π No Audio / Very Quiet Audio
Solution:
- Check that your USB adapter is firmly connected (see compatible adapters)
- Increase the Input Gain slider (especially for Sonos adapter)
- Verify your Bluetooth headphones are paired and connected
- Check the IFE system volume (it should be at a reasonable level)
- Try unplugging and reconnecting the USB adapter
π§ Bluetooth Headphones Not Selected
Important: Bluetooth headphone selection is controlled through your iPhone or iPad's system settings, NOT through the IFE Bridge app.
Solution:
- Open your device's Settings β Bluetooth and select your headphones from the list
- If you still have no audio, tap the Advanced menu icon (top right corner of IFE Bridge)
- Check the Audio Output Selection - does it show your Bluetooth headphones?
- If it shows a different device (like iPhone speaker or another audio device), go back to Settings β Bluetooth on your phone or iPad and select your headphones
- Remember: You cannot change audio output from within the IFE Bridge app - it must be done through your device's Bluetooth settings
β οΈ USB Input Not Detected
Solution:
- Unplug and replug the adapter
- Try a different USB-C to 3.5mm adapter
- Restart your device with the adapter connected
- Check that your adapter supports audio input (not all adapters do)
- Try cleaning the USB-C or Lightning port on your device
πΆ Audio Stuttering / Dropouts
Solution:
- Increase buffer size in Advanced Settings (Settings icon β Advanced)
- Ensure your Bluetooth headphones are charged
- Keep your device close to your headphones (within 3 feet)

- Restart both your device and Bluetooth headphones

Solution:
