Hi,
I prefer Theater Mode for watching Videos with MXplayer and Music Mode for listening Music with PowerAmp.
As I really detest the Boomsound Notification I've disabled it with GravityBox.
But even with enabled Notification its a hassle to always press it.
So I'm looking for an way to automate Boomsound switching depending on active App, or depending on shown Notification, as MXPlayer and PowerAmp show a Notification and I often Start PowerAmp from homescreen Widget and not open the App.
Anyone knows a way how to solve this ?
Tasker...Never used the app, but sounds like something it could do.
I could also be wrong though.

Yeah, it sounds like something Tasker COULD do. But as Boomsound is a specific HTC Setting im not sure if it there is a command for that.
Haven't really used Tasker for a while now.

I discovered - by accident - that if you long-press the volume down button with the phone asleep, it starts the default audio player. This is actually a little annoying as I've managed to start it several times without meaning to, and I don't use the default music player anyway.
Is there any way to disable it? I've searched but to no avail. I can see how it might be useful, but I'd like the option to choose whether it does it or not.
I'm running ARHD.
U can disable it:
Manage Apps -> All Apps -> Tip Music & Music Optimizing & Music Widget -> Tip Stop & Disable
Thanks for your reply forsaked, but that hasn't solved it...

Have you got installed the leedroid tweaks. It was an option in that. You can disable or remap the volume down button to previous track as well.

Wondering, cause i solved it that way!
And u disabled all 3 Applications?
I had same problem on Leedroid.
I had a tweak enabled that i didn't need.
Leedroid Tweaks -> Lockscreen -> Media Control and untick it
FTR, I'm on ARHD 5.1.1...
The only way to stop it was to completely disable the built-in Music app. I searched through the app for options, but there was nowhere to disable anything to do with the lock-screen media control. The number of times I've had music randomly start on my was unreal it was annoying.
I usually use ³ for music on my phone anyway, but the Music app had a nice feature where I could play music stored on my phone via my PC over WiFi. I guess if I want to do that, I can always re-enable the Music app. Seems strange there's no way to turn it off.
Just discovered this thread. This is one really annoying behavior. Has anyone by now discovered another way to disable this?
Disabling the music app is working, but it also disables support for Beats Audio.
I have the music app disabled but it hasn't stopped Beats Audio working:
Uhm, okay, now it's working here as well... Don't know what I did when the beats icon suddenly disappeared. :S

I purchased this app and would like to use it as my main player, but it's sitting on the back burner because it doesn't fade out when I receive GPS directions or switching to another music app like DigitallyImported. I tried going through the settings and searching online, but no luck.
Please help
Well depends on what Google Maps or Navigation app you are using. I am going to give you advice based on the Google default Map and Navigation apps. So under PowerAmp you hit the settings menu and go to Audio, Audio Focus, and then make sure that you have the Short Audio Focus Change and Permanent Audio Focus Change checked. I have not had an issue with audio fading out for directions when using these settings and the Google Map and Navigation apps. The only app that has caused me issues with PowerAmp not stopping audio is the iHeartRadio app which, for some reason does not pause PowerAmp and, instead plays both audio streams ontop of each other until I manually pause one.
Thank you! Looks like my issue is that I'm still running v1.xx so audiofocus was not available in the menu. I'll have to update
Is there a poweramp setting to silence notifications when it is playing? I'm thinking that there is but I can't find it.
Anyone?

