I have exactly the same problem. When will there be a reaction to the issue?

@RonnySchleicher if you use capacitor I suggest you to use Cap-go/native-audio.

@hvma411 I'm using Cordova. But I'm trying to use this solution.

This is not fixed for ages. I hope it is fixed soon.

I too would love to see a solution for this. Our app has various timers in it that play a sound when segments are completed. Would be great if the user's music could return after the timer plays it's sound.

I did find this plugin that I will try as an option when I go through our next dev cycle but if anyone else needs a more urgent fix, please let me know if this work for your use case. https://github.com/talisman-games/cordova-plugin-ui-sounds
