Garage Band (and other apps) Input Monitoring in iOS 16 does NOT work.

Since updating to iOS 16 Garage Band (and Tonebridge, and Amplitude) no longer has the option to monitor input. I can no longer hear what I play in real time. I can still record input and tune a connected guitar, but the option to turn on monitoring is no longer available.

I'm using both an Apogee Jam (original) and a Jam 96k. Same issue on both. Firmware is up to date.

Is anyone able to activate Garage Band's Input Monitoring using iOS 16? If so, what guitar interface equipment are you using?

Eureka!

I just installed the iOS 16.1 update on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and the monitoring feature is back!

Hope it works for others.

Same here on IPAD 9 and IOS 16.1.1. AmpKit does not recognize Jam (original).

On iphone 11 ios 15.7 Button to restore purchase on AmpKit is absent. I had to tap blindly the bottom of the screen at a non showing restore my purchases to get all my gear. I blame both Apple and Agile for not supporting their stuff adequatly. I purchased the IPAD to replace an old Iphone 6S that work fine except that the battery was going dead. Bluetooth earphones are not supported by AmpKit and Apple decided to do away with the headphone jack. Don't get me started on THAT extorsion from Apple in the name of design and size .... Like car makers saying they'll do away with the radio to save space on the dash for a bigger screen ....


To bad Android won't fix their latency issues ... I would have switched long ago ...


I will attempt to update to 16.2 on the IPAD but I'm not holding my breath ...

Glad you got it working Stevie_hendrix. Interesting that Apogee Jam+ works, but Line6 & Behringer do not…. I’m holding out for iOS patch for now, and will ask L6 & B for any advice.

The cynic in me says Apple is putting downward pressure on its GarageBand community. The optimist in me says they simply flubbed execution on the iOS upgrade. Time will tell…
