USB-c to digital AV adapter shows picture but no Sound or movie

Hey guys

Ive bought a USB-C to digital AV adapter that connects to hdmi.

So i connected my brand new IPad Air 4th generation, because the apple guy told me it would be compatible, with an HDMI cable to a TV.

It shows the picture or background, but if i go to Spotify or Netflix or any other streaming app, it wont play anything.

If i take the adapter out, the iPad plays perfectly Well.

is there a setting i should be Aware of? Or is it something else? Could you please tell me what to do, so I can mirror my IPad to a tv or monitor and play something on it.


Thanks

iPad Air, iPadOS 14
