S8+ going to silent mode when driving

[garyft]

So for the last few weeks whenever two conditions are met, 1)phone in pocket and 2) in a moving vehicle, my phone sets all sounds to silent. I have searched but I can't seem to find a setting that causes this. Any ideas?

Is Easy Mute on? https://www.lifewire.com/samsung-easy-mute-4157674

It was. I've turned it off and see if that takes care of it. Thanks!

Thanks for the follow up. Glad to know what @B. Diddy suggested helped.

Hmm, from what you said, it looks like it's not yet clear if this was the solution. Did it work?

Apparently that wasn't the solution. I've turned off Easy Mute and this is still happening. I've uninstalled Android Auto and it's still muting everything. I'm assuming it has something to do with moving a certain speed telling the phone that I'm in a moving vehicle. Very frustrating.

Does this happen in Safe Mode as well? https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ng-galaxy-s8-into-safe-mode%2F&token=xSDaMQFc

I'll test and post the result.
