One big sarcastic thank you to Sony for adding such obtrusive bloat. Every single time I plug in my headphones I get this notification prompting me to enable this extra audio processing effect which I have no interest in of doing so:

Sorry i can't embed the image because I am new.
Does anyone happen to know of a way to disable this?
Once I tapped on the notification and enabled the Audio Processing, then disabled it, I've never seen it again.

As others have pointed out, the Epic has an annoying "feature" of making a sound whenever it re-establishes a cell radio connection and there's no real way to disable it in the stock ROM.
This doesn't really bother me per se since I can live with muting the alerts volume, but that doesn't prevent the notification event from cutting into whatever music I'm listening to on wired headphones--the volume will drop to make way for an audio alert regardless of the volume level or vibrate mode, then come back up. It happens on just about every audio app I've tried.
Well thankfully, I just got a pair of Bluetooth headphones and for whatever reason the issue doesn't crop up, at least not so far. I thought others might find this helpful, particularly subway commuters.
Is there a way to disable the annoying feature that reduces volume when a 3.5mm aux cable is connected to the phone? LG claims this is to "protect my ears". I'm a big boy, I can protect my own darn ears! I use my phone to play music in my car (why Mazda didn't include an A2DP profile on the Miata until the 2013 model year is beyond me) and every time someone texts me or calls me the volume level gets reduced, causing me to need to grab the phone and raise it back up which, needless to say, is dangerous and annoying.
great description, I would also like to see a work around to this issue.
I have been wondering this since day 1.
There's an Xposed mod that does that, maybe we could get the dev to add G2 support.

Meanwhile I can look for that particular code inside the framework files, but it would be a dirty fix as everyone would have to edit the smali for their own ROM.
It it just me, or is the stock rom shocking for poor sound quality?
Popping, clicking, missed notification sounds, cut/muted odd notifications - its all very irritating.
I've had to turn all the UI sounds off because of the popping/clicking noises that follow it.
I hope they fix it.
I´m glad, that I´m not the only one with this problem.
Did you try turning OFF the Audio Effects in Settings > Sound and Notification?
Also, there is a known issue with volume ramp-up for the first 1-2 seconds of alarms and notifications sounds. Will cause a very short sound to "not play" because the first second of the audio plays at zero volume.
I use my own MP3 files edited to add 2 second silence to the beginning of the playback, as a workaround. (Also separates the vibe and sound so the sound can still be heard clearly when vibe+sound is on - the original reason I added the 2 seconds. Because I like those sounds.
There is also at least one app to force full notification/alarm playback volume from the start of playback. Haven't tried it, others have posted about it here.

Yup, turned the Audio Effects stuff - first thing I did.
It doesn't do it on 3rd party roms, Only the stock rom. It's frustrating A-F
Hey everyone,
I'm running Emporia ROM . As the title says, I want to remove the volume warning without installing Xposed framework, due to the reduction in battery life and performance. The ROM is perfect otherwise, but I would really like to remove the volume warning. Perhaps a zip you can flash? I know there are some apps that do the job, but would prefer a direct modification rather than a workaround
Secondary question, is there a way to disable notifications over Bluetooth when connected to my car's stereo? When I get a notification, it plays over both my phone speaker and then the stereo 1 second later. I would much prefer to have it play solely over the phone's speaker, and eliminate notification sounds over stereo completely. For now I'm resorting to setting the phone to vibrate every time I get in the car.
Also, is there anyway to delete that horrid pop up that occurs every time I enable Bluetooth? I always hit cancel since my phone pairs automatically, and it is incredibly annoying considering it serves no purpose
Thank you XDA
Bump, looking for answers
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.
