Huawei Pie/10:
- device Settings / Battery / App Launch / Poweramp - UNCHECK. Ensure Run in background is checked in the popup. Then please do the same for Poweramp Full Version Unlocker - UNCHECK, if you have it (system can't distinguish apps from plugins) -
Xiaomi:
- device Settings / Installed apps / Poweramp / Battery saver / No restrictions
(same for Poweramp Full Version Unlocker, as it's considered as the same app as Poweramp) -
Samsung:
- device Settings / Apps / Poweramp / Battery / Allow background activity (check)
If you have Poweramp Unlocker, do this for the Unlocker app too (as it's considered as the same app as Poweramp) -

some custom ROMs (Android 5-9) require Settings => Misc => Tweaks => Use Wakelock option to be enabled
Note: Unlocker app should be added to exceptions lists (if installed) as Unlocker is loaded to the same process and Android kills at process level - so both Poweramp and Unlocker are killed together.
