I agree. I tried setting up the feature on the iPhone where I could just enable it with two knocks on the back of the phone, but I found this gesture too unreliable. If it worked, I could turn on audio ducking even if I couldn't hear VoiceOver. Instead, I settled with putting it in VoiecOver quick settings, which makes it tough to turn on when the media volume is overwhelming VoiceOver.

Audio ducking is very drastic and lowers the volume such that you'll be pulled out of any flow state. Sound scapes and music are dropped in volume enough that you'll miss hearing things other than VoiceOver. It depends on what you most value hearing at the time. I wish there was a settting to control how drastic the volume of other audio is ducked. Even better would be an ability to set the relative volumes of things so VoiceOver was loud enough to always be distinguished. It's an imperfect but at times useful tool..

For example, if you are playing music or a video and you want to pause, change tracks or maybe you heard a notification come in and you want to check what it is without stopping whatever is playing then if you have audio ducking turned on it is much easier to hear Voiceover because as soon as you use your phone and Voiceover is talking the audio volume of whatever else is playing is reduced. If you stop using Voiceover the audio volume is restored. I highly recommend to turn it on, but that is of course my personal opinion and I am sure others think it should be turned off.
