iPad default audio output

When connecting iPad Pro 5th gen to TB3 dock, the Realtek USB2.0 Audio driver takes over as the audio output even though there’s no speaker attached to the dock. Control Center shows the Realtek Audio as the output, but doesn’t provide an option to switch back to internal speakers. Anyone know how to switch audio back to internal speakers?

No audio when USB-C hub is connected Hi all, when I connect a usb-c hub to my ipad pro I can no longer use the internal speaker nor the microphone with any app. Is there a hidden option to switch back to the internal mic/speaker? If not this is definitely a major bug and should be taken care of quickly. Only work around for me is to use my airpods but even then I have to switch manually from usb-c to the airpods depending on witch app I use (Webex= yes / Teams = no). Best regards and you all have a great week!

Using internal speakers after usb c is plugged in Why isn’t there a toggle for audio output after a usb c hub is plugged into the usb c port? After the hub is plugged in all audio is routed to the 3.5 jack on the hub, even if there isn’t headphones plugged in. I still want to listen to music on the internal speakers while loading and uploading files to usb or micro disk. This seems like a simple thing to want, yet I’m forced to unplug the device from the iPad Pro to continue to listen to music, then replug in hub to load files. Ridiculous...c’mon apple, this needs to be addressed.
