SPEAKER mode audio fades while in call

The speakerphone audio on my Pixle 2 while in speaker mode fades after 5-10 seconds.

The audio on a bluetooth connected device does the same thing.

I booted in SAFE MODE and the problem persists less often however still occurs. While in safe mode if I push speaker OFF then ON again, it generally returns to normal speakerphone volume but then will suddenly drop the speakerphone audio if you talk into it.

Any suggestions?
 
Hmm, I was ready to say that it was a hardware problem with the speaker itself (we've seen a few of those) but it's really odd that the same thing would happen while using a Bluetooth device. Safe Mode should have effectively ruled out the possibility of a third-party app causing problems.

Is this only a problem while on calls or does the media audio (say from a youtube video) also fade out?
