This is how to fix “The sound settings are available again as soon as the phone call, the announcement or parking has ended.” I encountered this error on my 2021 Volkswagen Jetta. When I tried to change the VW Jetta’s volume, the infotainment system remained muted. This meant that I could not place or receive phone calls through Apple CarPlay or Bluetooth. The Volkswagen’s radio would also not function and no audio from YouTube, Apple Music, etc. on my iPhone would work. If your Volkswagen’s audio is stuck on mute then this is likely the fix for the problem. It’s worth mentioning that I tried to reset the VW’s MMI by pressing the left button for about 40 seconds. Although that reset the MMI, it did not resolve the issue and the VW’s audio remained muted. The act of disconnecting the VW’s battery, waiting a few minutes and then reconnecting the battery caused the VW’s MMI to completely reset and cleared the audio stuck in mute issue. I’m happy that this resolved my Volkswagen’s “The sound settings are available again as soon as the phone call, the announcement or parking has ended.” issue because with lingering supply chain issues, sourcing a hardware component to resolve the issue would have likely been impossible. #VW #Volkswagen #MMI #Howto
