How do I show admob ad and mute all background music?

I'm displaying an admob ad after 3 deaths. Everytime the ad is played successfully, it seems to "mute" all of my current bg music and sound effects. Like completely silent. The sounds returns after I load the ad a second time. Not sure if this a bug or not. This problem seems to be related to this with no solution: construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/general-discussion-17/admob-messing-sounds-119443

Outcome I'm aiming for:

• Play bg music at the start of layout
• Mute music if ad is playing.
• Unmute music if ad is not running

Maybe the video didn't complete properly and the event never returned true. You can check this with something other than muting audio to test it. There is another event I think where video doesn't complete which you can use to compare.

It's strange how this bug effects some people. I really don't understand it. maybe it's the new beta release?.. I just recently asked about this as well. Muting and unmuting doesn't work.

This is my steps:

Global boolean:(plays ad every 2 rounds)=true

Start of layout/is interstitial NOT loaded > Create interstitial ad, unmute sound.

Toggle boolean

On interstitial failed to load > Create interstitial ad

Lives=1/Boolean=true/is interstitial ad loaded > mute sound, Show interstitial ad

layout restarts

How about does anyone know how I can migrate/downgrade to version 197.2? I can't open my file since it's saved on version 198.

Yeah, I'm guessing some changes were made to admob and this issue is a result of that. Please let me know once you have found a solution!

maximojo have you submitted a bug report? Why does it seem like nobody else is effected by this? I even started a brand new project to see if maybe I messed it up while working on my project. but it even happens on a brand new project. After interstitial ad, audio is gone.

I'm going to submit it soon! I just removed ads from the latest version of my game b/c the issue was stressing me out a lot hahaha
