Extremely low Bluetooth volume? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I swapped from a Nexus 5 to the 6P, and I'm finding bluetooth volume to be incredibly low. I basically can't hear my audiobooks in the car with it being as low as it is. This is a serious problem for me. I have the volume maxed and it's like a whisper.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to boost the volume? My bootloader is unlocked, but I am not rooted yet.

I have had the same issue. Car was fine, but my sound bar was SUPER quiet. I had to delete the sound bar and re-pair and it was fine.
I have also had issues where the sound coming out of the phone was super quiet, I had to reboot to get that to resolve.
I think something is wrong with the bluetooth on my phone. I am contacting Google.

[Q] Has the focus audio volume issues been sorted out yet?

Tried to ask in another thread but it was kinda off topic.
Last I knew people were playing with diagnostic codes but there was no consensus on what did or did not work.
Audio from the headphone jack and seemly the blue tooth was too quiet.
Is this still an issue?
Is that a no?
In all truth, i don't use the bluetooth. But i just checked my headphones, and they sound OK. My sony earphones work great on the phone. I did d/l that one app... Media Volume Settings and set the volume all the way to 100...that may be what is making mine work better. Hope this helps!
haven't tried Bluetooth...
But when i tried headphones it was waay to loud even at 1.
I don't know how to lower the volume using codes.
You should look through the diagnostics codes thread. It has some stuff about sound changes in there as well as some of the registry tweaks you should look up if you're unhappy enough with it to need to change something.
Funkadube: I did and couldn't seem to get any reliable change. Plus having to redo it everytime I restarted the phone seemed crazy.
I know when I had mine the volume level out of the head phone port was NOT loud enough when hooked to my car radio even though every other phone I've ever had was. You'd have to goto MAX VOLUME to get it very loud and if it was a quiet song or something not at loud (I'm staring at YOU SLACKER RADIO) then you could barely get it listenable.
I then installed Bluetooth module into the car and had the same issue with it also.
I'd wish I knew someone with one I could test IRL to see if its still a problem. I'd love to switch back to WP7...
Is there a way to boost the out-of-call Bluetooth volume on the Samsung Focus? Between builds 7712 and 7720, the Bluetooth volume for voice dial responses, TellMe, and text-to-speech were drastically reduced and now they are so low that I can't hear them with the phone turned all the way up to 30/30. I used to use the phone at 20/30 with my car's Bluetooth without a problem on 7712 and 7390. Has anyone else noticed this change since upgrading to 7720?
I didn't see other people complaining about the volume in the accessories thread.
I also have a bt headset and works fine for me.

I have a Bluetooth headset and it isn't as bad with the headset. But the text-to-speech is still significantly lower than call volume. In fact, the real issue is that there's a huge imbalance between the out-of-call volume and in-call volume with Bluetooth headsets in 7720.
As I mentioned before, when the phone is paired to the car I can turn the phone up to 30/30 from 20/30, but I still have to boost the volume from the car side about 5 levels higher when I'm out-of-a-call to get any decent level of audio out of the phone. The problem then is that when I take a call it is way too loud and I have to rush to turn down the volume on the car side. It makes the use of the feature so inconvenient that I've just turned it off. While I would be perfectly content with Microsoft returning volume levels to what they were since 7004, I'd just as readily use the Samsung Diagnostic app to make the adjustment myself, if it is possible. I'm looking for any remedy at this point.
Text-to-speech was the feature I was looking forward to the most in Mango, and now it's the only feature of the OS I can't use. I can't express how frustrated and disappointed I am that this has happened, and I just can't understand why this change was made. I've seen no reports of anyone ever complaining that the volume was too loud before 7720. It's one thing if I was seeking a feature that wasn't implemented, but it is implemented and it's broken. I just wish there was some solution or recourse to make it usable again.

