Microphone not working when plugged to AUX on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I’m having the same exact issue. I went through all the hassles of buying new cable converters for the new iPhone 15 pro since I have an older car with no Bluetooth. Spotify and music etc sounds fine but if I answer a call the recipient cannot hear me. I can hear them talking but the microphone doesn’t pick up sounds on my end. Can’t really be plugging in and unplugging my phone while driving, and speaker is too quiet when on highways with rough surfaces.

I am having the exactly same issue. I recently upgraded from iphone 12 to iphone 15 pro. my mic works fine with the aux-to-lightning adapter with my iphone 12, however my mic never works with the aux-to-usbc adapter with my iphone 15 pro. did anyone find the solution ?

I plugged in my headphones with the USB-C to 3.5mm dongle to my iPhone, then clicking the button on the headphones play pause button while playing music, the audio and mic works perfectly for calls out of the sudden :)

I have this problem too. I have iphone 15 and I have now tried 3 different aux-usb c cord options and nothing works... I need to respond hands-free to text messages and make phone calls while driving. This is so frustrating! Apple needs to figure this out

Yes, but to be fair, it worked fine using the lightning connector to aux. I have sound only wired ear buds and used phone speaker to talk- worked effortlessly on iPhone 12PM but not is on 15PM w/USB-C to aux dongle?

I have the same problem with my Iphone 15 Pro. I do most of my calling in my car so this Apple 15 Pro was a real waste of my money and time. I want my Iphone 13 Pro back. Did I mention there’s a bunch of bugs and crashes with the 15? Yes, there are. Before you buy a 15, make sure these bugs are fixed….., especially before you trade in.

This is a safety hazard to not be able to use hands free because the Apple 15 Pro was not really ready for sale to public without this feature. This is primarily a phone and it must be able to be used hands free in a car.

Apple gave us a product that was not ready for consumer use. Apple fix this problem or I will never buy another of your phones!! I believed in Apple Iphones from the start in early 2000 when i bought the iphone 3. But you need to stop deleting my comments about how I believe Apple is using the public when their devices are not really ready for the road. How dare you stop one of tge most basic functions that made the phone useful for using when driving a car. This is almost as bad as the software for self driving cars like tesla. Fix this problem or lose me.

leaving a comment to say that this is the same for me - I have had an iPhone 13 that I was able to use with a dongle in my car that allowed for calling and talking. iPhone 15 Pro now, with two different adapters, where I am able to hear music and hear the other person talk, but they are not able to hear me.

Is Apple using us as Bata testers for Iphone 15 Pro?

My problem is using USBC to auxilliary jack (male) connector cable:

1) Plays music audio output very well through my connector and auto sound system.

2) Does NOT play phone audio output AT ALL!!!!!!!!

3) No, there is no Iphone Menu option that pops up to ask me which system I want the sound to come through. Well there is and there is only two options when it does pop up and those options are a) Iphone, or b) speaker, buit not the car system.

3) This system worked excellent Through my older Iphones including my Iphone 13 Pro that I traded in for the lemon phone. I'd really like to have my Iphone 13 Pro back if Iphone 15 Pro is incapable of playing through the aforemention system.

APPLE this is a safety hazard if I can't use my phone hands free and all your older phones worked just fine.

Please tell me how to fix this problem.

I’m having the same issue. I had been using

my previous iPhones in my older vehicle by plugging my phone into the cassette deck adapter using a lightning to 3.5mm dongle. It worked great for playing music and phone call audio through my car speakers. Now, with 15 Plus, I can still get music through this connection (USB-C to 3.5mm), but call audio will no longer go through the car speakers. This makes it a big hassle to try and use speaker phone while driving, since it doesn’t really go loud enough. Hopefully Apple can get a fix for this soon.

I upgraded from iPhone 12 Pro Max to an iPhone 15 pro max and I first got the phone, my purchased ugreen usb-c to aux worked for both phone calls and music just fine.

somewhere along with way (probably an update) it changed and now I cannot even use the same adapter that worked for phone calls at all now. Music plays just fine but the audio from my phone no longer sees it as a headset connected for phone calls.

i believe Apple changed something in a firmware release that caused this issue.

I haven’t found one yet- I don’t want to buy a $30 google adapter to test it, and I tried the fix of going into settings and that didn’t work. Very annoying and considering how to deal with it for buying future iPhones?

Microphone is not working when plugged into AUX on iPhone 15 Pro MaxI’ve used the this type of adapter when I had the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s important to me that I’m able to use my iPhone 15 Pro Max handsfree when driving. Playing music works just fine, but when trying to use the “Hey Siri” feature to make calls or to text, it does not work.

It’s extremely disappointing and frustrating!

Does anyone know of an adapter that works?

Is this an Apple issue that can or will fixed?

I haven’t found a solution yet! Someone posted a fix about resetting some things in SETTINGS but that did nothing. And I refuse to pay $40 for a new dongle if that also doesn’t work. I did send a request to APPLE about the problem, I would advise others to as well!
