Anyway to Lower Volume? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

hi i have a xtrons PF75AA4A headunit. everythings works great in my audi a4 cabriolet with bose system. i have rooted the unit and installed viper4android so the audio is better than what is was before. The only issue i have with this unit is that the lowest volume "1" is set too high. i would say volume 1 is equal to like 8 or 10 on normal car systems. i cant seem to find an option to lower the volume. if i put the car in reverse than the audio levels go lower but this is cause of parking sensors. Its annoying when im driving and want some ambient music but the lowest volume is too loud.
any help would be appreciated.

the std sound out is fine to power a normal sound system, but the Bose system requires an UN-amplified sound input I have the xtrons in my Silverado with the Bose sound system once I got the AMP powered on I had FULL sound for lack of a better term, then proceeded to cut the speaker out(s) on the harness and added rca male/females to the sound in adapter from the back of the xtrons unit to get sound volume that works. It's been fine since.
quote from a guy on a truck forum
the stock head unit from GM that are Bose the output from the unit to the amp are NOT high level speaker outputs like your regular non-bose head units. instead they are low level rca signals

in Joying in Factory Settings there is a way to adjust volume levels

**** i'm looking for a way to turn it up!

I see that this thread is for lowering the volume, but the fix would be the same if someone needs it to have higher volume by default.
When the HU first starts it always sets the volume to 14 or 15 i think......WHY??? i want it to stay as i left it before shutdown. I don`t think any of the android phones changes the volume when you do a reboot. There are some volume settings inside the "factory settings" menu, but when you change the settings it needs to reboot, and then the problem with no sound and no working buttons comes up, so there is no way to test it, as i have to do a factory reset to fix it.
No wonder there is no restart option by default...
I use my HU with the factory installed stereo "BOSE" with 3rd party AUX unit and i control the volume with my OEM stereo so i need the volume of the HU to be up to the max.
I hope someone finds a fix for this.

it sets it at 14-15 upon boot up to protect your ears.

yeah, i know this but still..... Maybe there is a way of achieving this. Now i remembered that there is as app on the market- "Liama" that you can use to do various settings changes when certain conditions are met. This might do the job.

Any way to keep the volume before the car was turned off. My head unit suddenly gets loud when the car is restarted

Factory settings/other/boot default volume. Default is "no" which persists the volume from last use.

Well my problem is intermittent. Lots of time my head unit would restart with the last set volume... other times it would go to 15

Options
I only have these options in my factory settings

How would you find out what you have and then ask those that have your unit?

Android Volume Adjusting? (dB)

Is there a way to make the volume louder, adjust the Gain or so?
Just to make AUX louder, anyone?
Thankyou.
Kind regards,
Semmi
Think i have seen under Factory settings under sound menu that you can turn up/down sound for aux etc..

I adjusted the AV-In from 10 to 18 now (max is 20). Makes the aux louder, thought it was about the sound during vooce calls as the option is in the section 'voice' haha. Thanks
When putting the volume higher, it gaves a irritating beep. You dont hear it when listening to music but you will hear it when there is silence.
All those settings under "voice" is for turning up volume ??
HAHA I thought it was the same as you Semmikabel
Now I'll go turn all mine to 20 lol

