literally none of this has to do with android auto

[zoroluva]

Thanks guy! The change for me wasn't subtle at all. Dua Lipa's Levitating was playing while I turned off Normalized then Atmos and OMG... Music paused then just exploded across the dash. Soundstage, detail, Dynamics all just came rushing at me! Good find man.

Thank you I'm on old audio file and former stereo shop owners but I was new to using Android auto through the car. How to question my mind the transfer to the car and I was hoping that it didn't you just showed me it did so I had to go in there and turn off some stuff. Thank you

I cannot seem to find a result to eliminate streaming skip + volume up n down due to Left n Right sound balance changing without any human intervention....
Ive honestly tried everything I've read on internet and i just cannot stop it.... Galaxy N20U 5g is my hand set and my car infotainment system is factory Nissan with a nifty city Nissan 370z Android Auto + Apple car play upgrade.... For the love of God i cannot get it to work without glitching terribly and if that's not annoying enough the sound goes from left to right by itself...
Any help would be appreciated greatly to resolve this traumatizing experience of skipping in car music streaming

Jus buy Tidal now, it will sound loads better!

[balamuruganthangamani]

I was and to fix the audio quality issue. Go to Settings-> Dolby Atmos -> Equalizer-> Change to Normal

[aperfectlady]

Thank you! I was having sound issues with AA and my Kia Sorento. Your video saved me! The Normalize volume setting had the biggest impact for me and the other 2 provide some small enhancements. After reading countless posts, I am grateful for your video.

Thanks, will try these in my mg hector plus, having muffled sound issues.

Hi guys. I've buy a new car and want to know the best option to have the better sound quality possible. Passing via AA wireless or using a USB key ? I have an Amazon account with HD quality (flac from 16 to 24 bits). I'm affraid that AA has a bad BT codec and compress sound too much. Thanks

Andriod auto has been sht on past 3 cars now. So is it really the phone or car. I think it is the andriod auto app itself. They know the issue they wont sort it. Music sounds like sht when using it. Have tried youtube music, spotify etc all the same. Just using bluetooth audio the sound is fine

[zakiasakura]

It really worked for me. Definitely much much better now! Thanks.
I'm using Zenfone 9 so I don't have the dolby atmos but generally the other settings do work. So much more details in the music now.

I have found that I can't adjust my cars stereo when connected to android auto

[matthewr.]

Anyone know why apple car play sounds louder than android auto?

[victoryvisiontour]

I always turn all the gimmick stuff off with every sound source I've ever had (car, boat, home stereo, home theater, etc). The most useless is that stupid Loudness button that many radios used to have. All that did was increase certain frequencies. I can do that on the equalizer to my own liking.

These tips definitely helped but the audio is noticably better on Bluetooth compared to Android auto. This kinda blows lol

[edmolina]

Dude, if you want better sound quality just use the CD player that came with your Lexus. CD's are way more consistent when it comes to audio quality. Plus, if you get a scratch on them you get a free permanent remix of the songs you like.😂

I have a 2011 Honda Accord EX-L and I recently bought one of those Android CarPlay kits specifically for the Honda Accords. My friend and I set it up but we noticed the audio quality was bad, especially when there was a lot of bass. I tried turning off CarPlay and installing Spotify on the screen's system and the audio sounded much better than it did when I was using Spotify on CarPlay. How do I fix this?

Also i see other people saying the bluetooth connection is better than the carplay, and its the same for me. The issue is, i cant just stop using carplay and use my Pavelou bluetooth adapter becuase it makes a loud screeching noise whenever I have it plugged in at the same time as the Carplay unit

I was about to buy a new phone cause I couldn't anymore. Glad I found this video. Thanks!

[coreyepperson]

I have an s22 but I cannot find a normalized sound setting. I did turn sound quality to high.

[ramzisunilabdullah]

What about youtube music? Any recommendations?
