When I plug my headphones into my Evo the notification sounds still play through the external speaker. The only way to stop them from playing through the external speaker is to put it on vibrate or silent. But then that stops the notifications from playing through the headset too.
Does anyone have a fix or a workaround? Is this just an HTC Sense issue or is this a problem with android? I've looked into using tasker to disable the external speaker when a headset is hooked up but I haven't been able to figure out a way to make that work. Tasker seems to rely on the profiles and none of them support this.
There's a ticket open here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6696. But for some crazy reason this is considered an enhancement. I think this is a pretty serious bug. I mean, who would want ANY sounds coming from the external speaker while a headset is attached?
I feel your pain. Whenever I'm listening to music w/ my headphones, my roommate is able to hear my SMS notifications through my speaker =(
so, uh, bump....anyone have any luck finding a solution to this? doesn't seem to have been fixed with 3.29...
Also interested in this. I was in the library listening to pandora on my headset and I got a call...and the ring played through the speakers! Ahhhh...we need a solution to this!
Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...

I have a pair of bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth receiver in my car.
Once i pair either one to my Touch Pro 2, i noticed that raising/lowering the volume on my HD2 does not affect the audio what so ever(unless i put it on mute).
The music sounds very loud and distorted, and i cant control the volume either way...Anyone else run into this issue? How can i solve it?
That's normal. You need to adjust the volume at the receiving end.
I have the exact same problem. Not sure why as when I pair up to my speakers, the phone tells me it cannot control the volume, yet it worked fine on my "Touch Pro" (the 1st one) and my Kaiser. Not looked for a solution, because its not much of an issue for me really.

But the problem is that, the audio being streamed from the HD2 is so loud and distorted, that i have to turn it down(but i cant).
So even if i turn it down on the receiving end, the distortion is still there.
With my old samsung omnia, i was able to turn the music up or down from the phone...I dont understand why this isnt possible with the Touch Pro 2.
The music coming from my phone is unlistenable. The distortion ruins the audio. Which really sucks, because i spent $300 on a car reciever with bluetooth!
There has to be a solution! Come on XDA!
Try turning it down on the phone first? Or get a player that uses it's own volume control instead of the system volume (I believe Mort Player and Nitrogen will do this).

Same problem here!!!
No volume control at all on TP2, and volume of music cant be changed through the system volume control either
I have a bluetooth connection to my motorcycle intercom system. I had the same problem, sort of.
I installed Conduits Pocket Player, and use the equalizer to bring down the level of the Bluetooth. That worked well enough for what I needed to do.
I read somewhere else on the forum here that this issue is attributed to the Widcomm Buetooth stack on our phones. Whenever I connect my headset to my phone or my laptop, I receive a warning that the volume must be adjusted on the output device, and cannot be adjusted on the phone/computer. It may be related to the poor support for AVRCP.

ok, so it seems that this wincomm bluetooth stack or whatever SUCKS. You're right....I guess the only work around i guess is a player that doesnt use the system volume, like coreplayer.
Coreplayer is great for movies, but for playing mp3's i would prefer Slide 2 Play.
Havent tried nitrogen yet though.
Does a mp3 player exist that is similar to slide 2 play, but doesnt use the system volume of the phone?
I too am not able to use many of the bluetooth audio accessories such as my jabra headphones, desktop speakers and my indash audio system. None of which work as they did with my Kaiser. This was supposed to be an upgrade to my Tilt and it doesnt even support the OLD protocals that were common 2 years ago?? Im seriously considering switching to blackberry. Anyone intrested in a nearly new Tilt 2. Goodbye htc (high tech crap)
THis is a problem with the bluetooth stack, just email HTC so they can get a patch for this. or microsoft because they are the ones that control what stack it gets.
this Goes for the HD2 and others too
I use my Desire HD for music playback and when using headphones I have strange problems.
I have used 3 different pairs of headphones with this phone spread over about 10 ish months. Each pair have headphones have been standard stereo headphones with no mic or in-line controls. The issue I get is something when I plug the headphones in they are recognized in the notification bar as headphones with mic (signified by the little icon) and other times just plain headphones which they are.
If they are recognized as having a mic, randomly while listening the phone will pause the music and ring the last called person in my call history.
I have no idea why they do this but it only happens when they are recognized as having a mic (which I'm 100% sure they don't). To get round this I unplug and plug them back in until they are recognized as just stereo headphones. This works for an hour or so of music playback until it will randomly recognize them as having a mic again and start calling someone.
As you can imagine this is VERY annoying.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think I had this problem before. But it occurs when I use the stock htc handsfree. I could hear static noise and my phone will start to call the last called person. I don't know how I solved it, but i guess it is related with my jack-in or the snd3254 dspmode configuration. I'm not sure though.

