It depends on where your music comes from and how you connect. With Summoning Stone’s built-in music, music and sound effects can play together however you connect. With Apple Music, they can’t play together over AirPlay, because Apple doesn’t allow it. Bluetooth and screen mirroring both work fine with Apple Music.
Your options
| Music source | AirPlay | Bluetooth | Screen mirroring |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built-in music | Music and effects together | Works | Works, and shows artwork on a TV |
| Apple Music | Not music and effects together | Works | Works |
Best approach
- Use Bluetooth to a speaker for the simplest setup. It works with Apple Music and the built-in music.
- Use the built-in music if you want AirPlay or screen mirroring with effects. See how to show maps on a TV.
- Using Apple Music? Choose Bluetooth or screen mirroring. Only AirPlay is restricted, because Apple doesn’t allow Music and app audio to play together over it.
