ultra quiet TTS voice after upgrade, Android

Post by sg4w
Hi,

Since upgrading to v3.8, the TTS voices (both Samantha and Tom) play at a reduced volume (so quiet, I can't hear over road noise, even with the stereo off), even with all volume setting set to maximum. Media played through other programs heard at normal volumes.

Tried, as mentioned in previous posts, uninstall/reinstall, and 'cc@tts' at the nav prompt. No change. No idea what to try next besides reverting to previous version.

Running Android on an HTC One X+.

If this isn't fixed soon, I'll have to downgrade.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

This was reported weeks ago. Waze support is non existent. No acknowledgement of the issue at all. The new version is useless to me on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Plus 3.8 dies periodically, no message, no nothing, just goes away.

You have three choices, drop back to 3.7.6, dump Waze, or sit around and wait an unknown length of time for possible fixes in the next release.

Nope. Reverted to 3.7 last night.