Bluetooth Audio low volume

Anybody have a solution to this? I've tried u sing media volume sync and it helps a little bit but the S8 has much lower volume on Bluetooth overall than any other pho me I've used in recent memory. Doesn't matter if I'm using my headset or in the car.
Do you have the volume on the phone turned up??
I've noticed some anomalies around bluetooth audio volume as well. For instance, I can be running Waze and Pandora on my car or though my headset on my motorcycle. Volume settings are maxed out on the phone, with the final master volume being either my headset dial on the bike, or head unit volume control in the car. Pandora never seems to be at quite full volume and just after Waze finished speaking a notification, Pandora volume will increase for a fraction on a second and then be reduced again. It's like there is some type of limiting going on and I've disabled all limit settings that I can find.
This is not just related to Pandora, but other streaming apps as well. And without Waze running, I don't notice increased volume in the streaming apps. Waze just seems to somehow enable the short period of increased volume.
Let's see if we can solve this once and for all. I've been experimenting and I am having some results. But does require an equalizer app. I am using Equalizer FX so I don't know how these steps work on other ones.
Open the app, click the three dots in the upper right > Settings > check "Global audio output mix" it's description reads, "Warning! It does not work for new devices. We do not recommend to use this feature. However this is the only solution for some players." (I am using YT Music)
After you turn that setting on, go back and click the middle tab "Effects" and you'll need to turn on "Loudness Enhancer" then use the slider to adjust it to your personal taste.
You don't even need to have the main page equalizer turned on. Just the main toggle needs to be on, the one right next to the three dots.
This part is just a little extra for those who don't understand the issue. SoundAlive maintains the media volume separately from all other device sounds. In the past we just used Package Disabler, turned it off, boom no more limited bluetooth music volume. Now it seems, it cannot be disabled with going rooted. *Flips table* You can easily demonstrate the issue by making sure you have setting on for the device volume synced with bluetooth volume. Connect to a bluetooth speaker, play a song, then plug and unplug an aux cable into the phone, you'll notice probably a 30% volume difference.

I've noticed the same thing running Waze, it's like something is limiting the output.
FWIW, I've also noticed the same behavior when the phone is connected to my car stereo. I'll have to pay attention to whether it occurs with other devices. I suspect the behavior will be the same. I can pause any playing music and then un-pause it and the music will start at full volume before the volume seems to get limited. I don't have another Android phone that I can try this with and I've never noticed such behavior with either Windows Phone or iPhone.

I can tell you my past Android phones didn't do this.. The last two were a Droid Turbo 2 and an LG G2.

I do usually have DriveMode (and sometimes Waze) running although I've run experiments without it with the same results. There just seems to be some sort of limiter being applied.

I've got the same problem with my S8+. Samsung support simply say try resetting the phone, but as the problem was there from new, what difference is that going to make! It seems to be a fundamental issue with this particular model (8 & 8+), as my iPhone7 and my older Note4 don't have the problem.
Same here. I use V4Android, as it's mixed into the CarHDROM v9, works excellently to overcome the system low vole on my 8+
I m not sure if a solution... But I tried disabling Bluetooth Media Volume Sync ( Settings - Bluetooth - Options (3 dots on the top right) - Media Volume Sync - (Turn off) )..
This gives phone media its own volume and the bluetooth device to control its own volume.
The volume is better after this for me.

I'm having the same issue, but I don't have the option for Media Volume Sync as apparently my car's stereo doesn't support that function. Any other ideas on how to get this fixed?

you might be misunderstanding the original poster. I have the s8+ and I did what he was talking about on the phone. On your s8+, you go to system settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth then if you tap on 3 dot top right menu, you will see 3 choices: Dual audio, Media Volume Sync, Bluetooth control history. If you tap on the media volume sync, it will be on but blacked out so that you can't turn it off, so what I did was in that menu select dual audio and turn that on. It will say it has to shut off media volume sync yes/no - select yes and media volume sync will now be off. Then just turn back off the dual audio and media volume sync will still be off.
Sorry that was long, hope it helps.
Fixed!

Thanks! This pointed me in the right direction, although my solution was just the opposite. Turning this on solved my problem. Just a week ago my S8+ had no issues with Bluetooth volume. But I sent it for repairs and they updated the software. After that, the max volume on my earbuds were a whisper. Turning Bluetooth media volume sync on brought it back to previous pre-repair levels. Maybe it works in my case because the earbuds don't have any volume control. I don't recall ever touching this setting previously though.
I also had surround sound on , turned that off and it helped. Sorry if I missed this somewhere earlier in the post.

Grad it helped. However, it seems that i am also back to square 1 after some recent update... Bluetooth audio is just whisper to me now... Specially for videos (be it a video on ur phone or youtube, etc). This is happening to me with a Samsung s8 and a Samsung Level U !!! Reported this to Samsung. Lets c what response i get for it.
Go to settings /general management/ reset/network reset. After this I had to re enter Wi-Fi password but it fixed it. Not my fix found it on YouTube but it works.

