Hey all, it's been bothering me for quite a while and am just getting around to it now.
When listening to music (on any type of player app), I do not hear my notification sounds. The only thing that happens is that the music still plays, but lowers itself to maybe 20% for a few seconds, then back to normal.
This is the only way I know "something" came in. But with no audio queues, I have no idea from which app.
I believe I never had this issue with my old wired headphones. Unfortunately I no longer have wired headphones to test with.
Has anyone else come across this?

Ok this is an issue that's plagued this phone since 2.2 came out(at least that's when I noticed it) and I'm asking if anyone knows of a workaround, fix, or otherwise to resolve this. My issue is that when I have headphones plugged in, listening to music, playing a game or whatever, I want(and expect) notification sounds(ringers, new text, new e-mail, etc.) sound to play through, and only through, the headphones. Instead what I get is that it plays through the external speaker(huh?) AND the headphones. I would expect that with anything plugged into the 3.5mm jack that the external speaker is entirely muted and remains that way until whatever's plugged into it is removed.
I work in a fairly quiet environment and sometimes forget to turn my ringer off when I get to the office. I am almost always listening to a podcast with my headphones though and it's disturbing to those around me and startles me, lol, when my phone rings, blasting it out to those around me. I have experienced this issue on the official 2.2 froyo build(and it's patches). I installed SFR(all versions) hoping it might do the trick but so far no. Is this something that might be fixed in a different kernel? I know I have options to run a different one and am not averse to trying it out if this is fixable. SFR has Voodoo control pre-installed which I checked to see if it had any settings for this type of thing and found none.
Help?
This is an issue with Android itself (all versions) and it is the same on every phone. I think Cyanogenmod is the only "solution."'
Bought a Moto S10-HD headset, and it sounds great, but I noticed that when I get notifications, my music pauses like normal, but the notification sound gets played on the phone, and it's not passed along to the headset. Music resumes as normal after the notification. That doesn't happen when using the wired headphones, but if I'm using a bluetooth headset and I leave my phone in the other room, the only way I'll know if I get a notification will be the music pausing.
Any ideas?
It does that to me with my Car stereo when its hooked up via BT. It isn't really an issue for me since I am never far enough away from my phone where i don't hear the notification coming from the phone. I never thought about why it does this, but since you brought it up, I would love to know as well.
A quick google search shows that this is apparently the holy grail for bluetooth headphone users. However, I think the same thing happens with wired headphones as well.
I too, would like to know why and have it solved.
My stock wired headphones play the notification tone fine.
While I'm here, another thing I noticed is the system sounds that are played over bluetooth are somewhat quiet compared to music. That also doesn't happen on the wired headphones.
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.
Got my Note3 on VZW last night, and so far i love almost everything about it....except...
I am sitting at work streaming music. I have a set of speakers plugged into the headphone jack.
When i receive an SMS (or any notification), the music pauses like normal. However, right before and after the pause, i hear a "pop" sound, as if i physically unplugged the speakers and plugged them back in. My Gnex that the note replaced definitely did not do this.
I don't believe it made the sound when connected BT in my car.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? It sounds like a grounding issue.
Same for me

I am using Rhapsody, so there isn't another app option. I dont have any local music on the phone yet, but i will try that at some point.
I stream music through Rhapsody every day. I hope this isn't a hardware issue. Seeing poweramp work better makes me hopeful it is just a software issue.
I having a popping sound on the stock earbuds and in my car when listening to music. I know this was an issue that was supposed to be fixed in 4.5 (or one of those), but I am currently having this issue in 5.1. Does any one have any suggestions?
Thanks
