I found out, that if I had "Play sound to phone speaker" setting in Waze turned on (checked), half of the voice directions plays from the head speaker on the top of the phone (quieter, seem to be affected by volume setting in Waze and/or in system volume settings) and the second half of the voice directions plays from the bottom speaker (very loud, unaffected by any volume adjust settings both in Waze or system).

But if I TURNED OFF (uncheck) "Play sound to phone speaker" setting in Waze and I wasn´t connected to car sound system by bluetooth, all voice directions plays from the head speaker on the top of the phone, and I can adjust the sound volume without any problem.

Because I need bluetooth connection with my car sound system (hands-free), I found out this solution : In android settings, I can manually set permissions of the bluetooth connection to my car sound system - there are 3 permissions - phone sound, media sound and contact list sharing. I simply denied media sound permission (this can be done only if you have bluetooth connection with car sound system active)and thats it. Now, Waze is speaking from the head speaker and I can andjust its volume and I can use my car hands-free as well.

Holy crap you figured it out. Thank you! Why on earth do they make this so complicated is beyond me. They are owned by Google and Google Maps Volume works so much more "normal". Thanks again.

That happened to me but all I did was turn my phone off and then back on again and I was able to adjust the in-app volume.
