My Question or Issue

I have 2 music systems, running a Yamaha receiver with a Chromecast attached to it, then I play my Spotify (Premium) via iPad or iPhone and cast it to my Chromecast, I noticed that the volume is low, I used to be at 18db on my Yamaha, now I'm at almost 12 to 10db already, I have reset everything but I am getting the same result.

There 3 ways for me to cast the music,

1. iPad to Chromecast (low volume)

2. iPad to Yamaha via Airplay (volume improves a bit)

3. iPad to Yamaha via Spotify connect (Built in Spotify App on the Yamaha - The best volume so far...)

All settings on Spotify are set to the Highest Quality...

Did you recently by any chance update to iOS 13.5 public beta?  Mine did the same thing the day after I updated.

I have similar issue with AirPort Express. While streaming through AirPlay: Spotify volume is low, Apple Music volume is normal. Spotify Audio Normalization is off. Only when I reload Spotify, its volume goes back to normal. I’m guessing it is Spotify - AirPlay 2 issue, as Apple Music works fine.
