@ronald @chhopsky Just got a Satechi USB-C hub for my iPad Pro, which has USB A, C and headphone ports, and this was the device I needed to capture MIDI from my piano AND when using an iOS soft synth app, play back sounds out the headphone jack.

However, the iPad won’t let me select the heaphone jack as audio out, so my piano which can work as audio device and MIDI device steals both when connected. The trick is to not plug in the headphone until AFTER.

@ronald @chhopsky And only then does the audio output hop from the USB A of the piano over to the headphone out. Can’t believe iPad OS doesn’t have an audio output audio selected when a USB audio device is connected, but the hack is just to force it to hop over with a sequentially last headphone cable insertion. *shrug*

Might make this my last iPad and stick to laptops in the future. The “pro” of it isn’t pro enough.

@ronald @chhopsky *audio output selector, I mean. Once the piano is plugged in, all I see is this, and I can’t select headphone-out.

@ellabellafull @chhopsky that’s so strange! And definitely not something I would expect from Apple stuff which usually works very well for audio things in my experience..

@ronald @chhopsky Your ipad has a built-in headphone jack correct?

@ronald @chhopsky Then you're lucky. It will be turned on by default I imagine. When tou plug in a DAC via the lightning port, does the headphone jack still output audio or does it go silent?

@ellabellafull @chhopsky I don’t think I’ve ever tried that. The onboard sound works fine for my needs so far.
