Master volume control

The ability to set individual volume levels per input source is great, as most devices send audio at different levels. However, having to re-adjust the volume for each device is a pain when adapting the volume to different conditions during a ride.

The unit should consider one device to be the 'master' volume level, which one should probably be configurable, but for me would be the A2DP audio source. Adjusting the volume when listening to that source would adjust the volume for all sources.

When listening to a non-master source, adjusting the volume should set the difference between that source's volume and the master volume level. ie: that device's audio is adjusted but no others are. That difference would be preserved until adjusted on that source. This way when the volume is later adjusted on the master source, the other source's volumes are adjusted too, but the difference between sources is preserved.

  Thank you for your suggestion. We will do the feasibility study of setting the master volume on one device source by SMH10 manager. We will keep you informed later.

  I'm not sure about Peter's original suggestion, as it is only useful to people who use the A2DP-protocol. But I strongly agree that the different adjustable volume-levels are annoying. On the end it means that every singel one of the volumes is either too loud or too soft.

  I would suggest that there is one master-volme, adjustable with the jogdial, and one could adjust the different sources in the configuration-menu.

  So a new menu-entry called "volume-offset".

  When in this menu one could subsequently alter the volume for:

  - Intercom

  - Phone (set volume for mobile phone as well as second mobile phone)

  - A2DP

  - NAV-instructions

  Mind: when you pair your Navigation as a mobile phone, its volume can be adjusted with the phone-entry, not the NAV-entry

  All other sources don't have an offset as to not complicate things too much.

  Adjustments could be made by turning the jog-dial,confirm by pressing the phone-button, cancel by pressing the jog dial.

  Adjustment-levels for all adjustable sources should be: 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5.

  Meaning: 0: volume level is as loud as the master-volume

  -1: Volume level is 90% of the master-volume

  -2: Volume level is 80% of the master-volume

  -3: Volume level is 70% of the master-volume

  -4: Volume level is 60% of the master-volume

  -5: Volume level is 50% of the master-volume
