This is something of a strange one and something that’s been bugging me for a while.
When I connect bluetooth headphones to my Mac, regular system audio output switches to them (music playback, sound effects, etc.), but not VoiceOver.
To get VoiceOver output through the headphones I typically open the VoiceOver Utility. Nothing else. I don’t need to change anything. Just opening the VO Utility is all that it takes.
This behavior has been seen with a number of different headphones.

I received an Aquatunes 5712 Bluetooth speaker for Christmas. It sounds really great and its a fantastic little speaker but I do have a question. Why does the speaker sound fine while playing content from ABC, CBS and YouTube etc.. but yet when I try to listen to VO, words are kind of chopped off. For example, I hear Eye gps instead of Seeing Eye Gps when I am touching the screen. Is there Anything that anyone can suggest? It would really be appreciated.
Thanks, Jason

I am using a LG HBS850 Bluetooth headset with iphone 7 running iOS 11. When using voiceover or even if I have sound turned off I hear a beeping every time I touch the screen when I flick or tap or even slide my finger it beeps it does not make these noises when voiceover is turned off. Cannot figure out how to make it stop. Does anybody have any ideas?

Hello,
I am going to buy a MacBook of some kind primarily so I can write music using apps such as protools or garage band. I am unsure however of which one I should buy. I'm don't really care about the size of the laptop as long as it works good with writing music. Any help would be appreciated.

The weirdest thing is happening. My Voiceover or other sounds/music will not play through my iPhone ^S speaker. However, it does work fine with bluetooth headphones and a USB speaker doc. The sounds and voice over speech also plays through the built-in speaker just fine if I am adjusting ringtones, etc, so I know the speaker is still working. But when I get out of say the ringtone selection screen and go back to the home page, nothing speaks.
Oh, I am using iOS V13.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? It's driving me crazy!!!

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe :-) I have an existing hi-fi system that I would like to add some kind of Internet streaming device to. I will be streaming from iOS and also my Mac.
The two options that I've come across our Cambridge audio products with the stream Magic app or blue sound with the blue OS app. Which one is more accessible across iOS and Mac blue OS or stream Magic? Does anybody have any experience with these please? Thanks very much for your help everyone looking forward to your responses :-)

Hello Everyone,
We're quickly getting tired of paying around $70 for Bluetooth headsets that stop working after two to three months of use. The most recent models we have tried have been the LG Tone Pro 870 and 1100. In both cases, and in several before these, it seems the build quality is poor.
We are llooking for recommendations of good Bluetooth headsets you have all used, regardless of price, that have solid build quality, even if they do not necessarily have the richest feature sets.
All advice is appreciated and welcome at this point.
Thanks,

Does anyone know if Apple makes an external keyboard for low vision users? I have an Apple keyboard that I use with my Mac, but I can barely distinguish the keys from the keyboard surface, and I can't read the individual key names at all.
Another approach would be to find high-contrast key caps to fit over the keys.
If Apple doesn't make high-contrast keyboards or key caps, can anyone recommend another vendor?
Thanks,
Kathy

I am looking for a holster that will allow me to have access to my phone when I do not have a shirt pocket to place it in. I would like to be able to use the GPS aps without putting it in my pocket.
My wife is looking for something to allow her to use her phone with one hand. She only has the use of her right hand, and she is visually impaired, so she uses voice over.
Something that would keep the phone inplace while she is using it, would be helpful.

Hi all I have found over the last few days that my settings for my home button have gotten all messed up. I got my home button said one click home to clicks app switcher three clicks voiceover is off. Now for some reason they are all messed up for the home button does not even react. Is anybody else finding this happening after the 7.1 update. I have gotten online to do some research and I guess this is intermittent behavior but I have not found the solution any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
John PS sorry to be lazy I'm using dictation so forgive the sentences and grammar :-)

Hi, a few questions about the homepod minni. Does the homepod have any physical buttons like for volume control?
Post Date:
I have noticed that with the latest version of iOS, the home app, and homepod that I can no longer access all of the homepod controls. I can access the settings and such, where you can name the device, turn Hey Siri on and off, etc, but I cannot access the play/pause, skip tracks, and disappointingly, the new alarm settings. Am I the only one experiencing this? Or, is there some gesture I'm not aware of that can bget me to this part of the controls so they are usable?

I received my HomePod Mini today. It is super awesome and sounds great, for the 5 minutes I had it working, then I broke it.
Basically, I went to the Home app, noticed I had 2 difference homes. The HomePod Mini was setup with a home account called "My Home 1" and my other HomePod Big was setup on a different home account called "My Home."
So I thought, I only need one home account, because I only have 1 home. I quickly deleted the "My Home 1" home account in my Home app and I am now sorry I did that.

So, do you know if I could do the following three things?
1. If I am subscribed to some podcast w with Apple podcast in my Iphone, could I sliten them with the HOmepot as well?.
2. Could I lsiten radios arround the world and to be able to create a favourite radios list?.
