This is how your screen will look like.
Now we need to put the Audio Layer underneath the Fullscreen Layer.
Click on Audio layer from the right hand side and drag it down so the Fullscreen Layer is on top.
Last step is to open the main playlist and mute the sound all the media items that have no sound – you do this so that when content with no sound plays, the audio track to also play in the background.
