Why is the max volume for slacker radio very low. it seems everything else is loud. but very little from slacker. is this windows trying to get you to use the zune player instead?

I believe Last.fm's volume is decently loud, so that would suggest that Slacker was just written differently.

I have a MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth headset, and a G1 (Duh) with the latest Cyanogen Mod (4.1.999). I use the phone for my music as well as all the other smart phone stuff.
Now the issue I'm having is when I'm listen to music or a podcast with Google listen. the audio will cut out for a few seconds over an over and it's making it imposable to listen to music. Is there any way of fixing this issue just a side note I'm using the default music app.

What radio version do you have?
Raido-2.22.19.26i
so this is a bluetooth related or app related your taling about? can you listen to mp3 over bluetooth if its a bluetooth problem?
I can listen to music or whatever over blue tooth but it's cuting out all the time.
I believe this is a common problem for cyans latest rom, but im not sure. you can check on his google code page and see if anyone has a fix because i know a lot of people reported the problem ( i personally dont use bluetooth, so i cant really help there)
did you also try turning off wifi and seeing if it work? bluetooth is kinda like wifi with much less power. maybe turning off wifi could fix it
Just wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with Slacker Radio's audio quality streaming over Bluetooth after updating to Froyo? I have my N1 paired to a Clarion CZ500 and have had no previous issues with audio quality before 2.2 if anything the audio quality was superior. Funny thing is though, the music player plays media crystal clear, and everything else audio wise is coming through the speakers very clear. Is it possible that the audio from Slacker is getting sent over the HFP (hands free phone) instead of A2DP? I don't know much about Bluetooth stack stuff.
Also, the music player starts automatically as soon as A2DP is connected, really annoying as when I put my phone in the car dock, I have it set to launch Slacker, so it plays Slacker and the music player. Also, audio controls from the head unit seem to only control the music app instead of Slacker (never did this till Froyo)
Any help or tips would be appreciated, thanks!
I'm hearing the sane thing with my setup. I use Pandora and before froyo, it was clear but after updating, it sounds muffled. A buy worse than radio quality
My slacker is misbehaving now too. It won't open or respond sometimes after the froyo update. On a side note after the update I have noticed severely decreased audio volume from the dock speaker and audio jack output. The audio volume decreases when I put it into the dock. I estimate by 10 - 15%.
Hope this is in the right sections. Looks to be a dev issue and not really an APP.
Is it possible to increase to volume of mp3/media through a wired headset?
You can download Louder Volume Hack from the market. It worked for me. It will also make your call volume and ringtones louder. You must be rooted to use. I play Pandora through through my car stereo using an FM transmitter and it works great.

Oh really nice! Ill give it a go.
You can use this version. It works with the hero. I am not sure if the newer version does.
Just want to confirm if this is "normal": When in music player, I want to listen on my BT headset....however it doesn't "see" my jawbone...it does, however, "see" my Moto S9 headset, and works fine-no problem, since who would listen to music on a BT supposed to be used for phone use. But, when in navigation for example, with my jawbone connected, the sound of the turn by turn only comes out of the phone speaker. I would expect that it would be heard in my BT? Or does A2DP only work with headsets designed to listen to music or something? A little confusing...
Anybody weigh in on this?

Which Jawbone do you have? Only the new ICON supports A2DP. My older Jawbone II did not and would not work when playing media. With my new ICON all of the sounds come out the headset.
I have the Icon

You may need up update the firmware in your ICON to support A2DP. The earlier ones did not have that support included. It is pretty easy to do, just go the their support sight. One word of caution, their update web page will not work with Firefox and noscript enabled. You will need to use IE or temporally disable noscript.
Is anyone else having audio issues with the Droid 4? mostly when I listen to music The vocals are so quiet that I can barely even distinguish them. I've tried 4 different sets of headphones and even replaced the phone once (it had other issues too).
so I'm just curious if others are having this issue or is it simply the audio playback on these phones is just poor.
I would even like suggestions of music apps or equalizers that can enhance vocal playback.

I'm very happy with the sound on my D4. I use Poweramp to listen to MP3s off my SD card, Tunein Pro for streaming local radio and some podcasts, and occasionally Slacker & Pandora for other streaming.
The Poweramp free app is a 15 day trial, the Full Version is $4.99 in the store. It has, in my non-audiophile opinion, a kick-ass equalizer, including about 16 presets. I have no problems hearing any audio unless the source was recorded with low levels.
That being said, I'm not a big fan of the D4's speaker for listening to music, but when I'm listening to music I'm either using headphones, external speakers or I'm plugged into my car's audio system, so it's not usually an issue.
I use Volume+. It is a paid app but worth it I think. I really does boost spound with headphones, speaker, bluetooth, and in call. To mod in call you have to be rooted.

That's for the options, I will try them out. I don't think the issue is quality since I use 320 kbps mp3 files as often as possible. I'm just trying to figure out this issue before I start flashing CM9.

I too have enjoyed the audio quality and volume from my droid 4. It could be the audio files you are listening too. If you ripped them from a cd, or downloaded them from somewhere sketch, then they could just be low in volume all together.
Well I considered that too. But I listened to the same song with poweramp, with Google music, on winamp and on Pandora. Same thing, I can barely hear the vocals. It sounds fine coming out of the back speaker, or if i switch power amps setting to mono. Maybe my phone just hates stereo.

Go to phone settings > sound > media audio effects. 3D audio or whatever is probably enabled by default. This drowns out some sounds in order to make a '3D' effect. Not good for music, in my opinion.

Thank you so much. That worked. I tweaked the audio effects and other settings to make it sound how I wanted it to. I can't thank you enough this was driving me insane. Now is time to start playing with roms.
