Problem putting together shortcut

By Danielle, 23 July, 2022

iOS and iPadOS

Hello,

I'm trying to put together a shortcut to turn on and choose from the background sounds options.

I have tried to do this based on Thomas's wonderful demonstration.

Firstly, I put in the menu and populated three fields for the menu options.
Then, I added the actions to change sound to corralate with the menu options.
Maybe this is where I'm wrong.
On Thomas's demonstration, he was using RSS feeds so obviously it's different, but where he added RSS links, I added change sound to, and then chose the sound I want.
However, When I run the shortcut, and choose the sound I want from the menu, the sound will only stay playing for about two seconds, and then it will default back to the sound that comes last on the menu.
I hope I am making myself clear.
Anyway, the crux is, I have no idea how to get it to behave how I want it too, and was wondering if anyone can help please?

Thanks,

Danielle

Hi.

obviously, I can't be exactly sure unless I see your shortcut, but I don't think you're actually doing anything wrong based on my testing. What I've found seems to work is to turn background sounds off before your menu and then turn them back on after the menu with the set background sounds action. Sure, it's not ideal since it'll stop the noise while you're choosing, but it does seem to work.

Let me know if this helps or if you need any more details.
