Description

Hi,

It appears that when backgroundAudio="true" and silent mode on iOS is true the audio also goes into mute mode. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

When backgroundAudio="false" and before opening the app, if I set the volume to 50% and then open the app and play a video and turn the volume up it will show as 100% but still plays very quietly as if it is still playing at 50%. I can decrease the volume to 0%. This seems like very odd behaviour to me.

Cheers,
James

Research direction

The issue names Exoplayer and iOS but no file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing both volume scenarios described: backgroundAudio with silent mode enabled, and changing system volume before playback. Done means the intended iOS audio behavior is established and both reported mute or incorrect-volume cases are resolved and covered by verification.
