[Q] Atirx Car Dock Low Audio?

[link12245]

Anyone else seeing very low audio levels through the car dock? Anyone have a fix for this?

(example, my car radio through the dock is turned up to 36 and is still lower than the handset itself when the radio is set to 20-25)

I haven't noticed the audio being any quieter but I have noticed the quality isn't as good as some other phones i've owned. When at full volume it seems to peak easily on the highs and lows. I assume you've turned the volume up when the audio jack is plugged into the phone?

yeah, the volume is all the way up. I'm going to test my room mates car dock and see if maybe i just got a defect.

Did you try messing with the phone eq settings?

I messed with the eq settings and they don't seem to effect the output much. I tried my roommates dock and his is rather low output too. ('m only compairing the output difference from the headphone jack to the dock output.)

I took apart the dock to see if I could find any modifiable pieces, but it simply has two boards (one for input one for output) and a few unidentifiable chips (probably usb ID and audio decoder built in) As for now, I've just stopped using it. Gonna call Motorola Monday, to see if they have any advice.

Yeah, i'm having the same problem

 

[Jon225]

Try to get them to send you another one to try. Mine sounds the same as just using the 3.5mm jack.

Wait.. you guys have a car dock that has audio out but doesn't use the 3.5mm jack? Audio out from what? HDMI?

What's the name of this car dock?

Yeah, the Motorola one has audio out of the micro usb.

Called Motorola, and after about 5 minutes of, 'turn your phone off then back on' bs, the lady told me to return it to at&t. I'm amazed at the level of superior customer service. /sarcasm

At this point, if anyone is interested, there is a product called Boostaroo that will boost 3.5mm headphone jack output, and it runs on 12v. I'm probably going to pick one of these up and wire it inline with my car dock. They are about $50, which sucks, but if it'll work, I'll be happy. Will advise when I get it in.

My wife and I just tried her Atrix in her car both via 3.5 mm and USB and both sounded the same. Maybe you do have a bad phone *shrugs* I will try to go check on mine after it charges, if I remember.

Sounds fine from my car dock, same as my iPhone that was hooked up through a direct iPod video cable. How are you plugging it into your headunit in your car?

 

[link12245]

I have a 3.5mm aux port, and we've tried both phones, on both docks, and get the same result.

I have the car dock and the level is great. Yesterday I was listening to music while parked. I got a text and the volume went low after the text message and stayed low.. I think it went back up after the next text or something weird like that...
