FYI - I use the headphones a lot and was having the problem with my S3 on Liquid Smooth RC5 Notifications were playing through both speaker and headphones when headphones are plugged in. I read somewhere to install Market App SoundAbout and it has fixed my problem. I can actually hear a text message come in while wearing my headphones while i am running my everyday 5 mile run.

I bought some JVC headphones that are high quality and the sound is really clear after a while i notice when i plug them in my Sensation the sound is terrible it sounds like a pair of 5 dollar headphones with no bass, it was working fine what gives?
Wait... So you were using the headphones in Sensation fine for some time, but then this suddenly happened? Try them in another device to see if it's a problem with headphones. You can also turn on SRS/Equalizer in Music settings.
Did the sound get worse after answering a call and going back to the music app? Does the problem get fixed when you reboot the phone? If so, disconnect the headphone, play music through the speaker and connect the headphone back while the music is playing. It should get fixed. If you have a headset, while listening to music, you can press the main button twice (as to redial a call) and then immediately cancel the call. It should give you back the good sound.
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

Just recently bought a Bluetooth Headset for my Motorcycle Helmet, I'm on ICS right now, SCV7. The problem I'm finding is that no matter which voice commands app I use (Vlingo, utter, Skyvi, Voice Search) I can't seem to get it to use the headset's mic to listen to me!
But whenever I take a call the microphone works just fine. When I go into the headset's bluetooth settings it is connected as both phone and media. I've tried both by themselves but didn't get a change. Phone calls work and music plays, but voice commands just don't.
Anyone have similar issues? Any ideas?
Would this be a hardware issue with the headset? Hardware with the phone? Or Software?
On a side note: Noticed that music effects have been really buggy with the headset.. MusicFX and DSPManager go crazy, make it sound worse than without them, like the speaker is about to explode from all the static. (Tried all Loudness levels, switching songs, and tried all equalizer settings but I can't pin it down, sometimes it'll be exploding ear-screeching sounds but when I open DSPManager it's as if it finally clicks and makes the equalizer work again.. goes away next song)
Whenever I listed to Spotify using headphones or connecting it to Aux using headphones it pauses the music when a notification is received such as sms or whatsapp message. It plays the notification sound and then it continues the music again.
I am coming from HTC m8, and there under the same scenario it faded the music played the notification meanwhile and volume went back again.
This only occurs when headphones are plugged in. If a notification is received while playing through phone speakers it fades the sound the way it should do.
I am using Spotify as source.
I've read that some has disabled notification sounds completely while headphones are plugged in but that would make me miss any important texts/emails so the work-around is not appreciated in my case.
Another thing noted is that when headphones are used and a notification is played (such as sms received or whatsapp message) the phone plays the sound through it's internal speakers also, same time as my headphones are connected making the surrounding hear me receiving notifications all the time.
Is there any solution to the above two issues?
My Samsung S6 is rooted, and I am also running custom rom XtreStoLite 2.1 (5.1.1).
My Samsung galaxy note 3 shows earphones plugged in when I am in a call even when it is not and there is no problem in the jack because other music players plays music from external speakers and also during calls the voice comes from speakers but only it shows that earphones are plugged in when I use the buttons reduce noise or increase volume. I recently used bold beast recorder and I think it is the main cause of the problem because it is happening only in the calling app and because of this proximity sensor is not working as the phone thinks that earphones are connected. Please help me. It cures after a restart but happens again after sometimes. I have uninstalled bold beast still no hope.
Factory restore might help
