I use 2 din multimedia navigation made by Rosen.

When ever there is a voice guidance on next turn, GPS voice mutes the original playing voice (radio, mp3 or cd) and plays the GPS voice. How do I make it to play 50% original sound (radio, mp3 or cd) and 50% of GPS voice? So that I can hear both.

Please help.

Stop asking other questions until I get the other TTS thread to work correctly!

EDIT: AFAIK, the nav voices overrides the audios. That's normal.

chas521, while I test the changes we made for my TTS question; Is there any chance that you can help me on this?
Some said below setting will resolve, I tried but its not resolving my issue.

I appreciate your help.

I don't think there is an answer to your problem. I'm pretty sure that's the way it is.

I can help with this somewhat, although I don't think I can provide you with the answer you're looking for I'm afraid. I apologize for this :(

Most newer spec'd systems use a special digital link (sometimes though just a DAC) to connect the WinCE system to the main output cluster of the unit. This means that the post-processing is done by the output cluster of the device, with that, you can get effects such as fade. These are usually hard-coded, 25% for the original output and 75% for the input from WinCE. This is non-changeable. If you alter the volume from WinCE, you won't change the fact the original output is 25%, just get used to that.

Older systems connect to the main output cluster using a slow serial port, this means when audio is output, the WinCE basically opens a connection using the serial port and then the main cluster mutes the audio (not possible to fade due to the connection type) and plays the input. This way is slightly more changeable as you can obviously play with volumes a bit more, but fact is, it's still not what you're looking for.

Sorry.

It works (audio fading) fine in my factory Honda navigation. So I thought there is some setting somewhere

To fade the music down BEFORE the GPS speaks, requires some link between iGO and the hardware audio mixer, usually a serial port between wince and the mixer that iGO can open/close as necessary.

If this doesn't exist then either you get radio/cd but no sound from the GPS, or no fade effect.

I solved a problem, but not.
I solved a problem of sound, different from this, in my case, I worked in sys.txt folders, sound, device type and clarionforyou.
The way is to compare one that works properly and the other that is failing, and trying to go change. It worked!

Originally, off factory, Primo (or iGO) can be set up for the device. That is the case for Clarion units, Alpine, ...
A "cured" Primo is changed in a "general" way, to make it work on every (or most) devices. This means all device functionality gets lost. However, some "cured" builds can regain that functionality, often by using the original data.zip that came with the device. Of course when upgrading a Primo, the old data.zip isn't always compatible with the Primo.
That "clarionforyou" is controlled by a ini file in data.zip/config, I think. Which proves my point. It won't work on other brands than Clarion, maybe some exceptions excluded.
