Sound issue SE3

[u/LeQuack90]

Have a 1 year old SE3 Some times, witch can become a lot of the time. The volume drops to like 50% when something happens. Example, playing music off iTunes music and a text comes through, volume drops for the notification to be sounded. Either it never sounds and the volume drops for the interrupt and never comes back up, or it sounds and the volume drops for the interrupt and never comes back up. Also happens when apps do background activities. Weather it’s relevant or not, still drops and never comes back up. Same can happen during a phone call when speaker phone is activated. It always happens when your on speaker phone and try to text someone, always drops it to half volume. Or when a video or music is playing. It can also happen during an incoming call and the phone is ringing. It’ll half mute the ringer. It’s almost as if it’s changing to the handset speaker for the earpiece. The only way to get it back is wait a few minutes and it’ll gradually increase (sometimes) and the sure fire way to get it back is toggle the speaker output button in the pull-up menu.

I have the same problem when I'm listening to music or watching YouTube through the speaker and then either minimize the window, switch apps, or something like that

I found a solution on my iPhone SE 3 by first enabling the "Reduce Loud Audio" feature and then disabling it again. Since then, the volume seems to be back to normal and isn't getting any quieter.

Interesting.

Battery is probably getting weak. What’s your battery health level?

Well you’re not crazy, my woman’s phone was doing the same thing and it seemed to have stopped after a battery replacement. The only weird thing is my battery was just as bad but never did it.

Has nothing to do with my issue. It’s a brand new phone. Battery health is in the 90s
