Audio volume level

The car is fantastic and the amenities are beyond compare...hard to find issues, at last within my experience of owning (less than 30 days)

That being said, the "lowest level" radio volume, regardless of input, seems to be at a volume level near equal to a soft conversation. Recognizing we see the volume level bar indicating the last bars before mute (3 bars is minimum for some reason), has anyone experienced this or figured out a way to lower even the lowest level setting to music can be a slight back ground level without competing with conversations in car

Had the dealer investigate and they had no answer other than "that's how it is"

Thoughts?

Yes I am also annoyed by this on days when I am tired and I just want minimum background music. Having said that, it vastly differs based on the source.
On most TuneIn stations, it works well. Via Bluetooth it is too loud, and radio station volumes are all over the spectrum. Understandably, there isn't a way for the system to keep everything level.

I’m on Spotify 100% of the time. Can easily get the volume to barely audible.

When in Spotify do you get album art?

And, has it ever happened that volume is very low and on parking car and restarting after a few minutes situation is back to normal?

You might also have enabled the automatic volume adjustment, art seems to be pulled from a 3rd party DB

No album art. Volume is always where I have it.

I have random album art on Spotify - sometimes it matches the cover from the app, sometimes it doesn't, and many times there is no art at all

What about the resident audio inputs in the car, Radio, Siruis, etc. Not the apps from the phone.

Does the volume level appear to be loud for a minimum level?
