I've experienced BT anomalies on many Android phones in the past, but nothing as bad as this.
T-Mobile S4- Streaming Bassdrive.com via XiiaLive Premium/Bluetooth to my 2012 Hyundai SantaFe. Flawless. Good audio quality. Then I get a phone call which I answer (either with the in steering wheel button or on screen button) and I can hear the caller, but they are drowned out by distorted streaming audio. Also the caller can hear this distorted audio. This seemingly continues indefinitely.
I then usually tap the Bluetooth button or the speaker button to switch off. Call ends, and audio resumes perfectly.
Any thoughts on this? Tweak to remedy it? Thanks everyone for the support.

This happened to me once when i received an incoming call while listening to music. the music stopped (seemed that way) but the caller said they could actually hear the music still playing. i haven't been able to replicate it though.
It seems to me on the new android devices that the streaming audio in the background isn't actually "stopped" for some events, and instead is only turned down for others. For instance, using the Google Navigation, instead of stopping Pandoras music like my old phone did, it will now simply turn it down some so you can hear the voice guidance, then turn the music back up. I actually like this feature because you can still hear the music in the background.
I am wondering if there is some kind of bug that is causing this to happen for a Bluetooth call event where the music is being turned down instead of off?

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but when my Note II is set to mute or vibrate, the sound switches back on whenever I single-press the button on the supplied earphones. Is this some bizarre setting somewhere, or is it a known fault, or is it just me?
--update-- When listening to music and I press the button, the sound momentarily comes out of the speaker on the phone itself before pausing & switching to unmuted. Looks like a problem with PowerAmp; doesn't do it with the stock player.
Just got the Note II and am trying to get the phone to ring through a bluetooth media speaker. When I am selecting different ring tones they will play through the bluetooth speaker as well as through the phone, but when the phone actually rings it will only ring on the phone itself. I have searched through various forums and can't find anyone asking the same question. I've also tried looking for an app that will route the audio to the speaker, but no solution yet. Has anyone any ideas please?
Search for Soundabout in the app store. I use it and can route my Bluetooth sound, media and phone, to wherever I want it
sent from somewhere
Thanks for that, I'm trying it but at the moment I can get everything to play through the bt speak, apart from when the phone rings.
Make sure, in the Bluetooth settings for your speakers, that media and phone are connected. I have the phone ringing through my Bluetooth audio
sent from somewhere
My bluetooth speaker settings only have the option to use it for media audio, and not for phone audio. With my bt headset I have the option for both phone and media audio. I'm assuming that the phone ring is coming through as phone audio. The annoying thing is that every other sound will come through on the speaker, key presses etc, and the ring tones when I am setting the volumes, but not when the phone actually rings or when messages come in.
With SoundAbout there is no option for the phone call audio to be sent to an A2DP bt device, so I think I'm stuck there as well.
Is anybody having this problem? When I am playing music over bluetooth to my car stereo or to bluetooth headphones, I can't hear any of my notification sounds.
The music gets quieter for a second or two and if I really pay attention I can just barely make out the sound of the notification. But really the only way I know that I had a notification is that the music volume turns down for a bit.
With Lollipop, everything worked as expected. The volume of the music would turn down and the notification would play loudly. I'm not sure why this change happened.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same issue. I've found that if I turn up the volume DURING the notification the phone suddenly realizes the volume is too low and cranks it up for that one instance.
As per the title, I've been having issues when trying to use voice search when my OP3 is connected to my cars Bluetooth. The head unit has a dedicated button for using voice search, which I quite often use to send text messages whilst driving.
The issue is I simply can't hear it, the volume is too quiet. Even when the car is stationary I can only just hear it. There's no volume control for the app either. Sure, in call volume can be changed and I can hear that no problem, media too. My S6 Edge was perfectly audible (except the initial "bling" noise the app makes to let you know it's listening).
Does anyone know what could be causing this and how I could fix it?
Cheers
Haven't seen this specific issue answered yet - if its a duplicate somewhere a point to the right thread would be appreciated.
For whatever reason over the last couple months, the volume on my pixel 2xl will jump way up (or way down) when on bluetooth either after a call or after using google assistant. It doesn't seem to happen everytime, but just now I was listening to music on my bluetooth headphones at my desk and got a call. I took the call on the headphones by answering the phone and then as soon as I hung up, the volume on the phone shot up to 100% which was not enjoyable.
This also happens when connected to my truck (Ford SYNC) or my running earbuds, and it can also crank the media volume way down (happens frequently in the truck) after a call, at which point I have to manually adjust the volume again. The same activity also happens if I activate google assistant and issue a voice command, but in both cases it is not 100% consistent. It appears like the system is trying to dynamically change the volume for some perceived situation, but it sucks at it.
I also use A2DP app for volume control settings and app launching for all my connections, but I have used that since I got this phone 2 years ago and none of the settings have changed.
Anyone had similar behavior and found a fix? It is really annoying when my music goes so low that I can't even hear it in the truck after a call, and equally annoying when I have headphones on and it cranks the volume up and tries to blow out my eardrums.
