Soundboard PC With ARC Mobile App

Just downloaded the ARC mobile app to my tablet to test my saved cloud projects. I am getting no audio output. All my projects use the SoundboardPC control to send audio to the robot's bluetooth amp or speaker. Is there a problem with the the SoundboardPC control and the ARC mobile app? With the old software the audio played on my tablet without even connecting to the robot.

Thanks again for your comments. Food for thought. I'll look at the Lenovo thinkpad option.

I've been messing around with ARC mobile on my iPhone 12 and found that when I use the call:

Audio.sayEZBWait("text");

The text audio doesn't come out of the EZB but rather it activates the Siri voice on my phone and Siri says the text instead of my robot. When activating the soundboard v4 the music still comes out of the robot's EZB speaker properly. I tried using EZ-Script instead to see if it was related to JavaScript VS EZ-Script thing but it wasn't. I also tried removing the Wait but that didn't help.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes - Apple does not allow writing the audio to a file or byte array to be piped to the an ezb. The only way text to speech works on an apple device is through their default audio output.
