I have a new iPhone 7 running iOS 10.0.2 and I cannot get sounds from the alarm clock to play thru plugged in headphones or bluetooth connected headphones. I know with iOS 9 there was an issue getting sounds thru bluetooth headphones but direct connected worked. Has anyone else come across this same issue and you have were you able to resolve it.
Thank you.
iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2, Alarm clock headphone sounds
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won‘t turn on
- Connect your device to a computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, you can borrow one, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.
- While your device is connected, force it to restart.
- On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons at the same time.
- On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time.
- Don't release when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen.
- When you get the option to restore or update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Just an additional piece of information. I tried to do the same thing on another brand new iPhone 7 that I just received and the same thing happens on it. I really don't want to re-install unless I have no other choice.
Thank you.
Hi Alex_h1,
Ok that was a good suggestion. I now have sound when i use a hardwired connection to my headphones. But when I try to do it with the headphones using bluetooth the only sound comes from the phone. I tried listening to regular music and it comes over the bluetooth but when I do an alarm test it is just the phone. Any additional suggestions?
Braden85,
Thank you for your response, You are correct that the headphones work for everything else. However your suggestion did not resolve the issue.
Ok, thank you all for you help.
alarm clock sounds do not thru headphones
