my alarm plays in very low volume when docked on oem dock with 3.5mm jack plugged in. However, when I unplug the jack and let it sit on the dock, the alarm play normally. Im currently using Cmod 7. Any settings I can change to fix the volume? Thanks
When you first used the dock did you get a prompt about using the dock for audio? The option can be found under Dock settings. try toggling it off if it's currently on.
Edit: If you actually need it on to output music you could raise the attenuation level for Alarms under the Cyanogenmod/Sound settings. Failing that you could try a clock replacement like Alarm Clock Plus, which is totally awesome.

I'm running Froyo/CM6, by the way.
In short, anytime the phone is put into the car dock, the bluetooth media volume is set to max. If I have it connected and playing as I insert it, it's fine unttil the next track plays. I have even deleted the actual car home launcher app from the phone, although the phone still detects it has been inserted into the car dock (icon in notification.) Even selecting this icon and exiting car mode still leaves me with the same issue - volume on BT audio constantly being reset to max.
This does NOT happen on the desk dock, that works flawlessly.
Is there a way to somehow keep the phone from detecting being inserted into the car dock? Or somehow "spoofing" the dock so it thinks it's a desk dock? I haven't looked into the pins on the two docks, since I think there are 4 contacts on the phone, and only 3 pins on each dock.. so maybe one triggers normal and one triggers desk? Will get back to you all on this. But in the meantime ... help!
Thanks in advance!
Just checked, same number of pins. Although something occured to me which I will test in a bit ... perhaps there's a magnet in the base of the desk dock, which is how it knows which is which ... ?
***PROBLEM (sort of) SOLVED!!!***
No magnets involved, but when looking at the car dock, if you cover the second / middle pin with something non-conductive so the contacts on the phone don't touch that single pin when it's inserted, the phone still charges but does NOT know it's in the car dock, therefore it doesn't go all goofy with the audio volumes.
Downside is that it doesn't automatically open up whatever Car Home app you may want, but at the cost of one whole extra click .. ? Fine by me.
Photo to illustrate, maybe this will help someone sometime.
Having exactly the same issue, going nuts trying to solve it. Will try this, thanks for the tip.
Just my 2 cents :
You can try an app such as "tasker" to modify your N1 behaviour when it detects it's inserted into the car dock, and set up the volume you need.

Sorry for the bump here, but I'm having the exact same issue and for some reason changing the media volume does NOTHING for me. At any level it's full blast aside from 0 where it mutes.
Hi peeps,
I've only just noticed that when I have my dock connected to the mains and my phone is charging via it, the Steak for some reason looses all audio mad: got up late cos no alarm sound). The weird thing is that the phone will still vibrate, I've known phones in the past to disable vibration while charging but never audio. If the phone is on the dock and charging via my PC, it's fine, it's just when it's connected via the mains.
I haven't tried using my normal data cable with the mains yet (it's kept in the car for sat nav'ing or for work) but I'll give that a try.
Anyone else notice this at all and anyone know how to enable sound while charging on the mains? Thanks!
When you say "mains" does that mean wall charger?
What ROM are you running?
Hi, yeah I mean charging from the wall with the supplied USB adapter. I'm running official 2.2 BB-318 v12821 with the performance tweak. The official dock has a couple ports at the back of it, there's a mini USB port (which I connect to my PC with) and a small cylindrical power socket (the cable for that goes from a round cylinder head to a normal USB end) and I only ever have one or the other plug in.
I've just tested it with the normal data cable and it works fine. I plugged the dock back in and put the phone on it, then played some music and it actually started playing...but at a reduced volume, after I unplugged either the dock or the phone, the volume jumped up. But the next time I connect the dock or the phone back it goes back to no audio again. It's weird, somes times it'll play audio and sometimes it doesn't.
Could this have anything to do with how the music player now has a HDMI option? The reason I ask this is cos the phone automatically brings up the clock dock screen when docked with the mains connected (doens't do it when connected to the PC) and on that screen the is an option to play music.
On a side note, I can't seem to play video via HDMI any more (just says "This file is audio only") and I can't get music to go out of it either, it doesn't detect it when I have the dock connected to my TV (even with the mains connected on either the TV or on the phone). Would it make a difference it I had it connected to a TV or an AMP?
look like you have set your dock audio out mode.. i don't have problem.
when you connect your mobile in dock hit the menu button and there is option dock setting and then speaker out option then disable speaker out your done.
Thanks for the response dude, but it didn't make a difference, it still seems to randomly allow audio and sometimes it doesn't
I had that problem running the same ROM so i set the settings for the dock to ask me about audio when streak is in the dock,then i plugged in the streak and it came up asking what i wanted to do so i allowed audio then lifted it out of the dock went back into settings and changed it always allow audio and now everything seems to be OK
Cool, thanks LUFC! I think thats done it, it still doesn't like it when music is playing and you plug it in, but if you don't have music, plug it in then play music it's fine, but again, you can tell that there's a bit of a volume decrease but it'll do!
I'm running DJ Steve 1.5.1. Are there any dock settings or is it only on Stock 2.2?

