Hello,
As far I have learned from this forum about my PX3 i don't know how my HU is managing with audio streaming. I've recently made update from Malaysk 4.1 to 5.2, but thats no ROM issue (i think) So here we go:
All options with the same system volume level!
Navigation setting in system settings set to "Mixing" and "mixing ratio" at 10 and IGO itself setting on max volume (for all the time without any changes).
1. When radio app is off and IGO navi on, prompts can be heard from all speakers loud enough.
2. When radio plays and IGO on, voice prompts can be heard from front speakers only and are quieter than radio itself. Turning radio app off, voice of IGO can be heard again from all speakers and louder.
3. With Music player on, source USB drive, music is significant quieter in compare with radio.
4. With that quieter music from USB, IGO voice becomes louder approx. double than music player, so when You listen to music on road with volume up, IGO can blast ears/mind.
The most strange thing is difference between point no1 and no2. With changes of firmware it didn't change nothing.
Any suggestions?

Guys, and you please test this ??
If you stream by a2dp two sounds like music from touchflo3d and voices from gps software or music from another program (like pocketplayer), the second stream lowers the volume of the first and the sound of the second stream comes very distorted !! I can not use music plus my gps software because the guidance voice comes too loud and distorced. Since the pro2 uses widcomm bluetooth stack you cannot adjust the output volume for the bluetooth device. Tested on several a2dp enabled receivers and all present the same problem. The second stream comes distorted .
Any help/ideas on fixing this is welcome.
thank you
the file responsible for the volume/gain/clipping is wavedev.dll
I need some expert help on lowering the gain !! it's there..
I can lower the volume by long pressing the Play Button on my A2DP Headset

Have you tried the setting in the BT stack to transfer all system audio to BT?
If this is enabled, try disabling and see if the GPS comes through the Rhodium speakers.
The volume level is annoying, I shall add this to the list of annoyances and required bugfixes, I am sure it can be enabled. Not all A2DP headsets have their own volume controls.
Cheers,
Beasty
thank you for the sugestion but already tried it. When 2 audio streams are played, the second has distortion, but not all second streams. The stock ringtones are ok and tomtom too but navigon is not and most of my ring tones. The moste simple test is pocket player + tf3d music tab at the same time. The second stream makes the pro2 audio stack make cliping due to the high gain on the second stream. Looking at Wavedev.dll you see the strings for "secondstream gain".
I tried some a2dp receivers and all shows the same problem.
I don't think that a simple reg will fix this. Googling for this problem i came across some ppl with the same problem some years ago
why don't you try it andd see it for yourself?
Thank you
I has this problem w/ my old Asus P525 (widcomm bt stack) as well. BTW, does TP2 will drop A2DP connection after phone call which exist on all HTC device w/ MS BT stack?
well i never suffered from that on any htc phone. Where a2dp keeps connected
I have a pair of bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth receiver in my car.
Once i pair either one to my Touch Pro 2, i noticed that raising/lowering the volume on my HD2 does not affect the audio what so ever(unless i put it on mute).
The music sounds very loud and distorted, and i cant control the volume either way...Anyone else run into this issue? How can i solve it?
That's normal. You need to adjust the volume at the receiving end.
I have the exact same problem. Not sure why as when I pair up to my speakers, the phone tells me it cannot control the volume, yet it worked fine on my "Touch Pro" (the 1st one) and my Kaiser. Not looked for a solution, because its not much of an issue for me really.

But the problem is that, the audio being streamed from the HD2 is so loud and distorted, that i have to turn it down(but i cant).
So even if i turn it down on the receiving end, the distortion is still there.
With my old samsung omnia, i was able to turn the music up or down from the phone...I dont understand why this isnt possible with the Touch Pro 2.
The music coming from my phone is unlistenable. The distortion ruins the audio. Which really sucks, because i spent $300 on a car reciever with bluetooth!
There has to be a solution! Come on XDA!
Try turning it down on the phone first? Or get a player that uses it's own volume control instead of the system volume (I believe Mort Player and Nitrogen will do this).

Same problem here!!!
No volume control at all on TP2, and volume of music cant be changed through the system volume control either
I have a bluetooth connection to my motorcycle intercom system. I had the same problem, sort of.
I installed Conduits Pocket Player, and use the equalizer to bring down the level of the Bluetooth. That worked well enough for what I needed to do.
I read somewhere else on the forum here that this issue is attributed to the Widcomm Buetooth stack on our phones. Whenever I connect my headset to my phone or my laptop, I receive a warning that the volume must be adjusted on the output device, and cannot be adjusted on the phone/computer. It may be related to the poor support for AVRCP.

