This is a big problem for me as a gamer. I dont even have cellular network on my phones and solely use wifi for gaming only. I am pretty sure this issue is more of a feature of the ios that apple is proud of, but it needs to be addressed. Strategic games require active communication with teammates for performance and results. An argument can be made to just turn the phone volume up to hear the game sound better, but it doesnt help. For some weird reason the the voice(mic) volume becomes annoingly loud when the entire volume of the phone is turned up and it cannot be adjusted through any settings be it game or phone settings. Also, some sounds in the game like gunshots dont get affected with the mic being turned on, its just the other sfx sounds like footsteps, breeze, vehicle sounds that get low. So, turning the volume up when mic is turned on is a serious health threat for the ears due to other sounds (espcially gun shots) becoming too high.
