Audio Not working with USBC

I have an ipad Pro that has stopped recognizing audio devices (rodecaster, lav mic) through the usbc port. I have tried it with the apple media adapter also. no luck. It still takes power through it, but no audio. anyone have any fixes?

IPad pro Usb-c not recognizing my usb-c splitter for mic and headphones or just my headphones ( useless ) is this an update problem? My adapter and headphones used to work for garage band , now i cant get anything to work except for the internal speakers and mic witch doesn’t allow for good recording on garage band or private listening thru wired headphones. NO its not a dirty port , not a malfunctioning splitter/ adapter and NO its not the headphones. so what is it? Anyone from apple says “ oh , check this and that and so on” its all the same answer , like they do not get it??? What is really wrong , they should look into the issue because this makes my ipad pro useless in a-lot of ways.

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.

Issues with USB-C port after updating to iPadOS 18.5 USB-C port still charges, transfers data (external HD) and even works with a Ethernet adapter. But, whenever I try to plug any device related to music (headphones and audio interfaces) it doesn’t work. However those devices work well with my friend’s iPad Air 13 M2 (so the problem might not be the cables, dongles and devices). I’m not entirely sure, cause I’m not using my iPad for music everyday of the week, but I think all this happened after updating to iPadOS 18.5. Is it a coincidence (maybe a software issue)? Or my USB-C port got damaged? Is it possible that a damaged USB-C does everything fine except audio? I’ve done everything at this point (cleaning the port, restarting and restoring the thing and nothing helps). My unit is a little bit old (iPad pro 4th gen) but it doesn’t get nearly the usage that my iPhone 12 gets and that dirty and corroded lighting port is able to recognize headphones and audio interfaces without problems.
