recently i have been experiencing an audio issue that only seems to be fix itself after a reboot. hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction for further troubleshooting/debugging/resolution.
on occasion i use the headphone jack to listen to pandora. if a call comes in during this time the pandora audio stops (as it should) however, i cannot hear the caller via the earpiece or headphone jack. the only way i can hear them is if i unplug the headphones and turn on the speakerphone. once the call is ended the audio sometimes will resume from the headphone jack, sometimes it will not. the behavior is the same even if manually exit pandora and unplug the headphones. it is also the same if an incoming call does not interrupt the pandora session.
similarly, if i am listening to pandora on the rear speaker and i plug headphones in, i get no audio in the headphones. if i unplug the headphones the audio does not return to the rear speaker.
visually, the headphone icon in the notification bar comes and goes as you would expect at all times. i am running a sprint lovers 2.2 rom. this problem only recently started, and i don't believe i had done anything to cause it like installing new apps or anything of the sort.
can anyone help me out?
- Steps to reproduce the problem.
Plug headset or earphone with mic to the 3.5mm jack and don't play google play music yet.
- What happened.
The audio output of google talk notification sound when receiving message goes to both loudspeaker and headset or earphone with mic simultaneously.
- What you think the correct behavior should be.
The audio output of app's notification sound should only go to headset or earphone if it's plugged in.
This audio output bug can be reproduced on Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro) running stock Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1. The strange thing is, if music player is playing, the audio output is correct, notification sounds go to headset only. I do hope this will be fix on next update 4.2.2 or 5.x. Perhaps there should be a headset option on settings > sounds so that we can choose whether to mute loudspeaker when headset is plugged in just like as in some custom ROMs.
Does anyone here experience the same and care to vote the bug I just reported to AOSP here?
Thanks in advance.
I think this behaviour is very useful and logic. If, for example, you plug in your earphones and forget to remove them from the phone after listening to music, you need to hear the notifications in the loudspeaker. If music is playing, it is considered that the headphones are in your ears, so you don't need the notification sound in the loudspeaker also. It's very useful in my opinion

oh, so it's intentional, my bad.
I like to run using Endomondo Pro and also listen to music. It seems that sound from only one source goes through the headphone and the rest go through the phone speaker. Is this normal? Is there any way to change it? Currently I can either listen to the coaching/interval information through the headphones or listen to music. As soon as the second source starts, the first goes through the phone speaker instead of the headphones. Notifications also seem to always go through the phone speaker not the headphones.
I'm using a pair of apple wired headphones no volume buttons just the ear buds.
When I plug it in and play pandora or songza it seems the music will play through speakers even though headphone is connected. I have to unplug and replug the headphones while the song is playing for the music to switch.
It's not totally consistent but happens frequently. It may be worse when im switching between multiple apps, pandora -> songza. Or if there is a delay between starting songs.
This happens on stock sony and CM11.
Thank
Wondering if there's a secret. It's like everything below 200mhz has been removed, both through headphone jack and bluetooth.
Sound quality for me both on Bluetooth and headphones is great
Sounds good to me
Same here. Good quality in car whether i use my bt adapter or through audio jack.
Using Vanilla Player to play local mp3s sounds good on my headphones. Maybe a little "small" on my BT speaker, but its a small cheap speaker. Haven't noticed poor quality in my car.
I do use bluetooth pretty much exclusively in the car. I have a pair of headphones that sound really good with the phone. Dont use anything else to play music but I do sometimes have problems with the headphone jack when I move the cable around.
The sound quality when connected via cable to my car stereo or headphones seems to be fairly decent, though a bit noisier than the audio I get from my iPhone. I still have the problem of losing audio on calls after disconnecting from the audio jack (I can't hear callers on incoming calls and sometimes callers cannot hear me when I call them) and then having audio not re-routed back to the audio jack the next time I connect. Because this has happened on more than one Fire phone, I just use a cheap Bluetooth USB adapter connected to my stereo which does degrade the audio quality somewhat however.
Do you guys use any sound processing apps at all? I seriously have no bass coming out of my phone. I turn the bass up almost all the way on my car stereo, and in an EQ app for the phone (tried without the app too), and it's still not quite what a normal mp3 playing directly on my car receiver sounds like.
I'm on fire OS, are any of you on cm11?
Also this uses dolby or something doesn't it? I worry that something I've disabled has messed it up, but don't know what it would be.

No sound processing apps for me. I'm usually on Fire OS 4.6.3 rooted with no Google Play services. Now I'm on 4.6.5 unrooted (trying to resolve a GPS issue) and it sounds the same over BT.
Works fine for me too. Hardwired through AUX or with Bluetooth. Headphones/earbuds sound good too. I mainly use Amazon Music player, Google Music, and Pandora.
I've had no problems with BT connection from my Fire OS Fire Phone to my Sony receiver. Bass response is good whether or not I am running "Equalizer FX." I use Equalizer FX because the bass on the car stereo (and my headphones) rolls off below 60Hz.
I have learned from other phones that running the volume at max level can cause clipping and sound degredation.
