Richard, I tend to agree with you.  My iHome iGT372 used to work well with all 
sounds coming through it from my iPhone XR, however since iOS 13 only recorded 
sounds and Siri come through the speaker with all Voice Over sounds continuing 
to come out of the iPhone’s speaker/earbuds.  When I connected the iPhone to my 
Google Home speaker all sounds came out of the Google speaker, which tells me 
that the iPhone is likely functioning correctly and that there’s something 
iHome hasn’t done to keep up with the iOS 13 update.  I’ve checked in with 
iHome Support to see if they have a firmware update for that speaker.  

Thx, Albert

 I'm still not convinced it is an Apple problem.
There has to be something different those other speakers are doing with there 
interaction with the device.
Airplay did that, but I don't have a working Airplay device to test right now.
None of my bluetooth devices do this' everything comes through the bluetooth.
