imported sound clips do not work on mobile, if you mean that.
However: play „path/to/sound.mp3“
does work on mobile.

player objects are also not supported on mobile.
But you can „mobilecreate“ a „native „player“, although I’m not sure if this is only for video?

I think the native player object has one.

„the playloudness“ is also supported on mobile.
