RE: Netflix now rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad

[Christopher Chaltain]

OK, I’ll be looking forward to IOS 15 when it comes out, but as I said, I do 
see spatial audio when I double tap the volume slider in the control center 
when I’m using my Airpod Pros. BTW, I didn’t see this option with other 
headphones. Like I said, turning it on and off did make a difference with Apple 
TV Plus content. Sounds like I’ll be getting a lot more with IOS 15, but it 
seems like there’s already something there with my install of IOS 14.7.1.

Believe you need to be using the Beta of iOS 15 to get the options in settings. 
You won't be able to enjoy Spatial Audio until you toggle it on for Video, 
Audio or Both. The default is set too off.



I was running iOS 14.7.1 too and experienced what you are currently. Install 
the beta and all Spatial Audio settings will be available. Trust me.

Did you set the options for it under Settings/Accessibility/Airpods? I set 
mines to both video and audio. The default is off. Think you need to set that 
option for the toggle in the Control Panel to disable/enable Spatial Audio.

You need to be using iOS Beta 15 to see the Spatial Audio option in 
Settings/Accessibility/Airpods...towards the bottom of the page.



You can also bring up the iOS Control Panel and triple tap on the Volume slider 
control That will launch a hidden menu in which "Enable Spatial Audio" can be 
toggled on or off from there too. It works on all audio playing on any app 
through your Airpods.



It works great and I plan on using it when listening to my Eagles vs. Pats 
preseason game on my iPhone 8 tonight. Have a SiriusXM subscription. Talk about 
feeling like I'm on the field. Should be fun!

Hi.

I had to turn off hands free, because Voiceover was activating the app to 
listen when it was on.

Just a heads up.

Brian,

Below is a post I made to the idevi...@groups.io list on 8/10/21 providing a 
workaround correction to this issue:

Abbie,

The reduced Voiceover volume in the Alexa app started a few upgrades ago. To 
get Voiceover back, press the Home button on your SE 2020 to jump to your home 
screen and then return to the Alexa app using the App Switcher. Voiceover 
should be working correctly when you return. Then, do the following:

1.  In the bottom right corner of the screen, execute the More button which 
is button 5 of 5 on the bottomline tool bar.
2.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Settings and double tap.
3.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Alexa app settings and double 
tap.
4.  Swipe to Enable Alexa hands free and make sure it is turned on.

After doing this, the next time you open the Alexa app, Voiceover should again 
be working at the correct volume level. At least it did for me after I did this.

Richard get me smart, I’m trying to turn on spacial audio and it just isn’t 
there. Where do I look? Google wants me to go to Bluetooth but nobody here has 
mentioned mucking with the Bluetooth settings. Google says to go pick air pods 
out of Bluetooth and then tap on device info yet nobody here has mentioned 
that. I’d like to have the sound for my Bluetooth speakers and the like and if 
I can turn it on globally that’d be great.

Try a one finger triple tap on volume there in control center and you find a

I like it.
I hope this is true and I'm not accidentlly including beta features but I do

Good news for AirPods Max and AirPods Pro owners who subscribe to Netflix.
 
Netflix now rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad
9to5Mac  /  Chance Miller




Netflix has confirmed that it is now rolling out Spatial Audio support to its 
iPhone and iPad applications. This enables an immersive experience using 
directional audio filters, and it has been a long time coming to Netflix users. 
A Netflix spokesperson has confirmed to 9to5Mac that the company has started 
rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad on iOS 14. The news was 
first reported by users on Reddit as well as in a report from iPhoneSoft,
The toggle for managing Spatial Audio is located in the Control Center. The 
spatial audio feature is exclusive to AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. 
Apple says that spatial audio is an immersive experience using directional 
audio filters to “play sounds virtually anywhere in space, creating an 
immersive sound experience.” This will put surround channels exactly in the 
right spot, even as you turn your head or move your device.
Here’s how Apple describes the spatial audio feature for AirPods Pro and 
AirPods Max users:

Re: Amazon Alexa goes to earpiece

[Alan Lemly]

Kevin,

With hands free turned off, does Voiceover work correctly for you when you 
launch the Alexa app? Amazon has had definite issues with their apps not 
working as expected for Voiceover users. With the recent update to the Amazon 
Music app, I had to go into settings and turn off microphone access for that 
app to get Voiceover working correctly. Apparently, VoiceOver users need to be 
prepared for an ongoing trial and error process where certain Amazon apps are 
concerned.

