[Q] Notifications w/ headphones plugged in - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just noticed that while I've got headphones plugged in, listening to music, my notification sounds are still going through the speaker so everyone else can hear them but me. I looked in settings but don't see anything that would affect this. Does anybody else know how to make the notifications come through the headphones too?
Thanks,
Chris

notification sound when headset on.

I don't remember this with any of the other Galaxy S phones.
When i plug in my headset, i still can hear the notifications through the main speaker. Does the fascinate have some sort of setting to disable this? I'm used to plugging in headsets to basically mute the phone. It's annoying when i'm listening to music and everyone can tell when i'm getting texted.

Headphones Distortion / Background Noise

Hi - just wondering if anyone else noticed some background noise / distortion when using headphones on the tab 7.7.
Happens when playing any sound and continues for 2-3 seconds after it stops. Tested with the stock buds and some replacement buds I picked up a few days ago. With my over the ear headphones I can't hear it though. Easiest way to test is just by playing a movie and pausing it.... there is a hissing noise for a few seconds afterwards.
Maybe related: even with headphones plugged in, notification sounds come out of the speakers - this is my first Android device so I'm not sure if that's normal or not.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it might be hardware related. Thanks!

Yeah I get that too. Doesn't really bother me though. I mean, it's not like I can still hear it while playing music or anything...
Mine's pretty noticable, even when playing music/videos. Weird that it's totally quiet with my over-the-ear headphones

Personally, I only really notice it if there's a trailing silence from music or videos, but while there's actually sound, I can't detect it.

Headphone notification sound

Hello all, does anyone out there know if there is a mod or procedure to disable the notification /ring sound on the external speaker when headphones are connected? I find it rediculous that it would play a sound on the speaker when the headphones are plugged in, is it to let everyone else in the train know when i get a text?

Ringtones with headphones splugged in

If I have the headphones plugged in, when I receive a call or a message, the ringtone is heard only through the loudspeaker and not into the headphones: is this normal?
did you get an answer to this?, mine does it too.
It's always like that. Incase you have the headphones plugged in and not actively using your phone you will still hear it

S8 DID NOT reduce music volume when notification sound is being played

If I connect S8 to wired earbuds, I can hear the notification sound( music volume not reduced) but not that clear as the notification sound is mixed with music. This gets worse if S8 is connected to a Bluetooth headphone--I can barely hear the notification sound( sometimes notification sound is not played at all, I don't know why). I switched from iPhone 7 and found this pretty annoying. I missed a lot of notifications while listening to music over Bluetooth. Anyone know how to reduce the music volume on notification? I looked through all the settings and didn't find anything useful.
Thanks for any useful information!
I'm actually looking for this very thing. For me, no matter what sound device I use, wired, wireless, etc., audio ducking is way too annoying for notifications I'm not necessarily interested in immediately (e.g. Facebook group updates from groups I rarely visit).
Im bumping this up
I have a s8+ duos with similar problem. But only with Bose qc35.
If music is playing and connected with Bluetooth, no notification sound is heard. Music is only slightly reduced in dB for a second or two then back to normal.
With cable /wired, the notification is heard loud and clear.
This happened two weeks ago and was working great until then. Reset doesn't work. Have no clue about.
Same here
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
I found a solution. For me at least.
Connect Bluetooth headphones
Reduce media volume to very low.
Keep notification sound at 25-30%.
Now increase volume on your headphones - if you can.
Try send a message to yourself or similar just to let you hear if the notification sound is heard or not.
.....
I also enabled dualsound and turned it off at the same time so Im not sure which of these settings that were the solution.
Try both.
It seems my bose qc 35 have different sound presets depending on which device its connected to since my sony phone didn't have this issue. Doesn't matter even if the bose where reset, downgraded or removed device list.
And this issue was only on a dualsim. Tested against several s8 and regular s8+. Very strange.
