I'm not exactly sure where this problem stems from, but to reproduce, here are the steps:
1. Plug in headphones & Phone to silent/vibrate (doesn't matter which is done first)
2. Use headphone button to control PowerAMP.
After doing anything with the headphone button, it seems to make my phone get off silent/vibrate mode and go back to normal. It doesn't seem to be happening in video apps. I don't have any other music player apps to test this with.
Can anyone else try and reproduce this? I'm running the 9/6 build.

Howdy all,
The other day my other halfs' Wildfires' speaker decided to stop working for no reason. Can still make phonecalls etc, and the headphones work, but its like its stuck on silent all the time!
Read somewhere it could be to do with a recently installed app, so factory reset it but no change. Also saw it could be something to do with something in the headphone socket not clicking back properly when they are removed, but she's never used the headphones, but tried that anyway, still with no luck.
Never been flashed or anything, totally standard.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Tarq

Perhaps it is me, but what do you mean by this?
1. You cannot go out of silent mode in terms of "set phone volume to vibrate or noice" by using the volume buttons. In that case:
- make sure that your volume buttons work (by using them to regulate audio of, for example, your radio).
- try if you can solve the problem by going into "options of your phone - sound".
If they do not work, try to flash a ruu. If still not solved, I'm afraid you should open your phone to see if the connectors of the volume buttons are still in place (i've had this with my previous phone). But perhaps wait for other advice before doing so
2. You can get out of the silent ringer mode, but still the phone doesnt make any noice. My best guess then is that it related to software in the system folder which controls your device at the system level, or perhaps with the kernel?
I do not know if the the systemfolder is restored when you do a factory reset..
It couldn't do harm if you flash a ruu in my opinion. The all software related issues are ruled out then.
It can't be the hardware as you can still hear people talking to you while phoning without headset. Nor can it be a messed up jack-in, as all the sound should be transfered to the headphone, and it shouldn't be possible to call and here people without headset.
To summerize: I think it is still software, and that it should be possible to solve it by flashing a kernel or restoring bynusing a RUU.

So, I used wotanserver to flash r800a to my xperia play r800at, and for some reason my phone does the single vibrate, freeeeeeeeeeeze, then triple vibrate thing when I'm playing music. Here's how I replicated the situation
1) open stock music player from widget.
2) start playing song with earbuds in.
3) push power button to lock screen
4) push volume up to turn up volume, and there is a very quick vibration
5) music stutters, lags, sometimes completely freezes until the 3 vibrations which signify that something was force closed.
6) depression that my phone doesn't like having its volume changed.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any advice? I also use poweramp, but I haven't tried it on this phone because I really like the stock SE music player app.
Any help will be appreciated!
---EDIT---
The music continues to play after this sequence of events, so it's not a MAJOR issue, but it's still pretty frustrating.
I keep my Bluetooth radio running all the time. No problem there. But whenever I'm in vibrate mode (or silent mode) and then turn on my Bluetooth earpiece (Motorola Elite Flip, if it matters), my phone reverts to normal mode, which I don't want.
This is new behavior: before, the silent/vibrate/normal mode would just stay unchanged, just as I wanted. I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting: removing certain apps, rebooting, retesting, checking ROM- and kernel-specific forums, etc. No clues or suggestions so far.
The only thing I've found to make a difference: if I go into the Bluetooth pairing for this earpiece and deselect the phone audio profile, then this problem goes away. (The earpiece has two profiles: phone audio and media audio.) But that does me no good, as I use this earpiece for most of my phone calls.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any solution? Any workaround?
I have the GSM version of the GNex. I'm running Android 4.1.2 with MiNCO 5 and Franco kernel 300.
Thanks.
I rarely make calls in my car, so I do not know if this was much of an issue on my older head unit*, or if it was a symptom prior to root.
I have a new unit from Pumpkin - MTC8-KLD6-V2.81
Rooted with Malaysk's latest ROM
My phone (HTC M8) is connected through bluetooth. Music plays just fine through the system.
When I make a call, however;
1) Music Stops and head unit goes silent (not a problem)
2) I hear a bit of static (I have had low volume static since I upgraded to Malaysk if the head unit is on and nothing is playing)(again, not really a problem)
3) Phone starts to make a call.
4) Static suddenly goes away, as if the volume was suddenly turned down
5) I can barely hear the phone ring through the head unit.
I have tried turning up the volume all the way on the phone (volume on the phone seems to do nothing when in a bluetooth call) and turning up the head unit. If I have the head unit all the way up, I CAN hear reasonably well, but that's at a volume of 30 when everything else plays loud enough at 5.
I have looked for different setting on the phone and on the head unit and have found nothing. I have adjusted the Factory Settings -> Audio, but that changes bluetooth as a whole and make the music play too loud.
I would say that the issue is is similar to switching the phone from "regular" (where 1-10 is set for being near one's ear) to "speaker" (where 1-10 can be heard across the room) and the phone is telling the head unit to stay at "regular".
Actually, on my first head unit the problem was just the opposite and phone calls were always way too loud.
Anyone have ideas on other settings I should try?
Thanks
I think there are options in the factory settings are for individual volume controls.

There are, but the option is for "Bluetooth" in general.
Bluetooth itself is fine, and I can listen to music from my phone through Bluetooth at whatever level I choose. The problem is that when it switches to phone (dialing out or coming in) the volume drops drastically and I have to turn the head unit's volume up all the way to hear at all. That means the music from Bluetooth will come back at speaker (or at least ear) damaging levels once the call ends.
If adjusting the BT volume is not enough, test with others volume settings lowering/raising some of them.
the norm is the hands free on these units are not the best and there are some mods out there on the forum..
After restoring to stock from LineageOS, my device has no notification sounds. All that is heard is a static 'tick' noise (like when turning certain speakers on or off). Phone call ringing and alarms still work
Install base OTA NOUGAT???

Try flashing arise. Even without turning Dolby or viper on, will fix the silent notification bug.
Hey, I have the same problem, seems to have something to do with the audiofocus.
I don't even get notification sounds when I plug in my headphones.
The ony way I get the sound is, when the speaker or the headphones are in use by some other audio application, like the music player.
If someone has an solution please reply, I am open to test those.
Thanks!
Sound is back
I want to report a succes, after trying to update my mzp via ota the sound came back and the weriedest thing is, that the update even failed.
After the reboot I heard a "pling" and couldnt believe it so i tryed it out and it works. (after playing around I sideloaded the ota and it still works)
I hope this information helps to find a fix or helps tracking down the bug.
If the above solution doesn't work
Flash this Arise zip through TWRP!
It will bring back sound notifications!
But still before that i advise to take a nandroid backup!
Here is the link to the zip file!
