A bluetooth headset does not actually use Airplay even though it shows up as a 
device in the Airplay menu. True Airplay devices work even if bluetooth is 
turned off.

I can use my Bluetooth headset just fine, which is reported as using airplay, 
but I tried it with the Apple TV today and ever since IOS 8.0.2, I cannot do 
it.  I did it fine with 8.0.  so yes, I think we have another bug.

I've only used my iPhone 5S with my airport express, but it has worked fine. It 
seems like it took a little longer to see the airport express, but once it did, 
VoiceOver stayed on the device and audio went to the express and into my 
stereo. 

Did the iPod Touch work correctly before iOS 8?

If so, that sounds very much like another bug.

Good luck,

Richard

Hello,

 

I was quite shocked when I just wanted to send an Audible book to my Airport 
Express which is connected to my Sonos system. I was using my wife’s iPod Touch 
and at first Airplay was not even an option in Control Centre. It also appears 
that Audible has finally followed Apple’s lead and taken it out of the app 
which means the only way to activate Airplay is via the Control Centre.

So, I rebooted the iPod Touch Fifth Gen which I recently upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 
and then Airplay was there. I selected Sonos and was shocked to find that 
Voiceover was sent to Sonos along wit hthe stream from Audible.

This was definitely not the case before the iOS 8.0.2 upgrade and if Apple has 
indeed messed this up we are back to where we were when Airplay was first 
introduced which I think was in iOS 5. Just as it was back then the reaction 
time between swiping or touching something and it being announced via Airplay 
is about 4 seconds… absolutely terrible.

I have been trying to play something via Airplay on my iPhone 5S, but can’t 
even get the Airplay option to show up in Control Centre.

 

OK, now I did another reboot of my iPhone and was able to select Airplay and 
with great relief I am finding that Voiceover remains on the device and is 
responsive. However, another reboot of the iPod Touch Fifth Gen still sends 
Voiceover to the Airplay device which really is not good. The Voiceover sounds 
and other click and systems sounds play on the device so I assume this is 
definitely a bug.

I will have to write to [email protected] 
<mailto:[email protected]>  about this.

 

As I said, maybe whoever has an Airplay device can do some checking especially 
if you own multiple devices such as an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard
