Poweramp not pausing during phone call

Ever since the update to oxygen os 9.0, Poweramp no longer pauses during a phone call. I have played around with the audio settings but it doesn't seem to pause during phone calls anymore.

I have been able to get it to pause during phone calls by doing two things, but these are not optimal

 

1. Disabling direct volume control. Not ideal as it affects audio output 

2. Enabling short audio focus change. Not what I want because I do not want the music pausing for notifications or for navigation. I only want it to pause when I send or receive a phone call

Enabling duck volume does not seem to help, as the audio plays choppy when I receive a notification or have navigation on.
