Android auto and Waze....When Waze speaks directions, radio volume ducks down. 50% of the time, stays down and Waze does not release radio volume back

So I have been dealing with this issue since I bought my 2020 RAM 1500.It's a crap shoot as to whether or not Waze releases the ducked down audio back to the preset listening level after it speaks a direction. I have not been able to pinpoint if this is with SPECIFIC directions or not. It did this with my Pixel 5a5G phone and now with my Pixel 9, it continues as before. I can't be the only one experiencing this. To get it to return to normal again, I have to shut the infotainment system and turn it back on. Then, radio is back to preset level. What gives?

Yep, that happens. Also, you can turn it's volume up/down while it is speaking using the volume knob. But the other issue is a bug that's been there and will never be fixed.

I had that issue with Waze on Iphone. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Fixed the problem.
