Any luck with iOS9?

Not so much. So bad, I've had to revert to iOS 8.4.1 on my 2 yr. old iPad Air. There's a popping sound that cycles in the background. Under iOS8, I rarely had latency or noise issues with the iConnectAudio4. WIth iOS9, I noticed it the moment I started Cubasis. The latency increases within the span of a 3 minute project. The pop sound is similar to the static heard when turning on or off. Same problem with Garageband. iCA4 doesn't like something with iOS9.

The problem does not occur when using iConnectAudio4 for apps like iTunes or Netflix. In fact, iOS 9 works fine with my older Alesis USB. Once I went back to iOS8.4.1, the noise and sync problems vanished. (Don't even ask about the reversion, it's a MPITA!)

To his credit, RJ has acknowledged the issue and they're working on a fix (I hope so!). Is anyone else using the iCA4 with iPad on iOS9? Have you discovered any workarounds? I've also heard that that iOS 9.1 beta solves certain audio issues, but have no idea what. iOS composers UNITE!

  • Surely, I'm not the only one who uses iCA4 with an iPad. There must be hundreds of us, so how's iOS9 working for you?
  • Let me look into this, kanegon. Will get back.
  • Better stay away from ios9 if you use it for audio production. There will be issues. Believe me.
  • n13, could you elaborate? what issues with iOS9 have you experienced or heard about?
  • I gave it a try on my ipad air, but the ica4+ is, at this time not usable for i.e. audiobus use. It gives audio crackles, hearable latency and the latency settings seem to change nothing. itunes and safari playback seems fine. Went back to 8.4.1 and all is fine. You can check and go back (https://ipsw.me).
  • Damn, same deal! Cubasis is fully compatible, but iCA4+ and some of the interapps aren't, so I hear. iOS9 did not pose any issues with my older Alesis CCK interface, but it's hard to go back when you've been spoiled by the ica4+'s charging and dual iOS inputs. I can't replicate my setup with anything else out there, so I hope RJ's crew gets it sorted out. I'm tempted to try the iOS9.1 beta, I hear it adresses some audio issues.
  • I just installed iOS 9.01 on an iPad Air 2, and the latest iConfig beta is working fine.

    It crashed on launch under iOS 9.0, but this is not an official iConnectivity incompatibility report, because the cable might not have been seated correctly here. :)

    Keep posting here, please.
  • Just tried iCA4+ on my spanking new iPhone 6S, using GarageBand. No luck, same popping after-sound. It doesn't seem to be cycling, it happens after each note. The louder the input, the louder the pop. So neither 9.01 nor A9 processor help.
  • kanegon, please file a support ticket. I tried to replicate the issue with Garageband, but it's sounding great on both my iPhone 6 (no S) and iPad Air 2 here. Something else is going on.

    Meanwhile I'll notify support from this end as well.

    I already did; #161988 a week ago. I'm confused, I thought RJ replicated the problem and they were looking at what the noise and latency issue was. You're saying it's working perfectly. It's the same problem as I'm having with iPad Air. A subtle swelling thing ending with a pop. iPad Air and iPhone 5 with 8.4.1 work fine.
