AndroidAuto low volume - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

Does anyone face issues with low volume or lack of audio quality when using android auto?
I mean sound is ok, but its not as loud as other devices i used with AA.
I have tried the internal equalizer and dolby atmos, it helps a little but still not the same.
I have also tried the app EqualizerFX and so far seems better but not 100%.
Do you use any other method or app for this.
I am on the brink of rooting and going for Viper, but thats my last resort

i use poweramp pro ... it boost volume and bass for my buds - works a treat and it downloads the album art and instantly adds it to the track - quite nice

Yep poweramp pro works like a treat for local files.
but do still run into the issue for streaming apps like Spotify, GoogleMusic or Tidal

Have you upted the Bluetooth setting to loud.
In the media playback mode goto setting / sound setup/volume setup/Bluetooth audio.
Makes a huge difference on mine when using amazon music etc......

that doesnt exsist on the A70 - not mine anyway

Try developer options/disable absolute volume (on) then increase volume via phone and also the bluetooth device volume up button

No, it's not on the phone. It's in the Head unit settings....

I ended up rooting and using V4A, sound is full and sounding nice now. (although now with root i have google pay issues - but i guess i use audio more often than gpay)
On stock no matter what i tried the sound was just dull.

1. Bluetooth on the phone has its own volume setting, I hope you pressed that volume up button on the phone, then said "OK" to earpiercing warning, and then pressed volume button up again until you reached max
2. Dullness of sound cannot be cured with any settings on the phone - in Bluetooth original data just streamed to the car (being compressed/decompressed along the way)
3. You can still play with audio setting to affect headphone jack quality - it helped me.

yes i know that.and yes that was basically the first thing i did.
and btw this issue with Android auto is not to do with bluetooth or jack.. it uses usb dac to stream auto and control to the AA interface.
anyways, as said Viper4Android sorted my issue, as it processes audio differently to the stock audio processing.
same as poweramp, has its own audio processing, also for usb dac

[APP] PowerAMP-The best Android music player (WITH equalizer!)

Hey all. First I will say that I am NOT the creator of this app, nor do I have anything to do with its development. I am simply sharing it since I found a topic on it on the general Android app forums on XDA and have come to love it IMMENSELY.
Features:
-FULL 10-band Equalizer
-Preamp
-BEAUTIFUL and RESPONSIVE clean interface
-Swipe support for changing songs with impressive 3D animation
-Support of just about EVERY music format known to man WITH equalizer and preamp support on all
-Folders as PLAYLISTs support
-Pretty widget
-Easy to navigate, FAST
Did I mention that if you use it on a Galaxy S device, it can sound VERY VERY impressive due to the Galaxy S having a really high-end sound chip (either the best or one of the best on the market currently). To boost the volume use it in conjunction with Audioboost based on supercurio's audio fix. You can find Audioboost on the market or somewhere on the XDA forums.

As it is not yet officially out, it has not been released in the Market. The player is still in beta. When it's out though, I'm buying it first chance I get and you should too.

