I have a sgh i747m rooted running 4.3. My problem started before the update to 4.3. When ever I turn on my Bluetooth to connect with my pioneer radio in my truck it seems to lower my notification volume, in fact all volumes are affected. Even after I disconnect the Bluetooth it still keeps the volume low. The only way to get the volume back to normal is to reboot the phone. It's becoming a pita. I don't want to reboot my phone every time I get out of my truck. I thought that by updating to 4.3 would have fixed the problem but it didn't. I uninstalled several apps I thought were the culprit but no luck. I thought it was Tasker because I use it to turn of my Bluetooth when I leave my truck. But I uninstalled Tasker and secure settings and I still had the problem. That's when I noticed it was happening only when I used Bluetooth that it screws up my sound volume. I hope someone can help me out and figure out what is causing this annoyance.
Thanks.

OK. I have narrowed it down a little more. I can turn on Bluetooth and it does not affect my volumes. But as soon as it connects to my radio in my truck it lowers all the volumes and only a reboot can put the volume back to the way they were. Any help would be appreciated as its driving me crazy.

you can try a 3rd party app, like bluetooth volume and see if that patches it
OK Thanks I'll try it.

Well i have tried that and i still have the problem. If i connect to any Bluetooth device it lowers all my volumes by about 3/4 and puts all the volume sliders to the max position. I have gone through several apps to see if they have Bluetooth settings and found nothing. I have power amp installed and checked it settings and found nothing, I even uninstalled it and it did not help.
I deleted all my Bluetooth profiles in my phone and in my Pioneer radio and reconnected it and that did not work. I'm at a loss.:crying: There has to be a setting or an app that's causing this issue as it started before the 4.3 update. I just cant find it.
Any help from the XDA phone gurus would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Volume issues fixed. 100% Working fix.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because the operating system thinks that some application is in call.
And in "Call" mode Volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
And due to this call mode if you try to play music in stock app, you'll get error "Unable to play during call" error.
I get this problem too, and by killing Hangouts or Facebook Messenger the problem resolves.
unable to find some permanent solution
Hit Thanks!, if it helps

Does anyone have this problem? I'm on the latest version of AOKP with Franco Kernal...Everytime I listen to music, it will randomly stop and I would have to press play again. This happens at random times, (seconds, minutes, hours). I'm using Google Music (Play Music). I have tried PowerAMP and other players, but they seem too all do it.
It's kind of bugging me

It could be a bug with Franco's sound hacks he implements in his kernels. Perhaps try using a different kernel?

hmmm...can anyone else confirm this that's also using Franco's Kernal....
I get this on stock. I thought it was related to another piece of software (pocketcasts) that I installed about the same time the problems started. Seem that the first song is played, then it pauses or stops.
Could be a buggy headphone connector (in the phone), where it send a faulty signal telling the system that you have unplugged the headphones. Does it only happen while using headphones?
My connector does that as well, but opposite. When not using headpones it sometimes signals that something has been plugged in, and all audio is routed to the non-existing headphones.
this bug definitively occurs on francoKernel!
Try flashing another kernel (Popcorn for example) and the bug is gone.
Seems to have something to do with the sound limit. If it's too loud it stops automatically. Try reducing the volume to 60% with the hard buttons and you'll see that it stops acting like that.
It's not a Franco's kernel only problem. I have the same issue on Stock 4.0.2 (GSM, unlocked, unrooted).
It is not the headphone connector that is buggy either since i'm experiencing this with bluetooth headset as well (A2DP headset).
The music app is not crashing either since it doesn't require a full "load" when i select the app. Press play again and all is good until next time.
It happens to me on stock as well. With both the music and listen apps. Seems to happen if I'm playing music for a half hour or so without using the phone.

