[Q] AUX Playback Volume coming from phone is randomly low (but not always) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Gentlemen,
My friend has an original, unrooted S4.
I am waiting for the exact model number, but I believe it's the i9500.
She mentioned that when she plays music from her phone to her car stereo, the volume is often (but not always) low, and yes, phone volume is cranked up all the way.
When this happens, she has to raise the car stereo volume considerably in order to be able to listen.
So far, she's tried two different cables. Also, she's currently driving a dealer issued loaner and observed the same issue.
I've read the S4 FAQ and performed a Search. I couldn't find anything.
Have you guys ever heard of a similar issue with the S4?
Thank you in advance.

...anyone?

OMGGG HAHAHAHAHAHAH
but did you try to install wanam xposed and then you go to Sound and there you can change some sound things, I'll screenshot it.
I don't know if it would work but you could try, and try to download a other music player.

That's what I use and it is great (I also use DFX Player Pro).

Same here. Phone is set to level 15 and usually have the car stereo set to 30 out of max of 35. Always been like this even when I had a S2 and S3 as well.

Question for the experts?

Hi there experts and non-experts I've got a question,
maybe simple for you guys but not for me so here it goes.
I've got the following Logitech Wireless Headphones:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
I connect to my computer through bluetooth stick so I thought that I could connect with my telephone for listening to music or watching youtube. WOULD BE GREAT, because I am sick of the wires.
It works! but how? well I have to lookup my headphones EVERYTIME I want to listen to it, I have to find my headphones again and add it, and it doesnt work everytime. I am getting sick since it costs about 2 or 3 minutes. -_-"
Is there some sort of program wich let me connect with a certain bluetooth device? since my headset is only waiting for my USB BLUETOOTH not for my phone.
Hope someone knows an answer or something! =$
Greetings,
tjeM
BUMP!
Another thing was that my youtube starts lagging/shocking when I use my wireless headphones, really weird?
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks,
tjeM.
you need to pair the headphones with your Touch HD, not with your computer.
Obviously, the headphones do not support more than 1 paired device.

Not so weird. A2DP coding takes some resource. And if you had tweaked the device for better A2DP audio quality it could have this effect. It was really bad on HTC TyTN and got better on the Diamond/HD.

Using my iPhone Earbud+Mic works fine in the audio jack.

I'm puzzled by the various confirmations that the jack is TRS (meaning it can't have a mic) because I did several tests by tapping on the mic quietly and talking while disconnecting the headset from the jack and you can clearly hear the difference so, somehow, it's TRRS.
For what it's worth I received my N10 last week. I'm running 4.3. Wish these things had a hardware/motherboard rev number I could quote but I can't find one.

It's funny, but my Sony headphones didn't work . But my Samsung S4 headphone worked fine and also a cheap one I got because my other ones broke. Guess it's some devices that has incompatibility.

Only thing I can think of is that according to the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)
There's two standards for TRRS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So since i'm using my Apple headset then the N10 conforms to the "latest" version of the standard.

Bad call quality, ok on speaker

I have the following problem:
I have bought 2 nexus 4 and combined those two to 1 working N4.
I'm getting complaints from people that they can't hear me to well.
We I put it on speaker they can understand me perfectly.
Would this be a hardware or software issue?
I'm running M915A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.98 hybrid radio and Nexus 5 experience Rom.

The only way you can find out is by flashing a completely new ROM (after you backup, of course) with a full wipe, and trying to call someone. If it works, then it's software. If not, it's hardware.
My take on it is that it's software; microphone is working while on speaker..

Ok, I found the cruelpit.
it was the usb port board that was faulty.
I ordered one from ebay because my port was broken, however it is missing something on the mic.

The bad one doesn't have a black film over the speaker.
I replaced the usb port from an other n4 and sound quality is back to normal.

6T - all audio has defended

Something has changed and now all audio (Bluetooth and speakers) have gotten really quite, about half as loud at max volume, maybe a bit less.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls this, or anywhere i should check?
Running stock except that it is rooted with Magisk, have the latest update (it might have started happening since that update, but I'm not entirely sure)

Normally max volume would blow my ear drums, but I'm barely hearing anything at max now :/
Interestingly, the instructions given here seemed to help with my Bluetooth audio:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-can-i-increase-bluetooth-volume.3359321/post-83685915
But when they are disconnected and connected again, the volume level is different :/ and also, each ear is a different volume (1more true wireless connect as two audio devices)
@mattisdada Hi! As you've posted in the Oneplus 6 forum but your thread title states "6T" just the question if your device is a OP 6T? If latter is the case, do you want me to move your thread to the Oneplus 6T forum?
Oh, sorry, that'd be lovely if you could

Headunit not outputting sound through the iso connection.

Hi! I bought a headunit recently and when I fitted it in my car (a Peugeot 107) everything worked well besides the audio. When I put the key in and turn it just to power the headunit, the sound works as expected, but the moment I start the car, the sound is gone, nothing sound-related works. Sometimes when I hit the little "RST" button with the engine on, the sound comes back, but that's not the case every time. I tried looking into the settings, even in the factory settings, I tried looking through all the options, but I didn't find anything.
The unit is connected to my car just through a normal iso port, which has the cables for both the power and the speakers (I do not have any rca cables in my car):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My theory is that this is a software problem and it pushes the audio through the rca connectors instead of the iso one. This is the only thing that makes sense to me since a complete reboot of the device seems to more or less solve the issue temporarily. As a workaround, I thought that maybe there's an adaptor to convert my speakers to rca and plug them in that way, but I couldn't really find something that would work.
I am not sure what model do I have since there's nothing on the box that would tell me, but I made some photos of the specs so I hope that's enough to somewhat identify it:
This issue drives me mad to be honest, especially because everything else works fine.
Thank you!
