Navigation sound volume
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

My previous LG phone always played Waze at a very low volume so I assumed it was normal. Then I got my new LG phone with Android v7.0 and Waze played at a much high volume - for almost three weeks - then it went to a very low volume similar to my old phone. I have tried everything and cannot get the volume back up to a reasonable level.
My wife has an iPhone and has never had a volume issue with Waze.

I heartily concur. It takes two presses, a scroll, and another press to reach the volume setting, and it involves locating all that stuff visually. Why not the phone's own volume control?

I've been trying Waze for a few days and most of it seems ok but I've been struggling with the low volume issue. The fact that I read posts that are almost a year old and the issue still haven't been fixed tell me this is not a serious app/developer. Also the volume settings is really bad, hidden deep in the menu and with no way to manually activate sound to try the volume. I see no reason to keep using Waze, I will uninstall it and go back to my previous navigation app.

I just fixed the low sound. Go into the app settings (wheel with cogs), Sound, Sound Output. Make sure that "Play on phone speaker" option is ticked. Mine was on "play as Bluetooth phone call" and I could not hear it at all.

Please put the app volume control on the main screen so it is easier to adjust. It is now buried in Settings>Advance Settings>Sound section which takes at least three touches to get to--VERY DANGEROUS!!! Leads to distracted driving issues.
Many of the problems noted in earlier posts would probably be resolved as many may not know or take the time to figure out how to find where to adjust the volume.
There is already a Sound on/off button on the map screen--just ad a volume slider here.

Increase the available sound decibel level. When sound is played though phone speakers it is too quite, even when set to 100% in the app and 100% on the phone. The max I can get now should correlate to about 15-20% on a normal scale.

Now the navigation is too low. Even at 100% I can't hear it if my ac is on

In ver. 4 the second part of the navigation command the volume increases to the phone's maximum value. Can't be adjust any way. Command starts on normal volume, ends on maximum.

It would be helpful to have a volume control more easily accessible than the one in the settings menu. Perhaps a volume slider could be added to the Sound Preferences pane.

Help !!!
J'utilise Waze sur un Sony Xpéria Z3 compact.
Le son a toujours été insuffisant, mais depuis la dernière MAJ, il est totalement inaudible.
Le volume du son sur le téléphone est au maximum, et j'ai coché "Forcer le son des hauts parleurs" dans les paramètres de Waze.
La navigation est devenue très difficile sans le son.
Pas de problème de sons rencontrés sur Google Maps ou pour écouter de la musique. -

Also, bring back some of the other celebrity voices!!!

1 - need a way to make voices louder than they currently are. Even when my media volume is at max, it is sometimes hard to hear over the road noise or car radio, even if the radio is not turned up very loud.
2 - need an option to automatically turn up the volume to a preset level when starting Waze, and turn it back to the previous level when exiting the app.

I'm Android - LG G3, and the Waze volume (even on max) is far too low. It is significantly quieter than Google Maps.

Using Android galaxy S4...volume was fine (like most things) before the Android 5 update. Now volume thru phone speakers is low....and the One Place audio sermon app gets forced to soft when waze makes an announcement. I now have to play waze thru Bluetooth to my car stereo to hear it week.

Android 5.0.2 on Sony Xperia z1 compact with Waze 3.9.5.4 also now has almost inaudible navigation volume while playing music. Volume in Waze is set to maximum.

I am usually playing music on the background but since the last update, when i approach a speed cam, the sound of my music will be lowered, but then doesnt automatically go up again. so i stuck with a very low volume. i have to kill the waze app and restart to get the music vol back up.

Have any improvements been made to the low volume issue for WAZE commands? It worked well at first, now cannot get anything above a whisper.

Ne pouvez-vous pas augmenter le volume de la voix ?
Avec le bruit de la circulation, elle est inaudible.
Ne peut-on avoir le même volume sonore que Thomas ?Merci d'avance.
