Other audio preventing SWG sound from playing bug....NOT FIXED. Please help.

I've tried everything and Don't know what to do at this point. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the game. I have DELETED all apps that have sound,  Youtube, Spotify, music player. Phone is not on silent. It is not on airplane mode. Still, the in game audio will not play and the message saying other background sound is preventing swg sound remains on. I can't even toggle the in game sound off. The on/off buttons are grayed out. I am on iOS 18.0.01
