Windows 10: Why does my music stop playing as soon a game window launches

When I boot into a game my music still plays as Spotify shows its still playing but there is no audio coming from Spotify and only from the game. It used to not do this until a month ago. What I want to do is get the audio to both come from the game and spotify. I tried reinstalling drivers and I even fully reset the pc with a fresh install of windows 11.

Groove Music Unable to Play Music

We'll try a different approach, we suggest that you reinstall Groove Music and see if it has the same issue. Follow the steps below on how to remove and reinstall Groove Music:

• Open Start menu, search for "PowerShell"
• Right-click the PowerShell shortcut and select "Run as administrator". Agree to the UAC prompt.
• Type/Copy paste Get-AppxPackage *zunemusic* | Remove-AppxPackage.
• Once that Groove Music has been uninstalled, launch Windows 10 Store.
• Type/Search for Groove Music and install.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Groove stops playing abruptly

Groove occasionally stops playing a few seconds into a song when I double click a new track in Windows Explorer and an existing track is already playing.

Steps to reproduce

• Open the Music folder
• Double-click a track
• With the track still playing, select a different track from Windows Explorer
• Repeat a few times letting the track play for a few seconds before selecting another
• On occasion Groove will stop playing a track that has already started

 

Option to play Music while playing game on Windows 10

I am not able at all to mute the games I am playing. They are the AARP games. There is NO button or drop down list to mute them. What do I do? Give up the games to listen to the music or play the games and forget about the music? Hard choice!!! Thank you!!!
