It seems I'm having a ton of problems lately....
At first I only experienced this in Zombies, Run! but I'm beginning to think it's something else...
Originally, I was out on a walk and had Zombies, Run! going. All of a sudden the music stopped coming out of the earbuds I had on and went out of the speaker when the in app voice announced I had picked up an item. This was the only time I had experienced the issue at first.
Lately I have been playing Angry Birds Star Wars and have had the audio for it turned off... I decided to listen to music. Plugged in my earbuds and went back to playing... When the second song begins playing, the audio switched from my earbuds to my speaker and I can not figure out why.
I've tried googling, and searching on XDA for advise on this issue but I am coming up empty. Has anyone heard of this happening?
EDIT: I should add that after unplugging/ replugging in my earbuds I don't have the problem again... Same for pausing and playing music.. When I do either of those the music goes through my earbuds again. No idea why
Edit again: With the latest Google Play Music app I loaded a playlist without anything else open. Played the song, fast forwarded to close to the end and let it finish.. The next song played over the speaker... This is beyond frustrating..
EDIT Nov-14: After a complete factory restore to an un rooted state, I have not had the problem... I've rooted and flashed a deodexed rom and some tweaks I've had and no problem... After flashing a new feature.xml with a load of tweaks I've started having this happening again. Once in Google Play Music and have not been able to get it to happen again since then, and a few times in Zombies, Run! Not once while in Angry Birds SW though...
Another edit: Now I am getting this bug every single time with each of the mentioned scenarious... The only difference with my ROM is a 4-in-1 reboot mod.... Guess I'll remove some of my mods and see what happens with the audio.. I've tested out an app called SoundAbout as suggested by someone on AndroidCentral.com, but no success.. :\
UPDATE Nov-14: Stock android.policy.jar and feature.xml still producing the issue. Problem does NOT lie with those files.
You know I had this happen last night while I was listening to music in my car. The music just all of a sudden stopped coming through my cars speakers and was coming from the phone. I didn't really have time to see what was going on though. I have my car radio connected to the phone with the 3.5mm line out jack.
We're you using the latest update to Google Play Music? I don't recall having issues like this on the last version or on ICS at all.
Hmmm

I did a complete factory restore.. Wiped everything installed an unrooted jellybean and got my device back to "Normal" state.. So far I have not been able to replicate the issue after rerooting and flashing a deodex'd rom
Okay.... I recently flashed an updated feature.xml with a lot of new tweaks opened up... It occured to me that it could have some sound options that may have caused the problem I am having... So I went back to test if it would happen since I flashed it...
It has... I can get it to happen ONCE... then not again until a reboot..
I was going to check if it really is the feature.xml I'm going to flash a stock copy of it and see how things go, but now I can't get it to happen again... I should be happy about this, but I really want to solve this...
We can't be the only ones who has had this issue before.
Now I am getting this bug every single time with each of the mentioned scenarious... The only difference with my ROM is a 4-in-1 reboot mod.
Factory reset again, "Normal" state for the phone, no root.. Still happening.. I quit.. Going to get a new phone from Sprint.
Flashed CM10 and have not experienced this bug once.. Something must be messed up with touchwiz or something.
I've made some progress with this problem, but nothing that really helps... I've flashed an odex'd copy of LJ7 and I am still having this problem... However if my earphones are plugged in when the phone boots up, I don't have the bug at all... If I unplug and replug them in, then it appears...
I've called Sprint for a replacement device.. I was told they would mail me a new phone and was being transferred to someone in the department who would send it out. That person told me "oh, we can't send you one. You will need to go to the Sprint store who issued you the replacement originally." That Sprint store is 20 miles away.. So I drove out there to just get it taken care of. The guy I spoke to there told me "Oh, we can only give one replacement. You need to call Samsung to get it replaced." Wasted trip...
I called Samsung, and they told me they can not give me a replacement either! But they will allow me to mail my phone to them for repairs. They explained the process and that I would have to pay to ship it. Isn't it nice that I have to pay for a product that is under warranty?
Two Samsung Galaxy S IIIs... Different problems on each.
I'm experiencing the same issue on a stock Rogers SGH-i747M.
Haven't tried using a different audio player yet, but using Google Play Music, every other song plays through the speaker, even when headphones are plugged in. Is extremely annoying when on the train commuting to and from work.
As far as I can tell, the problem started when I updated to Jelly Bean a couple of weeks ago.
Anyone have any ideas?
Tons of folks are having this issue and most seem to center around the new google play app that came down.
It's not hardware as far as anyone can tell, it's a glitch in the matrix somewhere.
After downgrading Google Music to a previous version (one without those obnoxious instant mixes) I have yet to have the proplem present itself with that app.. However I have had the same problem using Zombies Run! which utilizes Samsung's media player.
I think it's somehow connected to TouchWiz. On CM10 I did not face any of these issues at all. Although that is just my guess for now.