Hi.

I had to turn off hands free, because Voiceover was activating the app to 
listen when it was on.

Just a heads up.

Brian,

Below is a post I made to the idevi...@groups.io list on 8/10/21 providing a 
workaround correction to this issue:

Abbie,

The reduced Voiceover volume in the Alexa app started a few upgrades ago. To 
get Voiceover back, press the Home button on your SE 2020 to jump to your home 
screen and then return to the Alexa app using the App Switcher. Voiceover 
should be working correctly when you return. Then, do the following:

1.  In the bottom right corner of the screen, execute the More button which 
is button 5 of 5 on the bottomline tool bar.
2.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Settings and double tap.
3.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Alexa app settings and double 
tap.
4.  Swipe to Enable Alexa hands free and make sure it is turned on.

After doing this, the next time you open the Alexa app, Voiceover should again 
be working at the correct volume level. At least it did for me after I did this.

Re: Problem with the Audible App for iOS 13.x:

[Daniel MacDonald]

hello Mark,

What is your hessatation to upgrade to iOS 14? I’ve been using it when the 
first public beta was released. No major problems with it’s current version, 
iOS 14.7.1. Of course, now, I’m beta testing the developer betas of iOS 15, and 
reporting bugs I find. If you want to use Audible, it seems you will have to 
update.

RE: Netflix now rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad

[Sieghard Weitzel]

That was announced back in June and the Apple presentation as well as 
information about the new features is available on Apple's website. Here is a 
direct link:

Or you can of course find dozens of articles on websites like The Verge, 
MacRumors, 9to5Mac and many more, here is just one such article from MacRumors:

OK, I’ll be looking forward to IOS 15 when it comes out, but as I said, I do 
see spatial audio when I double tap the volume slider in the control center 
when I’m using my Airpod Pros. BTW, I didn’t see this option with other 
headphones. Like I said, turning it on and off did make a difference with Apple 
TV Plus content. Sounds like I’ll be getting a lot more with IOS 15, but it 
seems like there’s already something there with my install of IOS 14.7.1.

Believe you need to be using the Beta of iOS 15 to get the options in settings. 
You won't be able to enjoy Spatial Audio until you toggle it on for Video, 
Audio or Both. The default is set too off.



I was running iOS 14.7.1 too and experienced what you are currently. Install 
the beta and all Spatial Audio settings will be available. Trust me.

Did you set the options for it under Settings/Accessibility/Airpods? I set 
mines to both video and audio. The default is off. Think you need to set that 
option for the toggle in the Control Panel to disable/enable Spatial Audio.

yet or just not for the show I was watching. When I brought up Mythic Quest 
from Apple TV Plus, I could definitely hear a difference when I turned on 
spacial audio, but it wasn’t a life changing experience. I’ll keep playing with 
it, and I’m looking forward to hearing more examples of this in Netflix and 
with IOS 15. I’m also glad I found out about bringing this option up from the 
volume slider in the control center, so thanks to Richard and the list for

You need to be using iOS Beta 15 to see the Spatial Audio option in 
Settings/Accessibility/Airpods...towards the bottom of the page.



You can also bring up the iOS Control Panel and triple tap on the Volume slider 
control That will launch a hidden menu in which "Enable Spatial Audio" can be 
toggled on or off from there too. It works on all audio playing on any app 
through your Airpods.



