[Android Central Question]

I am using an LG Stylo 3 Plus. Whenever I play music or a video, the volume frequently drops, then comes back, then drops again, and repeats over and over again.

It is not the buttons being pressed. The phone will be sitting on my desk, untouched when this happens. Also, the slider that shows the volume level does not move.

It is not the headphones, speaker, or other external device or the cable that connects them. It does the same thing with the phone's built-in speaker.

It does it when I use Google Play Music, LG Music, YouTube, and any other sound-playing app that I have found. I think I may have noticed it during phone calls too, but I am not sure.

Have you rebooted? Cleared your cache partition? Still occurs? Put in safe mode. If gone, it's an installed app. If it remains, it's the phone itself, whether software or the volume button or something between you will need help at this point.
