Any luck with iOS9?
Not so much. So bad, I've had to revert to iOS 8.4.1 on my 2 yr. old iPad Air. There's a popping sound that cycles in the background. Under iOS8, I rarely had latency or noise issues with the iConnectAudio4. WIth iOS9, I noticed it the moment I started Cubasis. The latency increases within the span of a 3 minute project. The pop sound is similar to the static heard when turning on or off. Same problem with Garageband. iCA4 doesn't like something with iOS9.
The problem does not occur when using iConnectAudio4 for apps like iTunes or Netflix. In fact, iOS 9 works fine with my older Alesis USB. Once I went back to iOS8.4.1, the noise and sync problems vanished. (Don't even ask about the reversion, it's a MPITA!)
To his credit, RJ has acknowledged the issue and they're working on a fix (I hope so!). Is anyone else using the iCA4 with iPad on iOS9? Have you discovered any workarounds? I've also heard that that iOS 9.1 beta solves certain audio issues, but have no idea what. iOS composers UNITE!

It crashed on launch under iOS 9.0, but this is not an official iConnectivity incompatibility report, because the cable might not have been seated correctly here.
Keep posting here, please.
Meanwhile I'll notify support from this end as well.
0. Default iCA setup, turn up volumes appropriately.
1. Connect external speaker to outputs
2. Connect an external sound source (keyboard, whatever)
3. Open Cubasis or Audioshare or GarageBand in iOS 9
4. Setup the app to monitor input
5. Play the sound source as a monitor - it will "hiccup" every few seconds.
6. Record the sound and playback. Sound still hiccups.
7. Listen to recording without iCA. Recording is fine.
Is the other interface on your iPad or a regular computer? I wonder about buffer settings. Dealing with two computer devices and routing MIDI, etc. is a whole other ballgame.
Playing back any sessions in Loopy HD or Cubasis have clicks and pops. Playing back music on Apple Music app have no clicks and pops.
This affects all our devices with audio (iConnectMIDI2+, iConnectMIDI4+, and iConnectAUDIO4+). It's only with apps that have audio in and out - it doesn't affect playback-only apps.
A workaround is to set the iOS device as the clock source. This is in iConfig -> Audio Info -> Clock Source.
The limitation is, clearly, you can't use two iOS 9 devices in one interface unless one is just playing back (e.g. it should work if you're triggering a synth).

"But my Asd;fijasdf'ajsf brand interface doesn't do this! Come on guys," you say.
Ah, but Asd;fijasdf'ajsf is only supporting one computer device. It's when we connect multiple iOS 9 devices, requiring a common clock, that this iOS bug bites.
