970 full volume sound/alerts in a workout view

Hi, I just switched from 965 to 970 and I’m bit confused how loud alerts are in workout view. It’s seems like main volume setting is disregarded in workout view (being full volume). Is there a way to set the alerts to certain volume so they don’t blast into your ear during workouts?

Second thing is that I couldn’t find a thread about 970’s software updates notes. I did software update to 6.16 but wasn’t sure what changes it brings.

Ok i actually found solution to the alerts volume level. When you’re in workout view you can scroll down to activity settings and set volume for that activity What a relief

How did you get to that setting? Tried to do this for normal Run, but just the GPS connected alert beep sounds deafening. Starting activity and saving are also same volume. If I have a workout with interval beeps, its really distractingly loud

I didn't find release notes for 6.16, but 6.17 is here: https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-970/413633/forerunner-970---software-version-6-17---50

When I start workout, let's say Run i was able to scroll down I find a setting for alerts volume don't remember exactly which one is it. Also in watch settings "holding middle left button" go to "focus mode" and see settings for activities.