Weird Volume issue Xtrons TS708L

Hey
Recently brought a xtrons head unit
Seems to work fine but there is a strange issue
The volume on the radio is very loud and have to only have it at a quarter at most but in any other app (tried bt music and Spotify) the volume is very low and I have to have it at its highest to get anything usable out of it.
Can't see anything in the settings for it. Has anyone encountered anything like this?
Cheers
Try first and go to the factory settings. On the first page I mean you find the volume settings for radio, system, Bluetooth and something else. Take a look that every entry are close together.
In my case the voice for navigation was to noisy. I've set the system volume up and it was fine.

Any way to lower Google Assistant voice when using Android Auto?

I have a PX6 6/64 GB head unit and using wired Android Auto with the Z-link app. It works fine, except the Google Assistant / Maps voice has very high volume and distorted sound compared to music. Which makes it impossible to use Google Maps and Spotify at the same time, in Android Auto mode. I have the same problem running stock or HAL9K ROM. Is it possible to adjust the voice volume in any way?
Apple CarPlay works good and has much better volumes and sound quality.
Thanks for any help!
You haven't mentioned what steps you have taken to try to self resolve the problem, which usually ends up in a circular guessing game.
Have you considered lowering the system volume in factory settings?

Thanks, well I have tried rebooting phone and head unit, regarding volume I only have one setting in my head unit, which seems to control everything.
After some more testing I have now realized that the problem is not really that the Google Assistant voice is too high. The problem is that when the voice starts it will lower the music but when the voice is finished it will not turn the music volume back to normal. So when I increase the music volume back to normal, next time the voice will be really high. Anybody else with this bug and a possible solution?

Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic low volume problem

Hello!
I've noticed lately that my basic 2 earphones' volume is really low. Before I usually had them at around 70% volume because anything more was too loud. Now I have them on 100% and it's like they are playing on half the volume. My phone is Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G
There have been no recent changes to my device nor it's settings, haven't updated either so it's the same operating system as before (Android version: 11 RKQ1.200836.002) (MIUI Global 12.5.4 Stable)
I also want to mention that my device is unlocked and rooted using this exact guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tom-rom-working-on-xiaomi-mi-10t-pro.4246339/
Things I've tried so far:
Restarting my phone
Restarting the earphones
Hard reseting the earbuds
Reseting all the bluetooth connections on my phone
Changing my Region (I tried USA, India and Andorra. Didn't change anything)
Tried Disabling Absolute Audio (There was no such setting on my developer options)
Tried changing the Bluetooth Codec (As soon as I scrolled down a bit it was reseting to "System Default")
Volume Booster Apps (They make the sound terrible and still the volume is not as high as originally)
MIUI's Sound Optimization (Adjust sound to earphones made the sound slightly better but didn't change the volume at all)
I also thoroughly cleaned the earbuds (To make sure there wasn't anything physically blocking them) as well as my ears (To make sure I wasn't losing my hearing)
I really can't understand why or how this happened and I can't seem to find a working solution no matter what... I really need your help on this one!
I don't mind tinkering with my phone and it's settings so any solution and I mean ANY solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your time !
I fixed my mi 10 5g low speaker volume issue, u should give it a try by calibration of speakers
In settings>about phone>all specs, click on kernal version 5 times or more to open cit settings
Here u can test speakers, but to re calibrate click on 3 dots menu and goto additional setting find "calibrate speaker PA"

It worked. In my case, I headed to Bluetooth and ran the CIT test. It disconnected and on reconnecting, voilĂ ! It worked. Thanks man
I tried everything, nothing worked. Turned out that earphones turn up volume by long tapping on earphone touch area.
Had the same issue with my Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro. Turned out, the buds have their own volume control (set to 50% by default), which must be assigned to double/triple taps via Xiaomi Earbuds app. By default, there was no way of controlling this "earphone-internal" volume. And the phone control operated within the 0%-50% range. Strange indeed.
