"Separate Sound" app not working correctly HELP!

I have an S9+. Some say a dinosaur, but idc, I love it! I decided to try the "Separate Sound" app pre-installed by Samsung. Wish I hadn't. It doesn't turn "off" with slider in "off" position & selections are grayed out. On top of that, it doesn't work correctly when on! I listen to YouTube on my BT Headphones every night-mental health issues. It will connect YT to my bt device but after a period of time, it stops playing on bt device & YT turns off. I'm usually asleep but I wake when its been quiet a while. I tried changing to an app other than YT. Then set my YT output directly to the bt device & turn on "do not disturb" on my phone. It still affects YT! The DND is the way I played music overnight undisturbed & it worked great. I was just curious about the "separate sound" function. I tried installing "Good Lock" & "Sound Assistant" from Galaxy store w/no help there. I need to fix whats wrong! (or get rid of the option which i don't think is an option) How can I fix this?HELP! I do not want to buy a new phone-I love mine. On top of that, a new phone is so not in the budget. At all.

Hi, and welcome to the community

I've found that after a certain time period YouTube prompts you to acknowledge you still want to listen. If you don't hit 'yes' then it turns off. You won't see it because you're asleep obviously.
