My Question or Issue

Hello everybody, thanks for taking the time to read this. My issue is that when I want to, for example, want to listen to an WhatsApp audio message or an Instagram videos audio I can only listen to it when Spotify is running. It works fine with the music in the background but the other audio is usually hard to hear. Once I pause Spotify the other audio isn't played either. (When Spotify is off it obviously works)

This now leaves me with having to force close Spotify, force close the other app, open the other app, getting back to the audio source and then listening to it. This can't be it.

To make if a little more clear:

I can only listen to other audio with Spotify in background. The second I press the pause button, I can't hear the other audio anymore (even though it is still running)

I hope somebody has a clue about what is going on and can provide help. Thank you very much 🙂
