When playing music from AUX IN port, I am not able to Play/Pause, skip song or come back to previous track directly from the buttons located on top of the unit. Is this normal?

Yes this is normal. The Aux In port only relays music. If the smart device is connected to the Gametime unit via the USB Port, the unit will smart device will only charge. You still cannot control the music from the Gametime panel.

Why does the music streamed from the app cut off if a sound effect is played?

When the app was developed, we were advised that it is an iOS issue to restart the music. We are continuously working on the app and this is an issue we hope to resolve shortly. In the meantime, your options are to: 1. restart the music everytime a sound effect is played. 2. Set the sound effect setting to “Buzzer Only" or have another device connect via Aux in Cable for continous music and use the app for Sound Effects and/or Microphone. We’re working on it, so thanks for your patience.
