Android: Pandora sound temporarily pauses when sound from another app plays

[Jreese3]

When I have a song playing on Pandora and I receive an email on my phone the song cuts out and I hear a ping letting me know something has come in. How can I prevent this from happening? I have an android phone. 

Thanks

Hi @Jreese3 

Welcome to community!

Unfortunately, the sound settings of each app are set by the needs of the app and cannot be altered. So, if you are playing a game or using an app that requires sound, the audio from Pandora may pause. It's not possible for us to override the sound settings, or any other functions of another app. The only way to prevent this would be to mute or remove the sound from the app.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

But that is so annoying!  What an easy thing for Google to fix, if they gave a **ahem**.