Woah, I love it. Proper playlist recognition as well so now I can use my playlist files again.
Great software, but people throw around "best music player on Android" too often without realising that it may be only be the best for their use.
I prefer WinAmp for my use for a number of reasons:
- I don't use an EQ, the GS has perfect sound reproduction, so its really not neccessary
- folder play is irrelevant to me since I have a properly tagged music collection
- WinAmps widget is better IMO, and lockscreen widget control is nice
- PowerAmp lacks LastFM scrobbling
(WinAmp also supports playlists, which is indeed nice, hopefully one of these two will support browsing/playing by Genre soon, but for the meantime I have playlists for each genre as a workaround)
Thanks for recomending PowerAmp!
Top player very easy to use and nice interface, i had to look for a new one as Player Pro started giving me lagging headaches, too bad i cant refund now
+1 if it can be used to equalize ringtone as well~~~
nice, but still prefer winamp because of one thing: playlist sync.
i don't wanna have to make my playlists on my phone. i'd rather make them on my pc and sync them to my phone.
hope the dev integrates that function, and i'll switch.
installed the app to check it out and it's reading the playlists from the music i synchronized with winamp. looks like i'm switching after all.
Song lyrics
Is there (or will be) any built-in function to search lyrics?
Alternatively, how can I display lyrics file (.lrc) into the application?
Great application, anyway.
This app is specifically listed as supporting WMA files, but it does not Does anyone know of a good music player that actually plays wma files?
new build available with lots more features added including more widgets, lockscreen widget, skip control from wired mic button etc....
New build 113 definitely is nice.
too bad this version will expire in a couple of weeks.
And strange, most (but not all) of the album arts (I named them AlbumArt.jpg) are not showing on the play screen in this built. build 68 worked just fine.
anyone got similar experience?
any solutions?
i already tried "clear albumart cache and reload media"
Sound @ max realy sucks bigtime, really don't get it i didn't even use a EQ but the basses where destroyed and even if i turned down my carradio the basses still sucked so the phone just destroys it... (3 days ago,uninstalled immidiatly because i ain't gonna listen to **** )... It almost looks like the sound @ max in powerAMP is equell to 200% the loudness of stock player. really annoying!
Wil try i later on maybe it was a bug but i got it and my roommate with his Desire had it to
The app is very nice, with the right settings it gives a great sound quality.
jaapschaap - you have to adjust to Bass Tone it gives too much bass, try my settings, but don`t change the volume from the app button, it has a bug, when you touch it it increases the bass tone to max although the bass tone button stays in the same place, you have to touch the tone button in order to restore it.

Lol that's crazy nut true i quess I will try later because i like an EQ and the resume on mini-jack connect...
Hope the bug will be fixed soon!
Thanks for the info...
Grumble grumble, doesn't the DAC inside the galaxy s have a hardware EQ? Is there any software available that actually uses it, not just software EQ?
Its supposed to be a five band parametric, if my memory serves me correctly.
I am using powerAMP to listen music. When i want to change next song with my bluetooth earphones, Musicplayerpro appears and both of the two players begin to play. if i uninstall musicplayerpro it is okay but i want to keep both players in my phone.
When I reconnect my headset the app automatically launches, Is there a way to prevent this ? I dont want unecessary applications launching automatically and wasting resources/battery

I believe you can change that in the settings for PowerAMP (under Headset Options).

Find the option in Musicplayerpro to turn headset controls on/off and turn it off. With Android it appears that you have to turn headset controls off for all music players except the one you want active otherwise you'll get the behavior you described.

The only options we have there is pause when disconnected or resume when disconnect, theres no option that says dont auto launch the app.
Build 204 (available in Market) has the option to "Resume on Headset Connect".

GUIDE - How to improve music quality

It seems that I've found the perfect combination of eq settings to help improve sound quality. The issues most face with the standard music player configuration is having to put up with tinny sounds and a flat soundstage which simply put - degrades your sound! And most become oblivious to the low quality sound over time. How horrible! But with a few changes sound can be clearer and after applying these tweaks, you will certainly hear the difference. With a few settings taken from here and there at xda and blended together and tweaked, my music played via the galaxy s2 really does now sound alot better.. A result of a clearer low end, no apparent distortion at max volume (and oh boy is it louder, thanks to volume+) , a more apparent seperation between the mid ranges/highs.. For once there's a distinction in the music and the separation of sounds can be heard rather than the usual muffle. I've tested this combination of apps/settings with both high quality flac files and 256kbps mp3s and it certainly brings out the colour in each song. I produce/compose film/trance music so I'd like to think I've a good ear.
Right, where do I begin.?
You will need 3 apps - Power amp, Equalizer and Volume +, installed to begin. Each application is free. The purpose of each app is as follows.
Poweramp - A top music player with eq functionality
Equalizer - To further enhance eq levels
Volume+ - To give the sound more legroom and boost sound levels
Power amp - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Equalizer - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Volume + - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=645858&d=1309854453
Simply apply the settings as shown in the below screenshots.. Follow exactly for best result.
Poweramp -

