Kim Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I have found that if I just pair my audiostream to audiokey and my phone Bluetooth it is very quiet and frustrating to hear on the telephone. However if I calibrate it on audio key then pair with Bluetooth on my phone it is as clear and loud as with a cable. Has anyone else found this?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 13, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 @Kim intetesting @Kylie Have you found a difference on volume setting with your AudioStream when you 1) just connect it via BT versus 2) configuring it first in AudioKey2 app??

HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted September 13, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I can't get my audiokey app to work so I don't know! Dianna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 13, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 @Kylie The AudioKey2 app makes configuring AudioStream difficult because they still have not changed the opening screen from before AudioStream was released. With Sonnet 1: 1) Open AudioKey 2 app. 2) Select CANCEL from the two choices 3) Go to the top left menu (just ignore the screen about no processors being connected) 4) Select connectivity options 5) Select AudioStream 6) Select configuration 7) Choose either left or right 8). Follow the prompts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted September 13, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Ok that worked! Now do I connect via Bluetooth as before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 13, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 @Kim may know better for android phones. On iPhones it is under hearing devices (accessibility) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted September 14, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Thanks @Kim. I can connect via Bluetooth as before too. Now what settings can I actually change? I can't work out what the app can do for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 14, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 @Kylie - the app is ONLY needed one time to configure the AudioStream. Do you notice a difference in your AudioStream loudness now that you did the one time configuration through AudioKey2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted September 14, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I am not sure. Not obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 14, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Interesting @Kim has a noticeable volume increase and @Kylie does not notice a volume increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted September 14, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Is there an easy-ish way to switch between them to experiment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianna Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Any volume control for audio stream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 15, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 @Dianna two volume controls 1) device volume 2) processor volume Some android phone users find AudioStream too quiet and use a free volume booster app @Kylie has experience with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted September 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 It isn't the one time configuration I find I have to configure it each time to get the loud volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 25, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 @Kim I believe @Kylieis getting consistent loud volume on android by using a free volume booster app in the background set at 130% volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted September 26, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 This is the app I have been using. There are many like this if you don't like this one in particular. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianna Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Hi, i discovered last night while watching tv, wearing audiostream, i was also playing a game on my phone, having phone volume way down (dont like game sounds) when i closed the game, voila, sound came up for room sounds and tv. Checking into this sound booster today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianna Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Im having sound clarity issues currently, im changing out some different pieces today to rule out mechanical Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 21, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 @Dianna It may be helpful to disassemble your Sonnet 2…, DL-coil- remove cover and ensure the magnet is locked into the + or - location and not still in the center spot reattach cover. Place just the DL-coil on your head and rotate to the 10:00 and 2:00 positions while attached a couple of times to ensure the internal magnet is aligned cable- separate from DL coil and Sonnet 2. check the cable for any kinks or fraying (If you have a spare new cable think about replacing it). Reattach. Sonnet 2 battery pack or rechargeable battery adapter- remove. Using a small amount of alcohol on a qtip, clean all battery contacts per Med-El’s YouTube video. Let dry completely. Reattach. Sonnet 2- check the tiny black rubber ring on the Sonnet 2. Is it torn? If yes, replace. (I had to order those from Med-El so I purchased a few extra ones.) Sonnet 2 battery cover- is it fitting tightly? It loosens up over time and needs to be replaced. Hopefully when you complete these steps, all sounds great again. If not… Have you asked your audiologist to turn off the auto off feature of the DL coil (link monitoring)? I did because it was causing problems with intermittent decreased volume. Keep us posted. Sorry this is happening. I do find the Sonnet/Sonnet2 processor design presents more issues than the previous OPUS2 design. I hope Med-El is going to offer a different BTE design next that has less issues. Dianna and AnnetteT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 21, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 @Dianna have you recently changed your sonnet 2 mic cover? And also check that area of the Sonnet 2 for any cracks. AnnetteT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
