iPhone 13 Pro audio zoom

I enjoy recording concerts with my iPhone 13 Pro. The Audio Zoom feature often results in poor sound when I zoom in toward something. Is de-selecting in Settings > Camera "Record Stereo Sound" the best solution to the audio problem? That seems like a high price to pay in sound quality (stereo sound) to avoid an audio problem (poor sound when zooming).

iOS 16.2 Gapless Playback Is anyone else having issues with gapless playback on iOS 16.2 (I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, if that's relevant). Every couple of songs in a gapless album, I'll get a moment of silence between tracks that's really annoying when the songs are supposed to flow smoothly into each other. The issue was in 15.4 and also a few years back, so it's annoying that it keeps coming back.

IK Multimedia IRIG noise problem after IOS upgrade on iPhone 12 Pro I have a problem when using the following setup: (a) iPhone 12 Pro running IOS 16 (from the first to the latest 16.2) (b) Tonebridge app (c) IK Multimedia iRIG device + Lightning to 3.5mm jack convertor (d) Gibson lead guitar When playing the samples from tone-bridge, sound is perfect. When playing the guitar however, sound is crackly. It was perfect before IOS 16 (Same setup). Same setup works fine using Android phone insteat of iPhone. I posted under a different title - and got a few people posting similar issues. Does anyone know if this issue is sorted, or perhaps if Apple is releasing an update to solve this?

Overall surprising lack to volume control. I am new to iPhone and switched for a variety of reasons however am I missing something? Is there seriously still only a single adjustment for volume control? The seeming lack of control, or at the very least, the difficulty in adjusting is pronounced and surprising. I cannot find any setting to separate out media vs. ringer or other notifications. Volume on this latest iPhone are a decade behind what my vehicle is even capable of... well it is except when I connect my iPhone as it corrupts and prevents the vehicle from its full functionality. Calling using a speakerphone yields highly consistently inconsistent results where the ring volume at max is nearly inaudible but the call volume will blow your ears out. Lowest media volume is still double what's necessary making using it unpleasant for any loved ones at night. Is there at least an aftermarket app to fix what Apple presumably isn't capable of?
