Sound related issue with Agama Launcher - Android Head-Units

Hello there, recently I've encountered a problem with the launcher, it has it's own sound control.
That sound control is stuck on 21 no matter how many times I change it to something lower it just comes back to it after a few seconds, that sound control interferes with the sound settings I made on the unit itself and there are static noises because of it.
(I'm sure that's the cause because whenever I lower it, they stop)
And disabling the control does just that - disables the control, but not the sound itself.
I want either to disable the sound setting or lower it without it jumping back higher.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Pls.

To be honest I don't know what you're talking about.
Agama has a sound setting? You can use it to control volume and it has this speed dependent volume adjustment. Both features working fine on my head unit.
Are you sure Agama launcher is the root cause of your sound problems?

Mic is too sensitive

Hi all,
When I talk to others using my SGS, they hear a lot of background sound of my side. Sometimes the background sound is even noisier than my voice, so I have to talk very loud at the phone. This problem is worse if I'm in the crowded areas / subway.
I think the mic is too sensitive on my SGS, but I wonder if anyone else experience the same problem. Is my phone a faulty one?
there is an option to turn off auto mic boost, forgot the name
you know the one that option that automatically add mic gains
that might help
i also saw a few apps that lets you control the mic volume and gain, also forgot the name of those but it's in the market, or you can simply Google for android apps to control volume

I noticed that the volume when the voice reads a message is a lot lower then say the map direction or music app, also when i receive a message the notification is blaring. I know its not a phone but an app issue just wanted to see if anyone else has issues with it. Oh also i feel like the Bluetooth media kinda skips or lags every now and then. Have you been able to get the screen mirroring to work?
Some of the AA volume settings are controlled by the head unit/car. The only way to adjust them is the change the volume while the sound is playing. I had a problem of the directions being too low. I just had to turn up the volume using the car's volume knob while a direction was playing.
I use Tasker to exert more control over the individual volume sliders. For example, the volume slider for Bluetooth is hard to get to (if you can find it at all). In Tasker, I've created a task in which if a Bluetooth device is connected, the Bluetooth volume is then set to the maximum level.

Ill give it shot, I mean i have the blue tooth turn to max and the AA message read back is blaring. How ever if im connected via USB then the read back is too soft if the head unit is turned down. I guess you cant always get what you want.

Bad headphones sound after update to Nougat

Hello all ZF3 owners,
I own ze520kl model and It is just me or sound is terrible after updating to Android 7? I have (almost) no bass sounds, anyone else feels this kind of difference? Equalizer makes a little of difference, but not like previously did on Android 6.0.
2 different set of headphones and 2 different player apps.
Regards,
Dan.
Others reported the same.
Looks like I have to hold on to update my phone.
The Android N update for the Zenfone 3 enables AudioWizard audio processing with wired headphones, meaning that any EQ you have on your phone's speakers will carry over to the headphones. There also may be a bug that activates certain AudioWizard presets on headphones without warning. Either way, you can fix the problem of headphone audio sounding tinny or weird by going into the Sound and Vibration settings menu while your headphones are plugged in, and selecting AudioWizard. Once in AudioWizard, set the preferences to your liking or just select Pure mode if you don't want any EQ or anything like that.
Big thanks, it worked like a charm!
Regards!

Will try that settings. Thanks for the advice. :good::good::good:
Sorry for reviving this old thread. I updated to Nougat the day I got this phone and learned that audio quality is worse than my last phone, even with AudioWizard set to Pure. Will audio sound better with the AudioWizard app and service disabled?

I also found two audio packages, "com.asus.maxxaudio" and "com.asus.maxxaudiowizard" which I can't disable via ADB because I'm not rooted.

Solved: Bluetooth volume defaults to maximum on each new connection

I have found that each time that I connect my bluetooth audio devices to the phone the volume resets to the loudest setting. The change seems to happen as soon as I start audio the first time after connecting. When I adjust the volume I can see momentarily that it was on a lower setting and then it jumps all the way up to maximum. This has happened with three different brands of headsets. It does not happen with wired earbuds. An app called "Bluetooth Volume Control" will automatically adjust the volume based on the bluetooth device connected. This work reasonably well but not 100% so far. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Edit: I found a solution for this. In the developer options under the "Networking" heading, there is an option to "Disable absolute volume." Turning this option on allows the volume to stay where I put it.
Well, I love having mine maxed out every time. I had the Nexus6p which did something much more annoying. It would always set the Bluetooth volume to the middle and then I would have to turn it all the way up every time. I set up a Tasker option, but like your app, it didn't work 100% of the time either.

