I have a Seicane px5 headunit for my Accord. I've been able to fix a various number of features that were lacking when I first installed the unit, including Google text to speech for the navigation.
While I'm super happy I was able to get Google tts to work with my navigation apps, specifically Here WeGo, I noticed my music, which is played over a2dp from my phone, doesn't mix with the navigation instructions. The voice nav starts but it doesn't play over my music in the background, just stops it momentarily while giving directions, if that makes sense.
I tried changing the sound settings from Switch to Mixing, but no changes.
I searched the forums here for a possible and it seems others have the exact "problem" I want to have lol.
Any guidance would be appreciated? Thank you.

See title.
I've tried turn by turn, but the music and voice directions are the same volume. They're drowned out.
I've switched from Android, and the way it worked with Google navigation is as follows:
Music is playing -> Music Paused -> "Turn Right on X St" -> Music resumes
Do any apps have that option? I'm interested in Navigon, specifically.
Thanks for any help!
Don't know about any thrid-party ones, but the built-in navigation feature works like that.
However, it doesn't give instructions automatically; you have to tap it when you want directions for the next leg of the trip. Some (few) people like this, many find it annoying and/or unusably impractical.

Yeah, that's just not very useful :/
For those who have Navigon: does it pause the music when getting audio directions?
I would really like something like this too. Poweramp on Android gives the ability to pause music on short audio focus change (like when voice navigation is active music is paused and then resumed). I have yet to find an app on WP7.5 that does this.
I know bing maps does it but that doesn't give automatic voice guidance.
Any help would be appreciated. It would be extremely useful for listening to music through a bluetooth car stereo whilst having the navigation on...it is hard to hear when the navigation voice is speaking if music is playing at the same time.

I've had an app that stopped/paused music fail certification for that very reason. If an app pauses or stops music, it must warn the user EACH TIME the app is loaded. Kind of silly, so I doubt any navigation apps out there pause the music.
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

Or get the Pro version.
I use this app to keep the damned speaker phone volume being linked the call volume.

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.
Hi all, I have been having a problem with the voice guidance since the update to Maps 6.8.0. I am on Android 2.3.4 on the latest baseband. In the past, voice guidance was fine, even when playing music. When my music was playing, the song would lower, but not stop, and the navigation direction would clearly sound over the song, then the song would be back to normal volume. Now, when the direction guidance is supposed to turn on, the song lowers, but no voice guidance. I also get no voice guidance with music off. I get no guidance with and without the headphone jack plugged into my car system. I understand that navigation volume and media volume are now linked, but media volume is turned all the way up, and still no voice guidance.
When I go to check the Pico TTS settings, I click on Listen to an Example and get the sample voice and when I go to Google Translate, I also get a voice.
Anybody else have this problem or have an idea how to fix?
Thanks

I had the same problem. Only it stops working again after a while.
Navigation for the G2x? Didnt no that was possible lol. 9 times outa 10 i need to use my garmin because the gps is so terrible on this thing. Which is sad because the G1 and mytouch slide i had before this could use navigation no problem, cant wait for a decent qwerty to come out again.
Hey guys. I've recently started using Navmii on my MTCD device, its the only Navigation app that works well enough to be used as a daily driver (excuse the pun!). Anyway the issue I'm having is that if i have the radio or poweramp playing in the background, the Navigation Voice prompts are difficult to hear over the music. The easiest thing to to, obviously is to stop the media apps completely, however in the real world you would normaly want some music on in the background?
Ideally, the radio/poweramp volume would dip automatically when the Nav app starts a voice prompt, however in reality i know thats probably not possible. What I have managed to achieve so far is to set power amps voulme lower via its built in volume control, this way the Navigaton prompts are always louder, this works really well. However I cant see a way of doing this for the radio app, I am assuming that this is something to with the way the radio is managed via the MCU interface, and not directly via android.
Im wondering how other people manage this scenario, I cant be the only one?!
There is an option in the settings menu (GPS submenu) that lets you do precisely that.
it cant post a link but search youtube:
Android head unit 5.1.1 low GPS voice fix
i posted a fix for this issue
Hi, I have an Xtrons PA78DLRIPL PX30 unit with android 8.1 and have a problem with sound from Copilot navigation app. There is no sound whatsoever when using this app, including key touch sounds and start up message. It's not related to the voice chosen for navigation as I've tried multiple voices and languages.
I have tried all settings for sound in the app but nothing works.
I have tried those settings I have found in system settings but nothing changes.
Other navigation apps work ok, Waze, TomTom, Google maps.
Unit is completely standard as I haven't plucked up courage to try rooting and installing other time.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
