P: Lightroom tries to take over audio output while I'm editing

Does anyone have issues with the following example... 

I'm editing photos on Lightroom, listening to podcasts or music on my iPhone with AirPods. The AirPods keep connecting to Mac, pausing my audio, beacuse of Lightroom. I have no clue why. No other app does this. But Lightroom effectively commands audio device despite no actual sounds.

Having the same issue. Such a weird bug. I've ended up just turning off bluetooth on my mac to prevent the switching. Not a perfect solution, but good enough for me when editing

It's the end of May. Is there an update on when this will bug will be worked on? I've found it also prevents me from using the media keys on my Mac as well. I can't play/pause or skip songs when this happens.