[Q] Q Audio Reset

I was getting horrendous distortion from my speaker and assumed that it had somehow blown. I'd never installed any volume enhancing apps and to be honest had just decided to live with it.
I then connected to my Jambox via Bluetooth however the delay was handicapping me at songpop (yes I was that bored). However when I switched off the jambox and the internal speaker kicked in my distortion was gone, and noticeable quieter.
The question is does anyone know of any apps that have self-contained volume boost that might have caused this?

Bluetooth Volume Low

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to boost bluetooth playback volume. I have beats wireless studio headphones and they are definitely not as loud as they were when using them with my g3 on CM12. I do remember them being this low on the stock lg rom but when I switched over to CM the sound drastically increased. I am looking for a no root solution if possible as I am stock for the time being. I can't even feel any bass from these things and that's what they are supposed to be for lol. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Interesting. CM12 killed my BT volume on my HAM2. I find BT audio to be just as loud as other devices I have. One thing I've noticed is that BT max volume seems louder if I make sure volume is maxed out before pairing, especially on devices that take over phone volume controls.
Unpair the headphones. Turn phone volume to maximum. Turn headphones volume to maximum. Then pair.
I'm interested as well the mixer_paths would be where we need to look but they look different than I've seen before. I've found a mod from 2014 I'll report back.

Has someone sorted out the bt volume? I also have a very low volume over the bluetooth music, as I'm using it in the car...
It also depends on the headphone I have different Bluetooth headphones and some are loud and some are not.
Well it's not headphone previous nexus 5x was fine, if there is a way to increase bt volume
Viper4arise solved the problem, however 7.1.2 also make the bt volume normal, problem fixed
Just is someone have the samr issue
The P9 is also a little less loud on BT than any other phone i had.

Low volume with Bluetooth.

Overall om really satisfied with my x style but I have one really annoying issue with mine, low Bluetooth volume both in calls and music podcasts etc. Coming from a opo where I had no issues with volume at all this is a bit of a let down. I thought that mm would solve it, a bit at least (why I thought that, or have no idea hoping for the best I guess.) but it's still at max setting it's just a tad bit higher than normal speaking volume.
Is there any one else that have experienced this? Maybe there's even a fix?
headset is sony sbh20, I actually have two same issue with both but not on the opo
I use the Moto Surround headphones. Volume is OK but could have just a little more boost for noisy environs or when I'm doing the vacuuming!
For Podcasts I use Pocket Casts which has a volume booster which works. Also the best podcaster out there.
I mainly use pocket casts and Google music, but I've also tried Spotify, songza youtube, and it's the same issue, been fiddling with gmusics eq doesn't matter. The front speakers works great so I assume there's some conflict with the headset, fu*k i don't know.
I just switched from a Note 3, and at least for my car radio, the sound is MUCH louder than my note 3. I'm at almost 1/2 volume on my Pure, and on my Note 3, I have to have it at max (Override the volume limiter) to keep from going deaf when I switch to the radio!!!!
My bluetooth volume kind of sucks too. In my car, if I take the phone and connect via Bluetooth I have to crank the volume to ~75% to be listenable, while if I take the same phone and car and plug in the aux jack, volume can be half of that.
It's a real bummer because I really like the freedom of bt, I can leave my phone anywhere in the apartment and just use the headset. Wired headphones paired with my phone is just a hassle

Low in-call volume

Hello,
Am I the only one who experiences very low and distant in-call volume? It's driving me nuts, because it's impossible to speak with people over the phone. I'm on 9.0.11, rooted. I tried the MSM tool to wipe my phone and start from scratch, but the issue persists. Also, if I connect it to a BT receiver, e.g. car audio, and make a call, I can hear loud and clear. It's the phone's speaker that's causing issues. Does anyone know how to fix it or should I go for RMA?
Does other media / ringtones play through the speaker at reasonable volume? If not then probably a bad speaker. If other media plays loud just calls sound quiet it seems like a configuration issue; not sure why it would be persistent past MSM reset.
