iPhone/Siri voice to text stopping playback on Roon ARC

[Marc_Axelbaum]

When I play music in my car through Roon ARC on CarPlay, if I dictate a text message using iPhone voice to text, it pauses playback on Roon ARC. When I stop dictating and send the message, playback does not resume. This can be annoying if I am simultaneously using Waze or another app through CarPlay, because I then have to press through several buttons on my car screen to get to arc and press play again each time I send a message.

Using Apple Music, the same is not true – – playback resumes automatically after I finish the text.

Is there a way to change this? If not, I would add it as a feature request. Thank you.

Welcome @Marc_Axelbaum!

Focus ducking in ARC [on roadmap]

Can we get (an option for) focus ducking in ARC? At the moment, when ARC is playing music on my phone (Pixel 6, Android 13), and a notification comes in or other software wants to make some noise, playback in ARC stops completely (ARC then resumes when the other app has finished). With any other decent music app (I normally use TIDAL), the music is ‘ducked’, that is, the volume temporarily lowered slightly, so that you can hear the other notification over the top, but music playback continues …

Please vote for this feature.
