Does anyone know the technical differences between the "locked" down Kiosk mode which takes over the entire screen versus launching the Chrome App separately? We are experiencing some audio link drop issues (for mp3s) with launching the Kiosk mode for a Chrome App application for school assessments. Students are unable to continue with their assessments because the initial audio plays and then drops? The assessment works just fine in a standard ChromeOS browser window, however through the Chrome App it does not. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome!

Sounds like a bug, either way.
You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.
Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.

There are some differences, but none pertain to audio. It should work
just like it does in a regular user session. Please file a bug, as
PhistucK suggested.