Equalizer -
Volume+ -
If you find the highs a tad too sharp, drop the treble slightly in Poweramp.
To achieve a deeper bass, in volume+, set the bass to +5 but try not to go much higher as the sound quality will impair.
To higher the volume use Poweramp and higher the amp slider by a tiny amount and to avoid distortion do not let it go past the midway mark.
Drop the 8k slider down in poweramp to help reduce the sharp frequencies, which can hurt the ears sometimes running at a high volume. If using external speakers rather than headphones, these settings may push the sound to distortion, so be sure to set volume+ to external speaker mode for best possible effect.
Currently using Volume+ may lead to fc's when making a call, even though the fc occurs, the effect of Volume+ should still be active, currently theres no workaround as i'm aware.
If you believe you've found an even better combination of settings then please share! Just remember to post which earphones/headphones you're using.
Update : download "audioboost sgs2" from the market and set the desired volume level to around "82" for a cleaner amplified sound, this works better than volume+ for most people.
Please give feedback whether or not these settings work well with your headset.

testing on my expensive high quality Shure headphones and will report back.
good job. Sound good now. Since my Shure headphones are capable of making deep base and mid base, i increased the Bass in Poweramp to the 3 o'clock position instead of your at 12 o'clock, and Also 5+ in bass in Volume+
Bass UGH UGH UGH .

Wow, nice guide, now my phone sound better then before!!
I like the effect this combination gives.
BUT I have major issue with Volume+ and not sure whats the reason for it. It crashes once I plug in my headset.
using PowerAMP + Eq + VolumePlus
it looks like a conflict between Equalizer and Volume+
anyone having similar issues?
yeah, it happen to me too, but mine was when i am dialing someone and when its connected then the error will appear(happen once in a while) but i just press the force close its still able to connect but its not a major problem for me as its still work its just annoying

Untick Resume/Pause on headset disconnection/connection in Poweramp headset options.
Already tested it - pausing or resuming setting off doesnt affect it. Another thing is volume+ will crash when changing settings while the Eqalizer preset is enabled. Preset disabled - everything works fine...

Tweaks work great thanks! Not quite as nice as my Galaxy Tab with Voodoo but SGS2 sounds definitely less flat and less muddy. Volume+ doesn't seem to actually do anything though to sound quality so I might just ditch that.
this setting wont work nice when i plug in an external Bose speakers... Bose speakers suck with builtin preamp and low bass output power. I changed to "external speaker" preset in the equalizer and it works great!
Hi,
testing now
I find Volume+ does not make a big diff
Having a good sound is not an easy one on that device,
Thank you for sharing your findings
I used to configure only PowerAmp - my best music player ever !
Adding a little tast of "equalizer" seems to provide something better
Will continue listening an see
Thanks !

Erisin ES2046B (4.4.4) installed and set up. Question regarding sound amplification

Hi all,
I've just installed and got everything up and running on this unit in my E46 and had a question regarding the audio quality when playing music.
I use GoneMad music player as it's got one feature I haven't found in another music app, standard star ratings support embedded in the music tags (all my music is rated), and as such have set up smart playlists that only play songs rated 4 stars, 5 stars etc. This way I can carry and sync my entire local library between phone, car and PC.
Now, I've toyed with the GoneMad EQ settings and can't seem to get the sound to be as crisp as I used to have on the Parrot Asteroid Smart I used to have before.
I installed PowerAmp just to see how much of a difference that makes to the sound quality, and indeed after tweaking the PowerAmp EQ settings, the bass is much richer and treble is clearer.
I have already set the Android headunit's "Amplifier" preset to bass and treble boost by the way.
I have enabled root on the unit, and essentially all I want is to be able to use GoneMad, but with the audio quality of PowerAmp. In the past on my Android phone's I'd installed Viper4Android sound and that's improved the phone sound output to headphones, but Viper4 doesn't seem to install the audio driver on this headunit once the app is loaded.
Can anyone advise on what I can do to improve the sound quality of the headunit without resorting to soldering the IC bypass? I know the sound can be improved via software, since PowerAmp does something the other are not doing, so can this whatever that is, be done via a root app?
Thanks!
No matter, fixed it, installed Viper4Android FX, updated Busybox and tweaked the Viper EQ and clarity modes to suit. Night and day difference. thie cheap Chinese head unit is now excellent everywhere.

what is Busybox? also, thanks for updating your thread with your answer. I'll be getting my Android head unit in a week or so, and I may need this fix too.
It's what various root apps like this use to run their features.

