Media Volume Automatically Mutes

[GIRLaxy]

This issue started to happen all of a sudden the other day. I didn't install anything new around the time this happened. I've looked into it. Tried every suggestion I saw, but the issue still continues on my Note 8.

Even when playing a game, the media volume would just mute.
When I go from the home screen or an app to something else and back, the media volume would automatically mute itself most times.

Anyone know of a fix?

I'm not sure about anything other than games, but if you're using game launcher, is this setting turned on? It would mute your game even if your media volume is turned up

I've never been to that game launcher till now, but yeah, that setting is disabled.
