W<SPAN>e moved your post from the Ideas board to the relevant Help board, where it fits better.</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>We're afraid it's not something that can be implemented by Spotify since we can't influence how other apps behave while Spotify is open.</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and will make sure to pass it onto the right team, as we always strive to improve your experience.</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Hope this clears things up. If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.&nbsp;</SPAN></P> Sun, 31 Mar 2024 23:23:05 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Audio-Mixing-Issue-via-Sideloaded-Apps-Android-TV-for-Muting/m-p/5979254#M209142 Eni 2024-03-31T23:23:05Z
