Microphone not working with 3.5 lightning to headphone adapter

My headset microphone stopped working a with the 3.5 lightning to headphone jack adapter. I notice this issue about two weeks ago. Is anyone else having this same issue?

Just a fyi, I have two headsets and they both work fine on my PC, and android devices. But not working on the iphone.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

External Headphones Microphone not Working Hi, I am facing an external microphone issue on my iPad Air 4 Wi-Fi 256 GB . Whenever I connect my Logitech (model: H151) through Apple USB C to3.5mm Jack Adapter with my iPad the volume of its microphone input is very low even if I speak to it very near it is barely understandable . The microphone works fine on Skype, Discord or whenever there is a call sign on the top right of the iPad. But the issue remains during In game voice chat or while using the Voice Memos app to record a voice note.I tried contacting Apple support and did everything , even restored the iPad through iTunes but still the issue persists. (Also tried using different headphones ) Please help me in this regard.

Ulanzi J12 mic not working with iPhone 14 Pro Hello, I have recently noticed that the Ulanzi j12 microphone has stopped working with my IPhone 14 Pro. The problem is that when the mic receiver is connected to the Lightning connector and the microphone is paired, the sound is constantly being picked up by the iPhone microphone instead of the Ulanzi. Previously there was no such problem and, in addition, I checked on an older model IPhone 13 and there the external microphone worked fine. So it comes out that it is not a problem with the Ulanzi microphone but with the IPhone. Are there any settings that may have blocked the external microphone from working?

Hello kwongke,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Is this same thing happening to any other headsets connected to that adapter?

If so, it sounds like the adapter may be at fault and you'll want to see about replacing it. You can reach out to Apple for options: Get Support

Take care!
