It’s likely one of those edge cases that nobody cares to solve. It probably involves some scoping issue where one system doesn’t know the conditions of the downstream system. Emergency volumes are supposed to be loud, and override the volume settings. The thing making that override doesn’t know what the actual audio output channel is, or what “loud” means on that channel. Users “reverse opt in” to amber alerts by not turning them off. Most people just these off. There’s way too many of them, and the vast majority of these are a custody dispute escalation. Don’t feel bad for shutting these off. With this fact pattern the issue never makes it to the top of the stack to solve.
