I have an A3 8V (2018), and I have an issue with the sound only when a phone is connected via the USB cable (apple CarPlay) The volume goes quieter once the bass drops on a song, and then loud again. It drives me crazy! The volume also doesn't seem to change once it goes past half way on the volume dial.

I've had a look around and tried a fair few solutions, disabling 'sound check' and any EQ on my phone doesn't make a difference. I've also tried multiple cables, but it still persists.

My Audi does only have the basic sound package, so I don't expect it to be the best sounding bass in the world. But what's so annoying is that when a cable isn't connected and I only use Bluetooth/radio - the volume/bass is SO much louder and doesn't drop out at all! So I know the speakers/sub does have the capability.

Has anyone has this issue or found a solution? I really want to be able to use the CarPlay features, but because of this I find myself not wanting to.
