Hi to all, I have audio ducking when playing mixtrax app thru Bluetooth and AA using Google maps or Waze when I have a driving announcement, is there any settings suggested? Thanks.
I don't really understand what do you mean by ducking? Are you talking about the decrease of music level during navigation announcements? If yes, then there is nothing to do but to disable the announcements in the navigation app. For me, for example, the navigation map on my car's display is enough, I too don't use navi announcements because I don't like the music interaptions.

Yes, exactly, even if I disable announcement I have music interruptions when Google maps recalculate itinerary, what can I do? Thanks
This shouldn't happen. Are you sure that the interruptions occur only when gmaps recalculates?
I'm asking because I also have something similar, but the music volume doesn't go to zero. I think that this kind of interruptions, which in my case are occurring at any time, not only when Waze recalculates, are due to other notifications you are receiving on your phone, like emails, whatsapp messages etc. I didn't find a way to get rid of this kind of interruptions. But try disabling messages notification in AA. I found today that you can access some AA settings, especially those related to notifications, straight from the car's screen.

Im not sure if its a glitch with my Pebble, or a problem with the software in general. Using the stock music player, i am able to correctly use the controls; play/pause, next and previous track. however even though the Pebble is set to use PowerAmp for my music, the display only shows one song and it isnt the song thats currently playing. Nor does it change when i go to different tracks
Anyone else have this issue? any resolutions? I also wouldnt mind a recommendation for a music app to throw on here, the only ones that looked decent are paid
Your music app on your phone isn't broadcasting AVRCP, common issue.
To fix this and get a vastly superior music control watch app - get Music Boss for Pebble.

You don't need to pay money for silly music pebble apps. Go to the bluetooth settings in power amp and toggle metachange intent to ON. That is all.

I would hardly call the best App for Pebble, written by the most responsive and user focused Pebble developer, "silly".

Hi, so since version 9.5 of Google Maps, there was supposed to be a "Voice Level" setting under Navigation Settings, which you could set to quiet, normal, or loud. My phone has never had this setting. Even after updating to version 9.6, I'm not seeing that option, this is all I see:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0eesu7hw7ijaebd/2015-03-19 19.39.51.png?dl=0
Is this what you guys are all seeing? Is this something with our phone where we don't get the option, or what? Any idea how to get it to show up?
I have a z3v,which is probably running a similar Sony android. I have the same problem. I can see an option to turn off bluetooth audio, but navigation audio is missing. I set my preamp low on Neutron music player to boost 20hz, so navigation audio it too loud. On my Droid DNA audio level is there on latest maps. I use ViPER4Android on both phones.
I've never seen this feature in any version of Google Maps going all the way back to the days of ginger bread, nor have I even heard of this feature. I just miss being able to control nav volume independently of the the media volume (like it was in Froyo). Is there any app that can mimic this?
Until about a week or so ago when I connected N6 to car system via bluetooth and used google maps, I got just the google nav voice. Now I start hearing media files, even ringtones and movie sound tracks. I have turned off settings for autoplay in Bluetooth settings, and try to turn off in PowerAmp. Problem is if I stop or pause the playing of the sound track in Poweramp then I lose the Nav voice as well. If I pause or stop the track playing in the car system I also lose the nav voice sound. I have flashed nothing at all between the acceptable nav-voice-only behavior and the onset of the automatic media file playing. Only thing that has happened was playstore updates including PowerAmp, and Google Maps. I did a search in this forum but found nothing about this. Driving me more nuts than usual.
Any help would be appreciated .
Seriously? Only 2 of us have this problem? Really need solution as Google navigation is basically useless until this is solved.
I've had the same problem. I haven't found a solution. I think using voice control has something to do with it.

Bump. Really need help, guys.
Do you ever use Google Music in your car?
I don't know if this will be the answer or not, but if you do have it, it's possible some of these files ended up in the queue. Open up Google Music and click the three dots in the upper right. There should be an option in there to 'Clear Queue' or something like that.
Since this seems to be more or less random media files and not actually songs, I don't know if this is the fix or not, but worth giving a shot.

