Description

The phone's volume buttons currently only adjust the spoken instruction volume if toggled _while an instruction is playing_. Ideally we could configure the audio session differently so that the spoken instructions' volume can be adjusted at any time, as it can be difficult to adjust the volume during a relatively short instruction.

Research direction

Start by tracing the audio session configuration and spoken-instruction playback path in the iOS navigation code. The change is complete when the phone's volume buttons adjust spoken-instruction volume even when no instruction is currently playing; verify the behavior during turn-by-turn directions.