It works great and I plan on using it when listening to my Eagles vs. Pat

The reduced Voiceover volume in the Alexa app started a few upgrades ago. To 
get Voiceover back, press the Home button on your SE 2020 to jump to your 
home screen and then return to the Alexa app using the App Switcher. 
Voiceover should be working correctly when you return. Then, do the 
following:

1.  In the bottom right corner of the screen, execute the More button 
which is button 5 of 5 on the bottomline tool bar.
2.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Settings and double tap.
3.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Alexa app settings and 
double tap.
4.  Swipe to Enable Alexa hands free and make sure it is turned on.

After doing this, the next time you open the Alexa app, Voiceover should 
again be working at the correct volume level. At least it did for me after I 
did this.

RE: Netflix now rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad

[Christopher Chaltain]

The easiest way I’ve found to turn it on is to triple tap the volume slider in 
the control center. I’m running 14.7.1, and if I use my Airpod Pros, I have the 
option to toggle spatial audio on and off.

I have seen a few more articles talking about this Netflix spacial audio thing. 
They say it is rolling out slowly, and the toggle to turn on spacial audio for 
Netflix will be found in the control center they say. I’ve seen that in several 
articles now, and it is apparently not talking about that  menu that richard’s 
been talking about. They just say it’s a toggle on or off, not a menu. So I 
guess if you don’t see it in your control center, it hasn’t rolled out to your 
version of Netflix yet.

Hello,
When I turn off Wi-Fi on my iPhone I've noticed that it turns back on without 
me turning it on, I think I know the reason why, but I'm wondering if anyone 
else has had this issue?  Is there a setting somewhere that says that it'll

With Hands Free off, Voiceover goes to the earpiece. With it on, it works, but 
if it says the wake word, it sometimes will put it into listen mode.

 

Just my experience.

Kevin,

 

With hands free turned off, does Voiceover work correctly for you when you 
launch the Alexa app? Amazon has had definite issues with their apps not 
working as expected for Voiceover users. With the recent update to the Amazon 
Music app, I had to go into settings and turn off microphone access for that 
app to get Voiceover working correctly. Apparently, VoiceOver users need to be 
prepared for an ongoing trial and error process where certain Amazon apps are 
concerned.

If you turn Wi-Fi off from Settings center, it turns back on later, when you're

turn it off there.

Parcel track

[Kay Malmquist]

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has noticed this if you are using Parcel track.  I 
am a long time user of this app, but still don't understand what is 
happening or why.  I copy the tracking number and then go to the app.  When 
I open the App, it says, paste occurred.  There is nothing that shows up on 
the first page, and I expect that.  When I go to the new parcel button and 
open that, there is nothing appearing in the fields.  So, where did the 
paste occur?  So, then I go to the tracking number field and paste the 
number in.  Usually if the number is correct, in the courier field the 
courier name will show up.  Now, nothing shows up.  Of course, if you try to 
save it, it tells you to put a tracking number in and that it is unable to 
save.  Ever since I upgraded to I O S 14, I have not been able to use it. 
Any ideas?  Thanks much.

RE: Parcel track

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Maybe explore the screen, I haven't used this app for a long time, but unless I 
mix this up with another app when there is a tracking number on the clipboard 
then a dialogue appears on the screen where it asks you if you want to create a 
new shipment and you have to say Yes or No and that may be somewhere on the 
screen and perfectly obvious to a sighted person but you may have to hunt 
around for it.

a problem with audio volume during calls

[Dan]

  
  
I am having a problem that I have never
seen before.

  
When on a call if I need to access the
keypad the VO voice volume is extremely low.  I can barely hear
what it is saying when it is speaking the keys on the on screen
keypad. The rest of the speech and audio is just great but not
this.

  
Has anyone else seen this and what did you
do to make the VO voice in this case louder?  I do have audio
ducking off, I checked that first.

  
I can't even turn it up while it is
speaking using the volume up and down buttons.

  
Thanks for any ideas.

Re: a problem with audio volume during calls

[l . d . ethier23]

Hello, 
VoiceOver volume can be access in rotor only if you add it.
But this problem I already had it.
You can try to force restart; hope it's the right way to say in English.

Re: a problem with audio volume during calls

[Anthony Vece]

Just turn voiceover off voiceover on with the side button shortcut and that 
will fix it.
