Hi all,
Recently updated to official ICS. I like to listen to music on my HTC, and I found a major glitch. Whenever you are playing music (with the stock player), and there is another system sound (ie SMS notification), the entire media volume of the phone dies.
For example, I am listening to music and I receive a SMS. I hear the SMS and the music stops playing. I check the music app and the slider is still moving but there is no sound. After that point there is NO media volume at all! I start a game. No sound. I start a video. No sound. Youtube. No sound. Only way to fix this is restart the phone.
If I'm listening to music and I wanna play a game. I start the game and the game has its own sound. The music stops playing and the game sounds are also now gone. Only way to get any sound back is to restart.
Basically whats happening is if there ANY other non-music sound, it ends up killing the phone's Media volume. Only way to fix is restart.
Anyone else have this problem?

Sounds like a fluke - cause this doesn't really happen to anyone else. Since you're stock, the way to fix most issues is to wipe your data and start from scratch. Most people who have random issues like this do that and it clears up.
Not its not a fluke. I can reproduce it even after a factory reset. It only happens with stock player not another player I downloaded from Play.
Maybe its a problem with the Vodafone ROM.

If you can reproduce the issue with a factory reset then perhaps you could try flashing your RUU and see if the issue persists. I do know that what you're describing is NOT a wide spread problem, and that means it's either isolated to your device or to VODA's build...

I meant fluke as in only happening to you, not only happening once.
Try Grogg's advice. Hell, flash his rom, music player works great in it.
Similar issue here
I'd just like to say I have a similar issue with mine. If i am listening to music and receive an SMS or email notification then the music volume increases to match that of the notification. Pressing either volume up or down then changes it one step from the original volume.
I also have another issue with the default music player. If I am listening to music at work, press pause then remove the headphones (when leaving my desk for a short while) after plugging headphones back in when I press play the sound quality is often seriously distorted. Pressing pause then play again always seems to sort this out...
I've noticed 3 or 4 little bugs with the latest (UK) release on my phone, I keep expecting another update to sort them out but so far nothing...

I have got the same problem. HTC Sensation, stock ICS 4.0.3 (3.33.401.53). Have you found the solution ?
I use a Moto S9 stereo headset. After updating to 4.4.2 it will work fine...until I get a text message. At that point audio stops playing through headset and switches to ext. speaker at a low volume. Phone still shows headset connected to phone and media audio, but volume rocker only controls ringer. Power cycling headset doesn't fix issue, neither does toggling bluetooth. The only way I've found to fix it is to reboot the phone. It's rooted and I have Xposed installed, but I had those on 4.3 without issue. Email and call notifications don't cause any problems. Any ideas?
Someone please tell me there is a way to put a phone into silent, priority, etc. while music is playing. The volume button controls music volume.
Don't tell me Google expects me to unplugg my headset to put my phone on silent!!??
Nexus 5 - Lollipop
Thanks!
i would like to know this as well, had to disable bluetooth to change it...
That's one of the issues why I just downgraded to KitKat. Does anybody have a solution?
when I was streaming music via bluetooth in my car notifications sounds would play over the speakers in my car loudly. When it did this the music volume would drop and the tone would play. Since updating to marshmallow the notification sounds while streaming music via bluetooth are barely audible over the speakers in my car. The volume for ringtone, media, notifications and system are all turned all the way up.
If I get a phone call the music is lowered and only the phone rings instead of the ring coming through the car speakers.
Anyone else notice this or have any idea how to fix this? I've already tried toggling Bluetooth, unpairing and repairing, clearing Bluetooth cache and clearing system cache. I have also done a factory reset after the initial upgrade to 6.0.1
It does this on auxiliary now as well. I have not found a fix.
Hey
Recently brought a xtrons head unit
Seems to work fine but there is a strange issue
The volume on the radio is very loud and have to only have it at a quarter at most but in any other app (tried bt music and Spotify) the volume is very low and I have to have it at its highest to get anything usable out of it.
Can't see anything in the settings for it. Has anyone encountered anything like this?
Cheers
Try first and go to the factory settings. On the first page I mean you find the volume settings for radio, system, Bluetooth and something else. Take a look that every entry are close together.
In my case the voice for navigation was to noisy. I've set the system volume up and it was fine.