I have noticed this. When i turn down the volume it stops doing it. But when i turn it up to max it will start doing it again

I experience this on google listen on stock 4.0.1. I thought it was a bug with the app losing audio focus. But then they updated and claimed an audio focus fix, yet it still happens. I can force this bug to happen by multitasking moderately. So i truly think this bug is related to the over aggressive memory management on this phone.
Yea I'm using Axi0m and I notice this. I think its an issue with the headphone jack. When I installed power amp, one of the features is to detect connection to the headphones... then the phone started to randomly start and stop playing music completely random.
I updated and it seems to be fixed. Still stops occasionally but at least I can listen for an extended period.

I'm running Lean Kernel and I get this all the time when I have the volume set to MAX on the device itself, I find if I turn it down just a bump then the problem goes away. This may be some type of fail safe for the phone itself. ??? But just turn your vol down one click and you're good to go.
I always had issues playing music with franco.kernel, it did me just like you are talking about. That **** used to drive me crazy! Anyways, no issues with CM10 M2. Also using the built in CM kernel.
yup, had this thing on both stock and codename android. google music app
Just gotta wake up this thread.
I'm having this issue on CM10.2... I had this same thing on stock JB some time ago when I connected to my BT headset..
Is there any fix for this?
Btw.
I don't use any custom kernels and this is not caused by any kernel and I don't think this to be caused by BLE.

I had the same issue and realized I had the volume up too loud with the mods I had installed. Keep the volume below 80% and the problem will disappear.
Possible solution
I used to have this issue as well, where after a certain period of not actually using the phone, the music playback would just pause itself.
I discovered that I had Play music "Greenified" which is basically a hibernating task manager. That was killing the background process of any music players I had open.
Wether or not you have the Greenify app, check for any automatic task killers and get rid of them.. Maybe that will help one of you guys, it sure helped me.
Only had this happen using headphone volume boost... don't use it

I get no bass when streaming music, only what sounds like mid and treble. I tried finding the DSP Manager app, but I'm not able to open it for some reason, unless it's been merged into the settings.
Haven't tried Bluetooth lately so I don't know if the issue was ever fixed but after starting up BT make a call and then hang up when it connects the sound will be normal after that. It was a cm10/aosp issue from long ago...
May or may not be your problem, just thought I would pass that along

This works but I'd rather not have to do it every single time I want to listen to music, especially if I just run into the store real quick then come back out to resume the stream. Right now, I just place a quick call to voicemail then end it, so tha the stream kicks in normally.
Does anyone know if they fixed this bug in any of the 10.0 nightlies after 10.0 stable? I don't much care for 10.1, if it can be avoided.
Weird issue. When I use Google Play Music, the volume is low (and crappy mids and highs are low and bass is really boosted) until I get some sort of notification on my phone and then the volume goes to normal levels. On any other music app, such as Soundcloud, it doesn't experience that problem. I use Google Play Music a lot since I'm subscribe to GPMAA. This didn't happen when we were still on 4.1, only started happening on 4.3. Don't want to do a wipe yet if there is some sort of solution that has already been found. Thanks!
Further info: Full stock and no root
That's funny you say that because the exact opposite happens to me. Sometimes when I'm listening to google play music and I get a notification, the phone gets jacked up super loud and doesn't go back down until after I turn it down manually. Same setup, stock and no root.
But I've done multiple factory resets and this is actually a replacement handset and the same thing happens after I upgraded to 4.3.

Lol my issues are not exactly the same but i have issues. I was running boeffla audio on perseus kernel so I don't know if that's why my audio quality dropped. But my volume lowers randomly also then goes back to normal.

