Sound issues in AA with MRA Navigation

[Jan Huisman]

I have a question and not sure when it started (MRA update or AA update).
Recently (about a month now) in the navigation instructions on MRA i miss the first word in the instruction, so instead of "100 meter left" i hear "meter left". It is for all instructions the same, i miss the first word. It almost looks like it first needs to open the audio channel and therefor misses the first word.

I have it on both AA devices where i use MRA frequently:
Skoda Android Auto
Carpuride W702BS

Other navigation software (Google Maps, Flitsmeister) do not encounter this issue...

It worked flawless in the past, so something is changed somewhere. It is getting annoying.

I use MRA already for a long time as Gold Member...

@Jan-Huisman, My assumption is that it is AA related, and probably limited to certain models or brands. I suffer the same problem, and @Corjan-Meijerink has been notified about it.

Question: do you hear the music being lowered in volume when the Navigation speaks? I noticed that it takes quite some time to raise the volume back to normal level. Probably the time it takes for the voice to speak those swallowed syllables? Just curious if you notice the same.

@Con-Hennekens i did not play attention to that, last 3 times on the bike and in the car i did not have music on. Next time i will put on some music to check...

@Con-Hennekens & @Corjan-Meijerink,
This weekend i was able to test some audio.
Regarding above, when i also have Spotify playing music in the background, all instructions from MRA are inline and the full instruction is there. As soon as i stop Spotify playing music the issue is there again, the first one or two words of the navigation instruction are not audible.

I tested it both on the bike and in the car. On both occasions similar behaviour.

Phone Samsung S22
Bike, Carpuride 702BS, AA & Schubert C4 audio.
Car, Skoda AA interface.

Hope this gives some glues where to find and fix the issues, looks like it takes to long to open the audio channel before the navigation instruction is given.

Same problem here.
I hadn't paid any further attention to it because I rarely use the voice function. And when I use it in combination with music (internet radio), the volume of the radio decreases when someone speaks, and a few seconds later the volume returns to normal.
On Thursday, I'm going to take another ride on my motorcycle and pay special attention to that!

@Jan-Huisman, exactly what I expected... When music and speech get mixed into the media channel, there is no problem. When Music comes from the headend, and speech from the phone / MRA app, the first syllables get lost.

I encountered the same problem on my AA setup. Do not know if it still there when playing music. I never play music together with MRA. because the navigation instructions are not loud enough in this situation. Then i miss the instructions and leave the route. But that is a different problem.
