Yes, it does indeed work with the always setting. But you have to have some other media playing to notice it.
If you have the volume at 199, the media will be almost silent when VO is speaking. Adjust accordingly. Richard, USA "INTROVERTS UNITE ...

Audio ducking absolutely works while in the always mode. I've come across messages suggesting that it's buggy in the "only when speaking" mode. Anyway, if you set ducking to always and then adjust the volume in the rotor or VoiceOver settings or quick settings, you can move it above 100 percent. The higher you set it, the more other audio will be reduced in volume to compensate. Good apps to test this with are the CBC Listen app here in Canada. It's louder than VoiceOver unless you use audio ducking. It works nicely with Apple Music as well. You can get VoiceOver to be comfortably louder than the music and yet still be able toenjoy both things.

I tried all the ducking choices and move the volume all the way up to 199 and I could not hear any different. Can you tell me how this ducking is supposed to work?
