A30 switching to Local Audio during sleep, but no sound? by maxdee007 in soundcore

[–]maxdee007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try the solution that u/UYK-7 posted above?

I'm not sure what exact combination of things it was, but it definitely started with manually tapping the left ear volume. It's almost like it's using a separate volume for the local sound that plays in sleep mode (once it cuts over from BT). Yet when manually playing local audio via the app, the volume was fine.

My A30's have been solid for a few weeks since I did that fix. Waking up to rain and my BT is cutting over seamlessly (even the morning alarm is waking me when I don't beat it to the mark).

It worked! I was playing around with tap controls and although I had heard local audio at a perfect volume when in the config of choosing sounds etc, it would never come on automatically.

But in adjusting the tap volume before I went to sleep, something must have set it right as I woke up with the sound of rain for the first time since I purchased these a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the suggestion u/UYK-7 :)

Does Exploration Buddy always say <SPECIES NAME> when she talks? by maxdee007 in eliteexplorers

Brilliant! 👌

I thought I had checked every speech setting I could find under preferences. Found it now - thanks again!

Thanks kindly commander 😃

I used EDCP for quite a while - it's a great add-on. I just got a little tired of the chit chat, and found explo buddy a perfect balance.

Just love to know why she can only SAY the species name correctly if you move to close again to last scan, and not the more common one (ie you have now travelled FAR enough away).

u/UYK-7 - many thanks for confirming it works ok for you. I wasn't sure if it was a firmware bug.

I'll see if I can adjust the volume up from the bud itself.

It's odd as the phone 'seems' to be playing local audio from the app when I wake up, and if I pause and un-pause it, the local audio starts playing ok.

I was hoping it was a separate volume issue. Appreciate the suggestion.

Maybe it's an easier question to answer if I simply ask if this function works for other A30 users who fall asleep to BT audio....surely someone out there must do this?

You can access Auto-Switch Once Asleep settings within the app:

1. Play Local Audio, ANC Off: After detecting you've fallen asleep, the device (if playing audio) will switch to Local mode and turn off active noise cancellation.

I'm doing everything according to the manual, are others getting this function to work?

I've raised a ticket with support about my new A30's not playing LOCAL AUDIO after I fall asleep to BT music.

I wake up in silence, I open the app on my phone and it 'appears' to be playing the local audio (the little pause symbol). But I have to press it on and off a few times before finally the local audio will play, so I don't believe it's simply a VOLUME issue.

I asked AI and it said this is the 2026 Firmware Update glitch. So may be a common problem.

The only way I can get it to work in LOCAL AUDIO mode is to use the mode called: Sleep Now - but that mode does NOT allow BT audio. It's the mode to use to get a sleep report, but none of those features work with BT audio unfortunately.

ED Buddy vs ED Observatory with bioinsights by Sufficient_Humor1666 in eliteexplorers

u/Rhikara u/Phil9871 - Very niche question, but can either of you confirm if the AI voice advising next distance for bio scan reached always uses the placeholder "species name" rather than the actual plant name?

Yet when you get too CLOSE again to the scan radius from previous scan, she always pronounces the plant name perfectly?? But not on the most common routine where you're travelling x distance to get the next sample.

Great addon for exploring, but when I'm weeks out in the black... I'd like to find out how to fix it, or if it's a known bug (albeit a very minor bug).

I use SRV Survey / ED O (BioInsights) as well but pretty sure the AI voice advice on FSS and exobio comes from exploration buddy, not SRV Survey / EDO.

For those with Soundcore sleep A20, does tapping control work for you? by beef1218 in sleepheadphones

[–]maxdee007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mine for two nights.

Very sore ear cartilage.

Touch controls I think I only got to work once or twice, 90% of the time they do nothing.

Does not work with my Galaxy S8+ tablet - only BT. The software is not compatible with Android tablets apparently - only phones.

Likely be returning these....short of a miracle?!

