Madrid-Royal Palace audio guide and Armory

Sorry for yet another Royal Palace Question but my searching has not found an answer to these questions, even on their website, or here.

1) Is the Royal Armory included in the general palace ticket?
2) The website says audio guides are available onsite. Are these free/included. I saw one post that referenced an app and a $4 fee.

I have given up on an English guided tour as the website never shows any and the comments here seem to suggest not worth it.
Going in March...
thx -Bill

We visited in Sep this year.
The Royal Armory was included in the general palace ticket.
Audio guides were not free, costing 5 Euro (and we paid online in advance), and worth it. It was not an app we downloaded to our phones, but a separate device we picked up on-site. (Note that there is also the Royal Collections, which is a separate ticket.)
Details, with links, are in our trip report posted on the Rick Steves forum (part 6): https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/trip-reports/trip-report-spain-aug-sep-seville-ronda-granada-cordoba-madrid
