HI i'm also having the bug since i updated to Ios 6. I can bearly hear voice over during a call. I too use a head set but it would be nice if we could turn the volume of the call down and voice over up.
getting kind of good at guessing where the numbers are when i have to enter them lol Blessings! Maria Joe and loving guide Karly.