Go to all Programs click on the clock when it loads up click on the middle button on the streak (menu) and thats the dock settings
THANKS I knew I saw it somewhere.
those who have the official dock can you output videos like movies that you have on yoru memory card and pass them off to your tv? or is it just videos you record?
On 1.6 I was able to play anything through the TV via HDMI only if the native player would play it, so not just recorded vids. However, ever since the official 2.2 update, I've not been able to get anything to play through HDMI....but to be fair I only had a quick play, didn't look to much into it as I don't really use it for that at all.
This was an issue for me too. I was wondering WTF was going on... Thanks guys!
I have a google car dock for my nexus one and I hook the audio through the car stereo with a 3.5mm audio cable. When it is plugged into the dock the sound is very low and the quality is terrible. If I just pull it out of the dock everything is back to normal -- this happens with all apps.
What do I have to do in order to prevent the phone from doing this while docked?
you have the exact same setup as i do and ive seen this as well, i think there is something that makes the audio play at a different volume specifically for when it is docked for some reason. im on cm6.1.1 and it seems a little better because i believe they tweaked something with it, i saw a checkin on cmsrc on twitter that modified some line with dock volume.
what ive found is if i set the media volume to about 5/8 or 7/8 then dock it the volume will make its "dock adjustment" and its up to where my car volume is from there, usually a little less distortion if the phones volume is a little lower than max. from there if i forget to set the media volume i will use the preamp slider in the poweramp music players equalizer to adjust.
i just wish the volume wouldnt change at all and the volume button on the side of the dock would change the media volume :\
side note: have you noticed that the voice search when docked doesnt pick up your voice very well? almost like the noise canceling mic is cancelling you out or something and other times it can pick up your voice great?
Actually the sound volume was solved by some user that re-compiled libaudio with the code that lowers the sound by 10db commented out. The problem I have is that the sound quality is so poor that it seems to be mono without bass.
It turns out that the crappy audio quality comes from Bluetooth being on. When I disable Bluetooth in car mode, everything is great. Unfortunately I can't figure how to make it disabled by default so I have to disable it everytime.

Hi I was wondering if there is a setting to prevent notification sounds from going through the speakers while earphones are plugged in.
Notifications sounds are only played through earphones if music is playing but through the speaker when no music is playing.
Thanks!

Oh yeah that is a nice feature but what is bothering me is that when music is paused or off, I still want to hear the text notification but only through my headphones. Smart Connect only seems to allow to manage connection of device events; I see that it can change sound modes and volume profiles but my minor annoyance is a little more specific. Right now, when music is paused/off I hear the text notification sound through my earphones (good) and also through the phone speaker ().
Weirdly enough, Whatsapp does what I want (headphone sound only). I've tried using the default sms app and Textra SMS and both still use the speakers in addition to headphones.
Hi
Did you find a solution/reason for this?
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 and the same thing happens to me. I have the headphones set as MH750 (which came with the phone) and I can't seem to find any other settings related to headphones and notifications on the phone.
For now setting the phone to vibrate or quiet/silence mode seems to work, or also turning the notification sound to 0. It makes a little sens for example if you are connected to Bluetooth headphones but don't wear them and your alarm clock goes off to wake you. That way you will hear it for sure.
Found a solution to something that was driving me crazy so I thought it may be helpful to share.
If you use bluetooth headphones/speakers like me and a song starts loud and clear but volume decreases after first few seconds you need to reattach the dongle with regular wired earphones and turn the "Enable Audio Tuner" option off.
When I first got the phone I tried regular earphones with the dongle and played around with the equalizer under "Audio Tuner". But I left that option ON before I took the earphones off. When you use bluetooth that option is greyed out so you cannot toggle. After trying a bunch of earphones and reading articles and trying to find hidden audio settings thinking "audio normalization" may be the culprit, I saw that even though greyed out, the slider was left on ON and I couldnt turn it on because I was on bluetooth.
So if it saves you several hours I'm happy to serve. Just keep it OFF if you are using bluetooth... :good:

You know what's odd, tho (coming from a mate 10 pro where that type of setting was COMPLETELY off limits if not wired): i could use it whether wired or wirelessly, but little did i know Ms. Update would along come and with her the fun gone.
It is now (9.0.11) possible to toggle the Audio Tuner while on bluetooth, however i made a suggestion to take out dynamic normalization (the thing that is lowering the volume when the song gets loud) from the Audio Tuner and make it toggleable separately.
You can like this thread so it maybe will be spotted by OnePlus team.
