rkkoszewski Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hello, this has been already many times asked in this Forum. I'm talking about 'Short Audio Focus' and Poweramp. Actually the only way that Poweramp handles 'Short Audio Focus' is pausing the song. This is actually nice if you have headphones connected and you don't want to listen to your song on the external loudspeaker when a message or whatever arrives. Ok, till there everything is fine. But it's not the same while connected via Bluetooth to your car head unit. So in combination with a Navigation app (Let's say TomTom for example) + Poweramp, every time the navigation says you should turn, the music just stops playing, and after finishing talking the music resumes. This is deadly annoying when you're driving inside of a city, then the music sounds like a scratched CD from the 90's.. stopping every 5 to 10 seconds. The proposed solution is always disable the 'Pause Song while Short Audio Focus', then the song keeps playing while the navigation app is talking.. but the song loudness is as loud as the voice talking, so you end up being unable to understand what the navigation system is saying, so it gets annoying again. FEATURE REQUEST:-> So again, I would like to request as an option to enable 'Song Volume Lowering on Short Audio Focus'. There are a lot of topics in this forum asking about this feature, and there are even some of them where the developers even answer.http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/5610-volume-ducking/ http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/5848-lower-volume-of-music-when-google-maps-prompts/http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/2873-mute-or-lower-volume-during-google-navigation-speech/http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/4591-lower-volume-on-notifications-short-audio-focus-change/http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/4468-volume-duck-instead-of-pause-while-playing-with-google-navigationwaze/http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/8287-audiofocus-option-for-lowering-volume-during-notificationsnavigation/ ... The developers said: While this is technically possible, this won't work on majority of devices (like Samsungs) as they forcibly enable speaker when notification comes. Such option is in our todo list though (for the minority of other devices)).Thanks. For a workaround for this issue, it could be a Bluetooth only feature (So it would work on Samsung and in others) and the annoying problem would be gone and everyone happy. I hope I'ill get a response from the developers, I would like to know if they would consider implementing this possibility or if everyone should stop asking about this feature (which the android stock player has by default).

Rom Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Devs can add this feature for Samsung device (majority of Android device..) but they don't want apparently ? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papete Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Please I'm waiting for this also. It is not a minority... A good number of people use their phones as GPS, I myself use a Samsung and would like to have this feature while driving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omriamos Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 +1I don't understand why the stock android player, google music play, and also some other players have this feature but Poweramp (and to be fair - some other 3rd-party music players as well) don't.Poweramp already have an equalizer with a preamp that can lower its volume without (?) affecting the operation system, so why not simply use it temporarly to lower the volume...?

omriamos Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 BTW,While this is technically possible, this won't work on majority of devices (like Samsungs) as they forcibly enable speaker when notification comes. Such option is in our todo list though (for the minority of other devices)).This has nothing to do with notifications sounds.... We are talking about the navigation guidance which does work with the BT-Audio, and not foced to the speaker by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkoszewski Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Still waiting for a reply from the developers about this topic..No news if this will be implemented or no.Are the devs scared of this feature or what? On all the topics.. No damn reply. In case they're too lost with the code.. It shouldn't be so difficult to implement:http://developer.android.com/training/managing-audio/audio-focus.html#DUCKand turn the "Pre-Amp" down 65% during the audio focus event.

papete Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I gave up on this... I think the dev has too much on his plate with 3.0 and doesn't care about adding features to 2.0 The good thing about Android is that you have a lot of alternatives, and more will come... waiting for my favorite PC music player to go mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishankmanan Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Can someone at max reply to this? This is a very basic feature and its a shame devs are not responding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 There is a lot of work going on with v3.0, and I understand that most feature requests (as opposed to bug fixes) will most likely not be added to the current version, but to v3 once that's released.

yakie996 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi Andre,Is there some sort of Eta for V3.0? 1 month, 2 months?or when will there be a beta available? thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Is there some sort of Eta for V3.0? 1 month, 2 months? or when will there be a beta available? Sorry, can't really help you on that. The last timeframe I heard earlier in the year was "summer", but I know it's not ready for even alpha testing yet.

yakie996 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 ow oke thank you! but at least there will come a alpha/beta for the public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 At some point, yes. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkoszewski Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Any news on this? Still no signs of V3 nor Volume Ducking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omriamos Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The fact that there is absolutely no reply from the team is very sad. Feels like they just don't give a *uck about us, don't care enough to even reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I replied earlier in this thread, saying that this is unlikely before v3 is released. Sadly I can't give you an ETA on that though. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkoszewski Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Any news on this? Any progress? Is anything being done (v2 or v3)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Volume dipping during notifications should now be implemented in Poweramp v3 Alpha-test #2, if anyone wants to test it: Reminder, this is an alpha test so make sure you backup your current system first in case you want to roll back.
