[Electronics-talk] iOS 8 Problems

Sun Nov 9 16:43:14 UTC 2014

You can add audio ducking to your roter by selecting it from the list at 
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver -> Roter. As Christine 
says, when you enable this then your music and other audio will be 
quieted a bit so you can better hear VoiceOver. I think this is the 
default in IOS, so this option will let you turn it off if you don't 
like the default audio ducking.
