I've been having an issue with Bluetooth streaming audio on every original development rom I've flashed. I'm currently running Slim-4.2.2 build 5.
The problem is that when I'm listening to music through my bluetooth headphones (LG Tone HBS-700) and an incoming call comes through, the music I'm listening to through my headphones comes blaring out the phone's speaker instead of being paused. This happens only when the phone is in vibrate or silent mode. If I have the phone in ringer mode, then the music will pause and the actual ring tone will play out the phone's speaker as it should.
I use Poweramp for local music and Pandora and Spotify as well. For some reason the problem doesn't show itself when I'm listening to Poweramp; only when I'm listening to Pandora or Spotify. (I haven't tried any other apps).
It's only incoming calls too, notifications don't play out the phone's speaker while in silent/vibrate mode during music playback.
A temporary solution for me is to set my ringtone to "none", but then when I have my phone in ringer mode, I have to remember to manually set the ringtone to the one I want and vice versa. I could use something like tasker to handle that, but I'd prefer to fix the root problem if possible vs. covering it up with a hack.
Has anyone else encountered this and hopefully been able to fix it? I'd really like to leave my phone in vibrate mode at work without the possibility of my music blaring out the phone if I get a phone call.
Not a single person has encountered this issue?

Have you tried an app called Soundabout? It is not just a bluetooth issue even with wired headsets this happens also. You will have to get the paid version for Bluetooth settings.
Yeah, I tried out Soundabout with the pro license. I messed with every setting and I couldn't get it to fix the problem.
I never use wired headphones so I didn't know that was an issue too. I just tried out some wired headphones to see if it behaved the same way and there's actually zero issue with wired headphones in relation to an incoming call on my phone. In silent mode, the audio continues to play out the wired headphones and I see a phone call on my screen.
As it turns out, now setting my ringtone to "None" doesn't work as a temporary solution anymore. Media audio from Pandora and Spotify will reroute to the phone's speaker for an incoming call on silent or vibrate mode. I'm going to try out Slim's weekly build 5.5. If that doesn't work, I'm going to check out a custom kernel. If nothing, I may need to revert back to stock as this is a deal-breaker. I can't have my phone making unnecessary noise in a quiet area in the slim chance I get a phone call.
Any and all solutions are welcome if anyone has any ideas or troubleshooting methods they'd like to suggest. Thanks!
same here on stock
i am getting the same thing and running a stock Droid Razr android v. 4.1.2
very f'n annoying when i get calls at work and i got jams playing and all the sudden just blares out the phone speakers.

Has this been solved yet?
Having the same issue with LG Tone+ using PlayerPro with local music. I don't know if it makes a difference (I guess I could test it), but I use last.fm to scrobble all music live.

my old HTC Aria would send all sounds, even notifications, through my bluetooth speakerphone adapter for the car. So, I could be listening to music, and hear my email notification tone, then the music would play again. I was using CM7.1 on the Aria.
So far, the Skyrocket does not do this no matter which ROM I've used. I will be listening to music through car speakers, then hear the phone speaker play my email notification, then my car speakers play music again. It's a bit odd. I haven't used CM on it, because it doesn't appear to be a "daily driver"...
Any word on if the thing will do it, or how to make it happen?
I'm fairly sure all my ROM's have done this. My stereo is a JVC.
One ROM and I wish I knew which it was, would even give my GPS a separate volume indicator so I could make the GPS much louder than the music.
None of the ROM's I've tried since then do that. They all put everything into one single Bluetooth volume.
I am using stock unrooted UCLE2, I think its called, and it works for me through the Bluetooth stereo in my Camry.

Our note ank skyrocket both do this. It has something to do with system media but i have not had time to look into it. Back when I was playing I noticed that if you use an app like zedge or video caller id to set the notification it plays over bt or headphones...if you set through system menu it plays through phone only Or sometimes you get both...

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)
Ok, so here is the Scenario, I'm in the gym and using my phone to listen to music...
First I put my phone on Silent (so it doesn't ring during my work out and annoy everyone around me)
Next I turn on Bluetooth and connect my stereo Bluetooth headphones to my phone
Now I'm listening to music and all is well... AWESOME
Here is the weird thing..... Whenever I get a call.... technically my phone is silent so it should not be ringing, right? But what does happen is first I get a beeping in my headphones, which is fine..... but then the Music automatically switches and it starts blaring through the phone's speakers, and this goes on until I either answer the call or ignore the call, then the music reverts back to my headphones as it was before the call.
My question, why does the music revert from bluetooth to the phone's speakers when I Get a call and my phone is on silent - Its sooo freaking annoying, this also happens with my bluetooth car kit. Any ideas whats going on?
Can't help you solve the issue but I do know for a fact my galaxy nexus did the exact same thing. I gave up on bluetooth.

I just started using a temporary fix.... I noticed this ONLY happens when the phone is on SILENT or VIBRATE (doesn't happen when its on RING since it just rings normally)....
So what I did was setup a Smart Action clause which when connected to my stereo bluetooth headset, which I pretty much only use when I'm working out, it will keep the phone on RING but turn the volume as low as possible without making it silent and it will also automatically switch to a very quiet barely audible ringtone!
This works for me!
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.
I cannot seem to figure this out. When I pair my bluetooth either to speakers, car, samsung buds if the "call" option is on under bluetooth settings the volume of the song drops in half and the bass is completely gone. To me it sounds like it's sending anything I play through a call channel? If that's a thing. The second I turn off the call option the full volume comes and bass comes back. Turning off call is not a solution as my car and galaxy wear app says my bluetooth is not connected without the call option on (which means the controls of my buds don't work). Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution?
