Start with foreground playback and observe backgrounding, locking and recovery separately.

## 1. Establish foreground audio and output

Choose an owned playable local track and record title, artist, audible anchor and the confirmed output: speaker, headphones or another device. Test play, pause and resume in the foreground at a volume suitable for your surroundings. Resolve foreground silence by checking file and output before background testing. Preserve the original and normal queue; one clear sample is enough, without multiple accessory connections. Mark uncertain routing unchecked rather than infer the real destination of sound from an icon.

## 2. First switch to a page without competing audio

While music plays normally, leave 调调’s foreground and switch to an ordinary page that does not play audio or video, such as an existing text note. Observe whether music continues and record switch time and sound identity before and after. Do not start with another music or video app: its audio session could change the result and obscure background behaviour. Switching views is not force-quitting 调调 from the task list. Do not substitute force-quit for normal backgrounding and then conclude that background playback is unsupported.

## 3. Observe continuity within the same background round

Listen to a recognisable passage while the app is in the background, then return and verify current track and progress. Evidence of continuity is actual sound and before/after identity; a later progress position alone does not prove there was no interruption. Record an intentional pause and its time separately from an unexpected stop. For a brief change, retain approximate position and the action underway. Do not report an exact millisecond dropout without measurement. This task is neither professional audio-latency testing nor a long-duration stability measurement.

## 4. Verify identity before locking

Confirm the same track is playing in the foreground, lock the device normally, and check whether lock-screen media controls refer to 调调 and this track. The system may retain another session, so verify title and sound rather than accept any media card as the correct target. Lock-screen controls are published, but system layouts vary; a screenshot’s fixed position is not universal. If no identifiable controls appear, preserve the actual state. Do not press unrelated hardware buttons repeatedly to manufacture the expected screen.

## 5. Compare one pause and one resume

Pause through the clearly identified lock-screen control and verify that sound stops. Resume and verify the track again. Keep the action and audible result separate: a changed button appearance alone does not prove silence. If a natural track ending occurs meanwhile, record it; the next track’s sound is not unconditional evidence of resuming the same item. Retain the current comfortable volume rather than keep raising it to detect a response. Leave unobserved actions pending and do not extrapolate two operations to all gestures or accessory buttons.

## 6. Record output changes separately

For an optional headphone-versus-speaker comparison, save the first round before changing output through the system’s available controls. Verify the real audible destination and perform a brief playback check again. Backgrounding, locking and changing headphones simultaneously do not establish a single cause. Record what actually happens to pause state or volume after a disconnect or output switch, rather than promise fixed behaviour for all equipment. Pairing and routing are separate from the file; do not delete music or change unrelated devices to diagnose them.

## 7. Separate competing audio from file issues

If music stops after opening another media app, record whether that app began playing and compare it with the silent-text-page baseline before condemning all background support. Foreground silence calls for track, pause and output checks. Only lock-screen controls failing calls for session identity and system-state checks. Change one condition, restore the original output and retry. Record calls, notifications or other interruptions separately instead of an unexplained “suddenly stopped.” When the triggering conditions were not captured, leave the cause unknown.

## 8. Unlock, return and complete three records

Unlock, return to 调调 and verify the desired track, progress, volume and output. Retain foreground, background and lock-screen observations, plus any separate output comparison; each needs a clear action and real sound evidence. Acceptance means distinguishing ordinary backgrounding, force-quit, system media-control target and routing, rather than stating only “background supported.” Recheck necessary conditions after system, accessory or source changes. One small sample is not long-term certification of every device and the whole collection, and no unperformed physical-device actions are claimed.
