Sound system lost it's "punch" after latest update

[Rockster]

I think I'm noticing that the volume changes with vehicle speed, lowering the volume when the car slows or comes to a stop. I've wanted this feature for a while so that don't have to lower the volume after slowing from highway speeds. Am I imagining that the volume is doing this? If it's real, perhaps this dynamic volume behavior is the culprit?

Sit in the back. It's not as dynamic as it once was.

I never tried it in back, so I have no reference.

But it’s working fine in front and could care less what it sounds like in back.

I think I did notice it reset immersion and eq on the first V9 update.

The rear amp does control rear speakers and sub. But for folks with the issue I would verify EVERY driver is at least operational.

I’m pretty serious about my tunes and use it ALL the time. Mine is still working great.

I wonder if something is wonky with speed sensitive volume.

I forget, is there a factory reset in the menus somewhere?

I care a lot if it works in the back, that's what creates the full concert in the car. Now it's just half a concert.

So this seems like it’s a real issue given that at least 4-5 of you have noticed a change. Anyone talk to SC yet?

Hmm. I'm on 42.3 I think and last night had the opportunity to ride in the back for the first time andI noticed that the sound is nowhere near as good as the front.. in fact at one point it felt like the sound was cutting off the complete sections of the vocals. Unfortunately I don't have a reference as to whether this was occuring before or not. I'll have to play around some more, hopefully it's a software issue.

This. The vocals are no where to found in the back. Tried to use EQ but it was no good.

Just tried it, in the back, it works just as awesome. Tried female vocals too. I tested both slacker and USB stick.

I paid $2000 extra for the Harman Kardon upgrade on my Jeep. Model 3 sounds as good.

I’m on 42.4 by the way. And all my controls are default/flat. I did try all 3 immersion levels. All sound good.

There is a factory reset under service menu. But I don’t know what that resets. Nothing in the manual.

Not sure how the update number thing works but did you basically skip 4 updates?

Yes, volume changes as speed of the vehicle does.

I Just double checked, it’s definitely on 42.4. Yours is the first I’ve heard of 42.8. I’ve seen a lot of posts recently of folks running 42.3.

So I'm wondering if this is only happening to P3D+ owners or?...

Turn track mode on and maybe the fidelity might come back

 

[ummagawd]

Let us know

 

[flashflooder]

FWIW I haven’t noticed it in my LR RWD (173xx VIN)

 

[Nate977p]

Let us know

I initially thought the sound system quality was good, if not great but top volume left a lot to be desired.

Now the last few days I felt like it was very quite and thought I was just being crazy, but yeah something is wrong. 42.8.

 

[Tomski]

on 44.1 , with RWD, Also noticed the rear bass is reduced post v9 updates.

 

[skrtskrt]

So a lot of people are having this issue. How do we let Tesla know about this?

Mine sounds amazing... if it lost its punch pop the trunk and see if you hear the bass bumping in the back... it may have gone out
