apple hdmi tv adapter audio not working with ios 16

That last call I had was the first time they acknowledged that it was an issue. I had two chats and one other phone support session before that, and they didn’t acknowledge it. If I find out anything else, I’ll post it.

No sound on TV when trying to watch tv (on TV screen) when connected through HDMI adapter (Apple Adapter). Until this is fixed, reverting back to IOS 15 seems logical. But after spending many many hours trying to go back to IOS 15, trying everything I could find on internet, I keep having the dreaded error 3194.

I wish Apple could provide a simple efficient way to go back to ealier ios version that works.

Did anybody succeed going back to ios 15?

Any update on this? Drove myself up a wall trying to get this to work. New I shouldn’t of went to IOS 16 so early always unseen bugs! @apple What is the update? You make us pay premium for your product but yet it doesn’t work! Answers please!!

My work around is opening streaming tv and movie apps on my iPhone, plugging it into my MacBook, plugging in a usbc male to hdmi female adapter into the MacBook then hdmi to the tv. You have to use air play on the iPhone and select the MacBook then it will play video on the tv but it uses the audio on the MacBook. I also use a sound bar that is plugged into the headphones jack. Or you could use a Bluetooth speaker to connect to your MacBook. If you have a laptop you should be able to get an adapter with usba to hdmi with a usbc port on it.

I use my iPad Pro to connect to school computer and project via an HTMI cable. After my update to IOS 16 it is not working. A fellow teacher system works fine with IOS 15.7 . We check my adapter with his iPad Pro and it is not the hardware. PLEASE FIX APPLE

Same! All my other devices that haven't had the update still work, but my phone doesn't. I was planning to have a dinner party tonight and wanted to play music on my phone. I guess I will have to use my old iPad instead.

My Apple watch has gone crazy too since the latest update. It chimes about every 90 seconds while on the charger.

Tried Apple TV + and even that doesn’t work! These lightning to hdmi connectors are not cheap- $50 and worthless. Thinking of switching to Samsung. My husband can mirror from his phone to Samsung smart tv with no plug and no Wi-Fi. How great is that? I never thought I would even consider trading my iPhone!

All,

While onsite to support a client with a Vaddio AV Bridge MatrixMix that wasn't passing audio from their iPad or MacBook I found that using the client's new Apple dongle model # A2119 (EMC3279) would pass HDMI video, but would not allow audio to pass from my laptop using a Mini-DisplayPort/HDMI adapter. I know the thread is about the Apple dongle, but bear with me.

After confirming the configuration of the device I chose to test with my older Apple dongle model #A1621 (EMC2877) and audio passed correctly.

It appears the client's new Apple dongle may have an issue in the updated iOS that locks up the digital audio and the only way to get audio to pass was to reboot the MatrixMix.

Once I locked it up again using the client's Apple dongle I confirmed that no audio would pass from any type of adapter and then cleared the issue using the A1621.

I even used the client's 3rd part USB-C adapter which initially worked correctly, but once the A2119 was used it would prevent audio from passing and wouldn't work until I used the A1621 dongle or rebooted the MatrixMix.

Once the older A1621 dongle was used and audio passed correctly I could revert back to the new A2119 dongle or other dongle and everything worked as it should.

The Apple store doesn't list the model number of the current USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, so I wouldn't count on purchasing it from them unless they can confirm availability to the A1621 dongle.

I hope this helps, but if not, my issue may have been specific to the Vaddio AV Bridge MatrixMix.

It may also be relevant to reboot the TV/Display/Video component after you have the Apple device connected and powered on, but I didn't attempt that while onsite.

Good luck!

I didn’t fix it.

FIXING THE PROBLEM CAN ONLY BE DONE BY APPLE.

HELLO APPLE, ARE YOU THERE?

I recommended that the client abandon use of the new Apple A2119 USB-C/HDMI adapter because it was the root of the problem. All I can assume is the Apple iOS updates have caused an issue based on what I’ve seen in the thread.

My suggestion to the thread is to try the older A1621 adapter to see if it works or will clear the issue of no audio.

Although I have multiple types of adapters for use in testing client’s AV systems, I don’t have a Mac, iPad or iPhone that uses USB-C, so my experience was with the client’s equipment only.

My goal in adding to the thread was to provide some additional input to see if it was an effective solution, that is UNTIL APPLE COULD GET THE JOB DONE CORRECTLY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THEY CREATED FOR THEIR DEDICATED CUSTOMERS.

HELLO APPLE, ARE YOU THERE?

I have been having a similar issue. Amazon prime, won't pass audio through Lightning to HDMI cable, but video works. Yet other apps will play just fine. Very annoying when you can't watch your programs on tv via phone.

Still not working. This is completely unacceptable. We paid money for this product and apple clearly does not care about the consumer. Get it together Apple. Why are you ignoring your customers? FIX IT.

I am also having video out issues with my iPhone (12 mini) since updating to iOS 16.1.2. Use Apple lightening to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable. Does not work with my HP monitor or a Sony TV. Both monitor and TV work fine with the same cable and adapter using my iPad (mini 4) with iOS 15.7.1. I usually use my phone for a camera on a microscope and so I cannot use AirPlay to solve this problem. Used the phone for a camera on the microscope hundreds of times before upgrading to iOS 16.

Help! Having the same problem as everyone else. Since update 16, I either have no picture or no audio when connected to HDMI to stream. Paying for a lot of Apps that I can’t use. When will Apple fix this?

Verizon/Apple told us the same thing, that it was our TV… we’ve completed every update we can find and still won’t work…on 3 different TV’s. So frustrating to waste so much time to find out Apple actually caused the problem

Apple is worried over the legal issues of copyright infringement; more the the issue of denial of use of your paid for property (commonly referred to as petty theft).

I can watch anything on UTUBE but nothing from Tubi, Amazon, apple cloud, HBO and others dedicated to provided copyrighted material. We need to talk to he legal department not support!
