Google is now rolling out a new update for the Pixel Buds A-series, and this update will finally fix the bass slider issue. “Thanks to all those who reported that they were experiencing toggle button issues with the EQ /bass slider feature where the bass effect continued to revert to original”, said Google.
Google is fixing the Pixel Buds A-series bass slider bug
This issue has been around since December last year. Truth be said, this is not a huge problem for most people, but it sure was annoying. So, what exactly is happening? Well, the Bass slider in the Sound menu allows you to decrease one increment or increase by four. The thing is, the earbuds would forget that you made that change the next time you use them.
So, you essentially had to change that setting every time you pick up the earbuds. Well, that will no longer be the case, Google is changing things up.
This firmware update is marked as version 3.415, and Google aims to roll it out to all Pixel Buds A-series users within two weeks. So, we’re looking at a staged rollout here, as expected.
The update process takes about 10 minutes
Once the update is available, earbuds will pick up on that upon your activation. In other words, the next time you use them. Then, when you return them to the charging case, the update gets installed. It takes about 10 minutes, says Google.
You can also try checking whether the update is available manually. Simply put the earbuds in the case, and open the lid. Then navigate to the Pixel Buds app on your phone, go to ‘More settings’, and then ‘Firmware update’. Once you’re there, tap the ‘Update available’ option.
It’s nice to see that Google is finally fixing this problem, that’s for sure. The Pixel Buds A have been hailed as being one of the best earbuds in their price range. These earbuds launched at $99, in case you’re wondering.
