Default Selective Listening on Boom 6.5

If I have already asked this question, forgive me. Call it my daily Alzheimer's Test:

System: 2015 Boom Infotainment 6.5, software vrs 1.19.21

Is there any setting(s) that will allow me to hear (headphones or speakers) the Nav prompts and comm (CB/Intercom) without having to hear music?

There are times, like in heavy traffic, I want to hear prompts and do bike-to-bike and not be distracted by music - either player or radio.

Not sure if this will help or not but there is a separate volume for the nav prompts.

I know you can turn down the prompt volume and have the music loud, I'd imagine you can do the opposite but I haven't tried it.

Thanks, this does help. It confirms there is a way, but not a practical one. I tried the individual volume control thing, but although I like the system, the menu navigation is clumsy and takes a lot of punching to reset all the volumes individually - not something you want to be doing if/when you suddenly hit traffic. Then setting it back is just 2x the hassle.

Too bad the media player can't just be stopped from the Nav screen.

You can adjust the nav volume when it is talking. Turn the music down when it is playing. The CB also adjust when someone is talking. No pushing of buttons. Just as adjust when it is happening.
