Radio intermittently not loud
So my 2021 2lt is doing something strange. Sometimes the stereo is just not loud. I can turn it up all the way and it's barely normal volume. Other times it's the same loudness at 1/3 volume. Am I the only one? I tried pulling over today and turning the car off and back on then the normally loud stereo was back to normal. This has happened about 6 times in my 800 miles.

If you have your phone connected, that could be causing a conflict. Only other thing I can think of is the possibility your system amp is getting wet from a leak in the A/C drain line next to the console on the passenger side. Check for wet carpet and the related threads about "wet carpet," if that's the case.

I think I would agree. Mine is always connected too. I've even noticed it can be worse if I listen to a podcast on Android Auto which often precedes the "problem"

I think you just found your problem. So I'd try disabling the app and possibly using the app only when you cable connect to your USB port (if that's an option on a '21). For others who may know and could possibly help, your phone brand/model and Android version could help with a diagnosis. Be sure to post an update.
