tomtom volume and system volume question - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Since I am using TomTom navigator 5 in combination with Mortplayer I try to figure this one out:
The volume of TomTom and the system volume don't seem to be working independently.
If I raise the volume of TomTom, the system volume goes up as well.
Because I use Mortplayer for playing MP3's over the car speakers it would be nice if it was possible to diminish the TomTom volume without lowering the system volume. The TomTom voice commands are to loud over the speakers.
Anyone knows a solution/workaround, maybe a registry hack?

Weak sound when using headset!

I have experienced a weak sound during listening music thru audio manager. I wonder if there is any way like modifying Audiopara3.csv in Touch Diamond. Please help.
Can't say the same really. I've been using the HTC bluetooth headset with no volume issues. Haven't yet tried the supplied wired headset.
Same question here... The sound on my Rose is extremely weak as well, e.g. it is impossible to listen to podcasts in a train. Is there no way to change this ??
Just a thought, though I'm sure that this is obvious enough so that you guys probably already tried it: turn up the system volume with the two buttons on the left side of the device.
.-ombre-.
i have the same problem over here, i have been told that this could have to do with european regulations. Something with the amount of decibels allowed.
There is a audio boost option in the menu but with a bluetooth headset this option does not work.
If there is a solution to this problem i would be happy to learn about it
Does it sound any better using media player? I think media player has a better sound but audio manager has an equaliser. Try using that to boost the sound.
AVE...
Use Pocket Player.
While using select: Menu>More>Options>Advanced and check "Use and set device volume". Then press on the side of Rose Volume Down button once and Volume Up button to max volume. This will double max volume.
BTW, for podcasts and audiobooks Pocket Player is the best, because it can autoresume last played file to exact point. I use it all the time because all my audiobooks are chopped into 30 minutes long MP3's. Neither AudioManager nor WMP can do it.
My solution was to change the profile to Outdoors and then edit the volume in this profile to loud. It works a lot better.
However I have Pocket Player installed and Urgon's solution works like a charm. Thanks man !

[Q] Bluetooth volume control problem

Is anyone else experiencing volume control issues when listening to music on a bluetooth headset. I'm using a Motorola Finiti bluetooth and I have both the volume on the device as well as the earpiece set to the lowest setting and it is still freaking loud. I can't seem to find a means of controlling the music volume because when I take a call I need to actually raise the volume to hear the caller. Any help or ideas???
Ok, quick update. Messing around with the volume on the phone does nothing. The volume cannot be controlled by the phone. It is either on or off from the phone itself and my bluetooth volume on my headset is as low as it can go. Any ideas guys????

Very soft volume for Navigon/CoPilot GPS

Hi all,
I am having problem with Navigon/CoPilot GPS software where the voice volume is very soft. Especially if I am using the phone to play the music as well. It seems like both of this GPS uses the System volume which I've maxed out but it just seems too soft when compare to the media volume.
Sygic seems to work fine as it uses the media volume instead of the System volume. Just that I seems to prefer the routing provided by Navigon.
I've tried using Siyah kernel but it seems even worst due to the fact that Siyah allows you the amplify the media sound which makes the voice from the GPS almost inaudible. Is there anyone else that uses either Navigon or CoPilot that knows anyway or workaround to fix this?
One way I know is to lower the media volume and just turn up the car radio when using Aux input so that both the system volume and media volume are the same but the issue is that sometimes I forget about that and just turn back on to radio without lowering down the volume. Trust me, the sudden increase in volume is not really good for the heart and not to mention the ear.
Hope someone is able to provide me with a better workaround!
Thanks!

I use Siyah here and STweaks to amplify the Speaker volume.
The default value is 57, try to use 59 or 60 it can get pretty damn loud.

Hi,
Thanks for that. But I am using it plugin to my car radio (aux in). This is so that I can listen to the music on my phone at the same time while the GPS is running. WIth the speaker volume, does that works if the output is not on the phone speaker itself?

Speaker volume = Phone's speaker..
In your case, you need to increase the headset volume, also available in STweaks with the same values (57 default).

Volume differences between bluetooth and aux output.

I'm the kind of person who likes to use my phone as a GPS. Google's free navigation used to be a selling point for the OS, but it currently has some issues. Prior to Android 2.3, there used to be separate volume levels for media and navigation. However, these got combined into media so you can no longer tweak your navigation volume independent of your music. The end result is that the only way to make navigation audible in the car is to have the stereo volume at a level that would cause the music volume to bother many people (I usually drive with two toddlers in my car).
But there's another thing that I noticed. Switching between bluetooth output to line output (the car's AUX input) has an effect on volume, but not one that makes sense. Music played through Google Music (and other media players, including PowerAMP) is louder over bluetooth. I have to have the volume at 2 bars in my Fusion on Bluetooth to match the music volume set at 4 bars on line out. But here's the weird thing, navigation volume is not effected. It sounds the same on both, meaning that it suddenly becomes audible on line out.
Android is doing something weird where it amplifies music over bluetooth, but not other sounds. Anyone have any ideas on how to alter this? As it stands, bluetooth is more convenient, but it makes turn-by-turn navigation more difficult.

[Q] In-call volume low with headset.

When I use headphones or earbuds with my phone, the in-call volume is extremely low, even with the volume maximized. Music and media are at normal volume with the headphones, and in-call volume is normal when using the earpiece or loudspeaker. It's just that when I make a call with headphones, I can almost not hear the person on the other end.
I've tried tinkering with every volume setting option, including those in DSP and even tried Volume+ (which unnecessarily boosts media volume to the extreme, but does absolutely nothing for in-call volume). I've also spent hours searching the internet and existing forums for a solution. I found this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337357) but unfortunately that only bricked my phone. I'd really love to be able to use earbuds when on a call. Any ideas??
P.S.
I'm running CM11 on a Motorola Defy, if that's important.
