Android streaming audio stops (goes to pause)
<p>I have a Galaxy S5 with Android version 6.0.1
Power saving mode is "off" and ultra power saving mode is "off"</p>

<p>I've tried three Internet music streaming apps namely: Pandora, SiriusXM and WDET Radio.</p>

<p>In each case music/audio material plays for awhile (approximately a few minutes) and then the audio turns off with the app at "pause" (play button appears and audio will continue when play button is pressed).  This can occur anytime, in other words it doesn't occur just at the end of an audio track.</p>

<p>I've searched on this topic and the only suggestion I could find was to make sure the power savings mode were set to off.  I do not have the source code to these apps so I can only log what is enabled by the app.</p>

<p>I captured some logcat traces while filtering on "aud".  I had tried various filters (and also no filtering) but I couldn't see a pattern until I filtered on "aud".</p>

<p>I have pasted in a segment of the logcat showing the startup of Pandora which ran from 21:33:53 to 21:39 when the app was closed by me. The entry at:</p>

<pre><code>12-29 21:38:03.712 767-1806/? W/MediaFocusControl:   AudioFocus   audio focus client died
</code></pre>

<p>indicates when muted audio was detected (by listening to it).  There was no user intervention to cause this.  The logcat entry follows:</p>

</code></pre>

<p>The second instance of audio focus client died occurred at:</p>

<pre><code>12-29 21:39:41.392 767-786/? W/MediaFocusControl:   AudioFocus   audio focus client died
</code></pre>

<p>This occurred after I hit the back button and then closed the app from the media notification.</p>

<p>Both the SiriusXM and WDET Radio app gave similar behavior insofar as the "audio focus client died" and muting behavior is concerned.  I am an end user of these apps but since they all behave in a similar manner I am thinking it must have something to do with my device's configuration.  This occurs whether I have Wifi or LTE as my data link.  Furthermore the same end behavior occurs (loss of audio when it goes to "pause") whether I have either logging enabled through USB or no USB connection.</p>

<p>I haven't noticed this behavior in the past but I can't really say at what point it started to occur.</p>

<p>What can cause audio to unilaterally mute like this?</p>

<p>Is there some setting on my Android that can cause this?</p>

<p>Is there more information I can provide to help resolve this?</p>

<p>Thanks much.

<p><strong>New Information:</strong>
I ran some more tests and found the following logcat patterns (four out of four test results) when the audio focus client was declared dead:</p>

<p>Test 1:</p>

</code></pre>

<p>In each case the audio stopped at essentially the same time as the ActivityManager was killing the Connected BMW app.</p>

<p>Does this mean the BMW Connected app has the audio focus even though it is not streaming out audio? </p>

<p>The other apps (SiriusXM, Pandora or WDET Radio) are the ones streaming audio. </p>

<p>I uninstalled the Connected BMW app and each of the three apps (SiriusXM, Pandora and WDET Radio) played continuously for 20 minutes.   I never used the connected app anyway.</p>
