Sounds playing in background when Ads are loaded. iOS Unity build

Unity

I am trying to pause sounds when ads are playing. I am using Appslovin Max SDK for ads.
Sounds should not play when ads are playing.

FMOD will not automatically stop playing audio when interrupted by other software like ad integrations.

RuntimeManager.CoreSystem.mixerSuspend(); should be called when an ad starts playing, and RuntimeManager.CoreSystem.mixerResume(); when an ad stops playing and you want FMOD audio to return. You may need to call this manually from your own code when you start/stop playing an ad, or Appslovin Max SDK may offer callbacks for you to tie the suspend and resume calls to.

    #if (UNITY_IOS || UNITY_TVOS || UNITY_VISIONOS) && !UNITY_EDITOR
    [AOT.MonoPInvokeCallback(typeof(Action<bool>))]
    private static void HandleInterrupt(bool began)
    {
        if (Instance.studioSystem.isValid())
        {
            // Strings bank is always loaded
            if (Instance.loadedBanks.Count > 1)
                PauseAllEvents(began);

            if (began)
            {
                Instance.coreSystem.mixerSuspend();
            }
            else
            {
                Instance.coreSystem.mixerResume();
            }
        }
    }

#if (UNITY_IOS || UNITY_TVOS || UNITY_VISIONOS) && !UNITY_EDITOR
[DllImport(“__Internal”)]
private static extern void RegisterSuspendCallback(Action func);
#endif

Allow this code in runtimemanager to be done automatically?

The code in RuntimeManager that you’ve linked cannot be done automatically.

For iOS system suspend/resume, we specifically subscribe to a number of iOS system notifications that we use to call the HandleInterrupt() function that you’ve pointed out - the code for this can be found at ./Assets/Plugins/FMOD/platform_ios.mm.

This works fine for system interruptions, but since ad integrations use their own interruptions, if you need to suspend and resume FMOD audio you’re required to handle mixerSuspend()/mixerResume() yourself. Modifying RuntimeManager() to make use of the existing code in some way would be one method of doing this.
