Q: iPhone 6s+ won't take any audio input through Earbuds.
My iPhone 6s + won't take input from any headset microphones: When I plug in the Apple Earbuds that came with the iPhone, I can't take calls or give Siri input. I can hear all sounds and music through the Earbuds, push volume up and down. But the microphone doesn't pic up anything no matter what I try.
I have tested out the Earbuds on my iPad Air and my iPhone 5, and the Earbuds work fine with them and take in sound from the microphone. This way, I know with certainty that the Earbuds are working perfectly.
I have also tried several other non-Apple headsets with ControlTalk features and microphones, from Sennheiser, but still the iPhone 6s + won't take any microphone input.
When the headset is unplugged, I can answer and take calls through the speaker without problems, and sound output is also perfect.
Is this a hardware or software problem?
And yes, I have tried to reset the iPhone 6s +. It did not help.