I just started having this problem as well, and I have no audio player app (rely on built in player of ES File exporer). If you pause the song playing, then Navigation voice works. But whenever the voice says something, the audio file it randomly selected advances that amount of time as though it's playing too

Thanks for your response. No, don't even have Google music. I use poweramp but will see if I can clear queue or something. I haven't used it in the car but that's what is playing the sound files. I went into Poweramp while the sounds were playing and paused it and the sounds stopped. But Nav voice never came back.

So strange. Have you tried using nav (walking maybe?) while not in the car? I'm wondering if you could point it to an app problem or possibly bluetooth problem. What about if you use the nav in the car without going through bluetooth?
I'd also try freezing PowerAmp while using Nav and seeing if that works.
Try to eliminate as many variables as possible and see if you can pinpoint exactly what's causing the issue, then maybe we can find out why.
Other ideas would be clearing data from PowerAmp, test, Maps, test, then Google's voice-to-text or whatever the 'voice' app is that produces the turn-by-turn, test and see if you can nail down exactly what app it is.

Thanks. It plays songs as well as ring tones - - - any sound files it can find apparently. If I pause the player, nav voice stops too. Don't know why it suddenly started doing this. I have not had this happen before in my 11 1/2 months of Nexus 6. Same rom /kernel everything since mid August with no problems until last week. May have to go into Titanium and freeze Poweramp. What idiot dreamed up forcing bluetooth autoplay on us? At least Google maps has an option to play voice over bluetooth or not. Oh, well - - the joys of Nexus.
So I Went into Titanium and froze all music player apps. No more autoplay. Tomorrow I'll see if it sticks and whether nav voice plays over bluetooth. Pita to have to do it this way.

Unfortunately I have nothing to freeze, so I still need a fix. Gonna play around with some of the Google apps and see if maybe one of them (or an update) is causing this. Will let you know
UPDATE: OK for me the issue comes up if I use OK GOOGLE to start things off. The audio time counter advances whenever Candace (name given by my wife to the Navigation voice) speaks. Counter then pauses until she speaks again, then pauses, etc.
If I start Navigation without using OK Google commands, audio time counter does nothing when Candace speaks.
So I think it's one of the google apps. I rolled back a number of them to their default version, but that didn't matter. Could be one I didn't try or even another app. Again I have no music players installed. I use the audio player of ES File Explorer as needed.

Yup. Nav voice over bluetooth is fine. Next step is to unfreeze poweramp & see if autoplay comes back. I'll have wait until next week to try it tho.

I've had my Google Home for about one week now and starting to find ways to use it around the house.
To be fair its still "thrill of newness" in the household but of course that won't be enough in the long run..
Mostly we use it for:
* Play music from different channels/artists on Google Play music
* Daughter is starting to abandon her blue tooth speaker with Spotify
* Dimming several Hue lights in different part of the house
* Setting timer
* "Tell me about my day" - Problem is I've got several calendars (one o365) - need to fix this..
* Sometimes listening to news
* Would like to connect it to Swedish radio app... to start livestreaming a chosen channel...
What are your best uses for the Google Home in your home?
We use it for...
Timer in the kitchen
Play music on Google Chromecast Audio
Remember things for us, like codes and phone numbers
Sing us a song (Alexa does that)
i'm using it for:
- weather forecast
- play music from google play music
- control philips hue lights (on/off, dim, change colours)
- stream youtube videos to chromecast
- show pictures from google photos on tv
- listening to romanian local radio (play europa fm from tunein); not all local radios are working unfortunately
- play kids music from my playlist on GPM
- control AV system through smarthings-logitech hub
- play trivia with my wife
- get the route to work info
- small tasks using autovoice
- adding shopping items to list (using keep and shared with my wife's)
Only bought today
Using for music an Chromecast.
Don't have Spotify subscription or Google play music so have to improvise.
But i do love it
Google Home and Facebook Jarvis
Which one is more useful?
Wondering will Windows Cortana and iPhone Siri join this ally
Using it to control a fan (power, speed, and timer), TV (power and starting Netflix to the Chromecast), sound bar (volume, power . Use it for the weather, questions, adding stuff to grocery list. Planning out how I want to do my lighting. Loving it.

