IPhone 4 audio source

I have an iPhone 4 and paired to a Pioneer 7100 stereo. When it was first paired it worked beautifully. When the phone rang, I unlocked the phone and started talking. A few months ago something changed and now I have to select an audio source. Can I fix this? I've repaied the two devices and no luck.

I had this same problem with my iPhone 4 and my BMW. I deleted the pairing and paired the phone to the car again, and the same issue occurred.
I reset the iPhone by pressing the on/off switch and the home button and that worked! The audio sources showed up and I was able to get audio from the car.

Iphone 4s audio source problems

Hi. When I make a call using my phone (4S) and the audio source is either bluetooth or iphone, the person i'm calling can't hear me. I have to switch to speaker phone instead. Please advise. Thanks

I have a similar issue. I just installed a Jabra Drive and now, the default audio source is the Jabra...even when I am not near the device. When i answer a call, or make an outgoing call on my iPhone, I need to manually switch the audio source to the iPhone.
This was never an issue with my Morotola H17 bluetooth ear piece.

Iphone 4 no longer changing audio source to make call via in car bluetooth.

Hi, I have an Audi A4, my iphone 4 connects to it, you can look at the directory's, calls made, missed etc,
When you want to make a call or receive a call, the audio source from the phone is not put through the car, its only goes through the phone.
Checking the iphone, it used to show a list of audio sources i.e. the car's bluetooth connection, the speaker or the phone.
No it doesn't show the car's bluetooth.
My HTC Desire S has no such issues and voice can be heard through the car's bluetooth, so I assume that the car's bluetooth is not at fault.
Thanks for any help

My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker. I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source. How do I get that screen back?

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

HT204387 My Iphone 4S will not allow me to answer incoming calls on any bluetooth headset without selecting it from the audio source menu.

My Iphone 4S will not allow me to answer incoming calls on any bluetooth headset without selecting it from the audio source menu.The connection works because once I do select the device...I can hear and speak. Any ideas?

Thank you templeton peck, I just rang them, turns out my contract doesn't allow it!

My iphone4 recently stopped working in my car and no longer asks for audio sources. It is paired and turns off the radio when a call occurs but does not utilize the speakers or mic in the car.

My iPhone recently stopped asking for audio source in car and no longer works through the speakers. It pairs with the vehicles just fine, turns off music, but I must use the actual phone to communicate. What happened?

The same problem I have today afternoon.
My car audio system is compatible with iPod USB connector and worked fine for also 6 months.
When connecting my iPod nano 6rd gen via USB to car audio system, iPod displays on its screen a sucessfull connection, and music tracks is successfully displayed on the car audio system. But do not play. Switch forward or backward by playlist (by the buttons on the car audio system) works also, but still there is no start playback.
I tried plugged my iPhone 5 via USB to car audio system - it's works fine.
I plugged iPod to my mac computer - itunes says it's all Ok.
I am confused and do not understand what is happening.
May be restoring to default factory settings iPod....

I use Airport Ex. w/ iTunes. Can I configure with other audio sources?

I use Airport Express to AirPlay music from iTunes on my MacBook, IPhone, and iPad. It works great. I'd like to also AirPlay from other audio sources like Youtube, Pandora, and Soundcould (for example). Can I do this?

Jawbone2: Must choose Jawbone from Audio Source for Incoming Calls

Had the original Jawbone and just got the new Jawbone. Love it except I must choose Audio Source>Jawbone for all incoming calls. All I had to do with the original Jawbone was 'slide to answer'.
I did unpair the headset, turned off Bluetooth and did reset the Jawbone but re-pairing the headset.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I emailed customer support at Jawbone and this is the response I got back from them. So I followed the instructions but I had little hope. I did it 2x. No help.

Hi Ross,
I understand your problem and have a fix for it. I have experienced the same problem. To fix this reset the Jawbone and iPhone and then repair them. Also make sure that if this happens again that you use the headset because the New Jawbone has an idle feature that goes in to effect after 15 minutes.
Sincerely,
Chris

So I had an original Jawbone and didn't have this problem on my iphone. Thank god you guys made a magsafe type connector for the power cord.
Anyways, when I receive a phone call on my
iphone if I use my phone to accept the call, the phone answers and says that it is using the headset. But I can't hear anything. But if I put the phone up to my ear I can hear the conversation. So then I have to go to the audio source on the iphone and change it to headset.
But if I answer it using the jawbone button it works fine. I know the answer is to just use the headphone. But I didn't have to with the old one. What else can be done.
Thanks for the help.

Audio source missing

The audio source option seems to have dissappeared from my Iphone4, can anyone help with how to restore please.

I had the same thing happen to me today. After trying to reconnect and pair my headset whithout any luck, I decided to just power down my iphone 4...wait 30 sec., and power back up. Nothing like rebooting to fix the simple things.
Once phone was back up, headset worked, and audio source was once again visible :-)

IPhone 4S audio problems

There was a lot of complaints in the forums until recently about audio problems in the iPhone 4S. Different people had different problems. Mine is that the person I am calling, or the person that is calling me, cannot hear me, although I can hear them. I never saw any mention of resolution to those problems. Does anyone have any idea what the resolution might be?

