Playing Audio Over Other Apps

Keep music playing when other apps play sound: turn on Play audio over other apps in Music Speed Changer for Android.

Normally, when another app starts playing sound (for example a video, a game or a phone call), Android asks the music app to pause. This is called an audio focus request. It's the most common reason music pauses unexpectedly.

Music Speed Changer can ignore these requests, so your music keeps playing while you watch videos, play games, or anything else that would normally pause it.

  1. Open the app menu (☰) and tap Settings, or tap Settings in the editor's ⋮ menu.
  2. Under Device interaction, tick Play audio over other apps (No playback interruptions).
Settings with an arrow pointing at the Play audio over other apps checkbox

To go back to pausing for other apps, untick it.
