Describe the bug
I am using Windows, and the "Pause media" option in Preferences is not working for me. I have tried it with Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora. OpenWhispr otherwise functions normally, but the music is never paused.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Enable "Pause media".
  2. Start a music player.
  3. Press the transcription hotkey.
  4. The music keeps playing.

Expected behavior
The music should pause when I begin transcription and resume when I complete it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):
OpenWhispr 1.6.6
Windows 11 Pro 25H2
