Alright, so I'm currently attempting to find a Bluetooth receiver/transmitter, where once I set it as a receiver and connect my iPhone to it, like some Bluetooth speakers, VoiceOver and iOS sounds remain on the phone while audio, like music or podcasts, go through the receiver.
I purchased a TaoTronics Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver/Transmitter but, like before, all audio, including VoiceOver and iOS sounds go through the receiver.
Does anyone know and could recommend a receiver/transmitter that will receive audio, minus VoiceOver and iOS sounds?
Thanks!

Blue Tooth Troubles
Its actually easier than that… You can utilize audio ducking to resolve this. Enable it in accessability/voiceover/audio, then when you want to set voiceover only on phone you can choose it from the rotor and choose external route. That should do what you want.
No Luck!
I do appreciate the suggestion but after trying it, no luck. VoiceOver is still being pushed through the speaker instead of remaining on the phone.
I am aware of that setting in the rotor, but even if I switch it to external route, nothing changes. I even thought of going into the phone's bluetooth settings, selecting the device and selecting the tuype of device, which is a new option that was added recently in iOS 14, and no luck.
I'm guesssing that if speakers are out there that do this, like my $60 Anker speaker, that there must certainly be bluetooth receivers/transmitters that do the same.
The whole purpose of this is to eventually connect an iPhone to my audio mixer, so when I play audio from the phone, it's pushed through the mixer but VoiceOver remains on the phone and doesn't come through the mixer.
I know that there is probably other ways of doing this, but I thought of trying this method first to see if it would work.
iOS 14.5 Fixed My Issue
After updating my iPhone 11 to iOS 14.5, I decided to replug my bluetooth receiver/transmitter to see if anything had changed, and wouldn't you know it, all works the way it should.
Now, when connected, if I use my phone, the sounds from iOS and voiceOver comes through the phone, but if I play audio, like music or podcasts, that audio goes through the receiver.
I'm so glad I don't have to hunt for another bluetooth receiver anymore. YAY!
