wired headphones and ipad mini 6

Ipad mini6 Cannot get sound to come out of WIRED headphones using usb c to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter...it works on a newer ipad...so not an issue with the adapter or wired headphones. Wondering if it is a "settings" issue??? Sound only heard through ipad speakers

Headphones Not Working on my Ipad Pro! I have an ipad pro 12.9 6th generation and it doesn’t detect any wired headphones. My headphone has usbc, and it works with my iphone 16 pro max, but not in my ipad pro. Tried all suggested fixes and all not working. Am I overlooking something? It works with wireless headphones though, but I wanted to use the wired headphones for audio song recording.

iPadOS 18.5 audio issue with USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter I bought an iPad (A16) in April and have been using a USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter with it. Following the iPadOS 18.5 update, audio stopped playing through my 3.5 mm earphones. I reset my iPad, but the issue remained. It works fine with the built-in speakers or my Bluetooth headset, but not my earphones.

Wired headphones not working on iPad 9th gen but fine on iPhone I have an Ipad 9th generation running latest ios 18.2.1, that the headphones have no volume, either through the headphone jack or through lightning adapter to the headphones. The same headphones work fine, using the lightning adapter on my iphone SE3 …so, it’s not the headphones. In fact, I got a second headphone set, and they work on the iPhone, but not the ipad. I have AppleCare+ on the ipad until Summer 2026, but am hoping there is a setting that I don’t know about? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

It could be that the charging port needs cleaning. Under a bright light, with a magnifier if you have one, use something non-conductive like a tooth pick to carefully remove any lint or other debris that might have gotten lodged in the port.
