Hi Pilar, great article but I am having problems connecting a simple aux 3.5mm plug from laptop to iphone or android. I confirmed sound connection works from laptop to a separate speaker and to headphones.

Unfortunately, when I test with voice memo there is no sound. I am guessing it is a settings issue on either phone. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi! I’ve got a Shure MV88+ and want to play my singing bowls on clubhouse using the mic, how can I do this?

Fyi the bandlab link analog mini does indeed allow you to hear other people in the room. It has 3 connections. You connect to the phone using TRRS, the 1/4 for input sound and 1/8 headphone out for hearing output - exact same as the iRig.

Hi! When we tested it in rooms we couldn’t hear the speakers in the room. But if you can hear the speakers while playing that’s awesome!

Any possibilities to have a video connecting irig 2?

Hi! I’ll try to record a video this month for people. And get you a link.

Do all speakers on stage have to have the iRig2 or only the person playing the music? I have an upcoming musical and trying to find out if all of my actors will need the iRig2 or just the music engineer. Thanks in advance for responding.

Hi! So sorry I’m just seeing this now but the music engineer for sure would benefit from using it. Your singers would only need it if they were singing into a mic connected to an audio interface. If they are singing straight into the iPhone, then they would not need it.

Thank you so much for creating this Pilar!

BEST detailed article of the equipment to use and how to get audio into Clubhouse.

Sharing a link to your article in the Clubhouse Book (2nd edition) and Blog as one of the best resources I've come across.

I know this was mentioned in a post before, but has anyone figured out how to get input audio also fed through to the irig2?

I purchased the irig 2 after having issues connecting an audio mixer straight to clubhouse. - A chap on YouTube mentioned something to do with the fact the irig 2 only accepts a mono input.

(FYI - only the left track comes in when sending stereo)

I sent everything to Aux 1 on mixer and used Aux 1 out into the guitar input of irig2 to get both legs send down the one output.

However, when connecting to clubhouse i can only hear other people which is a pain for monitoring. Means i need 2 headphones at the same time.

Does anyone have any suggestions here?

One solution is to run the headphone output of the irig back as an input (or 2 one for each channel, but it appears to be mono) to your interface, and to set your mix on the interface to output. I have my headphones plugged into my interface (UMC404) as normal, output of the mix to the irig, output of the irig back as an input to the interface, mix dial set to 100% output. I can hear my audio and CH audio in my headset.

Problem with Behringer audio mixer:

Connected to iphone XS via usb to lightening. USB out of mixer.

Connected to PC via mini jack to 1/4 inch jack into line input and mic in another.

Getting good levels out and everything seems to be fine. Hearing audio when entering a room.

When i create a room, I get no music mode button - and when anyone else comes in the phone goes to iphone audio mode.

Any ideas?

Hi! Do you mean that your system is no longer connected and the audio now comes thru your iPhone speaker and mic only?

Expand full comment

Apologies. So audio connected to phone via desk is great. As soon as someone comes on stage it disconnects desk and reverts to iphone loudspeaker. Desk is no longer feeding the audio when this happens.

The iRig iStream only works when no one is on stage, why is that? This is the latest iRig Audio Interface. It works perfectly when everyone is in the audience and it's just the one mod/speaker, but then goes out as soon as you bring someone else up as a speaker, then it switches back to phone mic.

Hi -also I want to add that I have played music at a very low level (25 to 30% up) while a group of us were talking like background music and the room could hear the music as I had my mic on and we all spoke (I could not hear the music only everyone’s voices but they said it was playing and sounded great). This was using the iRig 2.

Hi! I have no info on that product but I do know that most producers had difficulties with iRig products except the ‘iRig 2’. This is the one product that worked for everyone who tried it in clubhouse. You could contact iRig directly or contact the company you purchased your product from to see if the will exchange it for an iRig 2 or another solution altogether. 💜

We are having the same experience with the iRig Stream and the Line6 Sonic Port. Works great solo in CH, as soon as more than one person is on stage it drops out.

Many of the iRig devices with a lightning connection doesn't work with the app.

Yes I have heard this from many many producers. The only one we have found to work for everyone that uses it is the iRig 2 which I highlight in this piece. You can always contact iRig directly or see if you can exchange your product for the iRig 2 or something else entirely. 💜

I am curious to know if you can review the IRig Pro Duo as well. I have heard that this is a strong competitor to the IRig

Hi! I will try it out later this week to see how it sounds. If you need to chat with someone sooner, you can contact Cliff Hackleman at Sweetwater Pro audio for help.

I just purchased the iRig Duo and I had no trouble hooking it up and making sound, but I am having difficulty getting to work in the app specifically

I have to clarify that I use the iRig 2, not the Duo. But you can try the duo in CH to see if anyone uses it.

Hi! So sorry I haven’t had a chance to get together with Amber to see if it works. I do know many producers had difficulties with iRig products except for the iRig 2. I have used it myself and it works very well. You could try to exchange your duo for it or see if maybe someone in CH is currently using it to see how they set it up exactly. If you need someone to listen in CH while you problem solved, lots of DJs and producers are helpful and willing to listen. Feel free to ping me in and I will listen in too to help you out. ⚡️Im listed as Pilar Côté in clubhouse.

I have the iRig pro duo and it is only working when no one is on stage 🤷🏾‍♂️

Many producers and DJs have had compatibility issues with other iRig solutions except for the iRig 2. That one seems to be compatible.

I also have the Irig Duo. It has been hell trying to connect on clubhouse with it. It works fine with everything else except CH. Thank you Pilar for this thread, it is much needed.
