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!
