Different methods to increase sound on Android Auto
We will discuss several techniques to show you how to increase the sound, some of which you must have already tried.
The volume knob controls
- First thing to try to increase the volume, use the sound buttons on your smartphone. If they don't work or the sound is out of order, let's see what else we can offer you.
- Ordering your vehicle : Try to control the volume directly on your vehicle. Depending on the car model you have, go to the sound settings, outside of Android Auto. Maybe the sound is too low initially, and with Android Auto you cannot increase the volume sufficiently when connected.
- If you have a GPS sound problem for example, which is too low compared to the music: This problem has been reported many times on the forums, the music is at normal volume, but the sound from the GPS is too low. You can try to increase it, but only when the voice is speaking. So you have to adjust the volume from the steering wheel sound controls, exactly when the GPS speaks, so that the setting affects the GPS and not the music.
If all that didn't work, here are some other alternatives you can try to amplify the sound of your android smartphone.
