Go to your Chess.com app, click on the hamburger (three lines) in the top left, scroll down to Settings > General > Toggle “sounds” off. Quit Chess.con app and reopen. That will allow you to listen to Spotify and play chess 🤩
music while playing

iPhone friends, for me it turned out to be an issue with the lessons feature. The relationship between in-game videos and how I exit the app in particular. Closing and reopening the app fixes the problem and I can listen to music while playing without messing with settings. Have fun!
Same for me, even while doing puzzles. Paying a sh*t ton and an app service like this is actually unacceptable.

Hi, the app, on iOS, takes over all sound the moment you open the app, and the moment you open a game.
This isn’t a problem with iOS, it’s a problem with Chess.com app.
On CarPlay it does the same, which is extremely frustrating too. Can’t play chess and listen to the radio, Music, Audible, etc.
what can be done?
Same issue with iOS app on latest iOS. Starting new game stops music (CarPlay) even though board-sound is turned off.

Hi I had that annoying issue I could fix it,
update the app
deactivate “game mode”
game mode when you run the app is stopping the other apps in background to optimise maximum of the app running in this mode.

I don’t remember trying to play music on my phone while using the app. Does it stop as soon as the app is opened, or only when it goes into play mode? Also, what kind of phone are you using? (mine is too far away to check).download spotify premium mod apk https://seruapk.com/spotify/
Yes, very frustrating. Easy fix
