Hi Damien I hope you’re doing well. I have a feature request that I believe could enhance the user experience even further. Currently, we have the “Separate Always Ducks + Ignore Mute” setting, which combines two functions into one. While this feature is useful, I think it would be fantastic if we could have the option to control these two settings separately. Separating “Separate Always Ducks” and “Ignore Mute” would offer users greater flexibility in customizing their audio experience within the app. This change could provide a more tailored experience to individual preferences and learning styles. (I prefer the app to always ignore the mute setting, but not reduced the current background audio.) I understand that you have a lot on your plate with Anki’s development, but I wanted to bring up this suggestion in the hope that it might be considered for a future update. Thank you for your hard work in making Anki an indispensable tool for learners like me. Thanks again! ---
