The other day I came across the audio path function, when you swipe down the notification bar, this allowed to redirect sound to the phone speakers rather than Bluetooth when I wasn't playing anything through the car Bluetooth media, whilst listening to radio and therefore able to hear noises and alerts through the phone
Today when I tried to use the same function, the audio path function is now no longer available, just the quick connect option, which just brings up the Bluetooth devices
Anybody know why this would have disappeared?
Here are some pics of what I mean. Am connected to Bluetooth headphones and music playing through them, but no audio path showing in settings

Maybe if you post it in 3 other forums you'll find your answer

That font makes me want to poke my eyes out... Yuck. Lol.
Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question either.

Bluetooth able to play all sound?

Ok, I could have swore I seen a thread on this a while back, but now I can't seem to find it, can someone point me to this info on how to play ringtones and other sound thru my bt? thank you
Maybe you need some sort of software to ensure that the signal is routed properly.

This guys shows how to setup to play music through your BT earpiece. Maybe that will open up the channel for you to hear all phone sounds?
These files will do the basic function of routing ALL audio from the device to BT. One starts the audio, one stops.
Hope this helps.

Bluetooth Headset, Ringing on Phone, Call over Headset

Sorry for the quircky title.
I want to get myself the HD2, since I just love the screen and it's pretty tweakible . However, I can't hold a phone at my ear for a long time, so I want to use a Bluetooth Stereo headset. But, I will not be wearing the plugs in my ear during the entire day, so I need the following feature:
1. When connected to the Bluetooth Stereo Headset, I want the sound of incoming calls, sms, mms, email, whatever... via the speaker on the phone.
2. When I answer a call, I want the audio to go over the Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
3. When I play music, watch video, etc, I want all the audio from 1. and 2. to go over the Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
4. When the Bluetooth Stereo Headset is not connected I want all the audio to go via the speaker on the phone.
Can this be done by a default solution, or do I need to download free / buy commercial software for this or is it just not possible?
I can't find the answer anywhere, so that's why I'm asking.
Thank you for any and all answers.
hi,
you should get a headset that supports both bt audio protocols 1. hands-free for phonecalls and 2. stereo audio for music and systemsounds. i have 2 of these devices, when they connected all music and systemsounds are redirected to the headset, also phonecalls. the only thing that the speaker of the phone plays are the ringtones for incomming calls. the only thing not working of your list is the notification for sms, mms etc. because the hd2 is playing them as normal audio, so you hear them on the headset and not at the speaker. but that may depend on the rom you use.

Thanx madbird. All I needed to know. I can live with this idea. For the other notifications there might be a led feature, so that solves yet another question. Sill doubting between X10 and HD2 though...
I remember I saw a registry modification here on XDA to force the sound of ringing through the main speaker and not through the headset, I just don't remember where.... google it.

I found some posts. However, I can't test anything, since I don't have the HD2. Yet. After watching another gazillion youtubes regarding the HD2 I will get it. I just can't get myself to part from outlook yet and keep all my contacts/calendar/tasks etc in 'the cloud'...
Why part from outlook? No need to, I do everything with outlook like the past 6 years and don't use the myphone thing...

Sorry, I'm mixing posts again . I was in doubt between the X10 and the HD2. After watching and reading quite some (p)reviews and youtube movies, I do see the power of Android, but integration with Outlook is slim to none. Yes, I can use Moxier, but that would give me 2 contact databases (from what I understoord anyways), missing the integration fun. And I don't want to use Google calendar/mail/taks etc, since they lack integration. It will come, but I need that stuff today, not tomorrow.
Short version: I do not want to part from Outlook , it's one of the main reasons for me not switching to Android...

Audio Path

Does the Audio Path toggle come and go for anyone else? I just noticed it. It's super convenient when present especially when I wanna switch from Bluetooth headset to speakers to share a song or video with friends.
Yup only there when more than one path available, very nice feature, voice control of it would be cool

Noticed the same today. The other day had it available in the car, when connected to Bluetooth but listening to radio, wanted sound through phone speakers and worked great
Today, the audio path option has gone, but still connected the same to the stereo ... Ideas?

Is Your quick connect still enabled, that's what will make the audio path option show up when multiple options are available
Solution
Open samsung connect
Go to settings in that app
Switch samsung connect panel
Done
Enjoy

Bluetooth notification question

When I get in my car the phone connects to Bluetooth for calls media and contacts. Exactly what it's supposed to do. My question is does anybody know how to route notifications to play through the phone speaker and not Bluetooth.
Google Maps has a setting in it that routes audio through the phone speaker instead of my car's speaker via Bluetooth but every other notification doesn't play from the phone.
I want to be able to listen to my radio but still hear my notifications. And I know I can press the volume button and switch the output but that doesn't help me because sometimes I listen to Pandora and want the output through Bluetooth.

Have the same "problem"
Bump!
I'm interested in this as well. My car is "older" (2015) and has no Android Auto support, so customizing what goes to speaker and what goes via Bluetooth.

seperate sound app

I dont know if this is the right place to post this but ive been digging the Internet for This
Im searching for any app or option that allows me to have 2 different outputs for 2 different audios in the same time
As an example - being on a phone call through my normal device speaker and in the same time playing music through my Bluetooth speaker
I found an option that does this in Samsung devices called separate sound app - so i know its possible.
Any solutions?
