Music from my iPhone pauses when starting Monologue.

I have a good USB microphone connected to my Mac, which is the default input device in my macOS system settings and in Monologue's settings.

When I'm playing music from my iPhone to my AirPods and I start Monologue on my Mac, the music on my iPhone pauses. I have music interruption disabled in Monologue's settings, so I do not understand why this is happening.

I suppose it may be a bug somehow because Monologue is getting access to the microphone, makes Mac do something with the AirPods since they are magically connected to all devices at the same time. It's quite annoying, I would prefer the music to just continue, especially as it's playing on my iPhone, so Monologue shouldn't affect it.