I have a similar issue. I just installed a Jabra Drive and now, the default audio source is the Jabra...even when I am not near the device. When i answer a call, or make an outgoing call on my iPhone, I need to manually switch the audio source to the iPhone.

Bluetooth Audio Source- Auto Switching IOS6

I have had the iPhone4s working forever with 2 different Cadillacs (2010 and then a new 2013) only to find once I upgraded to the latest iOS6 on the iPhone 4s the Bluetooth hands free for phone changed its behavior for the worst. Symptoms:
Once the Phone is "paired" it works- someone can call me and I can answer it with the handsfree system in the Escalade. When making outbound calls is when it goes one of two ways listed below.
1. Phone dials and connects however the Audio "source" is the Handset in which case I have to click the Audio Source button on the handdset and select my Car handsfree for the call, which it then switches instantly to the car and everything proceeds fine. (The phone for some reason switches from the overhead audio source to handset by default)
2. Phone dials and connects and works perfectly over the Handsfree system
The phone ALWAYS connects as it should- it ALWAYS works flawlessly on incoming phone calls- its ONLY when I dial a call it goes to either the handset OR the Overhead system. There is NO pattern for the behavoir, it could work perfect for 3 straight calls then the 4 call it prefers the Handset. Or it could go to the handset on the FIRST call.
I am on the phone constantly so this bug is very annoying. When I dial someone I have to wait to see if its going to randomly select the overhead sound system or the handset. This was not a problem in this vehicle when I was running IOS5- it literally started when I upgraded the Iphone 4s to IOS6. I figured (hoped) that when the iPhone5 arrived it would make the problem go away however its the exact same behavoir.
Has anyone else experienced this awesomeness? (I have already deleted and re-paired it a few times to no avail)
Frank

I am having the same issue in my 2013 GMC Acadia Denali.
I believe it was working fine when I bought the car in December of 2012... but an apple update (iOS 6.01) created this problem.
I realize the car could still be at fault (perhaps the iPhone is doing things correctly, but the car is connecting to the bluetooth 4.0 standard incorrectly), but either way I just wish things were working like they used to.
This is a dangerous and annoying bug.

BT audio source selection is goofy

I'm using a Jawbone BT but had the same issue with a Jabra unit, too.
When paired, BT is the default source. When I choose audio source of iPhone or Speaker, it only works for a few seconds and then it switches back to BT.
It always requires three attempts before the selection stays on iPhone. Anybody else having this problem? Have you found a fix?
BTW: This issue has existed for me since v.1 and I'm currently running 1.1.3.

I have not had any issues with my bluetooth headset. I'm using a Plantronics Discovery 655, and it has paired well, and connects everytime I turn it on. The only thing I haven't liked about how it works with the iPhone, is when the phone rings, I just get a series of beeps in the headset. With my Motorola phone, it gave me whatever ringtone I had set on the phone.
I would check the headset, ensure it is fully charged, and try again. If that doesn't work, and you can, try and made an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them check it out. There could be a problem with the phone.
Hope this helps you.

Outgoing audio source

Startign yesterday my iphone started selecting my vehicles BT audio component as the default outbound audio source.... even when the vehicle is 30 miles away and cant possibly connect. This only happens with outgoing calls, incoming I can pick up fine, and when I'm in the vehicle everything is cool. The BT has been configured for about 2 1/2 months now.
Any ideas? My next troubleshooting is to remove and repair the BT.

I am having the same exact issue. its just started last week. I have tried rebooting the phone and still all outgoing calls default to the bluetooth headset that isnt in range and the bluetooth icon doesnt show the bt headset connected but it is listed as option as under audio source. incoming calls it answers as it should using the iphones speaker.

Can I select an external audio source?

I have iMovie09 ver 8.0.6. I'm using a Panasonic video camera (it uses miniDV tapes) connected to my MacBook (white plastic 07) via firewire. When I have the cable from the mixer going into the camera and recording to tape; when I transfer the tape to MacBook, I get the external audio source great!!! However, when I plug the cable directly into the MacBook, it still gives me the audio (BUT) from the built-in mic of the camera. When I open GarabeBand and record the audio, its the external and its great. However, I don't want to have both recording at the same time only to overlay the GarageBand audio onto the video clip. Yes, I've selected the 'in-line' option from 'System Preferences'.
Is there a way that I can select the external source while in iMovie?? Looking at some other negative posts, I don't want to upgrade to iMovie 11 either.

I came across a much older post which I believe solved my issue. I connected everything up first, then booted up the MacBook; then I selected 'built-in audio' from the 'voice-over' option within iMovie. It recognized it right immediately. However, now I'm not sure that the audio is in fact coming from the 'hot' microphones that I'm receiving from the mixer. But that's just troubleshooting.
