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!"

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.)

I use Sound Assistant from the Samsung store. It has an option called "multi sound" that can be toggled. It looks like the app now has an option to enable multi sound for all apps (or just for a single app, but it only gives the option for none, one app, or all apps); though I think that must be new because I'm pretty sure it didn't have that option the last time I checked it.

Dunno if there are any system-agnostic options.

I think the only app I use that plays audio alongside others is my Lemmy client, and I absolutely prefer it. If I've got some music on in the background, I can still listen to some random video I stumble across here, and I really prefer that.

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).
