Hey All!


I've got a Mac Mini (Macmini8,1) where I have connected my iPhone XR to my Mac Mini via Lighting to USB. I open up the 'Audio Midi Setup' application compiled by Apple and the application see's my iPhone as an input. So I enable my iPhone as the input and then open up System Prefs to select my USB (or audio 3.5mm jack) as the output. I'm not hearing any audio from the iPhone source. However if I play audio from the macOS Apple Music application, audio plays just fine without issue.

Audio Midi Setup Utility


Here is where things get interesting. I work for Panopto which is a software recording application / service that can record desktop audio and video as well as PowerPoint/Keynote and additional camera inputs. Panopto is actually able to pick up this audio if Panopto is recording. So this tells me that the audio from the iPhone is getting to the 'system audio', however it's not being routed from system to my headphones.


Can the Audio Midi Setup application be used to route audio from iPhone to my headphones plugged into the same Mac Mini?


**Edit**

Audio Midi Setup Macbook Pro

The iPhone is recognizing the connection with MIDI as a Dock Connector. The same behavior is observed with any audio coming from iPhone, whether that be from YouTube, AppleMusic or even just iOS System Notifications. No audio is heard through my headphones.


Any help or guidance would be great! Thank you.
