Hey @Utkarshn10
After thoroughly reviewing the code, I found the 'handlePause' and 'handleStart' functions and associated state changes a little confusing in the "focusSoundCard.js" file.

LIke, handlePause function is setting 'isPaused' state false, which is counterintuitive as it's pausing the timer. Also, in handleStart function 'isPaused' is set to true, but the timer is not paused.

Can you please explain their intended logic? I can modify but I'm afraid it might break the core logic of timer.

[Utkarshn10]

Hey @KaushikKundu the intended aim of having handle pause was to handle the management of audio when the audio is paused (not closed), so that audio starts from where it was paused. While handle start takes care of audio being started and closed.

Note : by close here I mean when the user closes the card.

but I see, that in handleStart function, IsPaused is set to true, it also checks and starts the timer.
Specifically, why IsPaused is set to true here?
const handleStart = () => {
setIsActive(true);
setIsPaused(true);
if (timer === 0) {
countRef.current = setInterval(() => {
setTimer((timer) => timer + 1);
}, 1000);
}
};

I believe this line might be causing the issue of timer.

[KaushikKundu]

Yeah, guess so. I saw same kind of counterintuitive logic in other parts. Lets see if I can fix this.
