Ever since I downloaded IOS 18, siri has been pausing my music whenever announcing a notification. As a college student who is constantly listening to music, this is quite frustrating.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18
I think I found the issue. I had sound recognition enabled and for some reason it pauses media after an announcement is made or after reading a text message. The bug is still present. To fix it, I had to go to
> Accessibility > Sound Recognition, then turn OFF Sound Recognition.Once I did that, I would still get the announcement or my texts read but the music would continue playing.

I have this same issue with an iPhone 12. I tired all the different setting combinations, the problem started when I installed iOS 18.
I have the same issue but my vocal shortcuts are off
This worked for me! At least for the time being anyway.
I did not have Vocal Shortcuts enabled, but set a fake one up, then turned it off, deleted the shortcut and turned my iPhone 13 Pro iOS 18.0.1 off and on again (not sure if that contributed or not, but might as well be thorough!) and had my partner send me a text after I started a playlist in Apple Music, and the volume ducked low while Siri read it aloud in my AirPods Pro 2, and then the volume went back up to normal, as expected!
I'll update this if the problem returns, but I haven't seen a working solution yet, so figured I'd leave this here and maybe it can help someone else.
i had the same issue, i turned them on & set one of them up (took 30 seconds) then turned them off. issue is gone now.
I have not found a fix. I tired the vocal shortcuts settings as discussed and they made no difference.
Go to Settings > Accessibility and turn off Vocal Shortcuts.
Did you find a fix for this?
go to vocal shortcuts and make one literally type “the” say it three times as it will tell you to then just turn it off. Do this all while listening to music.
Thank you for providing this answer. Fixed the issue for me - never would have found this myself.
I went to create one but you have to “choose an action”. Could you please advise which to select that will allow me to do this? Thank you!
Worked for me….That was a great help….thanks a lot
Music paused after siri announces a notification.