Maybe your super loud is my normal . But yes basically it's the same issue. While on Google Play Music, we both get a low volume until a notification tone comes in then the volume goes up. I was thinking about rooting my phone and installing a kernel that supports Voodoo sound (I had this on my Epic 4G). I've never felt the need to root and run non-stock ROMs since the Note 2 has always been good enough for me in stock form.
I've managed to "trick" my phone by sending an email to myself which triggers the notification tone. But that's kind of nuts to do this on a regular basis. I've been listening to Soundcloud more often now since this issue in Google Play Music is kind of annoying.
This is a subject I've been following on another forum:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/477341-note-4-bluetooth-skipping-audio.html
The issue is having brief audio dropouts while listening to music with Bluetooth earbuds or headphones. In my particular case, I have 1 or 2 dropouts per audio track when listening to music with my JayBird BlueBud earbuds. I don't get this when using wired listening devices. I have tried turning on airplane mode and disabling synching while listening but these didn't make a difference. I should also note that distance from the N4 to the earbuds is only 2 feet or so. But one thing I found that eliminates the dropouts is leaving the screen on - I set timeout to never lower brightness to preserve battery. Not a single dropout occurs when I do this. Anyone else have similar issues?
I also have the same issue with my lg tone pros. I wonder if a fresh factory reset will help???

My phone is new so I'm not sure it would. I've seen posts elsewhere indicating that some users started seeing this when KitKat was installed on their devices, not before. Have you tried what worked for me - leaving the screen on? It would be interesting as a data point.
Another poster over on the forum thread I referenced in my original post tried the "screen left on" workaround and it also seemed to work for him. Odd that the screen being off is somehow causing this Bluetooth glitch.
I'll try it when I get to work tonight seeing how I work third shift and I always play music. Thanks for the tip.

Since more than just me have found the screen left on helping, I posted a bug report on Google:
Issue 95294: Bluetooth streaming audio dropouts when screen is off, Android 4.4.4
When streaming music over Bluetooth, audio dropouts are occurring when the screen is off. If the screen is left on the audio dropouts do not occur. Multiple users are seeing this behavior with the Samsung Note 4 running 4.4.4 (http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/477341-note-4-bluetooth-skipping-audio.html.).
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
There are lots of reports of similar issues using bluetooth over car speakers as well. I have this issue in my car and yet never had any issue with other phones. I've posted in/read threads about bluetooth issues with the Note 4 both here and on Androidcentral.com. It seems to be a common problem.
Got Lollipop installed and it appears this skipping issue is fixed - so far I haven't run into it with the screen off though I haven't run a very long time yet. Can anyone else check this out?
My Bluetooth car radio just started the audio drop out after the lollipop update.
Stock and not rooted.
Hi,
I have my OP3 for 2 weeks, but there is something strange, the phone is opening the music player in the notification without reasons, sometimes when I'm scrolling across an app or while I lock the phone. At least 2/3 times per days !
But it doesn't launch the music, it just open the music player in the notification.
I'm using full STOCK phone, I disabled the next/previous music gestures, didn't changed anything !
If someone could help me for that it would be nice ! Is it a know software issue ? Maybe I would have a hardware issue ?
Thanks !
This won't be much help but sometimes PowerAmp did that too on CM13 for absolutely no reason, with BT off, so it wouldn't have connected to the car stereo. Wish I could figure out why

I have been having the same problem for a long time and I have always been on OxygenOS(currently running the Open Beta 7). I always thought it was a problem with Saavn but I didn't look for an alternative or a solution since I had paid for its pro service. This now seems to be a general problem...

Edit: Never mind, somehow I missed that you already tried this, sorry.
Disable the "Music control" from Settings->Gestures and see if that helps. I had the music player opening a couple of times when leaving locked phone on the table, I guess my fingers touched the screen and phone thought I was drawing the music control gestures

Still happning on the Beta 7 ?
How is it possible ? It's not software solvable ?
Because if it's a hardware issue that I couldn't fix then I would like to know it and maybe push back the phone before the end of my 15 days return.
I had a similar issue where Google music would start by itself, even with gestures disabled. I uninstalled gm updates, cleared all cache, reinstalled gm. So far so good. However, just today another perhaps unrelated problem: music is routed through external speakers while listening over the same wired headphones. I made sure plugged in all the way, it only worked by removing and reinserting them.

I already disabled gestures, didn't changed anything. This morning when I woke up the music player was again in the notification, whereas I didn't touched the phone during all the night. And this happen even when I'm using the phone.
