Can Pair bluetooth for calls, but can't listen to podcasts
I have Jabra and Plantronics bluetooth headsets. Both pair fine w/ my iphone 5, but non-call functionality has disappeared. I used to be able to listen to podcasts and audio books through the headset, but in the past year they stopped supporting this functionality. They work fine for talking, voice dialing, and Siri.
I have seen a lot of references resetting all settings after recent iOS updates, specifically for music pairing issues with cars. I tried this (forget the pairing, reset all settings, and pair) but it didn't change anything. The device re-paired without difficulty and calling functionality works without a hitch, but other audio playback does not recognize the device.
Has anyone solved this issue? Is this a typical case of Apple going out of their way to force proprietary product purchases?
