Hi

I am currently using an iPad Air 3 running iOS 14.3. AirPods Pro's using 3A283.

The issue I get is a very random one.

The issue only happens when using the twitch app, it's fine when using amazon prime, YouTube and other streaming services.

When I am using my iPad and AirPods on twitch, just watching streams, I get this issue where the audio/video will cut out for a second and it will be out of sync. The only way to correct the problem is to close the app and restart the app, it lasts a few mins and happens again.

It's fine when I don't use the AirPods.

I have updated the iPad, restored the iPad, logged out of twitch, deleted it and downloaded and signed in, checked all the settings.

Also forgot the AirPods and reconnected them and checked all the settings and it's all fine.

So I have used the AirPods/iPad for a while and never had the issue until I got the AirPods and Ipad replaced on the same day, this was mid December.

The Ipad screen broke and they replaced it as there was a service program for it and on the same day I got my AirPods replaced as there was issues with rattling and noise cancellation.

So is there anything else I can try? Or is it best to take both back?

I may dig out my AirPods gen 2 and see if it does it with them, then it might tell me if it's the AirPods Pro's or iPad.

Thanks
 
Yes, try and dig out your 2nd generation AirPods. See if they have the same audio issue.
Will do, it seems to be ok today, the audio lag seems to happen when I type something in the stream, could it be an issue with the AirPods connecting to the iPad?
 
So I have tried my gen 2 AirPods and it does it the same on them.

I have tried different streams and it only seems to be on streamer and the lag only happens when I type a message, so as I type the audio will stop for a second and it never catches up, the only way to resolve the issue is to leave the stream or close the app.

Any ideas? Or should I just put up with it?
 
I also tried it on my MacBook Pro and no audio issues.

It seems like the iPad/bluetooth is the issue

Should I return the iPad back to Apple?