In the past it would have been less of an issue but the combination of the new phone and my newest bluetooth set means that half way is ear damaging. My older sets were less so but are still uncomfortably loud.
My god, I hope no one else complains about this. I can't stand devices that default to a safe volume limit. FYI, when connected via BT, the phone volume is software based and what ever device you are using is hardware based. It is ALWAYS recommended to max out the software volume and then use the hardware (actual device) volume to adjust to your preference. On other phones I would always have to readjust both volumes, not fun. OnePlus does it right.

Not all bluetooth earbuds have volume controls. It would be nice to just have the volume stay where I put it. That would be the "right" way. you could leave it high I could leave it lower.
So I found this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en
It allows granular control over volume, presets for different devices, boosting or reducing the overall volume... etc.
For example, in my car maximum volume is preferred because I would rather use the volume control on the dash, however my wireless earbuds have no volume control and this newest pair have a truly ridiculously loud maximum volume, and I want them to default to about 50 percent. This app lets me set up separate presets for each.
It also lets you adjust the maximum volume and the rate of change when you use the volume controls. This was useful also.
free to use with ads but it is $2.99 to make it useful though.
I think that is problem solved but I wish that I didn't need an app to prevent an automatic volume change. It isn't about loud or soft. It is the fact that I put it where I want it and the phone changes it. In my case these headphones are capable of such loud volumes that starting soft would be preferable.
Here are the headphones by the way. A bit expensive but very worth it.

The Jams are way better than both in every respect.
Finally found a real solution. In the developer options, under the "Networking" section, there is an option to "Disable absolute volume." turning this option on allows the volume to stay where I put it.

Thanks for the solution! I've been having the opposite problem, i. e. every time I connected my Bluetooth earplugs the volume was always at the minimum. Now it's working fine.

I noticed this and had it on but I turned it off, then I noticed that the volume was not staying like it did when I used other bluetooth earbuds. After reading your post, I then reenabled the option and works nicely. I got the IdeaUSA v203 headphones today, and I was trying to keep the volume about the same via bluetooth and aux cable, in-case I ran out of battery and need to plug in aux to use headphones. This works perfectly for me. I use Poweramp and nicely done for this. It says up to 40 hours playback but I think with the way I got it might give me a few hours less playback but I am willing to sacrifice for volume. One reason I love Oreo or higher OS now. My S7 Edge is nice with this.:good:
THANKS! Worked for me!
I have 'disable absolute volume' ON and i still have this problem. Its a very big problem, because having music defaulted to large scares the me so much and also is causing damage to my ears.

Same here. Toggling that did nothing at all.
My issue was that if I took a phone call while any media was playing, when I hung up on the call the media volume would jump to max and playback would resume which DESTROYED my ears.
My solution was to uninstall the Samsung Sound Assistant app and then rebooting my S9. (Because the behavior persisted until rebooted after the uninstall.) That fixed the issue entirely. I miss the functionality of Sound Assistant so I might try reinstalling to see if it works itself out but for now having the problem fixed is very nice.

Joying Head Unit, Android 6.01, GPS Mix and Poweramp

Hi All
Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
Recently received my Joying Head Unit back from China as I had the black screen issue. Even though the unit now works and the screen is displayed, part of the Touchscreen doesn't recognize when you touch it (Oh well, back tos peaking to Candy at Joying to see what can be done)
Anyways, the issue I am having is for some odd reason, when I am using Poweramp and Waze together, Whenver I get a turn by turn direction from Waze, any music that is playing via Poweramp goes completely silent, instead of reducing the volume of the audio track.
Previously I could play Music and when a direction came via Waze it would reduce the music volume, give the direction, and then raise the music volume back up.
But for some odd reason now, its not doing it.
I've checked the 'Car Settings' option on the Joying Head Unit and can confirm that GPS Mix is On and my Navi App os set to Waze.
Is there another setting that I am missing here? How do i get it to go back to how it was?
Thanks in Advance
there is another option in Car settings, smth like "Sound Mixing Scale", that defines, how much attenuation should be applied to the music volume during navi sounds.. Try to play with this setting

I'll try that setting but I don't think its that.
Will report back in a bit
adjusting Sound Mixing Scale hasn't fixed the issue
as i don't use PowerAmp, i can't know what settings it has. Can you try to reproduce it with other music player (it is always good to test with built-in player) ?

Waze has the option to "play to phone speaker" or something alike. It changes the behavior of Waze with regard to other media output. Didi you try that setting?
