[EuphonicEV]

Is there an answer to this?

Hi @EuphonicEV , thanks for posting and welcome to the Pandora Community! Can you tell me more about this?

• Are you experiencing this directly on your phone or is it happening on an Apple Watch or any other linked device? If you are connected to another device, is it linked through Bluetooth?
• Is it happening with audible notifications? Or with silent ones too?
• Are you connected to Wi-Fi or are you using mobile data?

Let me know!

Wait- wrong post- this is not for iOS- I have an Android.
I notice it most when in the car (Bluetooth AND Android Auto) and when
using the BOSE speaker (Bluetooth).


There was an option in the Audio settings to allow music to mute for
system sounds, wasn't there? I want to turn that off. Nothing is important
enough to stop the music while driving or cleaning the house. And I want
to set it and forget it so it's just playing for hours if I want it to.

Thanks for telling me @EuphonicEV.

To keep things tidy, I moved your post to the Android support space.

Please try the steps described here to troubleshoot this issue and let me know how it goes.

That said, we have an AutoPlay setting, however what you mention sounds like you are talking about the app permissions on your phone. The AutoPlay function is intended to seamlessly takes over the listening experience once your on-demand selection ends, so we'll start playing similar content based on whatever you were just listening to, and what you mention seems more like an override setting on your phone to allow Pandora to continue to playing over other apps.

Still, if you'd like you can view your AutoPlay setting from a mobile device as follows:

1. Tap Profile and select the Settings gear in the top right corner. 
2. Select Advanced.

Let me know how it goes.
