[Q] Music playback skips whenever i receive notifications - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

No matter what, if notification sound is enabled, while I'm playing music through the headphone jack whenever I receive a message the music skips and the notification plays over the on-board speaker along with a small blip of the audio playing. Its extremely annoying.
Even when using PowerAmp, an app with settings that keeps the music from stopping when a notification is played can't keep the audio from re-routing to the on-board speaker for the duration of the sound.
Whats going on, and how can I attempt to fix this.

[Q] Sound Notifications not taking away audio

I use my phone for movies and music output to my tv. Is there a way to stop notifications from switching sound to them and stopping my audio for a little bit.

[Q] Gingerbread: Poor Audio quality thru earphones problem after call

Been using htc sensation for a week or so.
While playing an mp3 using either the stock htc sense audio player or doubletwist, a call comes through. I answer the call. The audio pauses. I hang up the call. The audio resumes but soulds mono and muffled like a very bad quality mp3 rip. This not just for the audio from the mediaplayers, it is all alerts/ notifications.
Anyone have any experience/ resolution with this issue?
Corrupt audio drivers? Faulty unit?
I have the exact same problem. I hope someone can answer this. I found a workaround for that, but it's not elegant. When I notice that the sound in my music player is "mono"-like, I disconnect the headset, play my song over the speaker and then connect the headset again. That fixed the sound quality for me.
BTW, I couldn't find a way to reboot my music player either (which I think would have solved the problem too). Stopping the running/cached process for the music player doesn't work either. The music player continues playing.
Hope this helps a bit while someone fixes our problem in a more elegant way.

I highly doubt its corrupt audio drivers. I tried duplicating your problem, but it didn't happen for me, my apologies. Would a simpler fix of just pausing the song, disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones fix the problem?

The solution of playing the audio over the speaker then reconnecting the headphones worked. Thanks tnimoruen.
You have to unplug the headphones from the 3.5mm jack then play the audio over the speaker though. simply pausing the audio while the headphones are still plugged in & resuming playback will not fix it.
Not elegant but more "economical" than having to restart the device after every phone call.
glad I could help
I found a more elegant solution While listening to music, press the middle button in your headset twice (as to redial a call) and immediately hang up the call. That should fix the sound without having to disconnect the headset and play music through the speaker.

Notifications pause music when using Spotify

How do I stop the music from pausing when a notification comes in?
I don't want to mute notifications. With my HTC Evo, it would reduce the volume on the music, but keep playing it.
Is there a system setting for this?

When you listen to music just put your phone on vibrate, you still feel the notification but it doesn't mute the music. I use Spotify so I know this works.

Thanks for the tip. This will work when I'm using it at work. But at home, I have my surround sound system connected to the phone via bluetooth. So I have Spotify playing on the surround speakers and it's annoying for it to interrupt the music - but I still need to hear the notification when I'm in another room.
Any ideas?
I have never used spotify, but this may work. If you have tasker, you can probably make a profile for when you connect to your bluetooth, and make a task which will put your phone on vibrate, but allow you to create a custom notification sound play using a different audio stream (like alarm or media) Some of choices for audio stream should allow you to hear the notification without it pausing spotify.

Thanks. Wish I could try it out before buying. There's no other way?
Late to the party here. Wtf is with the last post date? 1970? Anyways.. *edit, now the date displays correctly. ****in' tapatalk!
Have you tried an app called "sound about" in the play store? Check it out and see if it does what you need.

Playing music on Bluetooth speaker

Is there a way that when you're playing music through a Bluetooth speaker that the notifications don't interrupt the music, apart from setting the phone to DO NOT DISTURB?

Bluetooth device should have 2 options available: Media Audio and Call Audio, disabling Call Audio for that specific BT device.

Yes I did that, but notification sounds still come through the Bluetooth speaker, what is the separate sounds feature suppose to do?
Putting the phone on vibrate works. My phone for the most part stays on vibrate all the time and notifications never interrupt.

Question FYT31 Only radio app have sound

I have Iying uis7862 (FYT31) unit
I have sound only from audio app or aux.
Other apps YT, Spotify etc getting mute after 2 seconds and on max volume I can hear a little bit that music is still playing but really quiet.
Anyone know the solution?
In the Settings, you can configure the different media channels (I don't mean the Equalizer).
Did you already check that?
The only thing is that I can configure media like usb or iPod which doesn't change anything
Silly question but have you opened any of there other OEM audio apps? It seems like they are stealing the audio focus back somehow
Yeah. I've been checking all apps and only aux and radio got sound. OEM music app goes mute after 2 seconds
