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?
Running stock ICS 4.0.3 Vodafone Australia ROM.
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'm getting pretty tired of this and figured I'd ask if others have the same problem.
My NS keeps losing playback position (either just the timer or that the track is playing at all) with Google Play Music and Vanilla Music Player.
I never had this problem on GB, but it happens with every ICS ROM I've tried (BuglessBeast, CyanogenMod, AOKP).
Anyone?
Hello everyone I'm having trouble recording videos with working sound on it.
What happens is I record the video, the video comes out fine when played back but there's little to no sound on it.
Some videos actually have sound to it but it's really really quiet and it usually starts off with a small pop!
I couldn't find the Camera shutter on/off switch anywhere on this ROM so i'm coming here for help.
Hey all,
My girlfriend dropped her LG Nitro HD in the toilet this morning. We immediately did the whole rice thing for a couple hours and now her phone's in mostly working order, save for a small audio issue. When playing music or video, the audio won't play back out of the speakers, even with volume maxed. No sound at all (though the audio does work with headphones plugged). However, all incoming calls, SMS, etc. will have the appropriate audio playback working just fine out of the speakers.
I'm thinking there was damage to some part of the phone which is causing this error, but I don't see what. I can't imagine why we'd get audio from notifications but not music or video. Is there something I can do to try and fix this?
Thanks!

This has happened to me when streaming music to the cars head unit. Basically on an incoming call, the music keeps playing simultaneously with the ring tone and then if you answer the call, music is still going. Hitting pause on the app or even recent task killing it, doesn't stop the music. Only solution is to let call ring out, then stop music and ring the person back.
I am currently using Omni latest nightly but it is not a unique ROM issue as I have had it happen on the stock Nexus 5 ROM (rooted with just Gravity Box Xposed module). It is also not a unique app issue as both Spotify and Pocketcasts have done it. It didn't happen on pre 4.4.4 ROM's or other handsets so I'm thinking it might be a generic issue with this version of Android.
Curious to see if anyone else has had this problem.
I attend calls via my car's music system almost daily when I'm stranded in traffic. No issues here. The song pauses when an incoming call comes and resumes when I end the call.
This is certainly an issue at your end. Since you've already tried changing music players, I think it's time to switch to another rom/kernel and see if it works?
I'm on latest AICP with ElementalX and have no issues with BT.
Couldn't fail Spotify in my testing again, only Pocketcasts. Not sure if it came in an update or I enabled it by mistake but it had an option to keep playing music over notifications and system tones which seems to have been causing the conflict.
