Weird Volume Problems - Help a Newbie

[tbuzleski]

I am a 2 week owner of an iphone 4s. A convert from the Android world. However I have run into a weird bug I can't understand. It seems like my overall headphone volume has diminished a bit not so much that's awful but I have noticed. So today I am listening to some tunes and doing some work on my laptop when I text a coworker a question. He texts me in return and in my headphones I hear the notification tone and BANG the music volume goes up substantially without seeing the volume level on the phone increase. This is the way I remember the phone when I first bought it. I haven't figured a pattern yet but sometimes it reverts to quiet when I change the equalizer setting or when I change songs? Any help out there? I searched but couldn't find my problem.
