The one I’m talking about here is v1. I have a new-to-me v2 that I haven’t tried out yet, so maybe I’ll mess with that this weekend.
The only time there’s a music note is when there’s sound playing from the ipad. When it’s connected with no sound, it will charge from the ipad, and the On mic will work normally if switched on. If switched off, it just charges, and the battery icon shows up. The mic shuts off and the music note appears when I start playing audio on the ipad.
When the other end of the USB cable isn’t plugged into anything, nothing happens. No icons.
