Hi experts,

My media playback (music/video/youtube/spoiify/FM radio/bbc iPlayer) keeps pausing/stopping itself - implying something is trying to take over the audio, but how can work out what it is and how to stop it?

I've a Z5 Compact with on Android 6.0.1 unlocked with a custom rom and have had no problems for many months, but this has now appeared. I've tried the obvious things like toggling power saving options, etc.

I'd rather diagnose what's causing it rather than wipe/reset and hope for the best.

Is there some way to see what is interrupting / trying to take the audio focus? Some kind of log or something?

Thanks
