iPhone volume decreasing on its own

When I am listening to music, playing a game with sound, watching a video, or having sound be used by any app (SiriusXM, tik tok, etc) the sound has randomly been decreasing like it does when I would get a text message notification or something, but there is no notification that comes through, and then the music/sound comes back to where is was. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Hi Bkush04,


As the sound gets lower as if you received a notification, but you don't see anything, could you have a notification that doesn't have an alert? When you go to Settings > Notifications, for an app, you can have Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners turned off but still have Sound turned on. You can double check any app that doesn't show notifications are turned off and that doesn't have these features turned on. Check out Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch for more information.


Another thing to check is the output device. Does this happen when connected to multiple devices, such as using your speaker or connecting to a Bluetooth headphone. If it only happens when connected to one output type, see if that output has settings that could be causing this.


Hope this helps.


Have a good day.
