I am using APIs to run shortcuts for me. I want an API to play an audio file that is input 100. I haven’t figured out how to make it work.

Am I on the right track here…?

I added an audio input.

I clicked Audio for the input 100 to enable the input audio.

I created a shortcut for input 100, but I’m not sure what the function should be. It can’t be cut or fade, etc because input 100 is audio only and I don’t want to change what’s on the screen.

I thought maybe it should be an overlay. So I enabled overlay 4 for input 100.

If I click the play button for input 100, it plays just fine. I tried every function related to Overlay4 and all of the audio functions. I pointed them to input 100. None of them played the audio in input 100.

Can someone please tell me how to make a shortcut to play an audio input so I give the command to my API?

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I look forward to your replies.
