Audio stops when screen timesout

[Angmilla]

I've got a Samsung S10e. My apps or playlists stop playing as soon as the screen times out or I lock the screen. How can I listen to my phone without keeping the screen open?

the apps lock it is normal. For the music player go into settings of the samsung music apps and make sure that the option saying play when screen off  is active.

Let me know!

Thanks, I dont have Samsung music apps on my phone. After reading a solution on someone else's post. I went into my battery settings and took my apps out of the sleeping folder. I also changed the phone optimising settings to give permission to run in the background. I'm not sure which step worked, but sound runs through the night now👌🏽👌🏽

@Sk28: Are you using the stock Phone app when this issue occurs, or a third party option such as WhatsApp? Furthermore, are you using a Bluetooth or wired headset? If you press the Power button on the side of the device when the issue occurs, does this restore the sound?

If the issue is stemming from a third party app, try heading to Settings > Apps > Select the relevant app > Battery > Allow background activity, and toggle this option on, to see if this helps.
