YOUR QUESTION:

  1. when using the iPhone App: Can I use FLX-4 as audio playback device? And if yes, then how? It detects only my phone, which is not good because I cannot use the headphone jack.

Hi @marsbee, welcome to the Community! You can definitely use the FLX4 to output audio when using djay on iOS.

  1. Can you please clarify what you want to achieve here?
  2. Are you connecting your iPhone to the FLX4 wirelessly via Bluetooth or via cable?
  3. Perhaps a short video or some photos of how you have everything connected would be a helpful starting point? Thanks!

Hi, I know I can connect the FLX4 via cable or bluetooth and use it as a controlling device (like for adjusting volume of the decks or turning filter knobs), but I cannot use it as an audio output device yet on the iphone. The iphone will always use my iphone as an audio output device, no matter what I do. The problem is on the iPhone I cannot use a headphone.

Do you know how I can use the FLX 4 as an audio output, like when using it together with a computer?

Hi @marsbee, thanks for the additional info. Sending audio via Bluetooth to the FLX4 is not supported. You must use a wired connection for audio output on the FLX4.

Hi. And what do I do if I connect the iPhone via Lightning cable to the FLX-4, but still audio is being played back from the iPhone only?

Hi @marsbee, since you have a Lightning port iPhone, I first recommend that you try connecting with a different Certified Genuine Apple Lightning to USB-C cable. Please make sure that the FLX4 is also connected to power with the other USB-C socket (9V, 3A or 27W).

If that doesn’t work please try using a Genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, and a high quality USB-A to C cable.

Hello! It’s been a week since my last reply. I’m going to consider this topic completed for now so I can focus on others. However, please feel free to respond and we can definitely revisit this. Thanks!
