Do not request audio focus if muted

I'd like to play Kingdom Rush Frontiers while listening to music in another app. This is not currently possible because Frontiers requests audio focus even when music and sound effects have been turned off in the app.

What system do you have?

I was rocking out to music on KR only this morning. I'm on IOS and can listen to music or podcasts while in any kingdom rush game. I just had the music playing before I started the app.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that, I'm running Android.

Mm, I've got the same problem. Can't play my own music on Android.

I completely agree. However, for me, Frontiers is the only game that does NOT request audio focus! I can't play Spotify behind KR or Origins, but can on Frontiers. Maybe it's a settings issue? I would love to get this worked out.
