    @Con-Hennekens : Hi Con, the "Sena whonderweel" capture the BT Device Audio strengt. But the MyrouteAPP is running under phone settings. In fact, if you use automatic volume control in Sena 30k . Your sena lower down, after and after the voice of myrouteAPP get more and more quiet. In my Car with Carpuride I use the lower power Music button. the voice lower down. But when I get louder the BT Device stearing will not push up the audio of the MyrouteAPP.

    @Westerwald_Rider AAh, interesting, I thought that was what happened when I lowered the volume with the Wonderwheel.
    But I've also been having problems with it for the last four days and could only turn it back up via the system settings.

      @Peter-Zehentreiter, When I change the slider of the in-app volume setting, the OS system Media Volume changes accordingly. It is one and the same sound channel. When I change that slider while a BT headset is connected. The smame slider does affect the BT volume, just like what happens with the volume up and down buttons. Even the volume change graphic from Android itself is displayed over the app...

      And when you use the volume buttons to change the volume, the slider in the app changes accordingly, and in menu you show above the media channel is the one changed. So to me, really, the in-app slider has no function at all, since everyone uses volume buttons, much easier.

      It would have been ok to have a boost function and really boost the audio over the maximum threshold.

        Boosting Audio can only be done by lowering other sources. It would be great if Google added a seperate speech channel in Android, like they did in Android Auto...

        The volume of the Sena (mesh) can be easily increased and decreased using the Wonderwheel (this has been working for about two years).

        Nice, but that seems to be an MRA app independent feature to me.
        Setups like this have already coupled 4 BT devices into one knot. It is bound to go wrong sooner or later. That is what I call the "extra layer of complexity" when it comes to AA/CP solutions. I am an IT guy but no gadget freak 😉 . That being said, of course I hope you will find a solution for this strange behavior.

        I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

          @Con-Hennekens I think I've figured out what's wrong and how to prevent the MRA app from turning down the volume on its own.

          If I set Intelligente Lautstärkesteuerung" to "off" in the Sena app, I can still adjust the volume with the Wonderwheel.

          The volume slider in the MRA app and the volume slider of the Android settings remain at maximum volume, no matter what volume I set with the Wonderwheel.

            HHello Peter,

            thanks a lot. Your solution sounds linke a workaround. I check it out. But what happend in my Car? I don't know.
            I'm just wondering why now? It didn't do that in an older version. Okay there were other problems. Like freezing, hangup during navigation. Or MRA wanted to go home right away. (no joke, it went around the block once, destination reached.)
            With the new version on Android and Samsung S20 FE it drives me crazy. And my phone heats up. Even though it hangs in the wind .
            It seems the better way I use my old Garmin during a longer ride. It got a lot of lacks but all navigation command are loud and correct.

            have a good ride

            regards from Westerwald

              @Westerwald_Rider I am pretty happy with MRA … just had a 4 days trip in Slowenia.
              Without problems except the loudness issue( which is in my opinion resulting because of wrong adjustment in the Sena App)
              The other problems you are mentioning are NOT existing on my side.
              If you want.. we can talk together via phone and I‘ll let you know me secrets 😉
              I assume you are German so we could talk in German which makes it easier.

                  A few beta versions ago there was a line in the release note that the volume can be set louder than before.
                  In that specific version. The line of the volumeslider was a bit different It was a dotted or dashed line. Not continiuous. I didn't had the change to test that specific version because a newer version was there pretty soon.
                  In the current version the slider has it's usual continuous shape again. And at maximum volume level, the volume is still low.

                  Is possible that this change has disappeared in the newer versions

                    @M.-Schrijver, I do not remember the slider's looks changed much. That volume slider just mimics the phones volume buttons and system slider. Some claim it is louder since that changed, but personally I don't notice any difference regarding the loudness of the voice.

                      @Con-Hennekens I would also welcome it if it were louder, because at the moment it is sometimes difficult to understand.
