iPhone 6 Music Volume Drop After Notification

I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 8 (version 8.1). Usually, when I receive a notification while listening to music via headphones, the volume of the song drops slightly for the notification sound to alert me and then returns to normal. I've recently noticed that it often seems to get "stuck" in a low volume and either goes back to normal after waiting 3-10 minutes or when I receive another notification. Has anybody else had this problem? can anyone give suggestions on how to permanently fix this problem? Thanks!

This has seems to always been an issue for the iPhone as evident by this post on stackexchange. apple will not fix this issue because we keep paying for substandard hardware and software. Anyway I to have reported it to apple via their bug report feedback page just like the thousands of other users before me and this ridiculous iPhone 6+. I think if it weren't for my extensive iTunes collection I would purchase an android or windows phone.

It has something to do with watching videos in other apps...

Ive noticed it when i watch videos on Facebook and then i try to listen to music the songs sound low, unless you fast forward or rewind the song a couple of seconds, it gives you your "normal" volume. But once the next song plays goes back down to low volume.

So i closed my Facebook app and re-opened it,(didn't watch videos) the volume problem was "fixed". all songs played with regular volume.


Hope this kinda helps you guys.

I myself am experiencing the same issue it's driving me insane, I have to close Facebook in order for the sound to return.

They need to address this issue the sad part is that in reading these post I haven't seen not one reply from Apple support.

Please fix this issue it should be as easy your taken our money, you should address this problem. 😠
