Missing permissions for playing Audio on Android 13+
The app doesn't require the right "Access Audio and Music" and thus, the integrated music player does not play any audios on Android 13+.
What permission is exactly missing? The app accesses audio files through MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, which should give full control over files. can you check logs screen and see if there are any errors.
The log screen doesn't show errors. But I see that all my apps that play audio require , beside MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, also require "Music and Audio Access" (sorry I don't know the technical name, that's how it is shown in the Android settings). If I remove this permission, these apps don't play audio neither, even if they have MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. I think that is a new behaviour in Android 13+.
alright, thanks, I'll investigate..
Just tested in Android 15 (Samsung device) and the audio works fine. what device and android version are you using?
Android 13 on Unihertz Jelly Star
All the other Audio apps keep me asking at first start as in screenshot. Prism does [not.](

My device is Android 13 too and everything works fine, the permission you're talking about is needed when you want to access media files only. using MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE should give full control over files (including media files). I guess this is a device-specific issue.
I'll try to add an option to grant that permission and see if it helps.
