Music Not Pausing or Ducking During Garmin Audio Prompts

Hey all, wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or has a fix.

Recently on my Samsung Galaxy S23, I’ve noticed that audio prompts (like lap alerts) from my Garmin Forerunner 255 no longer pause or duck music as they used to.
This results in the audio prompts playing whilst the music continues to play making them difficult to comprehend.
It may coincide with the Samsung One UI 7.0 update, but I'm not certain.

What I’ve tried so far:

  • Garmin watch is on current latest software version 23.20

  • Happens on different bluetooth headphones or the phone speaker

  • Phone has the latest software and security updates. Garmin Connect is current latest version (Version 5.13.1)

  • I've restarted both phone and watch

  • Cleared cache/data on Garmin Connect and reinstalled the app

  • Made sure all permissions are granted

  • Switched between Samsung and Google Text-To-Speech engines, verified that audio ducking is enabled

Other apps (like the Clock Timer) pause music correctly, and apps that use TTS (like Google Translate) also behave as expected,so this seems specific to Garmin Connect.
Would love to know if anyone else has experienced this or could recommend a solution.
Thanks
