Default 5.0.5 software: navigation doesn't lower music volume?

I think I've noticed this change since upgrading the software to version 5.0.5 (2022 XC60 T8). Previously, when Google called out navigation directions, it would temporarily lower the volume of the radio or Bluetooth audio while speaking, then restore normal volume.

However recently it seems that the directions are spoken without lowering the music volume, making them more difficult to hear.

It's not a showstopper, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this? Could there be some setting I need to update?

Thanks!

Default Guidance from another forum

Delete cache and data of Maps:

1] Settings
2] System
3] Applications
4] Application Authorizations
5] Google Maps
6] Storage Space

Will one have to redo all the settings in Maps after deleting the cache and data? I was able to hear the navigation voice when I adjusted the volume for Navigation in volume settings, but it would be better to have the "other sounds" mute when Navigation directions are given.

No guarantees from me but there was no mention of losing data.
