Notification sounds halts/stops/pauses all other audio playback via headset

Ok guys/gals, this is my first post ever and I'm pretty sure I've looked and searched all of the Xperia threads for a solution to this issue I'm having with my X1i.
If i'm playing music (using WMP or the Media Panel) with the Headset plugged in and a new SMS, MMS, e-Mail, or ANY type of notification pops up, the music (or any other audio) halts/stops/pauses/interrupts the music playback to prioritize the notification sound and then resumes the audio playback. I've looked at all the sound settings to see if there was a new option (headset options) to prevent this from happening but have had no luck...
Is anyone else having this problem?
The only solution I've had to work with so far is to uncheck the Play Sound box for all the notification options available in Sounds & Notifications and check the Display message, Flash light, and Vibrate options to let me know when I get a new message.

Thanks in advance peeps..

I don't think it's possible to shut this off, Sony Ericsson phones have interupted the music since the first Walkman Phone.

Thanks Burrn, but since this is now a Windows Mobile device, surely there is a registry setting that could allow for the notification sound to be heard over any already playing audio.
At least every other windows mobile device I've had does this; so if music is playing and a notification pops up, the notify sound plays right over any audio simultaneously.
In other words, right now, if I'm using Windows Media player to listen to music and I get a text, my track pauses; I hear ONLY the notify sound; and then resume the track.
I want to be able to listen to my music, get a text and hear the notify sound over the playing track without it pausing the track to notify me of the event.
If one of you experts can perhaps look into the registry settings, I'm sure there has to be a way to modify this annoying setup. I think it would to do with the headset settings since it doesn't pause my music to notify when the headset isn't plugged in; it just plays the notify sound right over the track.

Any help?
Anybody else having this issue? Any more feedback would be greatly appreciated...thx.

I encountered the same problem with my X1,can anyone please help us?

Hey togcbu, I just recently found a fix for that; but you have to know how and be willing to go into the registry; I use Total Commander to go into the registry
HKCU
ControlPanel
Sounds
InCallBuzz
open Sound (this should show notify.wma); and simply erase the sound file name and save... presto, no more annoying sound during your call when you get an SMS.

Issue, volume goes quiet out no reason

My alarm clock failed me again this morning! This is the second times in less than 1 month. This is quite annoying and I don't even understand WHY?
Settings are correct, volume set at about 50% and it works (most of the time ) fine. But this morning when the alarm rang out, for not reason, volume was barely audible.
And I actually noticed that all other sounds (ringtone, notification and media) had the same problem. I tried to set media volume to max, I could ear some sound but nothing compare to loud sound it should be. I didn't find any way to fix this, except rebooting my gs. After that everything was working perfectly fine.
Anyone with the same problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

Settings were correct, volume set at about half as usual and it works (most of the time fine. But this morning when the alarm rang out, for not reason, volume was barely audible.

Tell us a bit about the firmware you are running, any custom ROM's? Eclair or Froyo?

Actually I used the wrong forum, my phone is a Galaxy S I9000 released for the Japanese market (Japanese name: GALAXY S SC-02B). Appreciate if an admin can move this topic to this appropriate forum, thx.
Here are the details:
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: SC02BOMJJ1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.OMJJ1
I also use the free version of AudioManager as volume manager

Hey,

Audio and Data issues after firmware upgrade

Not sure what numbers I should give you so Im going to give you everything.
Current firmware version : PDA:LPD / PHONE:LPB / CSC:LPD (TMU)
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband version : I9100BVLPB
Kernel version : [email protected]#3
Build number : IM74K.BVLPD
The phone is a UK SGS II, has not been rooted. It is running the official T-Mobile ICS Rom.
A couple of days ago I noticed an intermittent but significant loss of data. I could be in the same place for hours and it would happen, I could be on the move and it would happen. I decided to use Samsung Kies to see of there was a firmware upgrade and would reset the phone. This was done yesterday.
Today I have had lots of issues. Data again will come and go at will, the data icon in the taskbar will disappear intermittently. I have also lost SOME audio. By some I mean the following:
No audio from media via the speaker, either stored on the phone or over the internet. Tried BBC iPlayer, Youtube, Samsung Music Hub. Audio on the phone played through headphones was fine.
Ringtones work fine, but when I answer a call there is nothing from the earpiece. Switch to speaker and I can hear the caller.
Notification tones seem to be working fine.
No keypad tones from phone screen. I have checked to make sure that keypad tones is activated.
No 'system sounds'.
I have been into the menu for volumes (Menu, Settings, Sound, Volumes) and:
if I move the media slider I hear nothing (though I do get the 'harmful' warning when the slider is pushed all the way to the right
if I move the Ringtone Slider I can hear the ringtone playing back in relation to the slider position
if I move the Notification slider I can hear the notification tone playing back in relation to the slider position
if I move the System slider I hear nothing at all
The odd thing is that earlier in the day it was working, then part way through the afternoon I got nothing.
I have spoken to T-Mobile who were less than useless. First of all they said that T-Mobile did not recommend upgrading from Gingerbread to ICS, this is despite the rom in the phone being the official T-Mobile branded ICS rom that they released and I upgraded to through Samsung Kies. Their only answer was to take it back to the shop and they would send it away to be downgraded back to Gingerbread.
Is this likely to solve the problem? I am sceptical. The phone has been running fine on ICS for maybe a month, or since the official ICS rom was released anyway, its only in the past couple of days that I have had a problem.
I cant see it being a hardware issue as the speaker is obviously working for me to hear ringtones and be able to hold a phone call on speakerphone (though that doesnt rule out a hardware issue with the earpiece). I was originally thinking more a software conflict somewhere, so thats why I decided to try a reset and firmware upgrade. I have run it with just a couple of apps from Google Play, Facebook and Tunein Radio to be precise and it still had the same issues, and then tried it without installing anything from Google Play, just transferring a single music file from my PC to the phone and that didnt work either. The track played, but there was no audio to hear via the speaker. If I connect headphones to the 3.5mm socket I can hear the audio perfectly fine.
Im hoping someone has some input on this before I go to the store with the phone tomorrow. Has anyone experienced similar issues?
Cheers in advance

Ive been looking a bit further into this and Im wondering if the headphone socket may be to blame?
Ive had a couple of people take a look at the headphone socket, and the general consensus is that it doesnt look right. One thinks that maybe a pin is bent and the bottom of the socket just looks 'wrong'. Thoughts?

Music interrupts

Hello,
I have a question about the new android 8.0
Yesterday i installed the new update on my phone
It looked really nice
But everytime i get a message from any app the music lowers for a moment. I have notifications turned off when listening music. But it doesn't help.
Any solutions?
(I didn't have this with the previous update)

Alarm doesn't go through during calls?

Whenever I'm in a call using apps like discord or skype, my alarm doesn't go off. The notification appears for me to snooze or end it, but my phone doesn't make any noise or vibrate. Is there anyway to have an alarm go off during calls? This used to work for me in the past.
