Sharing ipad via cable results in buzzing noise every 30 seconds

I recently upgraded to a 5th generation iPad Pro. When I have my iPad Pro connected to my MacBook Pro and during a Zoom meeting if I select share ipad via cable, there is a loud buzzing noise that happens every 30 seconds that all participants can hear. If I remove the cable and choose share ipad via airplay, there is no buzzing sound.

This behavior is something new with the 5th generation iPad. If I connect my 3rd generation iPad Pro (same configuration, IOS version, and apps as the 5th generation) and choose share iPad via cable, there is no buzzing sound.

I have the lastest IOS versions on my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro and the latest version of Zoom.

Is anyone else having this problem? I have contacted Apple support several times and after trying many things, they say contact Zoom of course. I have an appointment at the Apple genius bar later today to have the look at it.

Hi everyone, until a Mac software update is released to fix this issue, I would suggest one of these two options that some have shared in this thread 🙂

Share the iPad via airplay.
Join the iPad to the meeting using the Zoom iOS client and share directly from the iPad.

The same problem I'm faced with. I tested various iPads.

The buzzing sound problem happens:
iPad Pro 12.9 (5th generation, M1, usb-c)
iPad Air (4th generation, A14 bionic, usb-c)
iPad mini (6th generation, A15 bionic, usb-c)

It does not happen:
iPad Pro 12.9 (2nd generation, A10X, lightening)
iPad (8th generation, A12 bionic, lightening)

iPad Pro 12.9 (4th generation, A12Z, usb-c) <--- !!!
iPad mini (5th generation, A12 bionic, lightening)

I desperately need a solution. HELP!!!

This is nobuaki again.
I'm using MacBookPro (intel, 13inch) and MacBookAir (M1, intel). I recently changed my main laptop from intel pro to M1 air, but the situation did not change....

Same here. Please let us know if you find a solution! Airplay does not work either it says it's unable to connect, so basically I can't connect my ipad to zoom 😫

turn off airplay receiver in 'sharing' in your system preferences. it allowed me to share via airplay

I having the same issue also. Getting buzzing sound when using Zoom and share iPad via cable connection. Here's what I found out with a little troubleshooting.

I'm running an M1 iPad Pro 12.9" iOS 15.1 to an iMac 27" 2019 intel core i5 running Monterey 12.0.1 and I get the buzzing sound periodically. (I'm connected via USB-C cable from computer to iPad.)

I switch out my iPad to my old 3rd generation iPad Pro 12.9" running iOS 15.1 to my iMac 27" 2019 intel core i5 (I'm connected via USB-C cable from computer to iPad.) I let it sit I do not get any buzzing sound at all.

I'm working test out the wifi sharing option to see if the buzzing happens in this mode.

I think it may be a Zoom software or and M1 to Intel issue?

Another Update. Zoom won't allow my M1 iPad Pro to connect screen mirroring via Air Play. I can connect via cable but will get the buzzing sound from M1 iPad to Intel iMac. I'm thinking this a Zoom software issue?

Hi everyone - can I check if you have the same issue with an iMac? I’m not clear if the issue is with the latest iPad Pro or Mack book pro as I’ve just upgraded both. I’ve read in this thread that some have used older iPads successfully. Im curious if anyone has switched to iMac?

thanks.

It seems that the buzzing sound problem does not happen with iPadOS 15.2 and Monterey 12.1 !!!!

YES! I also updated both my iPad and Macbook Pro and NO buzzing! I can not believe how long it took Apple to fix this, especially with how many people are using Zoom these days with tethered iPads. Maybe not enough people with new iPads reported the issue. I reported the issue on the Apple support page probably 50 times 🙂

I don't know if I had the problem after those updates but if I did I got the solution at the Apple store. I was getting a Genius Bar appointment but the host suggested that I first try uninstalling ZOOM on both my iPad and Computer and then reinstalling it. The buzz was GONE!!! I am a happy camper. Now if I could just get my iPhone camera to share in Landscape when connected by a cable I would be REALLY happy.
