I posted this topic earlier this year but it has been archived, so here we go again.
On my new S26, when I'm playing audio (thru several different apps), notifications (emails, texts, etc) cause the audio to decrease for a couple seconds. This issue went away a few months ago but it's come back again in the last few days.
I've tried this 'solution' but it doesn't work:
Good Lock--->Sound assistant--->Multisound---> All apps. Again, this is NOT fixing the issue.
Yeah, Iโd check the notification sounds too. If itโs happening with different apps, it might just be the notifications lowering the media volume for a sec. Try muting the notification sounds and see if the audio still dips. If it does, then yeah, something else is going on.
Ahh okay, then yeah, that rules that out. If your notification sounds are already off and the media still dips for a few seconds, Iโd be curious if it happens with Bluetooth too or just the phone speaker. That might help narrow it down.
I think I fixed it. Went to Audio ducking setting and turned that off. Seems to be ok now, but another issue came up! I noticed my phone is now playing two audio sources at the same time. It's happening with Spotify and YouTube music. I've never run across this before!
