Hi all,
I wouldn't post a new thread if I could find the answer here but I couldn't. My car is relatively new and I've not driven it much, especially on the highway. I just recently did a 3 hour trip and was trying to make phone calls to people but my volume for calls was not that loud. Here are the circumstances:
- iphone X
- Connected to Bluetooth OR CarPlay (same result when I tried each separately)
- New Amplifier and speakers
- Tried adjusting volume buttons to max while on a call, did not help
- Turned up main volume control while on a call to max, I need louder!
- Other apps sound works just fine
Since the latter is the case, I don't see how it could be the amplifier. I used google maps, Spotify, Apple Music and all sound fine. I can blast music way louder than I'd ever want to.
But when I'm on a phone call, I just can't turn up the volume more than max (obviously) but I feel max is just not loud enough. It seems like there is a separate volume control for phone vs. other sources.
I am reasonably tech savvy and have tried everything I can think of - settings in the phone, etc. Nothing that I could figure out. Searched online - didn't see anything.
The problem really is that the ambient noise from highway is higher - particularly on certain types of payment - that makes it very hard to hear (especially people who just don't have a deep voice to begin with). It got to be so bad that I had to disconnect the phone from the car and just use the speaker on the phone - that I could hear! But that defeats a lot of the purpose.
