I would also like to go on record that I would rather have my game crash periodically then to remove background audio. This is not a solution, its just shifting the dysfunctionality of your programming.

Just adding my voice to the chorus on this. I like listening to music while I play Hearthstone on my phone. They need to fix this as soon as they can

I never had any issues with crashing!
Iām thinking maybe the new patch would have caused crashes if they hadnāt disabled the sound from other apps, not that it was already crashing before the patch, but I could be wrong
I play lullabies for my kids while I rock them and play. If I have to choose between getting my kids to sleep and the game, the priority is pretty obvious.
Was going to post the same thing. I can deal with all the very clear problems with the game but interrupt my podcast / music and Iām just going to stop opening the app.

Replying to keep this high on the list, I always listen to Spotify while I play and I havenāt been playing because of this issue. Hope it gets fixed soon!
Glad / annoying to see im not the only one with this issue. Fairly bs response from Blizzard. Hope the fix is soon as i wont be playing much with out it happening.
Keeping this thread alive till the issue is fixed. Important to make sure people donāt think itās their fault/phone
Can we talk about how hard it is to get support from Blizzard? I shouldnāt have to creep forums to find out a simple answer. Anyways, i wont be playing until its fixed. I almost uninstalled the game thinking it was just blizzard being petty.
You can bypass this by using Bluetooth devices. Verified with my iPhone 12 Pro and AirPod pro.
Start the audio app and ensure itās on the Home Screen player
Start hearthstone
Use the headphones to resume playing audio (do not use the homescreen)
In my case I can start SoundCloud and use the touch controller to resume playback. Using the on screen menu will pause playback.
Hope this helps and they fix this soonā¦

Well done thank you.
Just. Discovered this issue on iPad too.
I played music, took headphones out my ears, launched hearthstone, put headphones back in and music resumed. Good job thank you again
Hey all,
As most of you have already discovered this is an intentional change made by the Hearthstone developers, but they do plan to fix the issue in an upcoming patch.
In the meantime you should be able to un-pause your music after launching the Hearthstone app to continue listening while playing the game.
Unfortunately not. Canāt start spotify at all.

This isnāt the case for me. I hit play on my podcast, and return to Hearthstone and the podcast pauses again. When in the hearthstone app, all other audio sources are immediately paused.
This is really annoying.

Same with Duckworth.
I canāt on Spotify on mobile then tab to Hearthstone. Can we at least get a timeline when the fix will happen?

Let me guess, this is upcoming update will be in āthe near futureā
Which means next year in blizzard language.
Or maybe a paytoplay feature?
You are pretty good at this lately.

Hi I face the same issue. In the meantime, I see that the new extention containted some new game modes with music styles (electro, rock, etc.) and I wonder if that would be the origin of the problem. It is very problematic for me
This issue is horrible. LET THE APP CRASH! Itās preferable to music stopping and refusing to restart

What a terrible āworkaroundā for such an obvious bug.
No, you cannot tab out of HS to un-pause (did u mean resume?) your music, because HS pauses the music again when you tab back to the game. It also mutes the game in case you wanted to listen to your music AND have HS audio running while you play.
