okay so power amp shows music controls thru s cover, which I like. what I don't like is when I click pause for a sec, the power amp on the lock screen goes away, and I have to open it again. anybody know how to get this to play nice with power amp?
power amp doesn't seem to have a keep in notification bar option for when it's paused. thoughts anyone?

I found while running MP3's with coreplayer while using the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 bluetooth headset, that the sound would play for about 5 seconds then cut out for about 5 seconds constantly.
I then realised it was as soon as I hit the "power" "sleep" button.
So to fix the problem I hit the power button then hit it again so the screen shows the screen lock page. Then put it in my pocket and it goes to sleep by itself but plays the music perfectly.
Not 100% sure why this is but thought I would share it!
This is happening to me with my HBH-IS800 as well. The audio keeps cutting out. I'll try your method and see if that works.
Are you able to control the volume of the IS800 outside of Coreplayer? Are you able to use the system volume or the volume in a player like Windows Media Player to control the volume? I'm unable to and it's really frustrating.

This also works for the wired headset/earphones... even with the "dont stop playing when screen off" fix it still cut out... but following this easy little step it worked...
I can't control the volume outside of coreplayer really annoying!
Hi gurus,
I would like to be able to change volume when screen is turned off. Do you have a tweak?
Many thanks in advance
This is true, it gets REALLY annoying especially when I'm listening to music and can't adjust the volume with the screen off. Would love to see this problem fixed, especially since it was alleged that the HTC stock earphones had "volume control capabilities" (sigh....).
Had to resort to choosing between a HTC earphone with "forward", "backward", "call answer" capabilities, or a normal (and much better sound quality) earphone with volume control.
Tough choice eh? So yeah, I'm just typing this to bump this thread up, hopefully this would get fixed soon!!!
I use the HTC Music Player and the volume controls work for me on the side of the phone. Not sure what player you may be using, but I like to use the hardware supported software for reasons like these.

I was going to type much the same thing earlier, but got sidetracked.
Volume works fine for me in standby.

Wooohoo!! Thanks!
p/s: Another question, would u guys have any idea how to reduce the volume bar increments from 3 bars to 1 bar? I know this can be done by adjusting the on screen volume bar via touching it. But using the volume rocker with the screen off while listening to music doesn't actually help, does it? It either gets too loud or too soft when I click on the volume rocker.
Is there any way of doing this without having to use the HTC player?
I have a preference for a different player (pocket player) but wish I didn't have to turn on the screen to access the volume controls.

windows media player volume works in standby.
Wife has a GT-I9505G Google Edition phone we purchased from Google Play back in October. Bone stock (4.4.2, Baseband: I9505GUEUCML4, Build: KOTH49H.S001.131204), no root, nothing special installed.
When she goes to increase the volume, we hear 2 "volume increase" noises. They're very close together and very fast. This _only_ happens when she increases the volume. When you hit the VOL DOWN key, it plays the single, standard sound. This is annoying. Has anyone else seen this??
Also, when she has her headphones on (pair of Scoche with inline remote and mic, built for iPhones) and she adjusts the volume up or down, you can hear the volume adjust sounds in the headphones, but also from the phone itself. The same goes for when a call comes in, or Hangout. The Notification sound is played on the phone and headphones. She doesn't want that behavior. If the headphones are plugged in, the notification should only go over the headphones. (On further research, this "feature" appears to be deliberate. Some have tried SoundAbout to fix this behavior).
IPhone head sets are not compatible with android phones. The configuration of the pins are different.

The headphones work as headphones and the mic also works during phone conversations. So that statement isn't fully true. I know the internals of the remote are different which is why "Made for iPhone" headphones don't 100% work on Android devices. The middle button of the 3 can do play/pause. The Vol Up/Down buttons do not work. This is all due to the internals of the remote, and not the "pins" on the headphones. There is a way to modify "Made for iPhone" headphones to work with Android.
Still, it seems the issue about Notification Sounds being played through the headphones _and_ phone speaker isn't really an issue. It's designed to function in that manner. Many people don't like this design (and I can see a case for and against it) so there are apps on the Play Store to "fix" it. We're using SoundAbout now and it did fix that issue.
The other issue still remains, and that's the problem where you hit VOL UP and most times, you'll get a double VOL UP sound. VOL DOWN gives the standard one sound, but VOL UP, gives 2 really fast. That's annoying.
Last night, we discovered that certain apps (when running in the background) will only display the MEDIA VOLUME when you hit the VOL UP/DOWN buttons. Specifically, when we had Bejeweled Blitz running in the background, the MEDIA VOLUME would be the only option for volume control. When we closed BB, it took several seconds for Android to give us the phone volume instead of media volume. I'm thinking the only solution will be to unlock her phone, and install root, then several XPosed modules to give her more functionality.

So whenever I listen to music and the sound is too low, i turn up the volume with one button press. Now it is too loud. When i turn it back down, it is too soft. Is there anyway to divide the media volume bar into more sections?

There an xposed module that makes the slider have 30 steps, it's like xvolumemod or something. You can download it straight in the app.

Hey, first off to make things more clear here are some facts:
Phone: Nexus 6P
Earphones: Betron DC950 Earphones
Music App: Spotify
Shed Location: Bottom of Garden
Bit of a weird one here...
I bought the earphones from amazon with the intentions of them being a 'daily driver' if you will.
However; when I use them when playing my drums (which is my shed) they constantly turn the volume down.
This does not happen straight away though, it ranges from 5-10 minutes (after starting a song).
When it does happen though, the volume is turned down in increments.
When I press volume up the volume does go up.... But then turns straight back down after.
This is the only happens in my shed...
And i've used another pair of earphone + headphones which Do not have this problem.
Any ideas?
I have this exact same problem with a pair of headphones which I got from ExtremeGuard.
Happened everywhere to me though..
I find it completely bizarre that it only happens in 1 location, which means there's got to be some electromagnetic interference or something. The earphones have volume toggle and play/pause button on them, maybe it could be that.
My earphones only have a mic, and no volume toggles though.
Got the exact same issue. This happens for me when there's noise around the mic. I tried shaking the mic and could clearly see the volume indicator showing that the volume drops in increments.
Did you find any kind of solution?
