I'm having some issues with my bluetooth volumes and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to help. Specifically when I pair my phone with my car's stereo for turn by turn directions using Google Nav and then listen to music using play music the directions get blown out by the music. The music volume does decrease while the turn by turn voice speaks, but the voice nav is so much quieter than the music. Is there anyway I can increase the Nav volume independently from the music? How about a music app I can adjust the volume of the app itself? Thanks in advance!

During music play, has anyone else noticed small amount of static when changing volume. This happens to me particularly when increasing the volume control. However, it is very inconsistent. When I say static, I mean there is a volume increase (or decrease) with some amount of "other" sound added in. This was not something I noticed with my ipod touch and was just curious if anyone else has this or it's a hardware or software issue.
Do you see when playing music through the speaker only, or with earphones as well?
Speaker is not clear enough to hear if there is any audible noise during volume increase or decrease. . . also hear it when using other music players such as cubed. Also, I was listening through my earphones to Avatar and even though the audio is very clear, when increasing and decreasing the volume I still hear what I guess is better described as a small pop instead of static. That might be a better description for the music noise as well.
Static, crackle, pop
I've been listening to audio books on my Vibrant lately and I've noticed this happening a lot. I've heard it through headphones and I have even heard popping / crackling on the speaker when it plays notification sounds.
Did this turn out to be a defect or is it an issue that everyone has occassionally but just ignores?
Thanks
Does this happen when using the on-screen volume control in the music app or only the rocker button?
Mine will actually crackle even when I'm not touching it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes mine too. It will sporadically "skip" in all music players whether I'm using headphones or not.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
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????
Does anyone else feel like the voice volume in the Navigation app is really low? I have the volume maxed out and I barely hear the directions. I'll be playing music at the same time, which I can hear with no issues, but when a direction occurs and the music is turned down, I still can't hear the voice giving the directions.

It's a fairly well documented android 2.3.3+ issues, if using the headphone jack, and a music app then audio for voice nv is very (unbearably) low. I'm trying to see if there's a fix, but not much luck ATM.
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.
one time bump
So I've been looking for a fix for this issue for some time now, with little luck
Back in the younger versions of Android, Media and System volumes were separate, and music was considered media, while navigation turn by turn was under the system.
Since (I believe) Jellybean, Maps and media have merged.
When I plug my phone into my car's stereo using the headphone jack to stream music, If I want to turn up the music volume, when a navigation prompt comes on, the music drops behind (which is fine), but I have to leap to the volume knob to twist it all the way down.
Are there any fixes to this? Xposed Modules, workarounds, apps? I'd even be ok routing my GPS to my bluetooth headset while it leaves the music untouched, but preferrably I'd just like to be able to find a solution that lets me alter the volume of the GPS, to independently reduce it.
This persists over all my devices, ROMs, etc.
Thanks in advance
