I would make sure the media volume on your Android device is turned all the way up, since the volume coming out of your stereo is dependent on how loud the input is. I did not have a problem with low volume on mine. The problem I had with the AUX input is I would get a lot of fuzz and crackling when there was a lull in volume (like in between songs, or while listening to audiobooks, etc.)

When using the AUX make sure the volume is up on the device. This helped with my sound.

Hi, Kyle. I just tried these with my iPhone. While playing music, I turned the volume down the whole way (on the side of the phone). Then, I held the middle button down on the headphones - and I could hear Siri (and turned the volume up the whole way while Siri was talking). Went back to music and hit play. It was still silent. So, there are two separate volume adjustments on the iPhone. May just want to hit play on the music and then use volume adjustments in the side of the phone. Hope that's all it is for you! Good luck!

Check you phone's BT settings. Sometimes the box for media is unchecked on the phone bluetooth entry for the headset. This happened to me once -the phone was working and the music wasn't. I opened BT settings and saw that the box for media for my earphones was unchecked. Once I checked it --the music flowed smoothly!

Ive been using this on a old Iphone 3. I use this phone just to transport movies so I don't have to fill my I pad. I have not encountered this issue. Is the sound coming from the TV or the Ipad? Have you tried all the input settings on the TV?

On my device the volume both decreases and increases. It can be tricky because if you don't hold it down it will change the song if your listening to music through it. If yours does not increase, but it will decrease, I would venture to say that yours may not be working properly. You may want to consider returning it.

That is a connector only giving you a line level output. Add a good quality amp such as the FiiO 6 and you may hear an improvement in sound with good earphones. This is what I do for high quality listening. Maybe test your dock connector on some other device to make sure you don't have a more serious problem first.

Sound quality on Bluetooth devices is a confusing issue. So I'll try to clarify. There are two defining factors : 1. "Audio Source Quality" and 2. "Bluetooth transmission CODEC". 1. is simple enough, but 2. isn't. A BT device has several "Codecs", that it works with. For audio stream, major ones are "aptX" "AAC" and "SBC". And "SBC" is the root cause of "inferior audio quality on Bluetooth". "Sub-band codec" is the full name, and it's a codec designed for devices with low processing power. To put simply, it sounds absolutely aweful! If your smartphone supports "aptX" and or "AAC", the sound quality will be good, good enough that average person will not notice degration. With "SBC", most music fans will notice the difference. Then it will get really confusing, if a device only supports "aptX / SBC" and not "AAC". Most Androids support "aptX / SBC", in this case, "aptX" will be used and sounds fine. iPhones on the other hand, only supports "AAC/SBC" and not "aptX". In this case, iPhone falls back to using "SBC", and works with bad quality audio. And Mediabridge seems to be this device, that "Works well with Androids" and "Kinda works with iPhones, albeit with bad quality audio". If you ask anyone about the "Sound quality on BT device", it is vitally important to know "What was used with", as you may be comparing oranges to apples, two completely different codecs housed in the same box. For marketing reasons, as long as a device works even with SBC, it is labled as "Wokrs with iPhone". You should be very careful choosing a BT device for audio, to use with iPhone. #If you weren't satisftied with the earbuds that came with an early Apple iPhones, you will definitely notice the high-pitched harmonic distortion of SBC.

Yes I have had the same problem. I think that it has to do with the AUX music device it's hooked up to, phone, iPod etc.... I haven't had it do that when I've used the built in radio. I believe if you go into the volume control of the device your using there should be a setting for that. Hope that helps&#128522;

I suspect the issue is with your cell. I would turn off both and re-program your cell insuring you are paired. If that doesn't work, to take the speaker out of the equation, try hard wiring it to your cell via the aux port and see if you get sound, from like Pandora et al.

Although I have never used it with aux input, I think you just plug it in and disconnect USB cable. If it doesn't work, go to Control Panel, and after selecting "Sound", make sure the Z205 is your default speaker. Hope this helps!

If you use the aux cord, it wont display any text information, just will show "aux"; to display text, needs the iphone cord or the micro usb (android) so thats no possible for android users

I have two of these units and Zero issues with either. I have one that is used in my car so that I don't have to connect a headphone cable to my smartphone to play music thru the car radio. It automatically connects each time as it should. The other unit I use in my home to play music from my phone thru home stereo. I manually create the Bluetooth connection to this unit since I have another Bluetooth receiver nearby. As to the volume being low.. I suspect that issue may be related to the bluetooth device you are connecting with. With my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 volume seems to remain where I had last left it..

Hmmm check your settings on your music sounds. Is the sound coming out of both speakers on the phone when you're not using headphones?

Only thing I can think of is to check the volume on your iPod. I have found mine is quieter if the volume is down on my iPhone.
