Hi, all,  
I need your help, please.  
I need to know the status of the sound component when the app is running, I mean, is it active? Paused? Disabled? Do you know how can I do it?  
Thank you very much in advance. Best regards,

Are you wondering if you can play music/sound from another app while using a Thunkable app?

No, what I need is to know the sound component status -active, pause, disable- embedded in the Thunkable app I am writing.

Thank you for your help. Best regards,

Did you figure this out?

I am needing to the same, but can’t figure out how to test if a file is still playing or not.

It is not possible to query the status of the sound component.
