Ok say my previous phones were both Nexus devices, when I listen to music and sound is on it would lower the music volume and play the notification sound. Now on my Galaxy S3 when it comes in it completely cuts out and this is VERY annoying for an avid music listener. Is there a way to fix this?
I've seen online I can use power AMP and I will be good but I would like to use the Samsung Music Player.
I also know I can set it to vibrate to stop the sound from going off but the thing is, I like hearing the sound I just hate it completely cutting out the music. Any ideas would be useful!

I just received my Epic 4G Touch on Friday, and I'm experiencing an issue where notification sounds will always be played through the phone speaker even though I have headphones plugged in. I am using the stock ROM, and this behavior is happening rooted or unrooted (I just rooted this morning).
Here are the different scenarios where I always have this happen now.
- Listening to a podcast through Pocketcasts with my phone directly connected to my car stereo system via headphone jack. Podcast is playing through the car speakers just fine. I will receive a gtalk chat, and the podcast is silenced briefly to play the notification sound, however the notification sound will be played from the phone speaker.
- Listening to music through the Google Music app with headphones at the gym. I'll be using the C25K app to send a verbal notification for when to run or walk. It plays through the phone speaker and alerts the whole gym. =\
- And then I just tested it right now. With literally NOTHING playing in the background but with a pair of headphones plugged in. I sent myself a gtalk message from an alternate account, and it plays the gtalk notification sound through the phone speaker.
I upgraded from an HTC EVO 4G, so this is obviously bizarre behavior and not a problem I experienced with my previous phone. It worked properly.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Not sure what is kosher behavior here on the forums, but since this thread hadn't gotten a response yet and had fallen to the second page, I just wanted to give it a little bump back up.
Hopefully others can at least confirm whether or not they are also experiencing this problem.
I actually used to experience this with my Epic 4G
and I literally just tested it (the way you did, with just the headphones in) on my ET4G and yup, I get the same thing
Also, on my Epic 4G, my music would stop playing if 1. my ringer volume was NOT on silent/vibrate and 2. when I got a notification
so I'm more than sure my ET4G does it as well
I have not utilized the new voice features on the ET4G, so I can't comment on that
I don't know if this is a flawed or purposed design, but you are not alone, lol
*I don't know if there are any fixes for it. only thing I could imagine would be some kind of custom rom
has there been any fix for this?
Music + Headphone + Notification = Angry Coworkers
I need to bump this question up (instead of reposting the question). This has annoyed me for a while, but today I was blasting my music with my headphones on, then suddenly I got a meeting reminder. Playing the notification over the speakerphone is one thing, but when the notification is played via the phone's speaker, it also blasts my music via the phone speaker throughout the duration of the notification too!
The only resolution I see for now is to put the phone on silent whenever you want to listen to music via your headset, otherwise if you get a notification, people will get a loud blast of Lenny Kravitz.
Does anyone know if this happens with the more popular custom roms? I'm currently stock. Thanks!
I have this issue also, the silent mode only works sometimes for some reason
Loving my Galaxy Note 2, but I do have a few minor niggles regarding the stock Music Player that I'm hoping someone may be able to help with. I'm on stock firmware btw.
#1 Headphone play button often does not respond if left in pause mode for over a few minutes.
Allow me to explain - I'm at my desk at work listening to music with the stock music program. I get a phone call on my work phone so I click the headset button to pause the music. I finish my call and press the headset button to resume music. No response. Sometimes if I click once, twice or three times more it will start playing again. It's like the phone enters a sleep mode that won't respond straight away.
#2 Music EQ gets lost when something else happens on the phone.
For example, if I unplug my headphones to go for a walk to another part of the office. I return moments later, plug my headphones back in but the EQ is all messed up. Almost sounds like you’re in a tunnel. If I click the EQ button it immediately reverts to the correct EQ setting. This can also be simulated on demand by having music playing, swipe your hand over the screen to take a screenshot (music fades out, there is a camera click sound), then when the music fades back in it has gone into that tunnel EQ sound. Again, clicking the EQ button sorts the issue out.
I have considered moving to a different music program instead. I've tried Google Music (which has it's own bugs like album art disappearing), Winamp etc but for some reason the stock player's EQ settings (custom extended with Bass on 2, and Clarity on 1) make my Sony headphones respond far better than the EQ's in the other programs. And you can put a spot of reverb on the music as well which sounds ace.
No one else has these problems? Does no one use the Note 2 for music listening?

