Device is unable to differentiate that the samsung soundbar is a bluetooth speaker, and thinks it is headphones, thereby triggering the audio volume reduction (i cannot disable this feature in canada); very annoying; have been on call with support and they have no solution - there should be a way to tell the phone what is headphones vs. speakers
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
All i know so far is it is a regulatory requirement - so we cannot shut off the feature, it's supposed to happen when we have headphones on if you are in a covered area (Canada, Europe, etc) however this shouldn't be happening wiht bluetooth speakers obviously.. they need to do something that let's us set our bluetooth connections to headphones or speakers..
Seems there has been an update. I am now able to select what “type” of device all my Bluetooth connections are. So this should solve!
I am having the same problem. I was listening to music all day and all of a sudden the volume would be decreased.
