iPad Pro external mic connectivity

My 2018 iPad Pro recently will not recognize any wired headphone, necessary for audio features on Yokee, a singing karaoke app. Probably occurred after last software update, happened once before years ago and resolved without any intervention on my part. Any hope for another resolution? I can use my wife’s IPad Air, which connects perfectly, but I prefer my own device.

Presumably your wired headphone/microphone is working as expected with other Apps. Assuming that the problem is with a single App, you'll need to seek assistance from the App Developer:

How to contact an app developer


It is highly likely that the App will require update to remain compatible with iPadOS - this being something that only the App Developer can perform.

Since it's just that karaoke app, check Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone and make sure Yokee is switched on. Also try a different wired headset or adapter, as those can fail after an update even when the iPad itself is fine.
