Volume control for TTS on primo 2.0   

Volume control for TTS on primo 2.0

Postby archercj » Mon Jan 16, 2012 7:43 am

I've followed YT's advise regarding going small on my SYS.TXT and can happily report that all is well with only the bare minimum of lines in it. That includes speech using TTS.

The only issue is that when TTS come son it lowers the background sound i.e radio and doesn't higher it again when it stops speaking. Also the volume of TTS is very low.

Can someone point me in the direction of the correct settings that manage volume for TTS within Primo 2.0 please.

First, make sure all the volume sliders within Primo settings are set to maximum ..... or at least the ones you want to be; personally, I turn the "ding" off because I don't like it (and, for Primo 2, "ding=0" in sys.txt under [sound] no longer works--it's now a setting in Volume).
Then add this to sys.txt:

[sound]
sound_muted=0
voice_muted=0

And see what happens. To be honest, these entries are from older versions, and I don't know for sure if they work in Primo2, but the worst that could happen is that they are ignored. If so, take them back out and I'll keep looking for something else.


And yes, OMG!!! YT says to ADD something to sys.txt! Pigs are flying!:D
But that's just my opinion..I could be wrong.

Cheers will give it a go. YT those two options didn't do anything (well a very very slight increase in TTS volume I think) but no lowering of background

Mostly the lowering of back ground music etc is a function of the gps or head unit.
There may be a setting for it.

What I'm trying to see if I can do for you is get it to where no volume is muted at all (so the voice and background remain on the same volume level). This is how I have mine setup and it works quite well--nothing is interrupted and I can still hear the voices along with the music at whatever volume level I choose, but I use an external software MP3 player on the GPS unit which is quite different from a hardware dash unit.

And this is all experimental, but here are a few more entries you can try to see if it accomplishes anything:

[sound]
sound_volume = 100
use_os_volume = 1
voice_volume = 255
voice_muted = 0 ; <<-- try values both of 0 and 1 (one at a time) to see if there is any difference in behavior
But that's just my opinion..I could be wrong.

For tts you should put the following to your sys.txt:

[tts]
tts_buffer=131072
announce_exit_directions=1
tts_logics=3
priority="HIGH"
always_say_road_names=3
announce_street_name=1
skip_exit_numbers=0

In order to listen laouder (boost) the announcement of tts then you should set the following to sys.txt:

[dynamiccompressor]
compressor=1
ratio=9
gain=9

If you like to listen with no delay the announcement of TTS or if your processor is quite low maybe its better to set here price 2 or 3 to listen the announcement earlier:

[sound]
pause_mp3_sooner=1

In order the TTS to announce the speedcamera and the proximate alerts you have to set the following to your sys.txt:

[warning]
is_spoken=1

Just to confirm, the settings Baz published work a treat. The background noise lowers and the TTS speech is clear and loud enough. Many thanks