If you can afford it, worth spending a little more and going for the ES4046 model. It uses newer hardware (MTCD instead of MTCB in the above), runs on Android 5.1 and supports DAB+ (if you spend an additional 50 dollars on the DAB module). I have the above which is good for modding but development focus is moving to the later model so probably a little more future proof.

I've got another Erisin (ES3015V) and I'm pretty unhappy with the sound quality as well. Installed Viper4Android, which makes it better, but I'm still not happy. It can't compete with my original low end stereo (RCD310/Skoda Swing). Could you share what you did with the clarity modes specifically? Thanks!

I use the custom setting, and adjust the bands below the line. However you cannot use the Bass or Virtualizer with the speaker. The speaker is too small and weak for those adjustments IMO.

I'm still on 9.0... Tmo... I notice that it works on some streaming apps but not all. Works with Gmusic for sure. It does work on speaker as well. Not nearly the best EQ but it's usable.
I just got the T-Mobile 6t and I came from an LG G6 . And I noticed a big difference in sound quality in Bluetooth.
I had to recalibrate my car stereo eq settings in my car.
To me it's a downgrade in audio quality. Less bass and just doesn't have the umph. anymore.

I didn't install yet but to involve in the discussion, for me compared to my nexus 6p it's a noticeable difference with the Bluetooth, it's better then I had before. Also via Android auto it's better quality then I had before.

I came from my trusty dialy driver the OG Moto X Pure -Rooted - with Sauron Audio Mod and Dolby Atoms EQ. The sound is phenomenal through BT even with the outdated codec. I hope to get the 6T to that level and even better. Patiently waiting to root my TMO Variant. On a side note; the sound from the 6T is pretty good through my gen1 QC35s.

It MAY be doing something but I can't really tell with the speaker...using headphones I can tell more(bass effect works etc)
I need to pay this phone off before I can root it LOL, that's a new one........just got it with EIP.
Viper is only reason I see the need to root tho. This phone is fantastic. Coming from s8.
I don't notice a difference, using Spotify or YouTube
After you install it.. Go and switch off the battery optimize for the app so it won't stop when playing music

S20 Ultra have a poor sound quality ?

I bought a S20 Ultra last week which had gap near volume buttons and camera, and the earpiece speaker buzzed/produced tinny audio on certain notes like Piano or when playing ios opening ringtone. However, on a video call I noticed both the speakers producing bozz/tinny audio at certain points (with the bottom speaker providing less buzz than the top one), now I have a replacement S20 Ultra and this one also have the same problem, both speaker buzzes on video/phone calls at certain notes, and the top speaker buzzing/producing tinny sound during piano sound/ios opening ringtone. Turning off dolby atmos and using a custom equalizer improves the quality from earpiece speaker but the loudness is reduced too. I saw that many other people on Samsung Community complained about tinny and bad sound quality from s20 series. It is not even like S10+. Does anyone elese have the buzz/tinny sound too or simply said, is it better to wait for a software update which can possibly fix it or go for a third replacement device ?

Turning off dolby atmos and using a custom equalizer improves the quality from earpiece speaker but the loudness is reduced too. I saw that many other people on Samsung Community complained about tinny and bad sound quality from s20 series. It is not even like S10+. Does anyone elese have the buzz/tinny sound too or simply said, is it better to wait for a software update which can possibly fix it or go for a third replacement device ?

i had this issue at the begining but sound is ok now, can you try to wipe data cache ?
I tried clearing cache but it didnt make much of a difference. There is still buzzing/tinny sound from earpiece speaker and also sometimes from the bottom speaker during phone calls or piano notes etc. (Involving bass). However when I play a flat music the sound from both the speakers are loud, crisp and clear. Idk whats wrong.. some people on samsung community forums said that the firmware ATFG have this fixed but its still not available in my country to test it out. Even the firmware which you are on is not available here yet.

How did you fix it ? By upgrading the software to ATE7 from ATE6 or by clearing cache from recovery ?

Can you play this track on your device and check if the sound is clear/without any noise from earpiece speaker when you place your ear next to it ?

Hi,
Have you checked it on full volume ? Also, how does it compare with your s20 ultra's bottom speaker ? Is it same quality as the bottom speaker or the sound is accompanied with some buzz/crackle noise ?
