Abstract
A user device (24) includes an audio output device (58) and one or more processors (44). The one or more processors are configured to run an Operating System (OS—48), including running an OS component for coordinating outputting of audio generated by user applications (26) to the audio output device, to preload a user application, and, while the user application is in a preload state, to inhibit the audio generated by the preloaded user application using the OS component.
