Summary0021423: Google Maps instructions cause MMA playback to stop (regression?)
DescriptionWith build 1224, I've noticed that if I'm playing music with MMA while using Google Maps to navigate, then each time a navigation instruction is given, MMA playback stops! Tested with a Rav4 2017 Bluetooth - Samsung S24. Log ID: XW1WHDSNYF . Samsung Music doesn't experience this problem.

Note also that this doesn't occur for MMA when Waze is providing the instructions (Waze seems to continue playing MMA in the background without stopping playback at all): Log ID: 1VU9KRWJVV
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build

I was unable to replicate it until I connected my phone to BT.
I've realized that navigation instructions are spoken via phone speakers and not via BT.

To fix it you need to start navigation, then click on the bottom panel(remaining time to destination) to expand/Settings/Play voice over Bluetooth.
This option must be enabled to avoid pausing music during navigation instruction.

So why does the issue not occur with Samsung Music?

It's weird, but I have an idea what could be causing it.
The issue can be related to ticket the ticket 0008369 too. The user has S23+ Android 14 and it seems that volume reduction does not work on his device.
The behavior is different on your device, but the cause may be the same in the audioFocus settings.

Both settings work correctly on my devices, so I can't verify if the new one fixes the problem. We will see.

A)
1) I tested it with Samsung Music and the behavior is the same as with MMA.
Is it possible that during your testing of Samsung music, BT was already disconnected and therefore the behavior was different compared to MMA?

2) Can you confirm enabling "Play voice over Bluetooth" fixes the issue?
3) Can you confirm that pausing occurs only when navigation instruction goes through phone speakers even though BT device is connected?

B) Please test the new developer option on your Samsung S24 and confirm that it works.
This is not related to your issue, but it is related to ticket 8369. A user has a similar phone Samsung S23+.
1) Play some music
2) Go to Developer options and click on "Volume(Test)". The music volume should be changed with each click.
