1062554 - Sound Volume from web (soundcloud, grooveshark) is way quieter than Music app

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1059698

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: AudioChannel, defect, P2)

Description

[Michael Henretty [:mikehenrty][:mhenretty]]

On the flame, with the latest master build, there is a large volume discrepancy between web and the Music app. When I'm riding the bus, I cannot even here songs from Soundcloud or Grooveshark even with the volume all the way up. Sound from the Music app is fine.

I'm not sure it's the same, but could be related to bug 1043813.

Unable to reproduce this issue on Flame 2.2 Master.

Sound is loud and clear when listening to multiple tracks/broadcasts on Soundcloud app and Grooveshark app. Tested via device loudspeaker and via a headphone.

Hi Michael, 
Do you use headset?

[Michael Henretty [:mikehenrty][:mhenretty]]

No, I use Bose earbuds (without a built in microphone).

I use headset and speaker, but not BT. I can't reproduce on my Flame 2.2.

It should be as the same as bug 1059698[1].
