iPad stuck on headphone mode.

Kenm

Hello, I was using stage traxx today and while playing some songs back I noticed I couldn't play them out of the iPad speaker but only through Bluetooth headphones or wired headphones. Now my iPad won't go back to playing on the speaker even when I close the app. I've tried all the different methods online to takeoff headphone mode but they don't work. Can you please put the option on the app to play from the device speaker? I think this could help especially when I rehearse from the iPad itself.

Thank you

As long as a headphone is connected you can not output any sound through the iPad speaker. If you want to use the speaker you need to disconnect your headphone. That's hardwired into iOS and can't be changed by an app.

Hi Peter, I understand that it was disconnected and continued to act like it still had a headphone in it. After a few hours, it went back to normal, and I was able to use my iPad speaker again.

Just now while playing some songs back using my audio interface the app stopped sending audio out and did the same thing with the headphone where it said it was sending it through there but I had my interface plugged in. I'm not sure if it's my iPad or the app or ios. I don't think I can rely on this as a backup for a gig. What do you suggest? thank you

In iOS headphones always have the highest priority when connected. This includes USB audio interfaces. If you use a USB interface you can work around this by enabling "Combine Headphone & USB" in Stage Traxx. Then you can choose your audio interface for a output even if headphones are connected. But I'm not sure if this works with bluetooth headphones.

Ok, great. I will try that. Thank you! Maybe it's probably better to just go audio out of the iPad from the headphone jack into a mixer instead of using a USB audio interface?

If you don't need the extra channels, the headphone socket has a really good audio quality.

Ok great! Also an update on my iPad. I found out that it was not your app but my headphone jack had a hardware issue. It is back to normal now. Thank you!
