Fix Waze Volume Issues on Android Auto: Troubleshooting Tips and Solutions

Breaking News: Waze and Android Auto’s Volume Controls Appear to be Broken

Waze and Android Auto seem to have recently experienced some technical issues with their volume controls, with many users reporting problems. This new development has left drivers unable to adjust the volumes of their navigation directions and media playback separately, as they once could.

The Issue: No Separate Volume Control for Navigation Directions

In the past, users of various navigation apps, including Waze and Android Auto, were able to independently adjust the volume of their navigation directions and media playback. This enabled drivers to set their preferred levels for each element. However, recent updates to Waze and Android Auto have changed this functionality, leaving only the media volume adjustable.

The Problem Started in Late December

Reports of this issue first emerged on Google’s forums in late December and have since spread across the online community, including Redditors running into similar problems. It appears that the issue is linked to a Waze update that rolled out at the end of December and is not specific to any particular phone or car model.
