When it mutes all it is actually doing is turning your volume all the way down. You can easily solve that by turning up the volume on your phone with the volume buttons on your phone. Once you do that then go into settings in the app and close to the top of the settings you will find the choice for muting at startup of the app. Just double tap and the check mark goes away and it will no longer mute the sound when you start up the app.
