Do not lower or duck music volume whenever there is an announcement or prompt from Waze
Audio ducking or lowering music when Waze is making an announcement/voice prompt is freaking horrible.
Absolutely hate this forced feature as there is no way to disable it. It just spoils the whole driving and music experience.
Have separate volume adjustments for the background music app and Waze navigation volume. Or a toggle to disable/enable the ducking feature. So that music won't be forcefully lowered whenever there is a prompt or announcement.

These fun, narrow slot canyons offer tight squeezes and exciting twists. The colorful sandstone formations are a photographer's dream. It’s an adventurous hike suitable for agile hikers. https://utahcanyonhikes.com/

I support this!
This might be an audio player setting where Waze can't control the player. However, for those that are integrated, it should be able to be done. -

I have been using waze for a few years and I absolutely love it but my one complaint since I downloaded it is the audio ducking feature.
While driving I have often missed parts of songs or entire sentences from podcasts because of audio alerts. Ideally I would love a feature that pauses music playback when an alert comes on and resumes it once the alert is finished but realistically we should have an option to turn off the feature completely or adjust how much it turns down the volume of audio playback to send alerts.
It does get frustrating having my music practically muted for several seconds to warn me that a car is parked on the shoulder of the road and I'm sure it would be difficult to have a toggle for the feature at the very least. If this problem was fixed waze would be by far my favourite navigation app

Has anyone actually used Android Auto and Waze in the city; it irritatingly ducks the audio down for every turn by turn. Impossible to listen to the news, or music when it is continually interrupted. There needs to be an option to disable this; there needs to be choices.