Hi,
First things first. I'm running JB touchwiz and rooted.
here's my system info if you need it. http://imgur.com/YQ2rILN.png
So, here's my problem. I am using two different players (technically 3 if you count pandora which I don't use very much) - PowerAmp (paid) and Google Play Music. The reason I have 2 players is because I have way more music than I can store on my phone which is where google play is nice, but I also like listening to FLAC files -google play only plays up to 320 - I also like having music on the device in case I lose 4g signal, and I like poweramp's interface much better. Because I'm using two players, they often compete for which one plays. I use my phone to stream music to my car stereo and alarm clock via bluetooth, and when I connect it to either device OR to my headphones via wired connection, poweramp overrides google play and starts playing whatever I listened to last, even if I killed the program previously or was listening to google music last. Basically, when I connect anything, it defaults to poweramp and not Google play regardless of which I was listening to. I want this the other way around, since I use google play much more often since I have so much more music on it. It's endlessly frustrating.
Now for the question - Is there a way to reverse this, so that when I connect my headphones or stereo it will default to playing from google music and not poweramp? Or, even better, is there a way to integrate google music's streaming ability in to poweramp somehow?
Oh, one last thing. I am wondering if there is a way to make PowerAmp and Google Music show on the touchwiz lock screen, with controls? Currently neither do, even though I have the option enabled in PowerAmp.
Thanks! :laugh:
I haven't used TouchWiz in a long time, but I know with AOSP, there is an option regarding what the phone does when a headset is connected. It's at System settings > Sound > Launch music app for AOSP users.
Seems like you could fix it there. Before this option became available, I was using Tasker to accomplish the same thing.

There doesn't seem to be any such option in that area. I did just think of something, Is there a way to replace the lock screen that doesn't suck? i like stock aosp lock screen better than touchwiz, I just like touchwiz for the guestures and shortcuts and such.
Use tasker
In power amp there is a setting to turn off the auto play when connected.

I can't help with your priority question, but I can tell you that with TW, you lose lockscreen music control ability. I know it's dumb, but it is what it is.

Hey that sounds like a very good idea. I just need to learn to use Tasker. Please feel free to elaborate.
I'm having this same problem. I have a Verizon S3, and have a tasker profile set up so that when I connect my phone to a power source it will automatically turn on bluetooth, connect to my car, launch google play, and start playing the last played song.
The problem is it launches Play Music, but starts playing Poweramp. Play music is what's on my screen, but when I swipe the notifications down PowerAmp is playing the music. I've checked everything and it should be set up correctly, but this still happens.
Any Ideas?

Have you checked the headset settings in poweramp to make sure no auto resumes are selected?

Yeah, Checked and removed the selections for that. And nothing in the Tasker profile is connected to Poweramp, yet it continually plays music from it...

What about respond to headset controls? Poweramp resumes playing on my car when I connect it to Bluetooth if I have that option enabled too

I've only had the watch for a day now, but it's pretty cool so far! But I was listening to music this morning through a streaming app (Music Unlimited), and when I started I saw the notification pop up at the bottom of the screen letting me know the track name - cool. A couple minutes later after changing absolutely nothing, the notification card changed to the track name and a play button. This new notification also allowed me to swipe left to see the full music control card (forward, back, volume up and down) which was super awesome! Sadly I swiped right on the card and dismissed it by accident, and it never came back... I restarted the phone, the watch, and the app a few times but nothing changed (I only see the notification with no play button).
Now I know that maybe the music control card should only work for the stock music player at this early stage, but it's pretty frustrating for it to be there and then suddenly gone for the streaming player. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this happen and if anyone knows how to get it back?
in poweramp I had to enable android lock screen (in poweramp settings) to make the card appear . maybe you've got similar option in this player
Thanks for the idea, but lock screen controls are on by default in this app, and that functionality is still working fine on the phone. Weirder still is that there's also a notification bar on the phone that let's you control the music which you would've thought would transfer to the watch for sure since it gets all notifications...

Ok so I've found out that Wear Music Controller will work for this app even though it isn't listed as supported, lucky! It also lists a pretty compete set of supported music apps so maybe it'll help someone else too. Seems like this will control any music playing on your phone...
I still consider this a very temporary fix though because it's not a very nice looking controller design compared to the built in one I was trying to get back, but I'm glad I found something in the meantime! Looking forward to hearing other people's solutions.
Edit:
WOW, so frustrating and confusing! It just came back for 30sec...it was there, working, then watch went into ambient mode and it was gone again...

I was wondering if it was possible to automatically toggle Boomsound into music mode when I start playing music in a particular app (poweramp). I keep it in theater mode otherwise because I like that better for videos, but when I go to play music, it would be nice not to have to change it manually. I block the persistent notification, so I would have to change it via settings.
I use Tasker and the Autoinput plugin, but I can't figure out how to automate it. Any help is appreciated.
