I like the watch to play tones most of the time when I am emailed but there are times the watch needs to be quiet.
Swipe Down
Click on the Speaker Icon, it greys and says "Speaker is off"
But I still get notifications with my speaker.
Fixed "Feel the Wear" was updated and this no longer happens

I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. If you recieve any notifications When listening to any audio through headphones (or through the mini usb port), the device pushes the notification sound through the speaker. This is fine when having a ringer enabled because I'd obviously want to hear the ring. What I dislike though, is when I have notfications (rings, text messages, etc.) on silent or vibrate, it pushes the audio that I'm listening to through the speaker still. I've always disliked this in WM. My PPC6700 did the same thing, but now I'd really like to know if there's a way to change this.
Now that I have an 8GB SD card, my Titan has started to become my primary mp3 player. I do FOH sound at a local club, and when playing music between bands, it's really annoying to have the music suddenlly cut out because a phone call is coming in. Likewise when I'm quietly watching MobiTV with my headphones on at work, and suddenly, Survivorman is blaring through the speaker because a call is coming in...You get the point. The ringer is off, but the phone still trys to let a ring through the speaker anyway, and since no ring is selected, it pushes any audio being played through.
I realize that this relatively simple problem probably does not have a simple solution as this is probably buried deep in the architecture of how WM handles audio gateways...that almost sounded like I knew what I was talking about; I can assure you that I do not . This is where you guys come in. I'm willing to test any ideas you guys have got. I don't care if it f&#*s up my phone...a hard reset isn't going to ruin my day. I'd just like a solution for this.
Ideas??
Thanks for your help and for this forum!..it has saved my phone more then a few times already.
Me too having the same problem. I listen to music via my bluetooth mono headset and these notifications (whcih I get plenty) disconnect the bluetooth audio gateway, forcing me to reach out to my phone and enabling the audio gateway again.
Yeah, I hate that too! I have the i760, one other thing on this phone I dislike is that the volume must be on to hear audio through my headphones. But there I am in a store listening to some rock at a loud volume, and there it is playing for the entire f'n store to hear when I get a call, thanks PPC!
Possible Solution!!!!
Might I recommend a Profiler. Like PPCProfiler. Just Google it.
What you could do is create a profile called music or what ever you want to name it. Then you could set up that profile to turn ringers on with the volume level you like and with or without vibration and select silent or vibrate only for the notifications. You could really but together any combination. I believe with PPCProfile you can even make a profile as a Headset Mode. So it will auto detect the headset and switch without having to do anything else.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, but a profiler isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I've had them before in previous roms. The problem isn't that it's an inconvienence to switch to silent or vibrate. It's that when things are silenced or on vibrate, any background audio is pushed through the speaker while the notification is going off. Meanwhile that audio that I want to be played cuts out of the path that I want it going through (ie. headphones).
Thanks tho...I'm open to any ideas.
Hi All,
I have searched to see if there are any posts about this, but I can't find one.
Whenever my phone is on silent, and I have music playing through headphones or the headphone jack, the music gets interrupted when a text message arrives. The music simply cuts for a few seconds, and then resumes.
BUT
It's not the music stopping playing, oh no. It obviously continues playing *silently* because the song resumes about a second later, but about a second later in the song!
Is this intentional or is there something wrong with my one?
Cheers,
Tom
huh, obviously when you're not on silent, the music is fading away to make your "incoming message" sound more obvious
looks like there needs to be some special-casing so it doesn't do this on silent. Might be worth opening a support ticket to HTC - as long as you make clear it's a bug report and not a request for help, they are pretty good about passing these things onto the dev team (though that doesn't guarentee it'll get fixed, of course)
personally, i'd think that, silent or not, you should still hear the "incoming message" sound over headphones, but that's a matter of opinion I suppose
I've also noticed that when I use my Bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music and get an incoming SMS or the phone has to play any kind of notification, it doesn't send it to the headset, but instead pauses the music (not putting it on pause, but interrupting it shortly...) for a second while it plays the notification audibly through the phone speakers.
Can anyone confirm this? Thank you.
I have a focus flash Mi7Rom
I would like to know if anyone has the same issue.
In Vibrate mode, when you are listening music with a headphone and someone call you, the music will not fade out. You can feel the vibration but no ringtone being played.
In Ring+vibrate mode, under the same situation, music will fade out and ringtone is playing from both headphone and the phone speaker.
Is there anyway to change the setting in vibrate mode where music will fade out with ringtone play when call is coming?
If my phone is in my jacket and someone call me when I was listening music, i would missed that call.
Same things apply to SMS. No notification sound in vibrate mode.
I'm not sure why you think this is a problem. The phone is not supposed to play audio notifications in vibrate mode. If you want the phone to play audio notifications or "ring" then use the ring + vibrate mode. As you mentioned in your post that mode does exactly what you need.
Also, as of now WP7 does not have a mode which plays back audio notifications only through the line out and not through the phone speaker.
Many times I have my phone is in my jacket that I couldn't feel the vibration
If the phone would fade out the music and play my ringtone, then I could have answered those missed calls.
coming from IOS, it's kinda inconvenient.
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
Hi,
Recently came across this strange behavior on my nexus 6p device, not sure if it’s a bug or if I am missing something. This is what happens:
I am listening to media, for example a podcast from Pocket casts with wired headphones. As soon as I lock the screen and put the device in my pocket the sound stops, I go in to the application that is playing the sound and see that it is still playing even though I don’t hear any sound. I use the volume rocker to have a look at the sound settings and don’t see any reason as to why it has stopped producing sound. The same goes for Spotify so it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the applications. In order to get the sound back I need to pause the podcast\song and press play again
I can almost simulate this whenever I want by putting it in my pocket, it gets muted right when the lining of my pants covers the bottom speaker (on the usb side).
Found a solution, *I went into the "Ok Google" detection settings and disabled "Always on" and "Trusted voice" and then deleted my recorded recognition, it seems to have fixed the problem.
If I turn them back on, the problem appears again
