Alerts Soiund Only When App is Not Focus Samsung A9+

I do not get an alert sound if the HamAlert app is in the foreground. If it is in the background, the sounds are fine.
This means I have to bring the app foward to see who triggered the alert, and then send it to the background to receive any future alerts sounds.

If I stay in the app (forground), I see the alerts just fine, but it does not trigger a sound.

Aha! If I blank the screen, I get the Alerts sound. Only if the screen is on and I am in the App, I am missing the sounds. My other tablet behaves the same way.

If the display times out (goes black), I get the Alert Sounds when I’m in the app, but if the display is “live” I do not get the Alert Sounds.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing – that is the way it is implemented.

Thanks, that’s a relief!
