Varia audible warnings

This question relates to the Varia Android app. Is it possible to output all audio warning and notifications through wired or wireless headphones. I suffer from hearing loss and find it difficult to hear the audible warnings from my 830 and mobile phone. Thank you.

  • Not sure if I understand the question. Are you telling that the headphones connected to the phone do not play the sounds from the Varia app? That would be very surprising - once you cennect the headphones, all sounds from the phone are played on them. Or do you have connected the headphones to the Edge 830 instead, and not to the phone?

  • Yes, the headphones connected to the phone do not play the sounds from the Varia app. Whatever phone setting I use the initial warning sound always sounds on the phone's speaker and not through the headphones. Strangely, the 'all clear' sound does come through the headphones.

  • Did you try it with wired headphones too?

  • That's what I've been using. Wireless would be the next option I guess. Hope I can get this sorted. At the moment my radar is only as good as a rear view mirror (and a lot more expensive!). Not sure if it's an issue with the app or my Android phone. Thanks for your help.

  • Frankly told it is the first time I hear that the phone would play sounds to the speaker instead of the headphones, when they are plugged in. I did not think it would be physically possible. Are you sure the jack is really well plugged in, and that other apps play sounds to your headphones? Also check the system settings on your phone, and the permissions of the app, to see whether there are not some options for the audio output.

  • I'll check again.

  • Problem solved!! Under Settings/Notifications/Varia on my mobile, all I had to do was allow the 'allow sound' option. Thanks again for your help.