I have had some issues with my Note 2 also. Coming from Htc One XL with beats audio which some people don't like, however I did. Whenever I plug my headphones in the sound quality is just not as good but compared to HTC output sound is so much better.
Ive tried Original settings with phone plus added beats mods, but neither are producing same I quality I had with HTC phone, which is a pain as I do listen to music regularly on my phone. Not sure if makes big difference but thought I'd better mention I'm using in ear phones not headphones.
similar issue here.. sometimes the headset next/pause button works.. sometimes it doenst.. looks like once the phone sleeps it doesnt want to respond .. but response if i wake up ,, which is just stupid.
While playing music on my un-rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII, every time I unlock my phone the music switches from the headphones I have plugged in to the phone's speaker. When I un-plug and re-plug he headphones or pause and play the music, it switches back into the headphones. This issue is very debilitating as I am often listening to music in quiet places and it's embarrassing when my music starts blaring. Thanks for your help.

I have the opposite problem. When I listen to music on my headphones the music switches to the speakers when the phone locks. I guess you never figured this out. I know my problem is due to the lockscreen app "Widget Locker". When I deactivate it the problem goes away. Guess I'll head over to the widget locker thread and poke around. I'm on an S3 as well.
Edit:
I found a cool workaround by using the Tasker app. I made a profile which disables Widget Locker when i plug my headphones in and enables it when i unplug them. Seems to work pretty flawlessly.
Do you have gapless playback??
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
WHY when i listen to Music Whilst Playing Games the volume to my Music goes down??
Its annoying is there way to stop this, i've tried turning down all sounds from game but it still happenes.
please help its annoying.
thanks trimbal.
Probably has something to do with the sound API for the music player. There might be a setting in your music player to not lower the volume when other sounds play over the speaker.
It's meant to be useful like when you're listening to music and a notification or your GPS has an announcement, the music lowers automatically so you can here it.

Try turning off the game music and sound effects. Then close game, start music player and then start game.
thanks for replys
No none of that work...has any1 else had this problem? ?
and any other help.
thanks.
You need to troubleshoot. Try different music players. Pandora, Google play, different music players (loads to choose from).
Do they all do it?

Yeh it works with my dfx player pro...thanks
but its not as loud as built in players .
I get a popping sound when I'm using my headphone amp. It happens when I switch to a different Youtube video or skip forward or back when using the Dish Anywhere App. It also happens when starting a video or switching apps. It doesn't while playing a video, just when you switch to a different video or forwarding a video in certain apps.
It's very annoying because it sort of loud and lowering the volume doesn't lower the popping sound. I watch sports on my tablet via Dish Anywhere app and every time I do a 30sec skip to skip the commercial I get a popping sound. Without the amp, you can hear the pop faintly but it's so low it's not annoying.
If never used an headphone amp, get one. It makes the sound experience awesome. Music sounds great, movies sounds great and you would have no idea how much bass can come out of an earphones. You can feel the bass in your ears like you had subwoofers hooked up. I have a Fiio amp.
btw, I just got my Tab pro 8.4 upgrading from a Nexus 7 2013 for a bigger screen and did not have this problem at all.
Anyone had this problem, if yes, where you able to fix it. I have my sound configured not to make any sounds when touching the screen and tried turning off the system sound.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's the device itself..., I also have terrible sound quality when I connect it to my car via the audio-jack. (CM12 with PowerAMP)
