Why does my music stop when I play a game

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Question:

I have noticed that the music keeps pausing on it's own when I am playing one particular game. This does not happen for other games and I have audio turned off for most of my games. The issue started from today afternoon (the issue was not there in the morning and I was playing the same game with music on).

Is it something wrong with the game or my airpods or my device?

If it is something with the game, do I need to worry on security end?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

Answer:

Hey Aetherene,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand you're experiencing music pausing when playing a game.

You've already done a lot of what we would have asked to help isolate this, so great job there. Since this is isolated behavior to only one game, that would point toward the issue being with the game. The link below offers some great steps to take when an app isn't working as expected.

If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won't open

If this behavior continues, connecting with the app developer regarding this behavior would be the next best step. You can see how to do that in the link below. Music pausing wouldn't lead us to believe there is any concern security-wise though.

Thanks again, and have a great day!

Why does my music stop when I play a game

How do you stop the game from pausing music?? It doesn’t matter how many times I toggle back to the music app and hit play again. Every time I open the game, it stops my music. All sounds and music in the game are turned off. I loathe this music-stopping feature.

Why does my music stop when I play a game

If music apps on your phone or tablet are not allowed to run in the background, your audio may stop if the phone or app goes to sleep. Whether you're streaming music from third-party apps like Spotify, using Samsung earbuds, or listening directly to audio files on your phone, you'll need to update your sleeping apps settings to prevent this from happening.
