Sound issues in Android Auto persist as many users complain that Waze volume on Android Auto has gotten worseby syncing with the same volume of the rest of mobile audio such as music or other apps.
Waze, like other navigation apps, has its own setting for the volume of its directions, which is very useful because you will want to make sure it plays to the music or other apps, which is not happening with the latest app updates and is a concern for drivers.
The same volume for everything
If you go to the Waze settings on your mobile, in the Voice and sound section, you will find a “Directions volume” which allows you to control whether you want the directions to sound louder or quieter. In Android Auto, this setting does not exist in Waze, but When adjusting music volume, Waze volume did not change. Now yes.
This poses two problems. On one hand, there are drivers complaining on Reddit about trying to turn down the volume of music or podcasts to hear directions, but This also reduces Waze volume. The opposite also happens: they want to turn up the music and the volume of the instructions also increases, ending with shouting.
The error seems to have appeared at some point in the last few weeksaround version 5.2 of Waze. One possible solution is to install an older version of Waze and wait patiently for Google to fix the error.
Nevertheless, there is another way to solve itat least in certain cases: adjust the volume of Waze directions in the application settings on your mobile, by Voice and sound. This way you can reduce the volume of the prompts and you should be able to continue playing music or podcasts louder. It won't work as much on the contrary, since the default volume for Waze indications is the maximum.
It should be noted that this error This doesn't happen with other navigation apps like Google Mapswhich keep the volume indications separate from the rest in Android Auto. It therefore seems to be a Waze error, even if it remains Google's responsibility in any case.
