I'm about to lose my mind over here. I have the S23 Ultra. Since the update this week to UI 8, Android 16, whenever I hold the volume down button to control media, nothing happens. I have to click multiple times and it slowly goes down in increments. When I press and hold volume up, it shoots up as expected. When I press and hold down when controlling ringtone/vibrate/mute.. No issues. Just volume down when controlling media. Has anyone else run into this?

I don't use the volume buttons to control media.  However, I suspect it probably goes down in increments so it doesn't go lower than you want it to faster than you want it to. Frankly, that kind of incremental control should be on the volume up, as one wouldn't want it to get too loud too rapidly, especially if wearing buds.

 

Try turning off the "control media with volume buttons", rebooting the phone and turning it back on.  It may not do anything, but it may just reset the action.
