2. Try a different Wi-Fi hotspot. If you are on cellular data, turn on Flight Mode for about 15 seconds and turn it off.

Because audio can only come out of one app on mobile devices, the system will stop KKBOX music when a video/audio starts playing after opening the app (i.e., Facebook), or when you are taking pictures/video.

If this happens when you are on Facebook App, check out Facebook Help.
