Can I get sound notifications on other apps to work when the square reader is in headphone jack?

Whenever my square reader is in the headphone jack of my iphone or ipad, it silences all other notifications on my device. Is there a way to get around this so that my other apps will ring?

Hi there.

 

The Square Reader requires access to your device’s headset jack to process credit cards. As a result, you cannot listen to music, take calls, record audio, or hear notifications while the Square Reader is inserted.

 

You can switch over to our new Square Contactless and Chip Card Reader, which connects to your device via Bluetooth rather than through the headset jack.
