Google Pixel users recently got the June update for their devices. This update brought several issues that need to be fixed quickly, and one of the issues is ‘Google Pixel volume lowers automatically.’
For several weeks, the Volume has been automatically turning down or lowering on some Google Pixel devices, with no apparent explanation.
Google Pixel Volume Lowers Automatically
Currently, the volume control on some Google Pixel devices does not work correctly. There have been many reports since the June update, but there are similar reports after May.
In most cases, due to a bug, Google Pixel device volume is automatically reduced or lowered while users are enjoying multimedia content. Volume reduction is typically around 20%.
How to Fix Google Pixel Volume keeps going down?
This section provides several step-by-step instructions on fixing the Volume that keeps going down on your Google Pixel Android phone.
1. Turn Adaptive Sound Off
For some users, the problem goes away by turning off the ‘Adaptive Sound‘ option in the system settings. However, this option is only available for the Google Pixel 6 series.
2. Stop pressing the phone volume down button
The most basic fixes should be discussed first. Do not press the Volume down button. You may have held your phone incorrectly and accidentally pressed a button. If you have earbuds with touchpads, you can lower the volume button this way.
3. Media Volume Limiter
Your phone’s volume protection feature may be the cause. The Volume may keep turning down without you realizing it. You’ll know this is the problem when you see a message that the Volume is too high and dangerous.
You can disable this feature, but ask yourself if you should. After all, it protects the eardrum.
Here’s what to do:
- Launch the Settings application
- Go to Sounds & Vibrations
- Choose a volume option
- Select the three vertical dots in the right corner of the screen
- Select Media Volume Limiter and set it to Off.

If you’re experiencing Volume dropping issues by itself on your Google Pixel phones, it could be the headphones or the headphone jack, especially the headphone jack without controls. Make sure the headphones you use are compatible with your Pixel phone.
Due to electronic differences, your Android device might think it is receiving a volume-down signal. Also, make sure the headphones are of good quality for your device. Try connecting other headphones that work best and are compatible with your Google Pixel device.
