Hello,
The issue you are experiencing with YouTube Music and Way2News is likely due to Audio Ducking or Multi-sound conflicts introduced in recent security updates. Since "Separate App Sound" is off, the system is struggling to balance the volume levels of two apps running simultaneously.
Please follow these steps to stabilize your audio experience:
🛠️ Step 1: Install & Configure "Sound Assistant" (Highly Recommended)
Samsung has a powerful module in the Galaxy Store called Sound Assistant (part of Good Lock). This app gives you individual control over every app's volume.
Download Sound Assistant from the Galaxy Store.
Open it and turn ON the feature called "Multi-sound".
Select "YouTube Music" or "All Apps". This prevents one app from lowering the volume of another app when both are open.
🛠️ Step 2: Disable "Media Volume Sync"
Sometimes the Bluetooth or system volume syncs incorrectly with specific media apps.
Go to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume.
Tap the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner.
Check if there is a Media Volume Limit or Sync option and reset it.
🛠️ Step 3: Clear "Media Storage" Cache
Since this started after a security update, the system's media controller might have some corrupted cache.
Go to Settings > Apps.
Tap the Filter/Sort icon and enable "Show system apps".
Search for "Media Store" or "Media UI".
Go to Storage > Clear Cache.
Do the same for the YouTube Music and Way2News apps.
🛠️ Step 4: Check Dolby Atmos Settings
Dolby Atmos sometimes tries to "equalize" sound based on content, which causes a sudden "blast" or "drop" when switching between music and news.
Go to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Quality and effects.
If Dolby Atmos is set to "Auto," try switching it to "Music" or "Voice" specifically, or turn it off to see if the fluctuation stops.
