Issues with alarms not overriding white noise app
I'm new to open source apps, and ran into an issue I can't seem to solve.
I wanted to switch to an open-source app for my alarm. However, the same issue happened with the five open-source apps I've tried (Chrono, Clock You, Fossify Clock, etc.).
I use a white noise app linked to a bluetooth speaker to sleep. It's set to stop when an alarm goes off, which it has done so far with my previous playstore app or with the built-in clock app. However, this does not happen with the open-source apps downloaded from f-droid (they layer into the white noise and don't wake me up). I figure it has to do with how my phone categorises those apps or what permissions it allows open-source apps, but with my limited knowledge I couldn't figure out what or if I could change in the settings or app info to make it work.
Before I give in and go back to an app that sells my data, I figured I'd ask if anyone has advice or knows how to troubleshoot this issue (or if you know of a good privacy-forward alarm app on the playstore).
