I searched the forums to see if anyone else has had this issue, but didn't seem to come across a thread about it. (if you know of a thread, point me to it please!).

I have JayBird SB2 headphones. Prior to 4.2.1, I would turn them, they'd automatically connect via bluetooth and I could listen to music. Calls would come in on my headphones as expected. No trouble, they worked great.

Yesterday I wanted to do some voice recording so I connected the SB2s and tried the voice memo feature. It wouldn't record my voice and I just got crackly noise, some silence and other weird noises. I don't know if this feature worked prior to 4.2.1 as I had never tried it. But, it made me decide to test my headphones again to find out what was up.

I disconnected them, unpaired them, repair them and connected again. I went into the iPod app and started playing music. The sound came through my iPhone and NOT the headphones. I had to manually tell it to play the sound through the SB2s. Once the sound was coming through the SB2s, I got my family to call me from the house phone and my phone's speaker rang out loud when prior to 4.2.1 the sound came through the SB2s. I had to answer the call on the phone and then I could manually transfer the sound to the SB2s.

I meant to test on my iPad today but I forgot my headphones at home so can't until this evening.

Any suggestions as to what I can try to get this back to functioning normally and usefully?
