iPhone 17 Pro Max not detecting lavalier microphone

I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone has stopped recording sound from the lavalier microphone. Although the lavalier microphone works on other devices. My iPhone is recording through its own microphone. When I connect the lavalier microphone, the sound settings also show:automatic — iPhone microphone. My iPhone doesn’t detect the lavalier microphone.

That is not an Apple Product. If you are looking for support get it from here --> Introducing the smartLav lavalier microphone for Apple iOS ...

Support from here --> Manuals - ECM-LV1

What lavalier model is it and are you connecting via Bluetooth or wired? What iOS version is your iPhone using?
