[REQUIRED] Description of problem:

On Android Device, when I launch Dashbord with these two frigate cards, Audio of other applications (Deezer, Spotify or all others one) are shutted off while camera are muted. So I have to re launch my other audio Application (eg Deezer).
I'm not understanding why music audio stream are replaced by HA Frigate Audio; The camera are all muted.
Strange things, the real streams of the camera are been muted because I heared no sounds from the camera. I have to click on the unmute button off frigate card to hear the sound...

[OPTIONAL] Last working release (if known):
No last working.
If I'm using standard viewer (no webrtc), audio music app are not shut while launching HA frigate Dahsboard

Oh sorry, the description was commented on the ticket. Right now

The card does not control what Android chooses to do -- at most it can influence it.

I just tested this out with an empty dashboard, a standard picture-glance card (i.e. not this card) and my own Android device -- once there is a video stream, Android will pause background music automatically. If it's a stream of images (e.g. live_provider: image in this card) it will not pause the audio, perhaps that is a workaround. But so far, I'm not sure this is a problem the card can do anything about. Have you ever seen this work otherwise in a HA dashboard? Perhaps there is something we can learn.

Thanks,
My previous dashboard use standard card (not frigate card) and the video stream was ok with default mute audio. So dashboard not pause background audio (ie music).
With frigate card, the video stream with webrtc is ok and the camera are all mute. But the dashboard pause the audio background music in 100% of cases. I so have a blank sound because camera are muted.
It's binding because launching HA app cause playback music off.... (my Default dashboard have a frigate card... wich switch all cameras) in the house but in the car also.

My previous dashboard use standard card (not frigate card) and the video stream was ok with default mute audio.

I tested this today. The background music was also paused even with the standard picture-glance card, when the glance card is configured to play the video stream (and not just show images).