ok, so it seems that this wincomm bluetooth stack or whatever SUCKS. You're right....I guess the only work around i guess is a player that doesnt use the system volume, like coreplayer.
Coreplayer is great for movies, but for playing mp3's i would prefer Slide 2 Play.
Havent tried nitrogen yet though.
Does a mp3 player exist that is similar to slide 2 play, but doesnt use the system volume of the phone?
I too am not able to use many of the bluetooth audio accessories such as my jabra headphones, desktop speakers and my indash audio system. None of which work as they did with my Kaiser. This was supposed to be an upgrade to my Tilt and it doesnt even support the OLD protocals that were common 2 years ago?? Im seriously considering switching to blackberry. Anyone intrested in a nearly new Tilt 2. Goodbye htc (high tech crap)
THis is a problem with the bluetooth stack, just email HTC so they can get a patch for this. or microsoft because they are the ones that control what stack it gets.
this Goes for the HD2 and others too
I've been having a problem where if I connect my phone to my car audio via bluetooth, and use both the music app (MIUI to be exact) and navigation, the navigation sound is EXTREMELY low. And yes, I did turn up the navigation sound to max.
In order to work around this, i have to turn my media volume really low, and then pump up the car audio volume.
I searched through the forums, but did not find a solution to this problem.
Have anyone ever seen this? Is there a fix for this?
Navigation volume is separate, have you tried turning the volume up while the navigation app is in the forefront?
The same thing happens to me on CM7 using Google Listen while connected to my car stereo via the headphone jack. The odd thing is that it's usually normal for the first 1 or 2 instructions and then it goes all weird. I have the nav volume maxed out... No idea why it happens. I've given up and just muted the nav sound and look at the screen periodically.
Running a bone stock OP3, non-rooted, no mods, on the Community Build. Since the latest update, my BT audio is weird.
I pair my phone to my motorcycle helmet. Its a Shoei GT Air with a Sena 20S Comm system installed. It's a very nice unit.
So what happens is that when I push the button on the comm to activate Google Now, so that I can speak to my phone and tell it to dial, get directions, play music, etc... No matter what volume level I set my phone to, or the headset, the "beep" and "Ok" that Google Now speaks when you activate it, blows out my eardrums. It is like WAY high volume, 5x as loud as the music or anything else. I have gone through the comm system settings and there is nothing in there to mess with. I also notice that the volume of Google Now only goes that high when the screen of the phone is off. If the screen is on, then the tone is the same level as whatever music is playing, etc...
If I turn the screen off and the music is at a normal listening level and I hit the button to make a call or fast forward to the next some, that damned Google Now tone is back to ear shattering levels...
I am convinced that it isn't the comm system, because a google search shows similar issues with Android phones and BT over the past few years...
Another weird thing, is that when I turn on and pair the comm system and I hit the button to activate Google Now, if I do it 5 or 6 times in a row, it will eventually revert to normal audio levels, the same as the music or navigation... But when I turn off the comm, then the next time I turn it on I have to do it all over again...
Very annoying but I an convinced that it isn't the comm system. It seems to have started last week when the new Open Beta came out and I installed it.
Now, I have unpaired, deleted and repaired the connection, I have wiped cache and stuff, but I can't seem to get this to work right.
Any ideas?
It has to do with how Bluetooth handles its datastream.
Bluetooth has very limited bandwidth, so it has to allocate based on the situation. When streaming music from your phone to the BT device, it can dedicate the entire bandwidth to the unidirectional stream. However, if you need to use the helmet's mic, then BT has to use the same limited bandwidth to stream data in both directions. This is why BT devices have notable audio quality degredation when used to make calls.
When your screen is on, Google Assistant/Now will acutally use your phone's mic to listen for commands rather than your BT's mic, which means that it does not have to change protocols and reduce audio output bandwidth.
To address your issue with Google Assistant/Now's increased volume, try to place a call while your helmet is connected to your phone and reduce the volume while in call with your phone's volume buttons. Hopefully, the volume change will stick when your helmet uses the same two-way protocol when using the voice assistant.
Try:
Developer options -> disable absolute volume
Tried that Developer Option, made no difference. It's clearly something else going on under the hood. Other Android phones have had it over the years when connecting to BT devices... I guess I will have to just live with it.
Hello everyone,
I have two questions regarding my head unit looking for your help.
I've been using the head unit XTRONS PB78TRVP for almost one year on my VW and since new I have been noticing that I am unable to control the audio volume balanced with all the apps, specially while using the radio.
The issue is that while using broadcast radio, the audio volume is too high, not balanced with the rest of the multitasking applications running in parallel.
As an example, if the audio volume while playing a radio station is set two 4, the GPS application volume when pops an audio message can't be heard as the GPS application message is very low, even if the music from the radio is temperarly muted while audio played from GPS is being heard.
This behaviour is the same independent from what GPS application is being used.
Remembering that this is happening only when using the radio as if the music is being played from an MP3 list or CD/DVD, the audi volume is balanced with the rest of the applications (including phone).
This head unit has currently installed Android 8.0. Is it possible to be upgraded?
Thanks in advanced.
Hello,
Isn't there anyone capable to help me?
Thanks

Hi. I have the same unit. Go to settings, Car setting, Factory settings and type 126 for the pin. This will take you to hidden settings where levels can be adjusted.
