I ordered a DDX9702S and installed it in my '09 Civic Si. I've got a Nexus 6P and have been experiencing odd audio glitches.
When I play music, everything is fine until I get an audible notification or use the Voice Search. After that there is an audible buzzing/frying noise in the tweeters of my stereo when a bassy note hits. Once the noise starts, it doesn't stop until I reboot my head unit. Could you see if you have the same problem? I don't know whether it's Android Auto in general, my Kenwood stereo, or what. I've also reproduced the issue with 2 other Nexus 6P's and a Nexus 5, so I know it's not just my phone or model. Can anyone with the same head unit with me test out the scenario below and let me know if they've also got static? (I'm on the latest firmware, btw, from Kenwood's site)
Steps to reproduce:
App to use:
Either Google Play Music All Access or Spotify
Song to use:
Rearrange by Vérité - the beginning of the song is quiet with a bassy beat, making it easy to spot the distortion / static.
Steps:
Turn on the head unit and plug in your phone (I used a Nexus 6P and a Nexus 5)
Once Android Auto is running, go to your music app and play Rearrange by Vérité. I find its easier to play the song if you add it to a playlist titled "1" (without the quotes) first, so it's at the top of your playlists.
You'll notice that the beginning of the song is quiet with a bassy beat. After about 10 seconds, hit the microphone in the top right of the screen to activate the Google Now Voice feature. Once it gives an audible beep, hit the microphone button again to cancel.
Hit back on the screen to start the song over. At this point, on my stereo, every bassy beat is accompanied by a static in the tweeters of my stereo. This happens on every song I play, even the radio, but it's much easier to hear on quiet songs like the one I gave as a suggestion to test with.
The static continues even if you disconnect/reconnect the phone. The only think that stops it is restarting the head unit by turning it off and back on. If you use Google Now again or a notification comes in and makes an audible sound, the static will come back. It seems, to me, that any notifications or audio playback from an Android device will cause the head unit to distort the sound until the head unit is rebooted. If nothing happens to cause the distortion, sound quality is stellar.
Either Google Play Music All Access or Spotify

Not sure what you mean, but I can reproduce the problem in Google Play Music or Spotify. Actually, the FM radio too, but it's hard to hear unless you know what you're listening for - then you can't unhear it.

I link my phone to bluetooth to play audio through various devices and when I get a notification the proper sound plays seamlessly through the bluetooth medium. However, a squeaky and completely distorted version simultaneously plays from the phone itself. It sounds a lot like Cousin It from the adams family...
Does it do this for you folks?
Could it be a bug in trickdroid?
I've done a lazy fix by just putting the phone on vibrate when I'm listening to tunes but then I don't get any notifications...
I seem to recall this happening the first time I used Driving Mode.. but never since. I use my phone to play Google Play Music (and sometimes spotify) over my car radio via bluetooth. Lately I find that the music isn't pausing.. but rather just 'dims' slightly and I hear the Moto Voice talking faintly with the music. And obviously, there's no way it will ever pick up me saying "Listen" with music blaring in a car.
Is it supposed to pause music playback, or is this not implemented functionality? Like I said, I could SWEAR it did it the first time..

I have a similar issue with Google Play Music. It's like Moto Assist TRIES to pause music, but Google Play Music just starts playing again. My old Moto X did this as well, but after a few fails, it would usually be able to pause the music successfully. The last Moto Voice update my old Moto X had also greatly helped in making sure the music paused at least when it opened the mic to listen to my text. My new Moto X can't seem to manage this.
If I have music playing, even when Assist opens the mic to listen to my command, it cannot manage to successfully pause Google Play Music. Strangely enough, if I bail out and just try to use the voice dictation directly through the keyboard, even that can't keep the music paused.
Maybe its an issue with Google Play Music? Its SUPER annoying.
My P20 Pro works fine with all bluetooth playback controls, except for "Play". So whenever I pause the music with my headset or in the car, I have to go on the phone to press play again. I thought that it was some power saving feature or some such, but it turns out that pressing "Next track" works perfectly, so it's only the "play" command that it ignores.
However, if I wait too long with pressing next track ("too long" being perhaps one minute) instead of resuming in the app currently in use, it will play from the stock Music app, even though I have never opened it. I also changed the "default music app" to Google Play Music, but this is completely ignored.
Happens with all apps and all bluetooth devices.
Anyone else experience the same issues? Any way to fix this? It's driving my nuts.
Same issue here, all my Bluetooth earphone control not working with poweramp

Mine works well with shuttle+(pro/paid version). My only issue is the extremely low volume level and the lack of eq(shuttle+ has built in eq, but the volume is still ****ty low)
Same issue with Spotify.

I've no issue with my Spotify and Bluetooth headphones. Mines not a headset , where the mic is included in case that makes a difference. Also is apx compatible

I have the exact same problem, for example with Audible. Think it's the AI trying to conserve battery. Hope it'll learn soon to leave it alone.
Same problem here on the Huawei P20 with both LG and Bose Bluetooth headphones.
Hey, hopefully I can get some help.
So basically when I have my phone plugged into my car and Android auto is running and I have some music playing thru Spotify, then go-to Waze and select for directions. The audio in Spotify cuts in and out like it's dimming for directions even though I have sound off on Waze.
As soon as I stop directions on the Waze, Spotify is fine and doesn't dim. Its really annoying and I can't seem to work it out.
Thanks in advance
I experience what sounds like a similar problem, with Waze and MediaMonkey. If both are running and Waze sounds a notification (even a speedometer alert sound), MediaMonkey's sound is reduced. But, after Waze's notification sound ends, MediaMonkey doesn't return to its prior volume. I must pause and then restart the music, after which it resumes with the correct volume level. Very bothersome.

Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
