Question

Deezer volume goes to 50% when connected to car bluetooth


Hi, since few updates ago, when Deezer connects to my bluetooth car audio it automatically lowers the volume to 50%…no matter how I left it. It’s annoying  

Is this a bug or something to disable in the settings? 
Thanks.

Hello ​@Dadoooor apologies for the late response.
Is this problem still happening?
Do you use Android Auto or Car Play in your car?
Thanks

Hello, yes, it’s still happening.

I don’t use either AA or CP, just plain old Bluetooth ;).

To better understand the volume decreases in your car speakers?
Thanks

Could you please check if you have the “normalise audio” option activated in your Deezer app?

This is a problem I also have. Whenever I connect either an iPhone or an iPad to a bluetooth speaker of any kind the bluetooth volume is always reset to 50% (in Deezer).

Yes, the problem is still here for me also. 
The app has gotten so buggy over the years, for instance now, when I try to run “Flow” from long press on home icon, I get this:

Hey ​@Dadoooor ​@mrmusic33, I believe that this is now some of the iPhone/iPad/Apple devices feature when you connect the device to a bluetooth speaker/earphones to protect the users from the ‘loud’ noise/music. As I also have the volume of the music ‘reduced’ to half of the volume bar when I connect my AirPods to my iPhone 🤔🤔🤔

I started to get it since I updated my iOS to the 18 version tho.


I dont get it when i connect to airpods only when i connect to car bluetooth and i kinda started to link it since i started using deezer which is like past 7 days.

Same issue here. Latest version of app, latest version of iOS, iPhone 16 Pro, whenever connected to car via Bluetooth audio is automatically reduced to 50% every time. Also happens after getting a phone call. Really needs to be fixed, it’s super annoying! Doesn’t happen with any other app I’ve tried (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music).

Hi, have you tried disabling sound check on your iPhone/Ipad?

  • To disable Sound Check: Go to your iPhone's Settings, then tap on "Music." Toggle off the switch next to "Sound Check."

might also be Apple’s Attention Aware Feature.

Up and follow, we are having the same issues in our household. Anybody found a solution yet. Indeed it happens after connecting and happens after a call. It defaults to 50% volume. In the car as well as when connected to the motorcycle. Annoying. 


I checked it after the previous comments. Its indeed a Deezer issue. When on spotify, Youtube music or another app the behaviour does not show up. 

 

When i connect to bluetooth playing anything on another platform > switch to Deezer > Instant volume drop to 50%.
 

Within Deezer it will drop on any (sort of) startup of Deezer, for example, when opening/connecting for the first time or after a call. Its annoying, and on the motorcycle a dealbreaker even, since there i cannot easily adjust my volume every time.

An easy test to see this behaviour is in the quick menu (top right) and change the play behaviour between Iphone and bluetooth, then u can see the volume changing every time.

Is this issue on the radar?  Im on the current build of Deezer and IOS with an Iphone 15 Pro.
