On my Compact V, I was quite looking forward to using the radio. But whilst outdoors it is barely audible.
When I play the inbuilt MP3 player, the volume is much louder. I’ve tried various stations, but they are all equally low in volume. Reception seems to be fine. I only listen to BBC Radio4 (sorry!).
Any ideas?

The radio has it's own volume, just use the volume control on the side while the FM radio is on and displaying.

Unfortunately that doesn't help either, volume is far too low. I've been looking for a solution all over the place already too... found nothing that worked.

What happens on the display when you use the volume buttons? Because I have installed a cab on my phone which caused the volume control in the FM radio to stop working.
Yes i am surprised that nobody talk about this problem already.
It is true that the fm radio is low.
And no the radio does not have its own volume.
It is the same as the system volume.
In order to be able to hear something you must set the volume almost to the maximum.
When you receive a sms, it rings so loud into your headphone.
I tried to HD tweak but no result......

My phone's FM radio has it's own separate volume. Like I said before, that it's possible that you installed something that caused the seperate volume to stop working.

Before I installed anything on y phone, the volume had been low. I have installed tomtom7, however i dont think that is the cause.
Like I say, when I play an mp3 file, the volume is loud. At first I thought it may be to do with the reception, but all the stations are the same (there is a marginal difference is the reception is very good).
Thanks

Try this metod that works on my D2
with a reg editor modify:
HKLM\Software\HTC\FMRadio\FMPlayer
Dword: "Volume" change the value that you see, with this in decimal"4294967295" save and go on FmRadio...works? ok thats all for me naturally.

Mine was set to 43260 (Dec), I put your value and started the FM Radio, but the max volume did not increase
I quit FM Player and noticed the Volume RegKey was changed to 6180 (Dec) , obviously after I quit FM Radio.
.
Ok...6180 that's happen also fo me, but now work normally.
you can only try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534362 is the only chance you have to encreas the overal audio.
I admit that is a bad audio bug also for ring sound, i mean, i hope solve in a future rom revision.

Hi guys! Need a solution or a direction to further dig the problem.
The issue: Navigon directions are barely heard on my car stereo via bluetooth. Music sound volume over bluetooth is ok, call volume too. There are separate volume adjustments within the app's Iphone version (system and Navigon) that are not present in Android.
Device: HTC One Dev Ed, stock 4.2.1 rom
Thanks!

Nope. The problem is within android Bluetooth, there are rumors that it is going to be solved in key lime.

I did find that while voice is speaking (press the icon in the bottom left to make it speak) you can press the volume up. The internal app volume will then increase.

Thank you. Well, I think I've tried everything, including your tip, in vain. For now I am not using Navigon.
Hey there,
i have a problem since i got my One (april) but it seems to geeting worse. If i am on the phone its sometimes really hard to unterstand my partner because the speaker is so quite. I do not mean handsfree phoning, its just the internal speaker. It happens with all kinds of roms (rooted
+ s-off). Whats interesting, is that if the call is quite, and i go for handsfree it es quite as well, so i thinking about a software issue.
If i listen to musik the speaker is fine.
What could i do to search for the problem ? My phone is on the first hboot and running android 4.4 android revolution 41.0
any tips for me ?
thanks!

Their is a feature in the phone that lowers the volume of the ringtone when you pickup the phone ... it may be interfering with normal operation ..try disabling it
it's in Settings / Sound / Quiet ring on pickup and pocket mode

well their are a couple of other things .. there's a tiny mic on the backside of the phone that tells the phone your in a loud environment and to raise and lower in call volume, theirs a tweak to override it somewhere here on the forums .. I'll look for that. EDIT Found it >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406524
The other thing is the actual speaker grill can get plugged up with debris have you tried cleaning those tiny holes ?

applied the mod. did not help as well.
I think theres really some sort of HW issue, because of all the different roms i used to use there was no changes.
maybe there is some sort of mini speaker in there with a problem, or a amplifier problem

Make sure media volume is up, try alarms, try playing music, speakerphone, etc... If they are indeed defective, that is bad luck. If anyone else had this issue, this forum would be flooded with external speaker topics. So no, no one has this issue.

Yes all my volume sliders are up. I know how to use an Android phone. No sound is coming out of my bottom speakers. I can receive calls, make calls, and listen to music through headset. But no external audio will play from any source.

