Have a look at this at around the 5:00 minute mark. It's a trifle ambiguous, but I think it says you can adjust the COM manual squelch using the audio panel's volume knob.

I went to the plane today and did some testing, as well as queried Garmin who were unusually responsive and informative.photoSteveZ wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 11:37 pm I don’t have an airplane with G1000 avionics right to hand, but I recently learned you can adjust the Com squelch when it’s set to manual squelch, using the pilot’s volume knob on the audio panel. Similarly, you can adjust the intercom’s manual squelch (when the audio panel’s manual squelch is lit), for both the pilot and copilot/passengers. Can’t wait to try this, because I never figured it out when I had my ‘interim’ DA62.
I've experienced this as well, most recently just this past weekend. I suspect this may have to do with RCAG sites which extend the range of ATC frequencies. They may or may not be activated at a given time based on who the controller is talking to. It also seems they are not always active even when they should be, which can lead to particularly challenging communication at times.
