Entitlement "com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task" not allowing audio playback for voice controlled interaction

According to https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf , apps with entitlement com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task are allowed to use voice control.

In my current implementation the voice recording working fine but the voice response (AVPlayer with category "playback set") does not output any audio.

I suspect that it is a entitlement limitation because if I quickly tap to play a music while the voice assistant AVPlayer is "playing", then I can hear the response, but without this trick it stays playing but mute.

In parallel I have now requested com.apple.developer.carplay-voice-based-conversation entitlement , but I don't even know if when approved I will be able to use 2 entitlement for the same CarPlay app.

Long story short:

1 - Should an app be able to play audio responses when it's CarPlay entitlement is com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task?

2 - If not, can I combine entitlements com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task and com.apple.developer.carplay-voice-based-conversation?

Update: I was granted the voice conversation entitlement and added to my app together with the driving task entitlement.

it didn’t improve the audio playback, it doesn’t play audio reliably yet, the weird thing is that on my test device (a cheap CarPlay screen bought on Amazon) it plays correctly but not on my car (Nio firefly 2025-2026), but in my car other apps such as ChatGPT play record and play audio normally so I am really lost in here.
