All iPads My iPad’s Speakers Work When Plugged into Monitor?

[Scarboose]

Okay, so I have an iPad Air, 4th gen, plugged into a basic BenQ monitor. Unless I missed something, I can now use the speakers on my iPad when plugged into it? I frankly don’t believe it. I restarted the iPad, updated it to the latest version and it still works.
Did I miss this in a previous update or is my iPad somehow ‘broken’? I can still switch to the monitor’s speakers or my AirPods or right back to my iPad and it works perfectly. I’m blown away…..

this issue was corrected by Apple with one the iPadOS 17 updates

Nice to have that finally fixed, long overdue.

Just discovered it when I updated to iOS 17, nice feature/fix of Apple. It was pretty annoying before, especially if the monitor didn't have any speakers.
