The music stops when the app is in the background

Hi 

I have navigation running and once in a while when music plays in the background and I receive a notification in the navigation, the playback stops, after going to the menu of available applications, the sound returns. Is there a way to change something in the settings of the player so that the sound doesn't stop?

Have you tried using volume dipping for notifications? In PA Settings=>Audio=>Audio Focus=>Duck Volume.

I didn't change anything in the settings. it's not that the music is quieter, it's that the music is completely turned off.

This issue is related to build 945, I do experience it too, once in a while, the music will just stop, I will think I have a notification or sleep timer on, but nothing like that. 

Somebody may suggest excluding Poweramp from being killed by battery saver app, but I don't have anything like that turned on.

Poweramp will not report it was killed, the music just stops playing as if it was paused. 

I can not say it's related to RAM, I have 8 + 2. My Samsung galaxy m51 hardly reaches 4.2 RAM used.

Immediately after this happens, if PA has definitely not been killed & restarted, please could you send an error log via Settings=>Get Support=>Send Log to gpmaxmpz [at] gmail.com. Post a message here too to say you have done this, and mention that it relates to this thread.

the application is always active (battery saving settings turned off) even when it is in the foreground I noticed that the music stops for a moment and starts again but there is no sound, pausing the start and changing the track does not help only entering the application menu restores the sound.

Oh, I see, what you are describing now is different from what I thought. 

Are You using AAudio output? And you've selected 96KHz sample rate? If this is the case, try Hi-Res output instead, and select a sample rate that matches your files.

I haven't changed anything in general, where can I change it in the settings?

PA Settings=>Audio=>Output.

First restore to defaults, and then try using different output methods such as Hi-Res, AAudio, Audio Track, etc. Each one can be enabled separately for outputs to Speaker, Wired Headset/AUX, Bluetooth, USB DAC, etc.

Navigation apps mostly make use of your audio output to communicate the direction you ought to go. 

Whenever an app requests to use the Audio channel, Poweramp is set up to respect it,in which case, it will pause, or stop completely. 

This option can be changed in Poweramp settings according to your preference.

Go to Poweramp settings- in settings, enter Audio, in Audio, enter Audio Focus. 

In Audio Focus, I think you should disable Short Audio Focus Change/ Calls.

But don't forget, this may make it difficult to hear your caller, and your caller hearing you during phone call. 

Give it a try.

@rychu9191 So are you now saying that your Poweramp installation is actually on a car head-unit?

Andre

I think that is what he is saying, good thing I asked. I think the issue is with the navigation voice assistant, Poweramp have to pause when navigation app is in use.

Yes 

I deactivated the option

 Settings=>Audio=>Audio Focus, or at least set it to Duck Volume instead.

 

and set it to aux

Hi-Res, AAudio, Audio Track

 

I'll let you know if that helped
