iOS8-Beats Headphones Volume Control issue
I have a pair of Beats Solo (1st gen) headphones that I have used for awhile now with my iPhone 5 with no issues. After updating to iOS8, the volume controls no longer work. I can still play/pause and skip to the next song, but I cannot control the volume via the controller on the wire. This occurs in the Music app and in the MapMyFitness app. In some cases the volume automatically goes all the way up which caught me by surprise. I have since put on a volume limit so it doesn't blow my ears out.
Since I was using the iPhone 5 with iOS8, I just assumed that it may be a compatibility issue with my older phone and a new OS. I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and the problem still exists.
I have a friend that upgraded to iOS8 and he is having the same trouble with another brand of headphones.
Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a workaround or someway to fix it? Maybe my headphones are the problem?
Thanks in advance.
iPhone 6, iOS 8
