I found the related file and comment that line works for me. Now I can play and stop sounds on background on IOS.

if (_isBackgrounded && ![_kernelAudioSessionManagerDelegate isActiveForModule:self]) {
//return UMErrorWithMessage(@"This experience is currently in the background, so the audio session could not be activated.");
