So I bought another AMX. I put a hub and powered it, connected to a lightning port to a iPad or iPhone. The midi seems to work fine and I see the light meters working. But no audio is coming from the channel even though it’s selected within DJay on either the master or the pre-cue. Anyone know what’s going on? Maybe the same issue as Tessel? What knobs do you move around Wyley
Hi @djpandasonic,

Try turning Bluetooth Off on your iPhone/iPad

Also, open Control Center on your iPhone/iPad by swiping down from the top right of your screen, select the Speaker icon and make sure your AMX is selected.
Thanks for the advice @Slak_Jaw. With bluetooth off and selecting AMX, the sound still does not route to the device. What’s odd too is if I select play sound through iPad, that doesn’t work either. And when I attach something through the aux, that does not play audio either even with the setting showing it’s connected to “headphones.” It’s like DJAY just doesn’t play any audio when it’s reading a USB audio device or something. I’m starting to think this is a new issue, because I swear I had my controller and a DVS turntable connected working at some point, I’ll have to dig up my video of it.
Hmm… 
are you experiencing the same issue when using your iPad and iPhone? I wonder if you damaged the iPad when you fried the last AMX.
@djpandasonic, can you please share screenshots of your djay Settings>Audio Devices and Settings>MIDI Devices?
Also, it might be worth considering backing up your iPad (including your djaymedialibrary database file), then uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of djay.
Hello, I am back. I have followed your discussion here.
Sadly, I pretty much gave up on AMX + Djay. I can’t get it to work properly after trying ALL the tips you have given us, multiple times. Also the complete reinstall tips. I appreciate all the help in this thread though.
I have a feeling it might have to do with different hardware/firmware versions of the AMX, which would explain why some people have issues and some not. Even if I can manage to get sound sometimes, it’s hacky and not stable as it should be.
Too bad that Algoriddim does not officially add support for this beast, I know it’s legacy now but it is such an amazing device and together with AFX it’s just unbeatable. I can’t express enough how I love the AMX. But currently I can only really use it as intended with Serato. I want to move to Djay since DVS compatibility came but to do that I think I will have to buy a whole other setup.

You’re welcome @Tessel. Sorry you weren’t able to get it working consistently. Thanks for the additional information.
If it’s any help, AMX works fine with DJay on my MacBook and seems stable. I’m only having issues with it on iPad and iPhone. Last year it worked fine on those devices, but this year I’m having a problem where the audio isn’t playing through the device at all.
try it again. open the app last once everything is connected. max out the volume levels.
Thanks for the advice. As much as I move the dials and disconnect and reconnect, the sound seems to not go out the iPhone when connected to the AMX. All I have is midi control. Interesting though that the DVS is recognized, so the sound seems to travel from the AMX to the iPhone, but I’m not getting it the other way around.
Follow the instructions I posted before but add that you have turn up the master all the way on the amx and turn the volume all the way up on your iOS device.
It’s working for me right now on the new update
Hope that helps. If not I can’t think of anything else.
Edit: Make sure you have hardware mode on too. I found this out when plugging my Rane one after this update. Never happened before lol
Thanks for the help. I’ve tried but still can’t get the audio to work through the AMX. I have the official Apple usb camera adapter, plugged in to lightning power. Does it matter what power source? Everything is working except the audio going through the AMX on both the output and pre-cue. Tried a few usb cables, not sure if that matters too.
It seems like with the update the output to speaker works again, so I can at least use AMX as a midi controller at least.
Did you ever sort this out? Running into the same issue.
I did not. I’ll just refer to my latest post here. I have a feeling there are different models of the AMX since it works for some and not for others. Pretty frustrating but I more or less gave up.
Incredibly unlucky. I was having issues with the left filter knob (kept jumping from one extreme to the other) so I found another one for sale online and picked it up. Really thought this would solve all my problems. Plugged it in - replicated the exact same issue on a different device. Must be a software thing and not a hardware thing.
I picked up the AFX as well - thinking this would be the perfect solution to portable djing but no luck.
I have seen peers with the XONE K2 having great success; but I can’t seem to replicate it with the AKAI gear. Very upset.
I also have a Xone:K2 but I didn’t try it with Djay yet, but it will likely work fine as it’s compatible with everything and anything. Great device. No crossfader though, but I can live without that. The problem (for me) is that it does not have DVS capabilities afaik.
It does not - I have seen and played with it mapped on the DJAY. I was running it via my iPhone which was rad. The AMX is working with the mac version now. Hoping I will be able to make the AMX / AFX work in the next couple days. If not, on ebay it goes.
Good luck! Yes, my AMX+AFX work fine on the Mac as well. I just want to get away from the laptop and keep DVS. I wish it was easier.
Do you have a AFX mapping for DJAY you could share?
That might not be the case. It works for me on my iPhone but for my son it only worked one time on his but he has an older model phone.
I found that if I don’t connect the Apple adapter with the symbols on it facing up relative to the screen then I get no connection with my devices.
