Pccddd Audio issues when using Skype for business via Apple car play When in a Skype for business meeting via wired Apple car play, the audio will suddenly drop from car play and the car’s sound system, back to speakerphone on my iPhone X. Everything on the car play touch screen and the iPhone display still indicates that the audio is still going through car play, even though it actually isn’t, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to get it back from the speakerphone to the car play. The last time this happened to me with car play, today, after loading the latest Skype for business update this morning before the meeting, I stayed in the meeting and disconnected from the wired car play and tried to use my air pods, the phone indicated that the audio switched to the air pods, but there was no audio at all. I was able to eventually get the audio to the air pods by putting them back into their case, closing the case, and then taking them out again. I hadn’t before had issues with Skype and the air pods when Apple car play wasn’t in the scenario.
