been to Accessibility>Touch>Call Audio Routing and set to speaker (and Bluetooth headset). The blue tick appears but the audio still comes through the iPad (which my mother can’t hear).

IpadOS14.2 5th generation Model A1822 no cellular

Any help appreciated. 👌

iPad, iPadOS 14

Oticon hearing devices Just upgraded my oticon hearing devices they are paired and connected to my iPhone 13 using the accessibility section in setting however as soon as I get out of range like in the next room when I come back although they reconnect I no longer have callas or music routed to my hearing drives it is like the audio routing is forgotten every time and seems only way to reroute the call is to re pair every thing ??? Advice to fix ????

Question about Call Audio Routing Hi! I am wondering if it would be possible to make it so that the standard setting for audio routing for calls is set to "speaker" (I know this can be done in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing), but also at the same time make it so that if I connect a bluetooth headset, the iPhone will automatically choose the bluetooth headset as the call audio source? It works if I answer a phone call/make a phone call on speaker, and then connect a bluetooth headset, but if I then hang up the call and make a new one, the iPhone shows me a list of audio sources (while automatically choosing "speaker"). I am asking for a friend who is paralyzed and cannot physically operate the iPhone without help, and is thus dependent on the iPhone automatically answering on speaker, but who would like to be able to make calls if he happens to be wearing a bluetooth headset without asking for help to either take the headset off and power it down, or to operate his iPhone by way of selecting the bluetooth headset as the audio source. Thanks in advance

iPhone 13 pro sound issues during phone calls I see several similar questions out there, but can't seem to find the fix...ever since I got my iPhone 13pro, callers cannot hear me (sometimes not at all or sometimes not clearly) when I am using bluetooth in my car OR on speakerphone. It consistently works fine with AirPods or picking up my phone to take a phone call. Same with FaceTime...AirPods work great, they cannot hear me on speaker. I have checked every setting I can think of, but this has been a problem for almost 2 months now and I'd love to get it fixed. Same results with or without the case on the phone. I saw the different settings in FaceTime for voice isolation, etc and have tried all with no success. Not sure if same settings are available using bluetooth because, well, that's when I'm driving and I'm not looking at my phone.
