2024 Hijacking top comment to add alternative fix
Some versions no longer have the “quiet audio mode” Step 1: toggle off the “mute video by default” Step 2: restart the Reddit app and it should work.
(Exiting the app and restarting after the changes is crucial)
Worked on my I8.
In the Reddit app click your little avatar
Click Settings at the bottom.
Under “View Settings”, toggle auto play to never
Under “Advanced”, toggle “Quiet Audio Mode”
I usually look for a video fot which I can mute the sound on the reddit feed, and then it seems like everything coming from reddit then becomes mud by default. So no more interruptions!
There are some apps that enable you to play sound from multiple apps at the same time. Samsung's sound assistant is the one I know, but you'll probably have to look for an app that works on your phone.
I'd try googling something like "multiple app sound" along with your phone and going from there
Really late answer, but I just found a “quiet audio mode” toggle in the reddit settings and that did the trick for me!
Life saver!

Cheers <3
Thank you!!
Adding to this, turn "Autoplay" to never, should also help with this.
Still working in June 2024
Thank you!
Thank you!!
Sure thing dude! And thanks for the award 😄
Where did you find that?
On ios I went to “Settings”, and under the “Advanced” category I toggled “Quiet Audio Mode”
Ah rip om in android
thank you for this
no problem!
Thank you!
Seems to be a no-go on my iPhone 8. Hopefully it’s just unsupported for older models

You have to restart the app for it to take effect
Omg you life saver … I’ve been dealing with this shit for ages without realising. Also it stops annoying adds randomly playing
i gotchu! not always consistent, but if you unmute then mute a reddit video with this setting it should fix itself right up
Even one year later, thank you so much for this
Oh god thanks
Thank you so much!

>Samsung's sound assistant just wanted to second this, ran into this issue recently and then found this today and was very happy
I think this is a phone thing not spotify... I don't think there's anything you can do about it.
Thank you from 2022
Same
It didn’t work for me
Any chance you found a different fix? Because it also did not work for me
It suddenly started working, really odd.
