Galaxy S26

I posted this topic earlier this year but it has been archived, so here we go again.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.

Any other solutions? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I’d check the notification sounds too. If it’s 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.

I have all notification sounds off. The only time I hear a sound is when my phone rings.

Ahh okay, then yeah, that rules that out. If your notification sounds are already off and the media still dips for a few seconds, I’d be curious if it happens with Bluetooth too or just the phone speaker. That might help narrow it down.

I thought this issue was fixed but it's still happening. I can't seem to figure out how to fix it

The same thing is happening to me too, but it usually happens to me when I send a message and for example I'm watching Netflix and I go out to answer a message and return to Netflix the sound goes down and after about 3 or 4 seconds of normalization, if anyone knows how to stop that please help me please

Is there nobody at SAMSUNG who can solve an issue with a SAMSUNG phone? Seriously, nobody has a solution to this?

Edit...when I posted this response, my phone audio decreased while I got the notification....unreal.
