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?

Having the same problem. When I play an app in the background (usually youtube) and check another app the volume will randomly lower and stay low for 30 - 60 seconds. There's no way to turn the volume back up. So, for instance, if the volume is at 100% then it will still show as being 100% despite an approximately 40% decrease in volume.
