I would like to be able to play movies through the HDMI adapter to a projector, but to have the audio via the headphone socket to a separate audio system. What I find is that as soon as I connect the projector via HDMI, the audio via the headphone sockeet is cut off. Any ideas?
iPad, iOS 6.1.3
Yes, there is a very simple way to get audio out through the iPad headphone jack even while connected to HDMI to play movies on a projector or TV. In fact, I just did it last night for a presentation.
With the HDMI adapter connected to the projector and your audio jack plugged into your iPad headphone jack, go ahead and start the movie. Then simply unplug the headphone jack and plug it back in. The audio is now routed through the headphone jack again.
I found I only had to do this once per session. That is, Iwas able to stop the movie, go to the beginning of my presentation, wait the 20 minutes for the meeting to begin, and when I got to the video clip the audio still played out through the headphone jack to the PA system.
I had built a presentation in a Web oriented training tool and it was running on Safari iOS7 with the latest update. I have not tried it with Keynote yet.

HDMI includes audio, and as such the Adiuo ouput is switched to that when the adapter is detected. What you could do if the projector allows it is to connect the Audio System to the projector and see if the Projector will let you redirect audio to another output.
Thanks Phil - my problem is that I have no audio-out from the projector. What I'd really like to be able to do is persuade the iPad to route the audio to the headphone socket ... but the more I read the more I suspect that isn't possible. :-(
Yeah i don't believe you can change it from within the iPad.
You may be able to get an AVR reciever between the iPad and the projector to split the Audio out to another source.
Thanks ... will try that route!
Nope.
You cant send the audio out through 2 different ports.
perfect and simple solution
works here

Only just spotted your question.
I had this problem.
It depends on the order in which you plug in the video and audio plugs.
I can't remember which way round it is now, but just experiment.
I suspect that, reading Joseph Corl's reply above, you plug in the audio connection after the video.
You don't need to start your movie first.
It will work.
All the best
Yes. Plug the audio connection after the HDMI. Works like a charm with presentations!
Joseph's suggestion worked perfectly for me and an older (2nd gen) iPad. Thanks!
Is there a way to play video through HDMI and have the audio via the headphone socket?
