Is it possible to deactivate audio focus on startup?
Since Unity 5.4, the background music stops on startup and i couldn’t find a way to deactivate audio focus.

I would love to know the answer. My players are complaining!

It’s currently not possible but it sounds like a reasonable feature for games that doesn’t have background music. Would a player setting in the editor suffice or would you need a runtime API where you could toggle this on and off?

Player setting would be perfect for my apps. This sounds like the best way to prevent native music players being paused on startup.

I would vote up to this request. Disabling audio focus internal control would be great for my app as well.

I would love to see this setting. My players are complaining and I hate to reply there is nothing I can do.

Hi, we also have users complaining about the loss of the audio focus, especially since 5.3.6 which always get audio focus and we don’t want to, especially since this fix
