Know this probably not a SD issue, but the answer may be out there.
Running SD on either iPad or android phone with SkyEcho2.
Bluetooth to a David Clark PRO-X2 headset.
So far, so good. Gives excellent warnings of CAS, ATZ’s and ADSB traffic. But the volume is too low to pick up warnings in a noisy C152.
Any ideas? Thanks for your advice!

Well, I am going to apologise AND eat my words. I certainly used to get decent volume but that is no longer the case.

I have recently been running all my audio through a mixer but decided to separate the iPad and use Bluetooth to my DC One-X headset. This is mainly so I don't get my wife asking me where every aircraft is that she hears announced (Bluetooth from iPad is only to one headset and it's not her's). The volume was turned up to maximum on the iPad and, likewise, the headsets but I too found the voice (Martha) so quiet as to be unusable. This is not a noisy aircraft (Eurofox with a Rotax engine). There was traffic around and I could, occasionally, just about hear her say something but what she said was unintelligible and certainly useless as far as traffic information is concerned.

I have no idea if something has changed to make it all so quiet but it certainly needs addressing......assuming that's possible from the SD end, which may not be an option.



Long shot - you don't have a second device running SD to which you might have inadvertantly connected, do you? 

Don't ask how I know ... Wink

Hi Graham,

No, not in my case. I literally have the iPad Mini with SD. It uses Pilot Aware for its GPS info. The iPad's Bluetooth is connected to my David Clark DC-X headset. The headset and iPad volumes are set to maximum but Martha is too quiet to be of any use.

I like the intelligent voice function of SD but that's only any good if I can hear it. I may go back to piping it through the mixer or simplify things and just put Pilot Aware voice through the mixer and forget SD audio all together.
