Bluetooth not connecting to a external speaker .....

First time on this glitch. One app refuses to use the Bluetooth to connect to the speakers already running and stays local within the iPad Pro 9.7 speakers.

Odd to say the least. I did not think that was possible. App is Auria pro. Speaker is Bose Soundlink 3. There is too much lag as well in midi over Bluetooth LE. Unusable in recording. Air play in particular of midi boards. There is so little data. Doesn't make sense.

This app is the only one to present this so far. Perhaps the lag time is too much for the program to even consider playback. I have gone over every single setting in the six pages of setup.

Isn't an app taking control of where audio goes unusual?

thank you

iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.3

I suppose it is....

Since it is localized to the app, I suggest you contact the app developer...perhaps an update is needed.

I called to talk to a Bose Engineer. They've had customers report the same issue. I may have missed something in the setup pages even though I went through them one by one.

I actually think it's great. Auria is one of the most intensely cpu taxing apps in the store. Sometimes there is an overload cpu warning with all else turned off.

I did the obvious work around. Plugged it direct. It defeats the purpose of going back to analog. It may be a deal breaker, because of the price. Pay for perfect, have perfect, as earthly possible.

I did try other apps, game apps when audio was always lagging way behind the action using Apple TV. Not usable. There was no lag with Bluetooth using games. ? I hear lag at 5 ms. People have reported to Bose that tv program audio was "out of sync" as well. I went direct on that, no problem.

I just find it cool that an app can decide to use internal speakers rather than connected Bluetooth. I did not know that was possible. It is a software issue, I think. Thank you.