Great, thanks! I'll try to find an old version of Google Play Music to sideload.
If it's a system app for you, just go to the play store and choose uninstall. It will only uninstall the updates and leave the version that came with your device."

100% stock/not rooted/completely fresh VZ GSIII phone that's a week old and am seeing the same exact behavior. So far it has only happened with Google Music. I'll try downgrading as well to see if this persists.

I clean installed the "stable" release of CM10 the other day when it came out. My Bluetooth audio has been horrible since. The volume is really low but worse is that the quality is not good either. For phone calls it's use able but I connect it to my car and play music on it too. Needless to say, it makes the music just awful. I also use it with my Big Jambox in the house and this is awful too. I tried wired connection with the Jambox and it was great so it seems to be only Bluetooth audio. I was on CM10 night lies before flashing the stable one. I have tried clean installing the night lies that came after and still the same problem. One thing I haven't tried is clean installing the night lies before the stable version, like I had before. I just wanted to see if others are having this problem and if there is a fix for it first.
I am having the same problem. Is there a fix for this yet? I've been searching and found something about replacing a line in a .conf file however it was posted in gs2 forum.

I got the same thing going on on mine guys ... Bluetooth messes with the sound , but for some reason its from time to time , like if i reconnect it it will work , when it wants to , I have a great system in my car , and its like if I had no base... which sucks lol!!
Yeah I tried reverting the conf fine and it broke a2dp

I just went back to the Experimental one before they released the stable and of course, the bluetooth audio is back to being good. Haven't flashed any of the nightlies since then. Anyone try the latest nightlies and see if any of them work?
Making a call (to any number... I called my voicemail) then hanging up will fix the quality. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
Hi guys. I'm using a stock unrooted One X. It has been running jelly bean since december but a bug came up since a few weeks ago. When I play a song on the stock music player, it would play for less than 10 seconds then it would fast forward or skip to the next song and the bug would happen all over again. This has gotten to the point where its impossible for me to listen to music without feeling very annoyed. This problem doesn't seem to occur when I play the music through the speaker so I'm guessing Beats Audio is causing this. Just a guess though. Anyway I've tried a bunch of things to solve the problem but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to clear data of music app ?
Yes I did. I also installed Poweramp and the problem happens there too.
The weird thing about this bug is that it doesn't happen every time. I was listening to music for about 2 hours today and everything was fine. But I'm sure it will happen again.

Well, the only thing that's getting in my mind is to make factory reset.
did you try listening to music with beats audio turned off? that may help narrow down the problem...
Maybe someone here could help me my note 2 external speakers just stopped working the other day. I came home from being out the other night tried to play some music and nothing .Speaker phone does not work , cant hear music , cant hear videos nothing. i tried blowing into the Headphone jack and it still has worked my phone recognize that the speakers are there it plays music as if it would be coming out the speakers but there is no sound coming out.
This happend to me once before, You may have already tried but if not this worked for me remove battery and restart.

Lol yes i have tried this many many times still not working
Hey recently picked up another s6, (first one returned back in april or may) and the mic seems to be broken during calls. It works during videos and snapchat clear as day. Is there a separate mic for calls does anyone know? Anyone have this problem? I tried wiping, been on OI1 for a while and this just started happening a few days ago. Today I decided to try and do a fresh wipe, root and ramified with uni hoping the stock rom got corrupt but the problem still exists. Any input would be appreciated!
