So when I'm using Google maps app for navigation with speaker directions, I can't seem to change the volume of the directions. I can see the volume slider go up or down, but it has no affect on the navigation. Anyone noticed this or know what i'm missing?

Google Maps voice is mixed into the media channel and not the notification channel. If you want to use the volume control buttons you have to change it while the voice is speaking. Otherwise, you have to go into Settings -> Sound -> Volumes and change the media volume (top volume bar).

One thing I loved about Cyanogenmod was the expanded volume control indicator.

Hey. I'm looking for a volume control application that would basically let me control the volume of individual applications.
Reason I'm asking for this is due to the fact I use a GPS navigation application and Winamp at the same time while driving. I'd like Winamp's volume to be slightly lower than the navigation application so I can hear the given directions better. Thanks.
Hey all,
I am coming from an EVO 3D which had CyanogenMod 10 with JB 4.2. When I pressed either of the volume rockers, the volume bar would pop up with the option to change all 3 volume settings, ringer/media/alarm.
On my nexus 5, I had to set up a shortcut for Sound Settings in order to change all 3 volumes. Am I missing a shortcut or easier way to adjust all 3 volumes? When I currently press the volume rocker, it only lets me change the volume for the ringer (or media if I'm playing music/games).
Thanks!
In the Settings hit Sound and then Volumes.

Try actually reading the OP before you reply next time.
I really miss this option as well. I know some custom roms on my GS3 used to have an option make that sound bar expandable or always expanded.

Actually, shaneledford understood exactly what I was asking. I was just asking to see if there was a way to enable this volume setting.
Too bad Google didn't catch on to this neat little shortcut.
This issue drives me up the wall. Anyone knows a way to quickly adjust volumes without digging through the settings I would greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Quick question -
I upgraded to 5.0.1. yesterday, and now I can no longer use the volume rocker as a shortcut to switch between "no interrruptions (silent)" and ALL notifications. In other words I cannot use the volume rocker to adjust ring volume and or disable notifications for a period of hours.
The volume rocker only adjusts MEDIA volume now?
What is the quickest shortcut to adjust from ring volume and/or disable interruptions, without having to go into the settings, sound menu.
I'm sure there must be some shortcut.
thanks
Sorry. The shortcut is still there and works with volume rocker. I killed everything in my tasks view window, just dragged away about 20 different tasks. And now the volume rocker shows the options again.
It seems some app was holding the volume rocker as media volume only, even when the app was backgrounded.
When it happens again I'll remove the tasks one at a time to identify the app at fault.

I've noticed that on the new release on Pie - when I manually turn the phone down, it just turns down the 'media' volume and not the ring tone volume, I need to actually go in a also turn that one down.
Am I missing something? Didn't it used to default to turning both media and ringtone down? Is there a way of making both come down or at least default to ring tone?
It's a new Pie settings.. It works like this... You need to click the settings icon in volume panel to open audio settings and change whatever you want
When I switch a call over to the speaker, the volume is extremely loud. The volume slider(s) do nothing! I see the standard slider which can be moved up and down (but does not make any changes to volume), and there is a secondary slider to its left which is faded out and cannot be moved.
1) What is the purpose of this secondary, non-functional slider?
2) How can I gain control of speakerphone volume?
I have the opposite problem. I think the speakers are too soft. Sometimes hard to hear video and music without headphones even on max. Voice calls are ok, but would prefer them a bit louder like I had on other phones.

The way I can adjust speaker volume during a call is by pressing the rocker, then the 3 dots which brings up Sound and vibration menu. There is a menu for call volume which adjusts speaker volume and in-ear volume.

1) I believe that slider is a slider for an Accessibility feature called Switch Access. I had to activate this feature to get my Google Assistant mic-open notification sound to work. I only saw this secondary slider when I set Switch Access up. I never saw it faded out....

2) It seems your slider is not set to call/speaker volume, but ring & notification or media volume. I sometimes get this, but not consistently. You should do as schmeggy929 says and have to specifically set it in the sounds settings menu (3 dots gets you there). Hopefully this bug is addressed...
I found an answer on another site and it worked for me. In the phone app, hit the 3 dots at the top right, go into phone settings, down to "General" then to "Accessibility". Toggle the "hearing aids" on and off......that worked for me.
Hope this helps someone.
