I'm interested in listening to podcasts with Google Play Music playing in the background at low volume. I can lower the volume in Play Music independently by using the equalizer and moving all the sliders to the bottom. I just can't get it to keep playing when I start a podcast in BeyondPod. They both take control of the audio focus. Does anyone know of a way to prevent specific apps from taking control of audio focus?

Is it possible to record the audio output from the default music player or more specifically an application like Spotify.
I have Replay Music on my laptop which enables me to record the sound going through the audio chipset/soundcard. I would like to be able to either record the streams or record the offline playlists which output as per the music player when not connected to the net.
Can someone suggest an app or maybe a route to mod this in?
If it's a no-go then I'd appreciate someone kicking me up the arse and telling me to go and have a word with myself
I have normalized the volume on all of my mp3 files using the MP3Gain application on my PC. This applies a factor to the file telling the music player how to adjust the volume for each mp3 so that they will all play at the same level. Otherwise, you get the problem that every mp3 starts at a different volume and you have constantly adjust the level.
Most well-designed music players will use the gain settings and make the level adjustment, but the stock music player on the Captivate seems to ignore the settings.
So, my questions are:
1. Does anybody know how to make the stock music player play nice with the gain settings?
2. Otherwise, does anybody know if there are other players which will use the gain settings.
Also, is the Captivate player a skinned version of the standard Android player? If so, does the standard player pay attention to the gain settings? If so, then maybe there's a hidden setting that will make it work on the Captivate. Anybody who's knowledgeable about this, please jump in.
It would be nice if an Android music player supported ReplayGain, yeah; I'm not sure if any do. It certainly would have to be a third-party music player. The only way to make the stock music player respect this would be to actually normalize the files instead of having ReplayGain tags. The downside, of course, if that this irreversibly changes the actual music files, themselves.
Hello everyone
I needed to know something about ducking or pusing music during notifications and map navigation with voice
Im using Jetaudio plus and it does not have the option to duck music instead of pausing it like rocket player does.
Even common, simpler and free audio players do this. They duck the music instead of pausing it.
Is there a workaround or app or something i can use?
Please help me
Ive posted this problem on both the free and paid versions of jetaudio for quite some time now, but it seems I am being ignored
Thanks
help me understand something.. what the heck is ducking? referring to ducking music..
Ducking is when youre hearing music and if u get a notification, the music volumes goes out of focus, it drops to a low value so that the notification sound or map navigation voice has the audio focus. But in no way, does the music pause. It then again comes back to focus after the notifcation or voice navigation is finished
was i clear ?
Anyone?
Bump
Hoping to find a solution

you need to set in settings->gps audio MIXING, not switching
Brief question description:
I'm trying to set different audio streams for two different applications in order to play their sounds simultaneously with different volume levels.
For example, I want to set App1 to Media stream and App2 to System or Alarm stream. Then by setting different volume levels for each stream I will be able to play sounds from App1 and App2 simultaneously with different volume levels.
Purpose:
Play music in the background with low level volume and simultaneously play video in the foreground with higher level volume.My other questions having the same purpose:
How to have a background app and a foreground app with different volumes?
Specific Usage Case:
I'm using Poweramp Music Player (in the background) to play music, and MX Player (in the foreground) to play videos (video lectures). What I'm looking for is to play music in the background with low volume level while playing videos in the foreground on MX Player with another higher volume level.
Device Info:
ROM: Android v6.0.1 (Rooted with Xposed installed)
Yes, its possible.
Use Tasker>Media >Play folder and choose your music folder to play.
Next use the MX player to play your video.
Now both of them will play simultaneously.
In the end, thank me.
Brief question description:
I'm trying to set different sound levels for two different sounds playing simultaneously from two applications.
Purpose:
Play music in the background with low level volume and simultaneously play video in the foreground with higher level volume.
Specific Usage Case:
I'm using Poweramp Music Player (in the background) to play music, and MX Player (in the foreground) to play videos (video lectures). What I'm looking for is to play music in the background with a specific (low) sound level (or volume level) while playing videos in the foreground on MX Player with another (higher) sound level. I'm able to play two sounds simultaneously by disabling Permanent Audio Focus Change (in Audio Focus ← Audio in Poweramp, hinted by this question) but without being able to set two different sound levels for the two sounds (The sound from Poweramp and the other one from MX Player) as there is only one generic sound level for everything on the media stream that all apps abide to.
Suggestions I'm trying:
Setting different Audio stream for each of the two applications. [Related Question]
Suggestions tried but unsuccessful:
I've tried App Volume Control, but it says:
It's not possible to have a background app and a foreground app with different volumes, this is an Android limitation.
