Lightening port no longer sends audio since iOS update.

Since the recent update 15 my phone no longer plays audio through the lightening port. My wife’s phone still works so I know the cable is fine. I have two cars with media reading usb slots and now neither works. I also recently replaced the phone due to smashing the old one and it doesn’t work on this one either so I know it’s not the hardware.


any advice? I’ve searched through the menus in settings to try and find how to restart audio over lightening.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

Try Re-Pairing this:

Try unpairing the phone. Then, pair it back. Perform this while in while in park.


If that does not work...