Hi,
I recently bought a Joying Radio for a VW, it is a 8" touch screen and so far seems to work, I only have a really annoying problem with the noise. When I am not playing any music, the speakers emit a static noise, the volume of the noise never changes even if I turn up the radio. Since I am not always listening to music, I would still like to fix the problem. I read and the Sticky thread something about ground loop noise, but could never find an explanation to it. Maybe someone of you can help me
Also my weather app doesn't seem to work, if someone has any ideas
Thanks in advance, if you need any other information for solving this problem, let me know
How loud is it?
A very low static sound is common on these units. I have it both of mine. As you noted, thankfully the volume of the static does not increase with the volume so I really don't notice it when music is playing.

You can try:
- linking the metal case of the unit to ground wire;
- shielding harness wires, as better you can

The noise is not that loud, you only hear it if you are not driving and have nothing playing.
Is the ground wire already included in the VW cabling so that I have to pull it out of the harness or do I have to run a cable myself?
As for shielding I assume I can just take some electrical tape or is there anything else recommended?
Thanks in advance!
Hi kaitzo,
take a look at this thread of carjoying forum http://forum.carjoying.com/thread-24.html there is a link "solutions for radio bad reception" that can help for your problem too...
- radio1 subfolder has pictures about shielding wires
- radio2 subfolder has pictures about linking the iron case to GND

Hey, thanks for the reply, I already noticed that when I pull out the radio cable the noise is gone, so I am gonne give shielding it a try If that doesn't work, I will try connecting the ground wire.
I'll let you know if it helped solving the problem

so I dont care about AM/FM radio. are you saying if you just left the AM/FM radio unplugged you would have no noise at all?

Yes, leaving the antenna unplugged solved the problem for me, since I will be listening to Spotify most of the time anyway it might be a solution. Nevertheless, I will try to fix it even with the Antenna plugged in. Trying the ground method next, as shielding didn't help. I also found that the VW connector and the antenna connector which was included with the car not join each other all the way, so it is always a bit loose, but even with force I can't completely join them. I will let you know if I succeed.
And??
And after all you find a solution??? I’m with same issue
Having Same Issue
Hello there,
Sorry to revive this thread a few months late, but I am having the same issue and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas to fix it. I installed a Ownice C500+ radio head unit into a 2015 Nissan Murano. Everything functions perfectly and works great - expect for one thing. Whenever the volume is on, there is a very faint staticky sound in the background. It never changes tones or volume. It just always stays at the same pitch and doesn't go away. Aside from turning the sound all the way off, the only time it doesn't do this is when I switch to the radio - then the hissing disappears and all is perfect again. But if I am playing music via USB/AUX/Bluetooth, etc, (or if I just have the volume on with nothing playing) the hissing noise is always there. It is faint and hardly audible, so during driving it is no problem. But if, for example, I am listening to a soft song while stopped at a red light - then I can hear it and it is annoying.
I have tried to change the amplifier gain in the head unit because I figured that is what is causing the noise. However, it does not seem possible in the Ownice unit. The sound equalizer does not have "gain" as an option to change, I checked into Advanced Settings as well, also tried engineer mode on Android unit, plus downloaded some equalizer apps but nothing has fixed it.
Any idea on what is causing this and what I can do to fix it? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thank you
Same here

Solved!
Asottu provided an android 7.1.2 update weeks ago. The issue is gone now. It was not an MCU update. Just Android.
@lorrys
I'm glad that fixed it for your system - I will look for an update to the Ownice unit but I don't believe they have one to go to Android 7.1.2

I did find a solution that essentially makes the problem almost disappear. If you have an Ownice C500+ unit, go into Settings, enter 1260 as password to go to hidden settings, enter the volume area, make all of those values as low as they can possibly go. Some of those will be in the negative. When you reboot the system, the sound is essentially inaudible and that solves the problem.

i think the issue is the am/fm antenna, get a noise filter antenna adapter, might solve the issue
hi, I have an eonon ga8161, it would be hct px3 7.1 if I'm not mistaken.
I also have the background volume problem, but it is almost inaudible.
the most obvious problem is a rustling metallic type rustling noise, which is heard when there is processing from a USB device, both pendrive and USB dashcam ... someone has had this problem, because it is very annoying
