Hi,
I use my Andoid phone in my car via Android Auto
Google Pixel 3aXL
Andrid version 9
Spotify version 8.5.17.676
Vauxhall Astra -
Unit R4.0
HW version: E2
SW versiom: IP25.1.1(1.25.1.10)A
IPL version: 1.0.0.0
The volume on Spotify is very low. Other music streaming apps i have (Plex) seems to be fine, but spotify is very low
I've seen a few people have this issue, so i've tried toggling the following options:
Normalise volume
Different EQ settings
Setting volume to loud
High quality (at least)
Downloading playlists
Disabling EQ
What gets me is that when you play a song, its quiet. If i skip throug tracks, the first second is loud (well, would be normal volume, but as my stereo is set very high to hear it, its very loud) and then it goes back to being quiet. This is for all tracks!
If i change the bluetooth volume on my phone, as although it connecte via USB, i believe all audio goes through bluetooth still, it makes no difference. Loud, quiet, silent, music plays at the same volume
On a different note, if i change the audio input whiel using Spotify, to DAB radio say, toggle through FM, AM etc kac to USB (AA) there is no longer any sound from any app - Google maps stops talking to you, Spotify is playing, but you cant hear it. Activating the Googler assistant voice command doesnt make the beep sound to say its ready for a command, its completely dead.
The only ways i have found around this is to remove the USB cable from my phone, plug it back in and re-lauch AA. Not ideal, plus if you do this a few times AA just completely stops coming up on the car ehad unit, until the car is turned off and started again.
The other way seems to be to pause Spotify, open Plex, play a song, pause it, play it, and then i can hear that song. I can then stop Plex songs, toggle back to Spotify and play, and hey presto i can hear Spotify, Google Maps starts talking to me again (telling me ive gone the wrong way from fking aroudn with the screen for too long)
Not great
Anybody have any similiar issues or advise, im all ears please!!
