Volume Boost stops working as it should

[sliceanddice9]

Description

Using Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 I like to enable Volume Boost for podcasts to increase the vocal loudness frequency range without having to max out the media volume slider/rocker on my actual smartphone, but I notice that after 35-40 minutes or so the 'Volume Boost' functionality seems to gradually wear off. In other words the volume ouput simply isn't as loud as it was before.

I know it is not just my ears or my imagination because when I go to the playback effects and toggle the 'Volume Boost' option off and then back on again - doing so restores the loudness intensity back to what you expect from Volume Boost.

This volume inconsistency or fluctuation bug does not happen for podcasts where 'Volume Boost' is disabled, so this feels like a problem with the feature itself.

I'd like to keep using 'Volume Boost' as I find it handy, but the volume softening after 35-40 minutes or so, is quite annoying.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Go to Playback Effects
2. Select Volume Boost
3. After 35-40 minutes of playback the 'Volume Boost' starts to become more quite.

Using Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 I like to enable ‘Volume Boost’ to increase the volume of the podcasts instead of increasing the system volume on my smartphone, but I notice that after 1 hour or so the ‘Volume Boost’ functionality seems to slowly stop.

I know it’s not my ears or my imagination because when I go to the ‘playback effects’ and toggle the ‘Volume Boost’ setting off and then back on again – doing so instantly restores the loudness that ‘Volume Boost’ provides.

This volume inconsistency or fluctuation bug does not happen for the podcasts I’m subscribed to where ‘Volume Boost’ is disabled, so this feels like a problem with the actual ‘Volume Boost’ feature itself.
