Notes & Troubleshooting

• All files in a single playlist or call must share the same format, rate, channels, and bit depth.
• Bluetooth may sometimes disconnect; if playback freezes, reconnect your device or restart the Kindle.
• AAC files are not supported — playback attempts will fail.
• Ensure your device is properly paired before launching SOX for smoother performance.
