[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks for the suggestion but :-

I can hear what that FCC function does -- but unfortunately, it is not the cause of the wimpy Low Audio from Google Voice in the 1st place, and it actually makes it worse.

--------------

Example:

If that FCC function is used, say to decease media Audio by 50% for say 8 seconds.

Then when Google voice is activated by a Wheel Button, any playing audio is reduced by by 50% (good) .. and then one can talk to google voice without shouting over the Radio or Player.

When google voice starts responding (assuming it does so within the 8 seconds from when it was started), the reply Audio (media Audio) is still reduced by 50%. (So it is soft... extra soft because both FCC is lowering it, and it was low to start with).

Then after the 8 seconds have elapsed, BOTH Playing Music AND Google voice go back to their normal levels ( The music to a level that was good for listening to) and the Google Voice back to 100% of its wimpy low level) that is almost impossible to hear under the Music.

So the FCC functionality is not "Ideal", but may be the best that can be done from outside the Player & Google Voice apps.

As far as the Google Voice Audio being very low .. I see that for the past 3+ years, masses of post on the Internet with users complaining about this, and suggesting that Google Voice / Assistant has it's own Volume Modification Control, to either add or decrease the actual Google Voice amplitude (going to the Media Audio Channel, )with respect to the Media Volume level -- but Google Voice developers seem not to have taken any notice.

However, the Google MAP developers have, and that App at least has a Soft/Normal/Loud Audio setting.

The Google Voice embedded in Android Auto does not have these issues, and works perfectly.

Putting aside the current Low Google Voice audio level (Hopefully one day that will get fixed by Google) - As far as the Reduce Volume function in FCC -- is there any way to give it an Auto mode, so it keeps the Media Volume at whatever %, UNTIL Google has finished speaking (if that is somehow detectable). ?

In an ideal world (Like Windows 10 !! rofl), each app would have their own Individual Volume control, with the OS having an overall Master Volume.

Seems to be a failing of the Android system, that there is not automatic separate Level control for each app, so it is up to developers to code on it, or NOT, as is the case with Google Voice.

Apps like PowerAmp do have internal Volume controls as part of their Mixers.

Talking of Widgets, would love to see a Google Voice FCC Widget, that displayed overlaid on the current screen (like Notifications), and just displayed (at a Minimum) a Animated Graphic of the Microphone Audio input in a small Box. (sizable, color changeable, changeable Text -- just like the common edit functions of most of the FCC widgets)... ( and a way to keep Google voice in the Background - when driving, one is not wanted to be distracted with a complex Google Voice Option screen.. one just want to know that google voice is responding.)

This would really set FCC in it's own class, above all other Launchers !! :o
