Ringer volume setting broken after 16.3 upgrade fix.

This may have happened with an earlier upgrade, but I’ve just noticed that with “change with buttons“ set to off, the ringer volume slider in settings has no effect. Instead, the the buttons on the side control the ringer volume and media volume together. In other words to set your ringer volume all the way up, you have to turn the media volume all the way up with the buttons. Likewise setting the media volume all the way down with the buttons will reduce the ringer volume to zero as well as the media volume.

When you set “change with buttons” to on, the only difference is that when you use the side buttons and media is not playing, you hear your ringtone. The buttons still adjust both the media volume and ringer volume together. So turning down your media volume to a lower level will also reduce the volume of the ringer.

powering the phone off and on again fixed this
