 Description   

If I have sound playing in the background (for example music) when I open Minecraft Pocket Edition on my iPod, the sound pauses. It does it while it is saying, "Mojang".

It has been doing this ever since I installed it. I installed it on my iPod when the game was somewhere in 0.15.

Edit by depressed-pho:
The issue has been worsened in 1.1, that is, when you have a background app playing music, the game no longer plays its own sound. In versions prior to 1.1 it was properly mixing its sound effects and the music played by another app.

Exists on iPad Pro on 1.2.15 still. I can actually vouch for this bug existing way before 0.15. I started to play MCBE when MCPE 0.2 was released on iPads. For as long as I can remember this bug has always existed in Minecraft and has never gone away. In fact i’de say with confidence that this is the oldest bug in the game that has never been fixed.

Still affects 1.2.14 on iOS 11.2.6.
