there’s a newer firmware update for the mini. os 1.0.1.

i don’t know if it will help this issue but it’s worth trying.

I am pretty certain that this is a issue of in which order you connect/start things. Please check out the following thread (it’s for the Play+ but it works exactly the same for the Mini):

Play Plus Streaming Audio over USB: Potential Bug?

[iPad & Play+ Setup Demonstration] Using an Apple iPad Pro (11" 3rd Gen. M1) with the latest iPadOS (16.6 as of the making of this video) Audio goes through AUM and is routed back to the Play+ Output from the Play+ then gets recorded to a ZOOM H4n Pro The important bits: Don’t launch AUM Connect the Play+ to the iPad and turn it on THEN you can start AUM (by the way this procedure is the same for the Tracker Mini) I got a bit carried away, sorry , the only thing i prepar…

The essentials:

• Disconnect everything and turn off the Mini
• Do not start any app on the iPad yet (close them if you still have them open)
• Connect the Mini to your iPad
• Turn the Mini on
• Then start your app

This should resolve any distorted sounds you may get. Let us know if this helps

Ah, thanks! I already had tried restarting the iPad, but the step that you don’t launch any apps yet before connecting the tracker is the crucial step, that fixed it for me!
