How come when you yawn and are listening to music it becomes louder?

Your ears pop: When you yawn, you also pop your ears. This may make sounds a little louder just from the equalized pressure in your ears.

Amplified: When you yawn, the eustacheon tub running from the back of the throat to the ear opens. This amplifies the sound into a bigger cavity.