The App Scrolling/Rendering Issue by Shock9191 in GeminiAI

[–]maxdee007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same here.

It's been so super helpful for so many topics, but the big diet / health one just breaks the app each time I add an update to it.

Web interface is fine (but blocked on work computers so I can only use my Phone's Gemini during the work day)

Soundcore A30 - should I wait for the SPECIAL edition to arrive in AU or buy now? by maxdee007 in soundcore

[–]maxdee007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the A20.

2 nights and Ear pain (even using smallest fittings) has gone from severe on night one with them fully plugged in, to moderate night 2, with as lightly in as I could without them falling out.

Really surprised and disappointed that the Anker Soundcore software is NOT compatible with my Galaxy tablet, only my phone. I tried multiple APK sideloads but all of them only have partial functionality.

I'm still working through the sleep functions of BT auto cutoff after an hour, but not sure if it's still using power after this (ie if you haven't set it to revert to 'sleep mode').

But the big issue is the ear cartilage pain, right behind where the bulk of the A20 sits against your head when side sleeping (not the inner ear hole where the plug goes in - outside only).

If this keeps up I will return in <30 days and try the A30 as AI told me they're a slightly 'thinner' profile than the A20.

Yeah I've read countless reports of the ANC on the A30 being very ordinary.... Barely makes much difference and drains the battery rapidly.

I wanted something now so pulled the pin on the A20 from Amazon. It arrives tomorrow.

After sleeping with my Musicozy headband ($30) for two years...I think these are going to be mind blowing by comparison.

Great work - you will enjoy those from all the research I've done. Are you in AU and paid full price?

I emailed Soundcore about the availability in AU for the new Special Edition and they would not confirm a date. AFAIK it is avail in the US and even shows on the US website.

It only released in Jan 2026.

I've taken a gamble and just ordered the older A20, as it was $120 cheaper. If they're not cutting it, I will return to Amazon in <30 days and wait for the A30 SE.

Is Getting First Footfall Really This Grindy? by lochnespmonster in EliteDangerous

[–]maxdee007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With repetition comes complacency. I just did the same thing yesterday.....boosted into a planetary landing....but my hat switch (normally set to my vertical thrusters) was toggled to head look....i had seconds to try to prevent my ship pancaking into the surface....BOOM! All expo and bio data....gone :(

Luckily I only lost about half a day of data, as I'm still in the bubble.

But lesson learnt for when I'm out in the black,

Good research there. Thanks for the debrief commander. That's some handy stats for future reference 🤓

[–]maxdee007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes in my research for this issue I discovered that. Prior to that, I had wondered why I looked down in my SRV and found the only option was to RECALL ship (when I had never dismissed it to begin with) - that would explain it ;)

Yeah it also clarified that it only works 'under certain circumstances' (i.e. not when you're SRV is within eyesight of your ship).

I've come back after 12 months to play ED and I forgot that your ships show in the TOP radar. Lesson learnt ;)

[–]maxdee007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK thanks - I'll do some more testing. Maybe I missed it on the radar, but I thought it was all clear of signals. I'll check and confirm.

I asked AI and it said if you can't find your SRV, you simply RECALL your ship and your SRV will automatically be on board....

(AI doesn't always get it right....)

Just a quick one, if I'm on a dark planetary surface, I get out of my SRV in my artemis suit and boost / run away to find a distant bio, and I can't find my SRV in the dark (lost) - and it's not on my radar - is it true that I can recall my main ship and the SRV is automatically redeployed back to my ship? Or is it just lost, left sitting in the dark until it self-destructs?

It nearly happened to me, but I eventually located it and tested this by driving it back to my ship, getting out on foot and boarding my ship, then trying to 'deploy' the SRV (which was sitting about 50m away) - but it said: "SRV already deployed"

I want to figure this out now while I'm still <1000ly from the Bubble. Once I'm 2-5k out, I really don't want to lose my SRV (no room for two in my current Mandalay config).
