Hello, all -- So this is probably a very odd combination, perhaps, but here's the issue I'm facing:
I've been using JBV1 for a while now, and been an on-again/off-again user for various reasons which may merit their own thread (i.e., using with Android Auto was force quitting to the point of not being able to use JBV1), but now I've been on it for a minute and getting some solid use time in.
Anyway, I have an LG G6, a UConnect head unit and I'm using Android Auto via USB.
What I'm finding is a perfect storm of idiosyncrasies, I suspect. So when using Android Auto, the audio of the phone, phone call handling, etc. is still done through Bluetooth, evidently, though don't ask me why. I've noted that loss of Bluetooth pairing renders the phone call feature unusable, and the car will place calls you can neither hear nor respond to. As such, the BT connection for audio is always "live" in a way when using this radio and being properly paired. When the native radio (FM/AM/XM) is playing, or an AUX source, or nothing at all, the phone's audio (JBV1/Waze/etc) are piped though the DRIVER'S FRONT speaker at a pre-determined volume (in my case, 15, which is hella loud), and can only be adjusted if you're quick on that volume knob while it's playing. To make matters worse, the radio doesn't seem to respect the altered volume setting reliably. That is not a JBV1 issue, but is why the actual issue is pressing.
Second case, is when Pandora/Podcasts/Plex/etc are playing through Android Auto -- in THIS instance, the audio from JBV1/Waze, etc. is piped though all channels, and the current source "ducks" as you'd expect.
Aside from the "ducking" not returning all the time and thus having to cycle sources around to get full audio volume back, the big issue is that JBV1's FORCE SPEAKER settings does NOTHING. No matter what I select, the audio always either goes to the "CALL" or "ASSISTANT" audio if a native or no source is played, or as "FULL" audio if an AA source is in use. I don't think this really has anything to do with JBV1, but I would have thought FORCE SPEAKER would make the phone's speaker play.,. It does not.
Any ideas?
With much respect to the program and this forum,
