apple hdmi tv adapter audio not working with ios 16

I have the same problem but fixed it. I up graded to iOS 16.3. Fixed DLL my problems

Update to 16.3

After a phone support session with Apple, a senior engineer said they’ve had hundreds of complaints and they’re working on it. There is no solution right now, but they are working on it and will release an update once they correct it. I’m exhausted from two online chat supports, two phone supports, an appointment with an Apple authorized Best Buy, and an appointment with an Apple Store. I can’t wait until this is corrected.

It is absolutely an iOS16 problem. I have two of the same iPhones. I updated one of them to iOS16.2 just to see if it is buggy. It has broken the one, key way that I use my phone, using the HDMI adapter to watch TV.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBOMax, all of the video apps don’t work in some way. No sound as well as glitchy video.

Thankfully, I have a backup phone that still works fine with iOS15 and the HDMI adapter.

IOS 16.3 fixed mine too. But after Apple sent me a new adapter 😂

I found the same problem, but if you connect your device to an external speaker via Bluetooth you will get sound while picture shows on TV. Hopefully this helps someone out there.

I have the same issue. 3 phones all did the same thing after upgrading to ios16. 2 iPhone 13s and our SE. When we plugged in the adapter to each one a message came and said that the firmware needed to be updated for the accessory. After firmware updated we had picture but no audio. Tried 2 different Apple hdmi adapters and hdmi cables and 2 tvs. Please fix.

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.

Having the same issue. This is obviously an issue with the 16.2 update. I have an iPad running 14.1 and No issues with Apple HDMI adapter. But when I connect my iPhone running 16.2 to the same TV I have no sound. And I used to be able to use iPhone with no problems before update. Please fix this Apple

defintitely iOS update because my ipad running 13 version still works flawlessly with HDMI converter across all apps. But not the iPhones running new update. This has been very frustrating. Another reason not to auto update till they work out the Bugs.

You miss the point where it’s an update issue. I have been streaming Hulu and Prime for 2 years. Since the IOS 16 updates there is video but no audio with my phone and wife’s iPhone 12 Pros

My first adapter stopped working as well, it was gently used a few times. Cord has to be kept perfectly straight

I downloaded Tubi and HDMI adapter works fine. Go figure. And Tubi is free. Woot!

there’s another update I did the update last night and now everything works again

I’m having the same issue and posted the following on a different Apple discussion thread. I hope it’s not true what another poster wrote.

Not sure if you’ve seen the comment below from one of the other poster's but if this is correct, APPLE should advise their consumers. Also, if you have an email address or phone number to someone that handles the APPLE updates, I would be happy to FaceTime them and show them in realtime what happens now when trying to watch specific aps after the most recent Apple update. Specifically, when I try and watch Cable tv through “My Spectrum TV app” I either get a black screen with sound or a picture with no sound that lags with each frame. I borrowed my son’s IPhone 11 and intentionally had him not download the most recent APPLE update and everything works beautifully- imagine that! The fact that multiple people are having this exact problem is not a coincidence. The sad part is I purchased the new IPhone 14 (on back order) hoping that may help, but evidently it won’t based on some of these comments. The comment I referred to below from another poster seems more plausible, but I would really appreciate clarification from Apple directly. If it is true, this would be a huge disappointment and I would need to research going to Android which I honestly don’t want to do. If the folks at Apple read these comments, I implore you to please fix this issue.

”I was on phone with an iPhone rep with and the rep basically told me that the new iOS 16 won’t work with HDMI any more due to content providers clamping down on pirating of movies and other copyrighted things. Apparently using an HDMI cable is how they do it and seems it will no longer be an option for people any more. People will have to now spend money on internet provider or hotspot to cast or mirror movies and tv shows now. That’s gonna get expensive. Hooking my phone into my tv in my big rig was a great way for a long haul trucker like me to watch movies on a bigger screen than my iPhone. No longer. The big corporations have spoken and they want more money under the guise of cracking down on piracy.”
