# AVAudioSessionSetActiveFlags_NotifyOthersOnDeactivation

A flag that indicates that when your audio session deactivates, any audio sessions that your audio session interrupted can reactivate themselves.

```
var AVAudioSessionSetActiveFlags_NotifyOthersOnDeactivation: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

This flag works when passed in the `flags` parameter of the [`setActive(_:withFlags:)`](/documentation/AVFAudio/AVAudioSession/setActive(_:withFlags:)) instance method. You use this flag only when deactivating your audio session.
