Iphone cannot remember the connected microphone's setting after unplug then re-plug in

The steps listed as below:

  1. When I connect an USB microphone via a Apple USB to Lightning connector
  2. Mute the microphone
  3. unplug the microphone
  4. re-plug in the microphone
  5. The microphone shows unmuted. Iphone cannot remember the microphone's mute setting.


Is it normal? Or should I turn on some settings on Iphone to remember the microphone's setting?


Device : Iphone 12 with ios 16.5

iPhone 12

Hello Shandi7604,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


If you're connecting a third-party mic for use in specific apps, it's normal that the iPhone wouldn't remember the settings specifically, but specific apps might. For that you'd want to check with the app developers to see if there is a setting for that.

Take care!

Hi Bryan_K1,

Thanks for your reply.


If I don't use any application, I just follow the steps as below:

  1. When I connect an USB microphone via a Apple USB to Lightning connector
  2. Mute the microphone /adjust microphone's mic/headphone volumes via knob
  3. unplug the microphone
  4. re-plug in the microphone
  5. The microphone shows unmuted. Iphone cannot remember the microphone's mute/volume setting.


Is it an expected behavior for iphone?

Thanks
