iPad can I listen to music while playing games?

[Matcha]

I recently got an iPad Pro and I noticed when I go into games the music from Apple Music stops, is this across all games?
I’m a bit disappointed I can’t play my own music in games

I heard that in the iPad OS 15 Beta people are able to listen to multiple audio sources, so that's probably coming but you'd have to get it on iPad OS 15 in the Fall.

Try turning it back on VIA Control Center when you enter a game.

Saw the same over on Reddit where a user was doing it with the beta.

I've noticed this is different per game. And I believe, based on how the system seems to work, that there is essentially a dedicated music channel (separate from like a sound fx channel). Some games have an option for me to turn of the in-game music with a different toggle for in-game sound fx. And on those games, if I toggle off their music, my own music will continue playing without interruption; the sound fx from the game play on top just fine. But when the game's music toggle is left enabled, starting the game ends any music I had playing, even if the game doesn't yet have its own music started.

What's more annoying is ads on webpages that have sound aimed at that music channel. Nothing is more obnoxious than my music being stopped because a web ad took over the channel.
