Hello MPAULSON,

Welcome to the community. Thanks for reaching out! 

So that I can provide you with the most accurate information, can you please inform me with what Bose Headphones you own? If you are unsure please use this link to help you identify your headphones.

Can you also please inform us on what device you are trying to connect your headphones to?

Quiet comfort II headphones connected to IPhone 7.

Hello MPAULSON, 

Thanks for confirming this for us!

If you have your QuietComfort 35 II Headphones connected to your iPhone 7 via Bluetooth or via AUX if you play the podcast or audio book through your device this should be played through your headphones. 

If this is not working please let us know so that we can get further information regarding this. 

Kind regards,

It does not work.  That is why I asked the question.  I can only use them for my music app.

Hi MPAULSON, 

Thanks for posting and updating us on this. 

Can you please explain how you are using the headphones to stream this audio from the device? The audio from these applications should play as long as the device is connected to the headphones. 

When you attempt to stream these applications do you get no audio at all? If not please ensure that the volume is correctly adjusted inside the app and on the device. I would also like to know if you are able to get any audio from the headphones at all? 

I look forward to hearing back from you and looking into this further for you. 

Kind Regards,

My podcast is working but durlingo is not

Why can’t I use the headphones for all the apps which produce sound?

Hi MPAULSON. 

Thanks for getting back to us I am very sorry to hear this. 

I would recommend that you check your microphone and sound settings on Duolingo and make sure your sound effects, speaker, and microphone are "on." I would recommend that you reach out to Duolingo regarding this matter further to ensure all of your settings are correctly placed for the use of external Bluetooth devices. 

Do let us know if you have any further questions. 

Kind regards,
