Hey all I have a note 4 phone and while in the car I stream my audio via Bluetooth ,a2dp, also I use navigon navigation that stream the directions also by a2dp. Wondering how I can set the volume for navigation lower than the music? While navigation is active the Music mutes then the navigation directions come through, but its to loud and I would like to quite them down but the volume buttons also turn down the music, Any ideas??

The newest versions of Google Maps and Navigation have combined the Navigation volume with the Media Volume. I've read that by rolling back the version of the app to somewhere around 5.7 - 5.8, you can get your separate Nav and Media volume back, however I'd like to keep the latest version. Is there an app somewhere that allows for control of individual application volumes (similar to the newer versions of Windows' volume mixer)? I'd like to be able to separate the voice and media again.
Thanks,
Dan

Close but no cigar. This app only allows volume control of existing system functions like media, notifications, ringer, etc. Since the latest versions of Google Maps cram voice navigation and media (music, etc) into the same category, I can't control them independently.
A little back story:
I have a new motorcycle helmet with bluetooth capability. I need to be able to hear the navigation over my music. I'd turn music off and JUST have navigation, BUT... there is a delay between the navigation speaking and the bluetooth realizing it and switching back on from an idle/sleep mode, resulting in me missing directions.
What I want is for pandora to play sweet and soft tunes into my earholes while I'm riding, and for me to be able to crank the navigation volume WAY THE HELL UP so I can hear it. With the audio constantly playing through it I won't have the bluetooth wake-from-rest problem that I have using navigation alone.

It's been awhile, so I don't know if my memory serve me right. But there is a hidden menu for the audio settings for the Charge. If you do a search for the code, once you in, you can set the volume for navigation and media volume to balance out. There should be a threads in this forum for the recommended settings. Good luck.

The hidden menu option looks like it works (I can still do test mode, screen debugging, etc) but the dialer code for the audio menu no longer works (I'm on FP1, stock debloated).
Back to square one.
I'd rather have the app I'm looking for than try to hack the audio settings.
Well, I have finally found someone with EXACTLY similar problem!
I also ride a motorcycle and also listen to the music while riding and ALSO use Google Navigation!! Long ago there were good days when some version of GMaps/Navigation had a separate volume control but now it's gone.
It is impossible to hear anything with the music playing. I have tried several workarounds - one of them is to use PowerAmp and to force it to pause music every time any "other" sound plays. It didn't work. Or, well, technically it did, but the difference in volume levels between the music and navigation was so high, that I couldn't hear a thing.
I see a lot of people posting thingies like Super-Beats, Super-Duper-Beats, Super-Duper-Awesome-Beats, claiming that this is some sort of "audio driver" that is getting installed "on the system level" so that the sound is better/louder/deeper/crispier. I guess what we need is a similar solution, that would just add more "audio channels" - a separate one for Navigation, probably for smth else.
Is it at all doable?
Cheers'n'thanks!

I have found that while I'm listening to my music via the Music Play app, the song volume mutes while making the notification sound (the music does not pause though).
see if that helps.
Hey guys,
My default headset remote buttons have stopped working. I have a Samsung headset. But it has got only one button for play pause functionality. When used with default music player, I can't change the tracks with double or triple presses like most conventional headsets do. I know I can use other music players like PowerAmp but I don't want that. Can anyone tell me how can I set it so that it works for track changes while playing music with default music player?
Thanks,

go on play store and download jays headset control app, it works on other headphone brands. i've got a pair of jays one's and a sennheiser pair and both work perfectly. you can customise what the button does, etc, you'll see, it's very intuitive.
So I ordered the GoGroove Bluegate Bluetooth Receiver from Amazon the other day and my package was delivered today! Woohoo!
I got everything set up in my room and was very impressed. I'm no audiophile, but I noticed no difference in quality between the Headphone jack and BT audio.
So out to my truck I went, got it all wired up the way I like, and started playing some tunes.
On Batakang 1.00 and using DoubleTwist, the volume was WAY TOO LOUD. It was also pretty distorted. So I made sure the stereo, BT volume, and media volume were all at the lowest settings to no avail. Still incredibly loud.
Is this phone just loud as hell? I know the external speaker is louder than most other phones. Is it software or hardware? Is there any way I can force the volume down? (Side note, I miss the expandable volume controls after pressing the rocker in CM9/CM10)
Any help is appreciated!
Use Audio Concert Pro from the play store and it should give you everything you need.

It sounds like something in your setup is causing it to bypass the volume settings and just play at max volume. I use my phone all the time for bluetooth audio on 2 blackberry bluetooth gateways (home stereo and office stereo) and a sony bluetooth audio car stereo and I am able to control the volume just fine from both the phone and the stereos.

I think I figured it out. I installed "music volume EQ" from Play and I adjusted all bands to -15 db. This surprisingly made all volumes much more acceptable. I noticed media volume over 8 used to sound the same, like it was maxed out, but it seems much more granular now, and lower volumes are more "normal".
I suggest this fix for anyone who is unhappy with any volumes.

I know this topic is way old, but I know what the problem is. I unlocked and flashed cm10.1, and while the bluetooth takes a few seconds to lock on, it now is at a reasonable volume, the BT volume slider changes volume, and it never jumps to 100% after connection. The Motorola BT drivers must be wonky. Anyway, that's it! Moto screwed up.

I have my S3 connected to my car radio via Bluetooth. When I have music playing from my S3 and Google Navigation running , I noticed the audio cuts out supposedly when the lady is giving me directions but I hear nothing. After a few seconds, the music comes back.
If I don't have music playing, then the voice comes out loud and clear. Any one know how to fix this?

The navigation volume is independent of the bluetooth volume. Try starting navigation while disconnected from bluetooth and bumping up the volume then connect to your stereo.
I've never had this issue. For me, the navigation volume and music volume are both tied to the media volume setting.
I cannot get Spotify tracks to pause/stop with the centre button on my BT earphones. All other buttons work including pressing same centre button to Play a track. It is annoying as I have to go in to the watch menus to pause audio when running, instead of single pressing centre button. Odd thing is if I switch to the default music player the centre button works properly and toggles between play and pause/stop.
Are other people seeing this same issue with Spotify?
I am using JBL contour earphones and running Spotify offline with music stored on watch. Seemingly it is a but in the app as the headphones work fine with the default player.
