Here is the problem with the "Play sound via: Play on phone speaker" setting. With both "mute during calls" and "pause spoken audio" turned off, I noticed that if I have airpods in and they are being used as the device's default audio settings, I will hear all Waze alerts, as expected, on the phone's speaker.

However, if I'm on a call with the airpods, then all alerts and spoken audio are absent. I would like to hear my alerts and directions from the phone's speaker while I'm on calls with my airpods. However, my experience is quite different. It seems to me that having the "Play on phone speaker" setting active while being on a phone call over bluetooth is equivalent to having "mute during calls" turned on...? Is this correct? And if so, then why do I even have the option to keep the "mute during calls" slider turned off while "play on phone speaker" is turned on and the device is on a call over bluetooth? Seems that the "mute during calls" slider should automatically turn itself on whenever a person is on a call and the "play on phone speaker" setting is active.
