Truth
(lemmy.world)
We think therefore we are
My phone: "we paused your music/video because you clicked on another video/song/sound clip and we don't want you to get overwhelmed by multiple audio streams"
My computer: "HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER! LET'S PLAY 57.5 MOVIES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE WE LISTEN TO THE NATURAL SOUNDS OF TRASH COMPACTORS AND WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT SAWING YOUR COCK OFF, BITCH!"
You can play multiple audio streams simultaneously on Samsung phones. There's an app in Samsung's app store you need to download, but it's possible
Ye, I have Sound Assistant (I think that's what you're referring to). It looks like it's been updated because I'm almost certain it used to only let you pick one app, but now you can choose all apps. It still only has the option for none, one or all apps though (no option to allow just some apps).
disable auto play?
Nothing to do with auto play. My phone gets upset if I try to have more than one audio source open at a time, regardless of intent (I have to install an app and explicitly state which apps shouldn't pause media); meanwhile my PC doesn't give a fuck.
I think they interpreted your 57.5 audio streams as a bad thing
Smh, kids these days...
They're just too weak. They think their tiktok videos with the subway surfers and family guy in the corner is overstimulating. Back in my day we simultaneously watched 57.5 movies and cock removal YouTube videos while listening to the soothing sounds of trash compactors (natural) and we liked it.
(To be clear, imo auto-pausing media is a bad thing. I shouldn't have to jump through 20 hoops if I want to listen to music and watch a YouTube video at the same time.)

Do not know how many times I've been driving down the road peacefully listening to an audiobook when my family or friends start a conversation in a group chat that pings every 3 to 10 seconds with new replies or notifications that someone "loved" a comment or some shit.
My phone: "The truth was evident all along. In fact, the killer was..." PING ... "evident all along..." PING... "evident all along. In fact,..." PING... "evident all along. In fact, the killer was right under..." PING...
Me: "For the love of God, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Phone: PING
I found a fix for that and you should use it while driving anyway. Three words DO NOT DISTURB.
Every since I discovered that I use it while driving and no more interrupts to my audiobook, podcast, nor music.
I want my phone to still be reachable. I want to receive texts still, as well as calls. I just don't want to be inundated with interrupting notifications while trying to listen to something when I can't easily manipulate my phone.
They could make an optional setting to where after a notification pings, your phone won't ping for subsequent notifications for some time frame after, like, say, 30 seconds. They could also let you set default notification preferences when your phone is connected to Bluetooth in a car or playing continuous audio streams like music, audiobooks and podcasts. Like if I'm in a vehicle with a screen that has popup notifications, maybe that's the only way I want those notifications while in the car. Or maybe while listening to audiobooks, music, or whatever, I may want the notifications to not pause the audio, but play concurrently, or only vibrate instead, or flash my phones flashlight, etc.
There should be other options between accept constant interruptions or cut off all contract from the outside world.

am I the only one here that leaves do not disturb on at all times?
I switch between do not disturb and vibrate. Sound notifications are absolutely insane.
When I set my phone to vibration only, it still vibrates (obviously) but music or audiobooks aren't interrupted.
And if you're still waiting: it's the gardener. It's always the gardener

Android now allows you to set how many minutes need to be between two notifications of one App. Helps with such problems.
I also tend to just leave it on vibrate. That way I get notified, but my media keeps playing.

This is up there with web developers not respecting the Back button.
Fuck you in particular, Microsoft website.
Seriously, why are websites even allowed to change the history?
also disabling the paste function when having repeated fields (like password or phone number confirmation fields). webdevs shouldn't have access to these apis and those who use them should feel very bad

IMO, the worst is pausing my media to play an ad in an unrelated application.
No matter what I try, I can't get my music to play over the ad. I can silence the ad, go to my player, hit play to resume the music, and as soon as I flip back to the app playing the ad, the music pauses. So I have three choices: uninstall this shit, listen to silence until the ad is over, or listen to the ad.
Either I pay for the app to have it without ads or I remove it. Both my pc and my phone are ad free. I watch YouTube without ads thanks to the grayjay app, which includes sponsor block. I removed Reddit when Boost stopped working for it. I don't watch sports because of all the ads. I live an ad free life.

Pro tip : if you're on an android phone, specifically a Samsung device, you can download an app called Sound Assistant by Good Lock Labs. Open it, and scroll down to the bottom setting called Multi sound and set it to the on position. That should disable the feature that pauses audio from a previous source when a new source appears, eg: music playing in the background gets paused by an autoplaying ad on a website
Also specifically with Samsung, there is a setting called separate app sound. With this feature you can have your music play out a Bluetooth sound source while opening a different application and have the sound come out the phone for that. It's the biggest feature I miss when switching to pixel.
You seem knowledgeable with these workarounds, would you happen to know of a way to bypass ducking?
It's the temporarily lowered volume for notifications etc. I know app developers can choose how to implement this, PowerAmp lets you choose whether to do it or not. I can't find such a setting for Audible and Spotify, and while navigation prompts are played through my phone (on purpose) it still lowers the music on the car's speakers.
Once my Spotify didn't stop my metal song while I answered the phone, it was a mess
At least with the config I mentioned, it pauses any audio for calls. I assume it was bugged for you
Yup was just a one time thing lol

It's time to go back to iPods/mp3 players, everyone
Turns out maybe boiling all our electronics into a single device maybe had consequences

I'm glad newish android versions have a "allow sound from multiple sources" option, now nothing can stop anything I'm listening to but myself. Before this only Podcast Addict had an option to ignore media pause requests from other apps.

I'm pretty sure its because mobile OSs are designed to only let one app access the audio at one time.
Samsung has a workaround for this with their sound assistant app. It'll let you both control individual app audio and allow apps to play audio at the same time.
Android isn't and fairly confident ios isn't neither. Apps are made to behave this way because it's generally more convenient. They can ignore it or not trigger it for other apps just fine, like in the case of WhatsApp conversation tones or shutter tones

Average iPhone user
True. It’s a super annoying iOS “feature”
It's not really a feature but a side effect of having two audio channels. One is completely dependent on the ringer being on, and the other may only have one app playing on it.

Fuck that, I'm the one in control, I decide when my music stops. When an app does this, it is removed.
I also hate it when an app on my pc thinks it needs to be pulled up in front of the screens I'm working in. I haven't found a way to fix this yet. When you need my attention, send me a notification instead of annexing my entire screen.
When I open Kodi and click on another screen right after clicking it's icon, it opens in the background so it can scan for new media while I finish what I was doing. Like it's supposed to. I click on it whenever I want the screen to be on top.
I hate it when something takes control over something I own. Which is why I'm leaving windows. Can't wait for proper Linux phones. Fuck Microsoft, fuck Google. And no, not fuck Apple, sadomasochists need a place to buy their products too.
Clearly, the Wayland core protocol developers must think exactly like you, because recent versions of Linux (Plasma 6, Ubuntu 22.04, etc) with Wayland have gone waaaaay too far in that direction.
Nothing can ever grab your screen ever. For example, when I click on a link in my messaging app, I get a notification that "Chrome is ready" so I should switch to it. Like... seriously?
