My Lightning to 30-pin Adapter does not work under iOS 9.

My Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (authentic Apple accessory) does not support audio after upgrading to iOS 9 - the charging is working fine. Wondering if this is this a bug or is the audio output no longer supported under iOS9? The audio output/charging functions were earlier working fine on iOS8 and previous iOS versions (using the same handset iPhone 6). The adapter is an authentic and bought from an authorised Apple reseller.

To clarify, I am using an iPhone 6 and the Dock is a Sony Brand dock (30 pin version) - Sony ICF-CS15iP. Thanks in advance for your inputs.

I am considering upgrading to an IOS 9 device, but have 30 pin peripherals on which I rely.

Do you have any experience, using your Apple 30 Pin to Lightning adapter, using other input/output peripherals?

If you do I am glad to hear about your successes or failures.

If anyone else wants to chime in about the architecture of the lightning port that might enlighten, please do.

(I use a Macally iKey30 keyboard with a CableJive Stubz plus passthrough charging adapter. Hugely efficient text input. Battery stays full.)

I've got same problem with iphone5.

Maybe, I think an audio output is not working on iOS9.

Who do you know to complain to Apple about this problem?

Is this adapter certificated by Apple?

Having done some more testing, it does sort of work.

If I plug a proper 30-pin device in to the dock first and start using that, I can then switch to using the adapter and a lightning device and get audio out of it properly. So it looks like a device handshaking problem rather than a problem with the audio output itself.
