how to play music while playing roblox
Okay, so here’s the thing. I was trying to get my jam on while playing Roblox the other day, and it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be. So, I decided to figure it out and share my little journey with you all.
First, I fired up Roblox. No biggie there, just logged in and picked a game. But then, I wanted some background music. My usual go-to is Spotify, so I opened that up and hit play on my favorite playlist. But here’s where I hit a snag.
As soon as the Roblox game started, my music just stopped. It was like Roblox was hogging all the sound. I tried a few things like pausing and playing again, but nope, nothing worked. Roblox was just being a sound bully. I thought, “There’s gotta be a way around this.”
So, I started messing around with the settings. I went into the Roblox game settings, you know, the little gear icon. I poked around in the “Volume” section, thinking maybe I could adjust something there. I tried turning down the game volume, hoping it would let my music play. Still no dice. Roblox was silent, but so was my music.
Then I thought, “Maybe it’s Spotify.” I minimized Roblox and tried playing the music again. It worked fine outside of Roblox. So, the problem was definitely something to do with how Roblox and Spotify were interacting.

Next, I did what any sensible person would do – I started digging around the internet. I found a bunch of people with the same problem, and there were a few suggestions. One idea was to use a different music player. So, I tried using Windows Media Player, you know that old classic. I opened it up, dragged my playlist in, and hit play. Then, I switched back to Roblox.
And guess what? It worked! I could hear my music playing in the background while I was playing Roblox. It wasn’t the perfect solution, because I really prefer Spotify. But hey, at least I could play some music while playing Roblox.
Here’s what I learned from this little adventure:
- Roblox can be a bit of a sound hog and might stop other apps like Spotify from playing.
- Messing with the in-game volume settings in Roblox probably won’t fix it.
- Using a different music player, like Windows Media Player, might actually work.
So, there you have it. If you ever want to listen to music while playing Roblox, try using a different music player. It might just do the trick. It’s not a perfect fix, and it’s a bit clunky, but it gets the job done. Happy gaming and jamming!
