W10P, music still play when app is closed

I have 2 different apps for play radio and one to play music. All 3 of them keep playing when I turn off the apps. To turn off the sound I need to re-open the app and press stop.

I have been looking all over the options of the phone (Lumia 950) to stop this behavior. And I could not find information on the net.

I too don't understand this concept. You have to install one of the "stop the music" apps from store, with it you can kill music or stream anytime.

To turn off the sound when music is playing, press the volume button and hit the pause button in the middle.

I believe its the way Windows Phone functions. You're killing the app's UI, but you aren't killing it's audio process. It doesn't make sense to me from a UX standpoint, but I understand how they're separate technically.
