Does anyone else feel like the voice volume in the Navigation app is really low? I have the volume maxed out and I barely hear the directions. I'll be playing music at the same time, which I can hear with no issues, but when a direction occurs and the music is turned down, I still can't hear the voice giving the directions.

It's a fairly well documented android 2.3.3+ issues, if using the headphone jack, and a music app then audio for voice nv is very (unbearably) low. I'm trying to see if there's a fix, but not much luck ATM.

During music play, has anyone else noticed small amount of static when changing volume. This happens to me particularly when increasing the volume control. However, it is very inconsistent. When I say static, I mean there is a volume increase (or decrease) with some amount of "other" sound added in. This was not something I noticed with my ipod touch and was just curious if anyone else has this or it's a hardware or software issue.
Do you see when playing music through the speaker only, or with earphones as well?
Speaker is not clear enough to hear if there is any audible noise during volume increase or decrease. . . also hear it when using other music players such as cubed. Also, I was listening through my earphones to Avatar and even though the audio is very clear, when increasing and decreasing the volume I still hear what I guess is better described as a small pop instead of static. That might be a better description for the music noise as well.
Static, crackle, pop
I've been listening to audio books on my Vibrant lately and I've noticed this happening a lot. I've heard it through headphones and I have even heard popping / crackling on the speaker when it plays notification sounds.
Did this turn out to be a defect or is it an issue that everyone has occassionally but just ignores?
Thanks
Does this happen when using the on-screen volume control in the music app or only the rocker button?
Mine will actually crackle even when I'm not touching it.

Yes mine too. It will sporadically "skip" in all music players whether I'm using headphones or not.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Something weird keeps happening to the Navigation sound when I'm using Gingerbread ROM's. If I have any music playing, the Navigation voice becomes really low volume.
I've tested this with PowerAmp, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Slacker Radio, and all do the same thing. However, problem doesn't come up when using Pandora. While Pandora is playing, Navigation would simply pause Pandora and speak in good volume. With the other apps, Navigation pauses the app but speaks in a really low volume. Low enough that I can't make out the words, but still know it is speaking.
At first I thought it was the leaked radio thing, but now I'm finding out it's happening with CM7RC0.3 too, which uses Froyo radio.
Anyone know if this can be fixed?
Hi all,
I am having problem with Navigon/CoPilot GPS software where the voice volume is very soft. Especially if I am using the phone to play the music as well. It seems like both of this GPS uses the System volume which I've maxed out but it just seems too soft when compare to the media volume.
Sygic seems to work fine as it uses the media volume instead of the System volume. Just that I seems to prefer the routing provided by Navigon.
I've tried using Siyah kernel but it seems even worst due to the fact that Siyah allows you the amplify the media sound which makes the voice from the GPS almost inaudible. Is there anyone else that uses either Navigon or CoPilot that knows anyway or workaround to fix this?
One way I know is to lower the media volume and just turn up the car radio when using Aux input so that both the system volume and media volume are the same but the issue is that sometimes I forget about that and just turn back on to radio without lowering down the volume. Trust me, the sudden increase in volume is not really good for the heart and not to mention the ear.
Hope someone is able to provide me with a better workaround!
Thanks!

I use Siyah here and STweaks to amplify the Speaker volume.
The default value is 57, try to use 59 or 60 it can get pretty damn loud.

Hi,
Thanks for that. But I am using it plugin to my car radio (aux in). This is so that I can listen to the music on my phone at the same time while the GPS is running. WIth the speaker volume, does that works if the output is not on the phone speaker itself?

Speaker volume = Phone's speaker..
In your case, you need to increase the headset volume, also available in STweaks with the same values (57 default).
Does anybody else's navigation volume seem very low? Like obviously too quiet? I was at full volume and could not hear it very well over road noise. Any way to increase volume?
Update: just tried playing some spotify songs over speaker and it also seems quite low for full volume. Is there a way to test speaker output to make sure they are working how they should?

I have tried a few things. I noticed slacker Pandora and iheart radio were all loud while no matter what I couldn't get the navigation voice to ever increase to the same level as them. When I disabled beats I noticed they were closer in volume level. But still not effective. Voice should be higher. Maybe if someone can verify wether or not the navigation uses beats our not would be a start.

Interesting; I'll try turning off beats and see if that helps.
When using in phone or speaker phone mode, the volume is very low - even with it maxed with the buttons. Same goes when I listen to voice mails with ATT visual voicemail app. However, when playing music the volume is quite good even at 50% volume.
I noticed that phone use uses only the top speaker, while playing music uses both the top and bottom speaker. I'd like to get louder volume during calls. Anyone have suggestions or insights?
BTW I'm rooted and running Havoc 4.8 if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
