I have one game scene, with background music. When the tab is out of focus, i’ll restart the game by using this.scene.restart();music.stop().

The problem is when i restart the game, the background music get doubled, it is very obvious there’s two same bgm where one is slower than the other. The more times i restart the game, the more bgm echoing. The same goes for some tween animation…

Any idea how may i solve it?

Are you calling music.stop(); in your update function?

Yes, i have something like this in my update function

update() {  
if (restart) {  
music.stop();  
this.scene.restart();  
restart = 0;  
}  
}

Depending on how your code is structured, you may need to specify the object of music and try `this.music.stop();`

Turn out i’d been declaring the same music twice.

var music = this.sound.add(‘music’);

Problem solved… Thanks!
