I'm sure this is a general Android issue. I don't remember this happening with my Hero, but I rarely had it hooked up to Bluetooth.
I have noticed on the EVO that when paired with my Parrot in the car, the phone will cause the bluetooth kit to mute the audio in the car and play any notification that comes in: text, new e-mail, app notifications, etc. It mutes the audio, plays the ringtone, and unmutes. It also plays the ringtone through the phone's speaker.
This also reminds me of the way the phone plays the notifications when listening to music, it mutes the audio on the phone briefly to play the sound and then resumes the audio.
My blackberry would play the sounds along with whatever music was playing, and would not play the notification sounds through the bluetooth kit in the car. I find this behavior to be better in my opinion.
Anyone know if there might be a way to fix this?

Hi, I have a problem when listening to music:
An incoming notification used to stop my music when a notification arrived. Now, I downloaded a music player with more options - I disabled the options which stopped music after headset was unplugged. It helped a little:
Now, when I listen to music and a notification comes, the music plays loud from the speaker for about a second or two, then going back to headset.
Happened on ICS, so I jumped back on GB. Same effect.
Also, I found out notification sounds are played always through the phone, not the headset.
EDIT: Found out this one is normal.
Try PowerAMP. Pauses at unplug, starts again at plug. If you get a notification, music stops playing a few seconds, speaker plays the notif. sound, and the music continues on headset.
PowerAMP
Poweramp is what I meant by "Now, I downloaded a music player with more options" ...
Thats the player which disables pause-on-headset-unplug, but it makes the problem I described (the second one) ...
Bought a Moto S10-HD headset, and it sounds great, but I noticed that when I get notifications, my music pauses like normal, but the notification sound gets played on the phone, and it's not passed along to the headset. Music resumes as normal after the notification. That doesn't happen when using the wired headphones, but if I'm using a bluetooth headset and I leave my phone in the other room, the only way I'll know if I get a notification will be the music pausing.
Any ideas?
It does that to me with my Car stereo when its hooked up via BT. It isn't really an issue for me since I am never far enough away from my phone where i don't hear the notification coming from the phone. I never thought about why it does this, but since you brought it up, I would love to know as well.
A quick google search shows that this is apparently the holy grail for bluetooth headphone users. However, I think the same thing happens with wired headphones as well.
I too, would like to know why and have it solved.
My stock wired headphones play the notification tone fine.
While I'm here, another thing I noticed is the system sounds that are played over bluetooth are somewhat quiet compared to music. That also doesn't happen on the wired headphones.
I'm having a strange problem that I'm trying to see if it's bluetooth stack or CM 10.1 related. When I'm sitting here at work listening to my bluetooth headphones (Jabra BT3030), anytime a phone call comes through, the headphones mute and the ringer AND the music I'm listening to start blaring out of the rear phone speaker. I have to reject the call, stop the music player, and then call the person back. The headphones I'm using also function as a handsfree headset, so, in theory, the phone ring, music, and all answer/deny functions should be handled by the headphones. They've certainly worked this way on every other Android phone I've owned, so I was just curious if this might be an oddity of the new BT stack on 4.2.1, a bug in CM 10.1, or even possibly a setting I'm missing that's causing me this issue. Anyway, when I call the person back, the headphones take on the role of handsfree headset just fine.
Thanks in advance!
I am experiencing the exact same issue on my Galaxy S3 using Moto S305 headphones and CM10.1. I've been searching all over for a solution to this problem and haven't had any luck.
I figured out how to stop the music player audio from coming out of my speaker when receiving a call while on bluetooth. If you turn your ringer volume up then it won't send the music from the player out the speaker phone. When you have the ringer set to vibrate only then it sends your music out the speaker. But I don't want ringer noise either, I just want it to vibrate. My solution was to take my favorite ringtone and insert 5 seconds of silence before it starts to ring. That way I have 5 seconds to either reject the call or answer it before it starts making noise.
Wierd issue. Use to work but not now. When I'm on Bluetooth and take or make a phone call on Bluetooth... And then after the call try and play media through Bluetooth, it won't have sound. Max volume. Shows as playing. But nothing. Not even through phone speaker. It's as if the dialer app didn't release the Bluetooth control after the call.
Only way to fix is to turn off Bluetooth and back on.
Anyway to fix?
I had this happen once or twice, but not recently. I use bluetooth in my car but my factory radio in my car only has BT for calls, not music. I have a small A2DP device that plays music through the AUX in on the radio. A few times if I took a call via BT for the car, when the call ended the music wouldn't resume. I'd go to Spotify and it showed as playing but no sound came out. I never tried resetting bluetooth because when I'm driving it's easier to just hold power until the phone reboots, then it works fine.
mine does it when I'm using the amazon music player, doesn't matter if I'm on a call or not. Every now and then it just stops sending audio to the radio. If I turn the phone on, the lockscreen shows that the song is playing, but zero audio.
If I pause / play / pause on the lockscreen it usually resumes playing. Very odd issue. Still better than the problems I was having with my note4.
I've seen this issue on android for years. I'll have the same issue if I say Okay Google and Google doesn't recognize what I say.
I've just got the V20 and it links with my car OK for bluetooth. Works with calls. But for audio, it comes through the phones speaker. I can see the song name on my car dash and control it, pause, skip, etc. But it's not playing through the car's speakers. Any ideas?
Mine will do that occasionally for a minute or so, but then connects to my Kenwood and goes as expected. Have you checked the BT settings for your car?
Randomly happens to me too, but when it does, it'll stay playing through the phone until I do something about it. The only solution I've found is to completely disable the phone's bluetooth, then re-enable it and reconnect. Its very annoying! Glad to hear I'm not the only one though. I though something was going wrong with my car!!!
Thanks for the responses. I noticed this morning it had messed up sound playing through my external speaker until I rebooted when playing a video. I usually have my phone on android auto, so it's not an issue. But that's a battery killer, not recharger so I sometimes just plug it into the charger instead. Hopefully future updates will fix this!

I haven't tried it on nougat yet...but whenever i've had sound routing issues i turned to the soundabout pro app on the playstore.
