Sound suddenly too low to really hear

I am a Waze user for years. Yesterday out of the blue sound is very low.

Android, pixel 6 pro.

I have adjusted volume in and out of app.

No android auto, sound plays to phone speaker (definitely sound on other apps)

Have tried different voices.

Have cleared catch and eventually reinstalled.

I never made any changes which leads me to believe Waze updated and this may be a bug?

Same here on my Samsung S10+... right after the most recent Waze Android update. Then I read the prior comment and toggled Play Sound to Speaker to off. It worked! Changed it back to on and it continued to work UNTIL I shut down Waze and restarted. Upon restart volume was again too low. Keeping it set to off does work when restarting; but I am concerned that this will cause the sound to come from my car system over Bluetooth, which is not what I want. I prefer the sound to work properly from my phone speaker. Hope that this is corrected soon with a new update.

Bug work around - if you TURN OFF "Play sound to phone speaker" the audible directions will return to your phone speaker. At least they did on my Samsung S24 Ultra.

Thanks! The waze volume just became barely audible a few days ago. I tried the above fix and it worked! I was so frustrated. Thanks 😊
