I was hoping someone could help me with a solution to the known issue android has; notification sounds get played through the external speaker when headphones are connected. My ideal behavior is for the external speaker to be completely disabled when headphones are plugged in, and for all sounds to be played exclusively by the headphones.
I always wanted this myself aswell, haven't figured out a way either yet. Not sure if it is possible

I asked this in few other forums, but I was not able to get a response. When I have my wired headsets plugged in, I am still able to hear Ringtone/Notification and possibly other sounds coming out of the speaker. Is this the default behavior that is happening not just to my phone? If so, how do I change it?

I think this is the default behavior. If you put your phone onto silent, then can you still hear them through the headphones? If so, that's your answer. That is one of the few things I prefer on the iPhone - the hardware switch for silent. But it's just a mental adjustment to how silent behaves differently on the Android OS.
by silent you mean the button you see when you pull down the notification panel right? This silences all sound and I don't hear anything even from my headphones.
So I'm new to Android and I've had the GS3 for a few weeks now. I'm liking it so far, but I've noticed something about the GS3 that is kind of annoying..
When I have headphones or a 3.5mm cord plugged into the jack music plays through the headphones or car speakers fine. However, things like notifications, incoming call ringtones and even sms text tones all still play through the phone speaker. Even though it quiets the music through the headphones those audio notifications do not come through the headphones.
Is there a way to change this? Seems really silly.

Hi, not familiar with the GS3 but there are a number of Android ROM's but the basics are pretty much standard.
I would suggest playing around the Profile area rather than the Sound settings.
From your home screen Select Menu then Settings, or just Settings from your Apps page, then go to Profiles rather than Sounds, there is a myriad of setting there. Have a play around.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

I know that in CM 10 and 10.1 when a wired headset is plugged in, all of the notifications/ringtone volumes are sent to the headset only (and not played through the phone speaker). Does anyone know how/what needs to be done on other ROMs for them to work the same way? Is it a simple fix? I am currently running Beans 9 and it's sending the notification sounds to the speaker when my headset is plugged in. I've tried SoundAbout app, and that does send them to the headset only, but the sounds play at the 'media' volume level and not levels set for ringtone or notifications, which can be quite startling.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a mod or a setting I might be missing to turn off the external speaker for notifications and ringtones while the headphones are plugged in as this is very annoying and defeats the whole purpose of using headphones. Thanks in advance.
it's been that way since I had my note 2
Hello!
My friend just received his new Samsung S23+ and he has encountered several problems which he told me about, so today I hopped on a call with him so he could show me the issues and they are indeed as he says they are.
Issue #1: When he is calling someone, he can barely hear the other person, the volume is so faint even though all the volume sliders are maxed out. We have not checked the "Absolute Volume" and "Adaptive Volume" setting in the developer options yet. I digged around to see if other people have this problem and could only find this thread https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...call-volume-too-low-on-s23-phone/td-p/7163399 which sounds like the same issue my friend has. Does anyone know how to fix this or is it indeed a hardware fault like the thread seems to suggest?
Issue #2: Whenever my friend plugs in his earbuds (they have no microphone) via a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, the phone's internal microphone just shuts off, resulting in no one being able to hear him in a call or a voice message. Is there a way to not have the phone shut off its microphone automatically when he plugs in his earbuds?
Would be super duper cool is someone could help us with this issue, I checked issue-trackers for the phone, but they did not seem to list any volume issues.
