Hi,

This sounds more like a new version limitation, rather than a bug.  I was not expecting other audio to continue working when MBraille is running.  It is a surprise to me that it works in the legacy app.

That said, I'm focusing on audio issues right now, especially the occasional missing announcements for words.   I will check if keeping background audio running is feasible, now that you mentioned that the legacy app supports it.

Best regards,
Harri

Hi,
As the beta gets better I am attempting to use it more in non testing situations. And with that, sorry to say, another moderately serious bug.

Many of the sounds the app makes are interrupting music playing on my phone. It's like MBraille is taking control of the audio. So music actually stops instead of just ducking or continuing to play.

The following things make music stop:
App open
Swipe down with newline sound on
Misspelled word if not set to vibrate
command mode toggle beeps
click sound that plays as keyboard clicks are turned on or off from within settings.
Probably some I have missed.

Interestingly, the clicks that happen with typing do not cause music to stop.

I am composing this message in the legacy app, and not experiencing any music outages as the keyboard clicks away and new line sounds are happening.

PS: Just Turned off Voiceover. The self voicing voice also causes music to turn off.
