Ipad pro 10.5 audio out latency

OK. So they're just analog headphones (nice ones too). I don't understand how they can be working differently than the iPad speakers.

Now, your iPad has 4 speakers, the headphones only stereo. Is there a setting in GB or the iOS settings to do only stereo output? I wonder if GB is generating 4 channels and it has to be downmixed for the headphones. Look around and see what you can find.

If you quit apps you're not using this returns memory back to the iPad for your other active audio apps.

If you turn off Wifi, you can keep iPad from searching for WiFi signals while you are using your audio apps.

Also, turning off Background App Refresh makes sure no background running apps are trying to update their content while still working behind the scenes.

I work with audio apps all the time on my iPad Pro.

The only things you want running on your iPad when doing audio work is JUST your audio apps and mobile external audio interfaces, if any.

You DO NOT want any other unnecessary apps running in the background that aren't audio releated and turning off WiFi, if you don't need it during audio work, eliiminates, yet, another active iOS process.

Hi. Please use Italian if you like; we have Google Translate. But I think your explanation is clear.

You said it's OK using headphones with a mic attached, but not with the high quality phones. I wonder if GB is trying to access the missing mic input. Can you turn the mic input off in GB?

I have the exact same issue. iPad Pro 10.5", wifi model. Brand new. All audio apps affected. Mighty frustrating? Since music is 100% of my focus right now.

Clearly a bug.

My only guess is that it might have to do with the new 120fps software hardware tech. It's like the audio buffer slowly gets filled up and out of sync. Getting unbearable in just minutes. In all music apps. Even Apple's GarageBand.

Apple perhaps hasn't had widespread enough field testing before going live with this feature. I hope Apple can solve it behind the scenes, not forcing all audio app developers to update. And they better solve it right now! This is the perfect musician's iPad. Can't have latency issue there.

Today's update did not solve it.

Yes, it seems the latency is only building up when using the headset port. I tried it just now with the built in speakers, and I didn't notice any latency building up. It seems to function like expected there.

It's something very noticeable in audio and music apps. The latency builds up over time for me. Gradually more and more latency.

I tried it without headphones just now, and it seems fine. Only latency when headphones are connected. I don't have any headphones with mic, so I can't try that.

I was in talks with apple's twitter support channel. They adviced me to first do a factory install, and not recall a backup. And see if it helps. From there they could try to help me pinpoint the bug..

But this machine is brand new and the issue was present when it came with factory install.

Anyhow, that's what they're telling me to do.

I can't do that right now because I have a **** internet connection. I need to get work done while I'm travelling.

Anyhow, Apple, this is serious. I got this mostly for music, and now I can't really use it professionally for music. The "Apple silence" really bugs me at times like this. Perhaps you're just silently working on a bug fix for iOS 11, and you're well aware of the bug, and that's fine. But it'd be great if you told us.

It was the first thing I did. I always report bugs and issues at Apple's feedback.. On a weekly basis.. since there are quirks appearing here and there. But it's a silent one-way communication. Apple's twitter is active and responsive, but doesn't seem to be connected to the developers, or perhaps not even allowed to acknowledge that there are sometimes bugs. I think it's reasonable to assume that Apple has got representatives lurking the forums too, even if they never reveal themselves.