I have never used the stock headphone since they sound pretty awful.
I do hope someone has a way of fixing this.
Try "Headset Blocker" by Roadkill, free in the Market.

Is it just me, or notifications don't play through the headset?
When I play Pandora radio via headphones and an email arrives the music pauses, as usual, and...notification sound only comes through the speaker..
Can someone confirm this?
Thanks.
I think I have noticed the same thing, though I don't remember it playing over the phone speaker?
I could've sworn I saw a setting that let you choose whether a notification was sent through the headset or speaker...But I just went hunting through all the settings and can't find it.
not sure what headsets you guys are using... whenever i am playing music through my headphones (no mic) i always get a notification sound, came as default. i don't recall changing anything
well ive used 3 different head sets nowmal earbuds bluetooth and one with a mic and i get nothing from any of them
Mine works too. I use a regular JVC in-ear headsets to listen to music, and I can hear phone calls ringing, as well as message notifications coming in. Nothing seems any different than my other android phone. It might be a setting that u accidentally changed maybe?
every thing is stock other than having root
Well obviously it has something to do with the headset itself. Mine is Skullcandy FIX and it works dandy (other then inline vol up/down buttons) on Skyrocket and Atrix 4g, but on Nitro not only it doesn't get notifications through it, the mic doesn't work either!
I also have some brand I don't remember, from RadioShack store - no notifications, but at least mic works.
im going ot go to my AT&T store today and see what they will have ill post which headset works
Not sure where or what to search for on this issue but it's been killing me with my Nexus for the past few months.
Coming from a couple of HTC phones one thing I really liked about them, which might have been Sense feature, was the phone having two completely separate audio volumes one for when headphones were plugged in and another for when the phone was hooked up via Bluetooth.
My problem is I listen to music very low with headphones at work, then unplug them before getting into my truck, automatically hooking up to the Bluetooth to stream and the volume stays at the low headphone volume. To hear it over truck stereo I need to turn the phone BT volume all the way up. Fast forward to when I sit back down at work to listen to music, my headphone volume is back to the last BT volume or maxed out. Just a real annoyance and find it hard to believe this is the way Google designed it and has nothing in place when I'm having an off day and don't manually fix it before I listen to my headphones again and blast my eardrums like I did yesterday.
Is this how the Nexus should handle BT and Headphone volumes? Is there any kind of fix for this?
Thanks in advance
Hi All,
Anyone else had issue with in car Bluetooth? Mine keeps dipping the audio (music sounds thin and quieter) then it comes back and will dip again. Im using Spotify and this is the same on Stock or Custom rom

Does it happen with audio apps other than Spotify?
I experience this daily.
I find it occurs when I receive a notification of some sort and notifications are set to vibrate so I dont actually hear the buzzer over my car speakers.
Odd behavior.
Sometimes but not since Jan update if memory serves the muted notification will not give the audio back to AndroidAuto.
In which case if I activate Google assistant manually using the button on my touch screen and then cancel the request audio quality is restored.
I don't have anything else to try other than Spotify lol. I did wonder if it could be on the Spotify side? Doesn't happen over the pixel earbuds tho
My Pixel 3 XL does this whenever I receive a notification while connected to my truck stereo via Bluetooth. No audible notification just the dip in music that's playing like the OP describes.
