Lightning Digital AV Adapter issue after iOS 16 upgrade

I've had issues as well. iPhone 12 Pro Max. After updating to iOS16, HBO Max would not play through the Lightning Digital AV Adapter. I finally got it to do a firmware update and it worked fine. A couple days later I tried watching some content on Amazon Prime and it skips while playing through the adapter. Plays fine on the phone. I have not found any kind of solution.

After updating my iPhone 12 Pro Max to IOS 16, I no longer have sound with DIRECTV, Discovery+, and Peacock while streaming with my authentic Apple Lightning to Digital AV Adapter. It’s so frustrating and even more frustrating that apple isn’t acknowledging that this is a bug. I would restore my phone to my last backup before I updated, but I’ll lose wedding pictures and videos that I took after.

Yes Apple really needs to fix this. I rely on my HDMI Lightning adapter to watch all of our favorite show and movie with my family. Disney +, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, and my Paramount + have no sound and the picture glitches. Luckily I haven’t updated my iPad yet and I caught onto the problem before I did.

Hi RedRowe. I did try a HDMI Splitter on multiple Samsung and Vizio TVs, including one with a HDMI Switch already installed to up the number of HDMI ports. No luck. Still not working. Currently on iOS build 16.2. The Splitter wasn't very expensive, but I did return it to Amazon when it wasn't successful.

New IPhone 14Pro with IOS16 and unable to display Prime/Netflix on tv via the Apple Digital Adapter/HDMI on our tv’s. Adapter and HDMI worked fine before I switched phones and got the new IOS! APPLE needs to fix this setting in the next release of the operating system, or create a work around, please!

Has anyone tried an HDMI Splitter like this:

iPhone streaming Prime or Paramount+ (or any app. currently not working) to Lightning to A/V Adaptor to HDMI Splitter Box to TV ?

What about Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video? Have you tried those with the 16.3 update?

So the Prime app update apparently did nothing. Still no volume and picture skipping with Prime and always have a lot of trouble getting HBO to work without trying multiple times. Ridiculous. Not sure what else to do...

I have the same issue after the IOS 16 “upgrade”. Wife didn’t and it still works fine. Senior support wants me to wipe the phone to factory defaults and lose everything instead of admitting it’s a bug. It’s just a way to get people to go away. If it is an iOS 16 issue how is wiping out the phone supposed to fix it?

Yeah I’m having this same issue still today, even after the most recent iOS 16.0.3 update, as is my girlfriend.

The most frustrating thing is they won’t even acknowledge it in any of the multiple posts being made here about it.

Is there one success story anywhere that tells us what to do or when it will be fixed? The internet is full of requests for assistance but I can’t see a viable response that offered a solution or workaround. I am remote w/o internet and only stream via cell data. Am I missing something? I know Apple TV isn’t going to work without wifi…I don’t understand how they can still sell the AV adapter when it is a known fail? Is that even legal?

On the phone with apple support as I’m typing this. They have no clue how to fix this. It’s annoying I updated mine but my fiancé didn’t and my kids didn’t mine is the only one not working. This is beyond frustrating don’t update your phone.

Hi kempnada, If you read the discussions you will see it has nothing to do with video issues. The issue is the sound no longer working after IOS 16. I haven’t heard of anyone having an issue with a locked phone, I know I never have. Also the available options don’t have that option of unlocking when using USB, it now says accessories, which isn’t the issue anyway as you are not using USB when using the DV adapter from an iPhone. This forum is for loss of sound after IOS16 which Apple still refuses to acknowledge. They won’t respond.

Yup, since probably about the day after the upgrade for me. I wish they would let us know that yes we acknowledge the issue, but we aren’t going to do anything about it to support that technology anymore and pull the adapter from their product line. At least then we can look at alternative Apple platforms. This shows they don’t really give a $&@$ about us.

Hmm, I be derned…. Oh well, I only was using my A/V adapter for when I stay in a hotel and want to watch something from one of my apps but since I figured the issue with that was permanent, I just bought another Apple TV to go in my bedroom so that I could take the google chromecast that was in there with me when I travel. Works better than that adapter anyways.
