All sound lost till reboot - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

I have been having a seemingly random issue with my sound. Every couple of weeks or so my sound disappears. No alarms, notifications, ringtones or media. Settings show all are on but all I get is vibration. Can't figure out what is causing it. I have to reboot the phone to get things with working again. Any clue what might be the problem?

[Q] LIQUIDSMOOTH RC8 Notification Sound Loop

Normally I just leave my phone on vibrate throughout the day, however I turn it onto ring at night. Whenever I bump up the volume on notifications, what sounds like a shortened version of one of the notifications plays over and over and over and it does not stop. I have rebooted the phone, reflashed it, wiped all caches, fixed permissions, and it still plays as soon as the phone boots up. When this occurred my battery life was low, however I have had the phone at this charge and lower (sub 10%) before and it didn't loop the sound.
I've searched around the net for an answer but I can't seem to find one. Is there a setting or something that will stop the sound (without turning off notifications in general), or is this something that happens when the battery is low? I am not quite sure what to do at this point.
Help.

[Q] Random Notifications

Love this phone, with 1 exception. For some reason I periodically hear my default notification sound, but when I unlock the phone there is no visual evidence of a notification. Sometimes it repeats the sound the sound for about 30 seconds too.
I downloaded "Notification History" app and it doesn't show anything either.
Any ideas what I may be able to do to figure out what is causing this issue?

I've read on other threads that other people would have this happen, with random chargers. So if yours is plugged in this could also be the case for you, but i have not ran into this at all..

Random notification sound

I have a rooted S7 on Verizon with PG5 baseband and build number. All of a sudden starting the past day or 2, I have been getting random notification sounds with no notifications to account for it. I installed a notification logger to see if I could figure out where it is coming from, but there are no notifications logged at the times it is happening. I have turned down the volume for notifications, but this random sound is still as loud as before and it is not the sound that is set for notifications, anyway. I did not install anything new before this problem started and I am at my wit's end trying to figure out the source of the sound. Does anyone have any ideas?

No media/video sound after receiving a notification

For some reason, every time I receive a notification in a media-playing app (Spotify, Youtube, etc), I hear the notification sound, which then mutes my media entirely. Even though the video is still playing in the background, there is no sound.
Clicking the volume buttons doesn't bring the volume back, and I have to either exit out of the video and wait several seconds, or exit out of the app and replay the media for it to make sound again.
Everytime I get a notification I hear the sound in the background but it fades out and becomes silent again.
I haven't found anyone encountering this issue, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas? I've done everything short of a factory reset, but I think I might have to do that soon.
Update: If I put the notification sound on silent or vibrate, the problem disappears.

Notification Sounds turning off

Everytime I receive a call using either Instagram or Whatsapp my notifications and phone sounds go haywire after. Immediately after if I use the volume buttons on the side they control the audio for ringtone but not volume for anything else. All sounds are muffled and low or don't ring or make any sound at all. The only option is to restart the phone. So now I'm restarting the phone several times a day.
I've checked zen mode, its off. I've checked adaptive battery, that's not it. I've hard reset the phone 4 times and eventually loaded apps one by one until I found it to be happened with Whatsapp and Instagram. I'm not using the beta of either app.
I've had this issue from day one with this phone. I thought it was the phone, had it replaced within a week of getting it from TMO and its still continuing. This is strange, especially coming from a 6T. I'm at my wits end and ready to get rid of this thing. Anyone else come across this?
