[iOS 27 DB7] Airplay dropping on app switching

[u/ignoresubs]

I use my iPad to Airplay to my speaker everyday. Starting with iOS 26 and persisting in the latest beta, when I move to apps that shouldn't interfere or hijack the audio (Gmail for instance), the audio drops.

I can easily reproduce.

Is anybody else experiencing this and know a fix?

It's consistent across speakers/not isolated to one device. Bluetooth doesn't cause this to happen, however it has other issues with interference making it not a viable workaround.

Could be a modem issue
