This is doing my head in, it happens with Both the Jabra BT3030 and the SE MW 600.
When playing music all of a sudden the music starts to judder then stops completely. I will switch of the Bluetooth device and the phone and then start both again and 9 times out of 10 it won't work, then randomly it will. I have tried different music players (Poweramp, the stock one) and still the same. I have A2DP Volume installed and disabled that and other combinations and nothing works, yet I can still receive calls through the BT even when I have no music.
Any ideas what's going on and more importantly a solution would be apprecaited
I'm normally the problem solver type and will Google the crap out of anything before asking for help. This is one of those times where I haven't found a solution.
I have a unrooted Note 2 with stock 4.3. Before the upgrade from 4.1.2, I didn't experience these issues. They're minor issues but enough of an annoyance that I'd like some help.
Issue 1. (this issue began after 4.3) When connecting a headset for music, if I attempt to use the headset buttons to control playback, they ONLY work on the stock Samsung music player. If I try to use them on any other player, they will simply start the music player. I've attempted to disable the stock player and that option is greyed out. OCCASIONALLY the headset controls will work with music player I'm using (Rocket Player) so I'm figuring there HAS to be a way to make it consistent. What am I missing?
Issue 2. When I connect to a Bluetooth speaker, the bluetooth controls only occasionally work in controlling playback. Sometimes when I connect the controls work beautifully, other times, not at all. (this is with the stock music player as the controls only work on that when they do work) This issue only started after a factory reset post upgrading to 4.3
Any ideas?
Hi, so I am experiencing an issue with audio playback on my phone - I never had this problem with my nexus 5. I listen to podcasts a lot with my apple EarPods, I click the button on the headphones to mute however when I press it again to unmute it only works 5% of the time. To unmute I have to press the power button of all things.
Whats the deal with this? As I mentioned it never happened with my previous phone. I tried looking in Pocketcast settings but found nothing.
Hey guys
Just got my OnePlus 3 today. Connected it to my powerbeats wireless headphones and it's chop city. Every button I press cuts off the sound. Tried rebooting the phone. Toggling Bluetooth but nothing works. Anyone else having this issue?
I think the problem is with the Music player app. I face similar problems when I use the native music player.
I switched to Power AMP and now I don't face any problems while using the JBL Xtreme bluetooth speakers with with One + 3
PowerAmp I have the problem where BT skip stops playback. I switched to Player Pro and enabled their launcher which has a BT auto play and button function and all is working fine. I'm sure other players can do as well. I don't use PowerAmp all the time since it's EQ fights with Viper4Android.
So not sure what exactly is the cause but one thing that sometimes will cause all audio to stop working is Google play music. Sometimes when I start playing music (device speakers, not Bluetooth or casted), the audio will stop working in a few seconds as if all volumes have been turned down but they're not. Music playback is still going. Verified that when this happens no other audio works as well.
In some cases the volume slider does nothing when adjusting (slider can be moved but no change in actual volume output level) and playback is still going and then audio is lost.
Playback control buttons in play music become unresponsive and eventual play music not responding message comes up. Closing app doesn't fix and still no audio in other apps or system. Restarting phone doesn't help either really. Only workaround I have found is to cast to Google home, play for a few seconds on there (which does work) and then disconnect and audio on device is functional again. Sometimes cast workaround works without reboot, otherwise the reboot is necessary.
Anyone dealing with this too? Things I should look into for suspect causes? Any help greatly appreciated.
Edit: now when audio stops on device, things become a bit more unresponsive throughout device and eventually the device restarts on own without the play music not responding message. Power off and restart options via power menu are unresponsive at this time too.

Hi Jason, I have the same issue. When I play music, the upper speaker stops emmiting audio and the lower one suddenly lowers its volume (but the audio is at full volume in the UI). the problem is that is random and also affect the phone app. so if this happen and someone call me I cant hear it.
do you resolve it?
let me know,
thanks

I tested in safe mode and verified it was not a hardware fault. I suspected it was something that happened when I was using substratum and applied a theme to Google play music. Factory reset was my only way to resolve.
Same issue here with my Pixel 2. I notice this behaviour after using a Bluetooth speaker, and disconnect from it. Sometime i lost Speaker and Microphone access to the phone. If i connect back to a bluetooth device, audio/mic in the bluetooth device work's fine.
I i reboot the phone, i regain access to speaker and MIC... until the next time i use a bluetooth speaker. I didn't notice this behaviour until last week. I have this pixel 2 phone for 2 month now.
