I’m using an iRig HD X with both iPhone and iPad. The device is detected correctly, direct monitoring works, Spotify audio works

I can only hear the direct/thru guitar signal. I cannot hear the real-time processed sound from AmpliTube or GarageBand through headphones or amp output.

I tested:

- 2 different iRig HD X units

- iPhone and iPad

- AmpliTube, GarageBand and Tonebridge

- headphones and guitar amp

- 
- I don’t know what else i can try!!
