Low notification volume when playing music (after 14.3.A.0.757) - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after updating my firmware to 14.3.A.0.757 I started experiencing this problem:
When I'm playing music any type of alert sound is extremely low, almost inaudible. This also includes google maps navigation voice. I usually pair my phone with my car via bluetooth while driving. If I'm not playing music then the turn by turn voice guidance sounds fine at full volume.
Is anyone else experience this problem? or know how to fix this?
to do a simple test just play music and turn on voice guidance to a random place, see if the volume dips low when you start the navigation
Thanks!.

Did any Diamond owner try this ?

I wish to use my PPC phone for playing MP3 and GPS navigation at the same time when I am driving. But it was a no go for my current Hermes + BT GPS setup as it cannot handle both application together (not to mention when call comes in, it completely hang and need reset!)
May I know Diamond's hardware is fast enough to handle below scenario without lag ?
1. Playing MP3 and GPS navigation turned on
2. Whenever there is an alert from navigation S/W(for turn, notification), pause MP3 and play the prompt. After that, resume MP3 playback.
3. When there is call in during MP3 playback and navigation, allow me to accept the call. At call end, resume MP3 playback and navigation.
Did anyone try this ? Thank you !
i tried it out with the radio and that works
Same here, just returned home from driving with both the FM radio and GPS on,
no problems at all.
Sound is not muted during driving instructions though.
I confirm, can listen to mp3s and GPS at the same time, the music IS NOT muted when prompting "After 300 meters turn left"
When playing MP3s and receiving a call, music is paused, then when call is ended, music restarts where left off.

[Q] Notification sounds while listening music over bluetooth headphones

Hello guys,
I noticed today while at work that when I get emails, messages, text, etc the phone only plays the notification sounds on on my headphones and not in the phone itself. I already missed a few notification because of this because the notifications sometimes blend in with the music and playing. In my EVO 3D the notification sound played on both bluetooth and phone at the same time and also the music sound will stop to play the notification sounds in the bluetooth headphones. I checked the setting but I didn't found anything to fix this Anyone else has this problem or a solution?

[Q] No Notification Audio while Audible is Playing Over Bluetooth

I am running Audible 1.7.0 Build 3055 on Lollipop 5.0.1 and when I am listening to a book, notifications will pause the book, but will not play over bluetooth. This happens when I am using Google Maps navigation and other notifications as well. The book will pause, long enough for the turn by turn directions to play, then unpause but I cannot hear the navigation audio. This doesn't happen when not connected to bluetooth. Any ideas?

Navigation Volume Level

Hey Everyone,
I recently started having this weird volume problem while using navigation on AA. The navigation volume always used to match the other voice alert volumes, but now the navigation is a lot louder. Now when I have navigation at a good volume, I can't hear my texts being read.
Not sure if it's something with an AA update, or a Maps update. Is anyone else having this issue, or notice any volume changes like that?
Yes... it seems a recent update to Android Auto moved the navigation volume from the 'alerts' channel to the main Android Auto channel. Please leave feedback for Google within the Android Auto app if you want to see the old behavior restored.
Google… why do you do this? It was fine before you monkeyed with it. Put it back the way it was.
If you want your texts louder, try upping the 'alerts' volume.
On my 4100-nex my navigation volume was loud but when changing the volume there is an alerts button that I used to lower the volume. I have the newest android auto version installed
I have the same set up, lowered the alert volume down to 2 to get good navigation volume, but then if I get a message its too low for that. I used to keep it on 8 for everything, even when I was bumping music at 20 the alerts were good at 8.
I did notice that when music wasn't playing the navigation was louder than normal before this problem started, but now its always "that" loud, even with the music.
It really randomly started one day when I had navigation with no music and it seems to have just stayed at the louder volume. I guess for now I just need to remember to keep the alert volume down when I'm using navigation

Volume settings per app?

Hi,
I'm on VTR-L29C432B123 and looking for a solution to set different volume for sort of apps.
For example, I'm listening to music with Spotify and use Sygic as GPS, both via Bluetooth audio.
The Sygic voice is way too loud when I have the music on a good volume.
In iOS, which I was using for 9 years before I got the P10, it was possible to set the volume for each app by pressing just the volume buttons.
Android just set the Bluetooth-Media volume.
I tried App Volume control to set the volume for sygic a bit lower on Bluetooth, but it sets the whole audio stream on this setting, when I open Sygic.
So, is there any other possible solution for that?
