Using USB sound with headphones on iOS 8 issue

I tried this identical setup today, after updating my iPad to iOS 10.2.

It works!

The behavior is just how it was in earlier versions of iOS after the issues are resolved. USB output and headphone (3.5mm) can be used at the same time, with stereo output, and working pre-cue. This was not working in iOS 10.1.x but does now work as expected in 10.2.

Please try your devices and setups again. I’d like to hear from those who were having difficulties about whether or not the 10.2 update has resolved your problems as well.

The Zalman I’m using, shown above in earlier posts, is powered completely by USB on my iPad Air, in iOS 10, using an Apple CCK. I’ve used this setup successfully in iOS 9, but until 10.2 was released, it wasn’t working as it should with pre-cue on the headphone jack.

djay is software that I use weekly to play back a set of tracks for a radio show, and it’s never had reliability issues for me. I do not make play queues on the iPad, preferring to do everything beforehand in iTunes.

I haven’t tried this in some time.

I have since purchased djay Pro, and now have an iPad Pro 12.9.

When I get the opportunity, I’ll test out my iPad Air on iOS 10.3 again and see how it compares with the iPad Pro.

I’m having the same issue with iOS 8.0.2 and my line6 sonic port. It either outputs from the sonic port or the headphones not both. I hope you guys can sort this with apple I sent apple this…

Since the iOS 8 update I can’t seem to get dual stereo outputs to work. Which was a feature within ios7 which enabled you to output stereo sound simultaneously from the earphones and the Lightning port via an external supported soundcard such as the Line6 sonic port.

its primary function was with apps such as Djay and tracktor. Please can you make this work again because alot of us have spent a great deal on these apps and interfaces only to find there not working anymore.

Well the line6 sonic port from me

I tried using different dj apps (not that I wanted to) and a found the same problem… If they even had the split stereo function. To be honist I’m finding ios 8 pretty buggy anyway. The only thing is I have quite a big gig comming up and I really need to be able to cue.

I think they’ve forgotten about us.

Me too!!

Ditto! tho in the back of my mind I knew it wouldn’t changed anything

Yeah the problem with these griffin cables is that they split a stereo signal. So you only get mono from them.

The lead basically uses left channel for cue and the right for master. So you won’t be able to change it back to stereo.

Apparently there is a big update coming in less than a day.

If this doesn’t sort it I’ll scream!!

Yeah well I think ive cocked up this isn’t an update… It’d just an android version I didn’t see the shadow under the djay logo! So I guess we’re back to square one again. :frowning:

I’ve tried most of the dj apps now that include pre-cueing and they don’t work either.
I seriously think that iOS 8 has something missing that Ios 7 had

I’ve also looked at the native instruments forum any they have got the same problem with iOS 8 and their traktor app

I don’t know how to get it but I hope something will change soon. I’m also keeping my eye on the native threads too just incase that leeks an useful tips

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled iOS 8 Dual stereo outputs issues / pre cue.

Can everyone with this issue please boost my apple post to get some kind of response out of somebody. The same thing is happening with all other djing apps. Users of native instruments Traktor are up in arms about it. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/…

I haven’t even bothered yet cos I know what the answer would of been.

It’s just getting silly now. this has been like this since September and were not getting any closer to finding out why this has happened.

Like I’ve said before the same thing has happened to Traktor if you want some consonance read their forum

Still got the problem with my line 6 sonic port… Apparently N.I.'s audio 2 sound card has the same problem but it’s still on the market?? I dunno why everyone’s so hush hush about it
