nav no longer mutes audio - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

for some reason recently my google maps and waze no longer mutes the audio of any music playing when it gives turn by turn directions. it used to work just fine, whenever it would start the give directions it would mute my music. any one else have this problem ...or have a fix?

Waze should still have a configuration setting to mute it; Maps this seems to be an app change as I noticed this as well. There is a setting once you are in a route where you can set it to mute during calls, I have not found any other option for muting.

weird. this is a recent thing for me. i never had to make any change in any app or do anything before. this really just started happening about a week ago for me.

Bluetooth activates for games even when sounds r turned off

Not sure this is the right place but perhaps someone will correct me if I err. I have a new Pure running the stock Rom so far with the latest TD tools installed. TD Tools did not cause this I mention it only to give the full configuration.
I have sounds for programs and events turned off if the settings so all I should be getting are phone and messaging sounds.
I firsdt noticed this when I installed a solitaire game from Astraware. When I start the game my bluetooth activates and will not return to standby until I actually close the program. I get the same thing in Sudoku also by Astraware.
Astraware assure me their programs don't do this. They were baffled as to why it would happen.
I tried Teeter and found again that even with sounds off bluetooth activates when an event like going into the hole happens. It does go off within the delay time built into the unit so I am assuming that the sound is just a brief on-off transmission.
This wouldn't be so bad except that my bluetooth is connected to my hearing aids so that most outside sounds are partially muted when it is activated. Using the bluetooth of course drains it's battery and this unit's talk time is not the longest to begin with.
Has anyone heard of this, seen this or does anyone have any ideas how to stop it?
Let me clarify at bit.
When I play the game my bluetooth goes into phone mode. The game sounds are muted so I hear nothing but my bluetooth is locked into phone and won't release.
I have not heard of this issue, however...
Please do not open multiple threads regarding the same issue.

Audio/sound not working consistently on CM 7.1

Since flashing 7.1 my sound goes in/out. Sometimes it's all audio, or sometimes just certain things. Right now I get audio in apps and when changing the ring tone volume, but when selecting a ring tone or notification tone, I don't hear anything. Sometimes the dialing noise works, sometimes it's doesn't. Rebooting and/or change my profile doesn't help. I tried changing the overrides in the profile settings and that didn't do anything either.
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
So this only started happened after you flashed CM7? I had a somewhat similar problem because I replaced the back assembly on my phone and replaced the speaker in the process as the old was blown. Apparently, a screw had attached itself to the speaker and was keeping it from seating correct and causing audio to go in it out. In point, it could be a hardware problem and something is wrong with your speaker. Does head phones work, or the actual ear piece?
The speaker works because my phone rings when someone calls me, but sometimes the notification sound doesn't work when I get a text message. At this moment I still can't hear ring tones when I select them in the Sound settings, but it works when I get an incoming call. I know the speaker works fine. Phone calls work normally and if I play a Youtube video I get normal audio (but that didn't work this morning). It definitely seems like a software issue.
My phone was on unrooted Sense before 7.1 so that's all I have to compare it to, but everything worked fine then.
I found out if I switch from Default to Home profile, everything works again, but I can't figure out what in the Default profile is stopping the noise. I've checked everything 10x over.
wow i am currently having the exact same issue
Sound isn't working again. I only have one profile and yesterday I was getting sound with SMS, now I just get vibration. This is really frustrating. Anyone know what to do?
I really wish all the sounds/notifications were set in one place, instead of in the app, in the sound options, AND in the profiles. It's really confusing.
I think it's linked to bluetooth. If I use my headset for a call then turn off bluetooth, there is no audio on the phone (either speaker) until I reboot.

Sound Issue- sound coming through earpiecece instead of bottom speakers- 2nd unit

