Weird one this.

Wanted a cheap tablet just to play games on inetad of a phone and use for browsing etc.

Found a good deal on Galaxy Tab A7 Lite.

Had two now and both had same issue.

Once you see an advert in game, the sound in the app disappears. So you start an app, play, ad pops up, sound in ad, close ad, sound in app disappears, close app, sound is fine.

Seems to me like there is some issue with the signals being sent to the app when the app closes.

Not a direct fix but you could try working around it by setting private dns. Search for private dns in your settings and add "dns.adguard.com" without the "".

Note this will stop some links opening from certain apps for eg the 1st links in a search which are marked as adverts in a Google search. I have it set permanently and just work around thinks not opening directly the only ones I notice are as above and some links from Hotukdeals. For the benefits it's well worth any little inconvenience. No guarantee it will block your game ads though.
