I've been using my Pixel 2 XL for a few days now, and I've noticed that when I get a notification on Android Auto (plugged into my 2015 Hyundai Sonata), it completely cuts out the other audio while the notification shows up.
On my Nexus 6, if a notification came in it would put the car's audio into the back speakers, with lowered volume and playing the notification up front. That way I could still hear what was playing and after full audio would be in the front again.
Is there some sort of setting that I'm missing that's different between the two phones? It's pretty annoying listening to the radio and the losing all the audio while a text comes through
Both phones are using Hangouts for texts. The only differences I can tell are the N6 is on Nougat, Pixel 2 XL is on Oreo, and Micro-USB/USB-C

I just recently bought a Nexus 6, and not to long after I bought it my phones volume started to get very low. When I was on a phone call and switched to speaker, the phone starts the audio off as low, but then gets higher after a few seconds. Now when I listen to music or watch netflix, the audik starts off high at full volume, but then goes very low as if the phone had a Automatic Leveler. Is there anyone way to fix this ?

you are on stock? i didnt experience it on stock, but did on aosp. on aosp its a bug, that was fixed by a few developers.
Im pretty shocked by the nexus 6 speakers.
1. Speaker phone only works on the top speaker.
2. Anything from the lowest volume till about 2/3rds is nicley scaled then it just jumps in loudness in the last 3 to 4 clicks.
3. The stock sound is shocking bad ! Sounds like they forgot to balance bass and treble.
4. My headphone jace only seems to work with some jacks, an aux lead refuses to work in all 3 of my work vans and my old HTC headsets but works with iphone headsets and some of my aony headsets ( these all worked in my N5 )
5. Where the freekin' EQ ! Really google cant make a EQ letalone a good camera app !!!!
I am on stock. No root, no unlocked bootloader.
The funny thing is, when in place my hand over the front camera lens, and curved around the front, the volume goes back up as if there was a auto level function. If I take my hand off of that speaker, it goes back down because I am in a quite room. Something's not right with that..
I'm not rooted and I have similar issues. When I get phone calls or texts the volume starts out really low then gets high and I can't stand it. Seems to have just started doing this. Same thing when I'm talking to someone, I get a call, I answer it and I can barely hear them then 1 or 2 seconds later it's fine. Driving me crazy. Would love to get this fixed.
I ordered a DDX9702S and installed it in my '09 Civic Si. I've got a Nexus 6P and have been experiencing odd audio glitches.
When I play music, everything is fine until I get an audible notification or use the Voice Search. After that there is an audible buzzing/frying noise in the tweeters of my stereo when a bassy note hits. Once the noise starts, it doesn't stop until I reboot my head unit. Could you see if you have the same problem? I don't know whether it's Android Auto in general, my Kenwood stereo, or what. I've also reproduced the issue with 2 other Nexus 6P's and a Nexus 5, so I know it's not just my phone or model. Can anyone with the same head unit with me test out the scenario below and let me know if they've also got static? (I'm on the latest firmware, btw, from Kenwood's site)
Steps to reproduce:
App to use:
Either Google Play Music All Access or Spotify
Song to use:
Rearrange by Vérité - the beginning of the song is quiet with a bassy beat, making it easy to spot the distortion / static.
Steps:
Turn on the head unit and plug in your phone (I used a Nexus 6P and a Nexus 5)
Once Android Auto is running, go to your music app and play Rearrange by Vérité. I find its easier to play the song if you add it to a playlist titled "1" (without the quotes) first, so it's at the top of your playlists.
You'll notice that the beginning of the song is quiet with a bassy beat. After about 10 seconds, hit the microphone in the top right of the screen to activate the Google Now Voice feature. Once it gives an audible beep, hit the microphone button again to cancel.
Hit back on the screen to start the song over. At this point, on my stereo, every bassy beat is accompanied by a static in the tweeters of my stereo. This happens on every song I play, even the radio, but it's much easier to hear on quiet songs like the one I gave as a suggestion to test with.
The static continues even if you disconnect/reconnect the phone. The only think that stops it is restarting the head unit by turning it off and back on. If you use Google Now again or a notification comes in and makes an audible sound, the static will come back. It seems, to me, that any notifications or audio playback from an Android device will cause the head unit to distort the sound until the head unit is rebooted. If nothing happens to cause the distortion, sound quality is stellar.

Not sure what you mean, but I can reproduce the problem in Google Play Music or Spotify. Actually, the FM radio too, but it's hard to hear unless you know what you're listening for - then you can't unhear it.
Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
Hi there!
I was wondering if the earpiece speaker was supposed to work when you activate speaker mode during a call.
Currently I only get sound coming out from the bottom firing speaker during calls. I find the call quality and volume of the calls lacking because both speakers don't work in tandem.
I have a Pixel 4XL and just got it new out of the box yesterday. I use speakerphone a lot during conference calls and this is annoying.
Cheers! :good:
Been this way since Pixel 2.
Do other stereo phones even output speakphone to both speakers?

I'm experiencing random audio drops on my Pixel 7, only when using the phone speakers (not when using headphones). The volume will suddenly ... but very briefly ... dip. Almost like when a notification comes in, yet it doesn't coincide with notifications and it doesn't dip for as long as when a notification comes in. It's very quick, but noticeable. Curious if anyone else is experiencing that or has suggestions for how to fix it.
appears to be an issue from the Jan update:
T-Mobile is running way behind on Google Pixel security updates
Timely updates are supposed to be a prime Pixel perk