I have many customizations that I use every day including:
- Announcing incoming calls
- Announcing notifications (email and push notifications)
- Reading incoming text messages aloud
- Sending text messages
- Initiating calls
- Creating calendar events
- Starting navigation as I am walking out the door in the morning
- Reminding me of missed calls and unread text messages
My most used native functions are:
- Playing music (spotify, Pandora, and local radio stations)
- Updating shopping list
- Setting timers when doing laundry
- Looking up word definitions
- Turning lights on/off (attached to Wemo switches)
GH was one of the most useful Christmas gifts I have ever received.

I don't notice any additional drain whatsoever.
May I ask if it can be detected as a wireless "headset"? For example using both mic and speaker to place calls or skype calls..
I am planning on getting a home mini..

I am not sure if it'll do Skype, but you can certainly make regular phone calls. Just use the "call <name>" command.
Hey Google, call mom.
- music
- kitchen timer
- morning news
-casting music to TV/AV
- "show me the front yard" - casts my front porch Nest outdoor cam to my den TV. Recently figured out if I'm at my office (15 miles away) and say this to my phone, it will still cast the Nest outdoor cam to the TV, even though I'm not on the home wifi. Kinda neat/odd
- Switches (6 and growing )
- News summaries in the morning
- Broadcast messages
- Casting music to one or more devices
- Time, weather, forecast and more
Will be expanding after Xmas.
Now use it about 90% of the time instead of the Echo dots.
Like the Google home devices quite a bit after a little learning curve.
Turning the coffee pot on from upstairs when I wake up.
Turning our Xfinity cable box off at night and on in the morning because the hard drive is a bit noisy when sleeping.
Both using WeMo Smart Switches
Daily agenda with temp, calendar events, and a brief news rundown from NPR
Turn on/off electronic devices via Logitech Harmony Hub
Turn on/off switches and home alarm via Samsung Smartthings Hub
Start Casting CBS shows
Start Casting Music via Spotify to home theater system via Chromecast audio
So far I use Google Home only for Spotify, coz where I live there is no support for it. ?
Some thing not mentioned, I use it in conjunction with home-assistant.io With a few hacks I was able to control my receiver.
Hey
So I took delivery of my new Vauxhall Crossland X with Android Auto yesterday. Its great to have a headunit that will work with android auto. However I have a very annoying issue.
Nav, calls and spotify work without issue. However I have recently switched to google play music. Now the app opens and when you press play the track starts progressing and you can see the time line moving, however no sound is coming through.
If I change to spotify it works without issue and I can listen to music, albeit in a lesser sound quality (in my opinion) .
Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
Appreciate your help.
Best wishes
Andy
AFAIK there's sadly no solution for this yet. I can't post links yet because I'm haven't posted much yet, but if you google for "Play music not working on android auto" you'll find a thread in the Google product forums.
Seems to be a Huawei specific problem...
It most certainly is a Huawei issue for which they have no answer. My issue isn't with Android Auto but the Google play music app is glitchy on my car stereo. The album art is from the first song that played the first time I connected the phone to my car and it hasn't changed since. The native music app and spotify have no such issue. I think it has to do with the lack of integration. The play music app's colour should match the album art in the drop down (since Oreo 8.0) but it's just a big orange box. There's definitely something wrong with Huawei's play music.

Installing equalizer from Play store (equalizer by Smart Android apps) make sure eq is ON, and stays on, skip to next song and now Android Auto works.
But first:
Remove and clear data from Android Auto, reboot
Clear all Bluetooth devices from car, and under system in your car remove Android Play devices.
Clean fresh set-up.

Wow, this finally seemed to fix it. I installed the app and reset the Android Auto settings and it's now working again. Thanks a lot!
I gave up before seeing this last post - I sold my p20 pro and bought a pixel 2 xl - have to say it worked straight away and the sound quality on android auto is better too. Gutted Ive lost the p20 pro camera as that was amazing but its nice to have a clean stock phone again. Lets hope the pixel 3 xl has the 3 camera setup that my p20 pro had.
Do I have to leave equaliser on permanently or just for the initial reset of android auto?

EQ option turns on automatically everytime I open Google music
Same issue with Oneplus 6 and Vivo V9. Apart from plethora of issues this issue is the most annoying.
Other issues- Music stops playing and then suddenly resume from beginning of song, Blank screen, no voice control(it used to work before), Whatapps messages are not read(used to work before)
When you try and send a message through voice does it go "uh, something went wrong"?