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue for a user involving the S7 Edge. I have seen some other sound issues here, but not this exact one. Occasionally, sound will come through the earpiece instead of the bottom speaker. YouTube, Google Music etc all seem to demonstrate this. Once the phone is rebooted it seems to fix the issue. However, I had the unit replaced, and the 2nd unit is doing the same thing. I keep scanning to see if maybe something is in range its connecting to, but no devices are listed. Any ideas what could be causing the sound to come out of the ear piece and then be fine after a reboot?
Thanks!
my one does not have the same problem as you but the sound will come from the speaker instead of earpiece when i listening to voice message from line with the earpiece being put right next to ear just like making regular call
*BUMP*
I have almost the same issue as this with a slight difference.
Occasionally my sound in the bottom speakers will stop and go through the ear speaker instead. When this happens Google Music, Youtube and some other apps won't work. For example pressing play in either of those does nothing. However, my alarm app plays through the ear speaker and the sound can't be increased or decreased (it's quiet too).
The only fix that I've found for this is a phone reboot.. Super annoying because I've missed important alarms from this.
Do you by chance use the YouMail app?? I've been having the exact same issue. I recently received my 2nd replacement phone for that and some other issues, but I'm still having the same problem with the audio suddenly playing through the ear speaker. I think I just tied it to YouMail. Everything was fine and I checked a voicemail. 10 minutes later realized my audio was messed up again. I force closed YouMail and the audio is playing through the correct speaker without having to reboot. I'm not sure why it's doing that, but thats what I figured out. Hopefully it'll be the same for you.

I share the same experience as Allycat. Starting with 2 updates ago, YouMail has redirected media sound to the ear speaker. I use Better YouMail to avoid this problem.

My phone started doing this a few weeks ago. Some apps won't work, I see a message that says there is a call in progress, but I am not making a call at that time. When I am listening to music, the volume switches to the ear piece and when I turn the volume up or down, the display says "Call Volume." When it connects to Bluetooth, I have the same issue. The display says I am making a call but I am playing music or listening to an audiobook.
I spoke with AT&T and Samsung, they said it was an app issue.
Any suggestions?
This has just started happening for me. I'm using the stock samsung rom, but I have rooted and am using Xposed. It was working fine, but now all notifications from the default Samsung messenger app result in no sound through the speaker. I am able to hear notifications from other applications like Inbox, Whatsapp etc. I downloaded Google Messenger and I can hear the notification tone when receiving an SMS. Upon switching back to Samsung messenger, I can't hear it. I've tried rebooting, clearing the caches etc. Nothing seems to fix it.
Has anyone else seen this? I may have to just either factory reset or reflash.

I resolved my issue. There was a rule setup in the XNotifications Xposed framwork module which was muting messages to the Samsung Messenger app. I'm assuming this was user error on my count. I disabled the rule and it's now working

Have you find the problem?
Force stop the app you used for calling
Had the same issue. Just go to settings and force stop the app you recently used for calling like Messenger, Whatsapp, etc.

Joying android 6, Intel Sofia Issues

Hi all,
I have The Joying 8" 1 din, with Android 6, Intel CPU.
I have 2 annoying issues on my HU,
1. When i hearing Radio end using Waze navigation app, its works fine, till the Waze make a voice (navigation instructions, Turn right, turn left Etc..) this is the point that the sound priority goes to Waze, and eliminate the Radio.
I need to enter the Radio app again and again after every Waze sound output.
Is there any solution for this issue?
2. The Bluetooth phone speaker worked just fine except one very annoying thing:
When its on a call, the Bluetooth display is on, and i can't close it until i end my call.
for example, if i on my way with Waze navigation app, and i get incoming call, the navigation app is disable till i and my conversation!
Is there any way that i can do that the Bluetooth build in speaker work on the background?
Thanks!

Issue: No Voice Turn By Turn Navigation and 1 other small thing

Hello,
My new pixel 4xl is working great except for 2 reasons. The main one being I don't get turn by turn voice navigation. I get no voice at all when navigating. COnsidering I drive for Uber on the side this is very bad.
I checked all settings and they are all correct as far as I can tell - play over bluetooth and everything is on. Doesn't matter if I am on BT or not, nothing. I've tried rebooting of course.
Second smaller issue is no audio sound goes off when What's App messages come through. I've checked all those settings in Apps & NOtifications and they all look good. What gives?

Try opening the Android Auto app. on your phone & check 'Driving Mode' is not selected to 'Do Not Disturb'. I had a similar problem where my Music app was not showing up & turn by turn voice navigation was muted.
After changing this setting AA now appears to work as it should. Sounds like you might have the same problem. Anyway, worth a try. Good luck [emoji106]

Do you have captions enabled when there is voice? This may do closed captioning while silencing the volume until you adjust the volume.
Someone in the 4xl mentioned a similar issue. I think they worked out that they were on the maps beta. Coming out of that resolved the issue.
