So true! It’s like the updates come with their own set of bugs. Have you tried resetting your app preferences?

I had this downer with the app called Kika Keyboard. My volume kept dropping, and uninstalling it made a world of difference!

Wow, I didn’t think an app like that would affect volume. I’ll try that if I experience it again.

I suspect that Bluetooth connectivity issues could contribute as well. When I connect to my car, the volume sometimes lowers unexpectedly.

That’s exactly what happens to me! I guess Bluetooth really has its quirks. Have you found a fix?

I haven’t but disabling ‘Absolute Volume’ in the developer options is one suggestion I’ve come across. It might help!

Every time I update an app, I keep my fingers crossed that it won’t interfere with my volume settings. It’s like playing Russian roulette!

So true! I always find my sound settings are off after an update. It’s maddening!

If all else fails, try using a volume booster app. They don’t always work, but it’s worth a shot! Just make sure it’s from a trusted source.

I’ve given up on apps! Nowadays, I just keep my phone on full volume all the time—who needs discretion anyway, right? :smile:

That’s one way to handle it! But what about battery life? Does it take a hit?

32

I noticed my volume was always dropping too! Have you checked your accessibility settings? Sometimes those can affect volume behavior.

33

That’s a good point! I hadn’t thought about that aspect. What specific settings should I look at?

You should see if ‘Sound Amplifier’ is enabled, as it could interfere with volume levels. Try toggling it off.

Thanks for that! I’ll check it out. Are there any other accessibility options that might impact volume?

The ‘Audio Focus’ setting can also play a big role. If an app takes focus, it can lower other audio outputs. Check your app settings for any interruptions.

Is that why my music cuts out when I receive notifications? Sounds frustrating!

38

Exactly! Having apps like messaging or alarms with audio focus can mess with your music playback. It may help to adjust those notification settings.

I’ll give that a try! It’s nice to know there are options to manage this better.

Another option is to check if ‘Do Not Disturb’ is turned on. It can also regulate sound levels across your device.
