Soften Music During Voice
ANY Music

The Soften Music During Voice option now works for ALL music sources on both Android and iOS, INCLUDING Apple Music on iOS! In the Edit Player screen you’ll see a “Soften Music During Voice” toggle (as seen below). When this is turned on, the music will fade down by 50% while the voice introduction is playing but will play at full volume before and/or after the voice intro. This allows the music to continue during voice introductions but not drowned out those great professional voices, while still being at an optimal level when voice is not playing.

On iOS, you will also find a “Soften Music During Voice Level” in the Actions > System Settings window, providing levels for Soft, Softer, and Softest. This level controls just how much the music volume will be softened or lowered during voice, with Softest lowering the volume of music the most.

Soften Music is not retained when sharing teams (as of version 17.5).
When Soften Music is turned on for the Team Intro player of a red/pre-game team, the music with them be softened during all voice playback throughout the continuous playback of all players.

Distortion / Static During Voice Playback (iPhone 11, iPhone XR)
Some users have reported hearing some static or distortion of the voice intros during playback over a Bluetooth speaker. We are actively investigating this issue. It seems that this only happens with certain iPhone models (iPhone 11 and iPhone XR), and with certain speakers (Sonos Move and ION Pathfinder), and ONLY if you have either Soften Music ON, or if you have Relative Volume set to Loudest Voice. If you have that combination, we recommend you turn off Soften Music, and/or you lower your relative volume to closer to EVEN. In version 16.6, we added 3 “softness” options to the Actions > System Settings screen. You may try the Soft and Softer options with Soften Music turned on to see if the distortion goes away. This issue does not seem to exhibit itself with iPhone models newer than the 11 and XR.
