Attaching external mics (by USB-C) to IP 15 ProMax and not seeing the mics recognized in any of the camera apps. Have looked into permissions on the Apps I am using but still no luck. I have tried multiple mics. Any setting I am not finding? TY!
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12
Hello CaryBenjamin,
If you haven't yet, you may wish to try confirming with the manufacturer of the microphone if they're aware of any compatibility issues when connecting the microphone to an iPhone.
This page can help out as well with providing info on connecting devices via USB-C to the iPhone 15: Charge and connect with the USB-C connector on your iPhone 15 - Apple Support
You may also try testing things out within an app that relies on the microphone in particular, such as the included Voice Memos app, just to see if it still persists there.
If there's a case on the device try temporarily removing it, just to help ensure the cable connector isn't being affected by it.
Cheers.

Hey Eric, thanks for responding. On further research, I read somewhere that you need an adapter that is actually made by Apple.
this worked to a degree. I do have a couple of third-party camera applications that recognize the microphone now once adding the adapter jack that I bought from Apple.
however, I still have a problem with the actual camera app that comes with the iPhone. It still does not recognize the microphone. Unfortunately, it believes that the adapter is a headphone jack.
is there any setting in the camera where you set the audio input? I can’t find one. Super frustrating. or is there a setting ANYWHERE?
thanks!!!
