I try to play this over my Bluetooth amp for a simple drone and it never works. You can’t disable the microphone either. Its automatically on but not really on it just gives a bunch of feedback without picking up a signal. Still to many bugs with this software. Audio won’t play over headphone jack either. Please fix the mic issue. There is no mic off button so the app screams and feeds back into itself immediately upon launch.
