Hi all,
So this is a stock Nexus 5 (root only) and I have noticed that if I am playing music with PowerAmp or streaming music with Xiia, if a notification comes through (email, viber etc.) the playback stutters for a few seconds and the notification sound is never fully played. On my previous phones the music volume would go low, the notification would play, and then the volume would go back up. With the N5 it just stutters.
Anyone else have this issue?
I think it just mutes for a split second if listening to music. It's not a stutter, I'm sure i read it got changed so if you had headphones in you didn't get deafened my a loud notification sound coming through

I've got a really annoying problem; when listening to music on the headphones that came with the phone and a call comes in, the music appropriately stops to answer the call. But when the call ends, for any app other than the stock touchwiz music app, music will not start playing again until I unplug and replug in the headphones. It says music is playing, but no sounds comes through. The stock music app is mehh, I far prefer play music or power amp. Has anyone found a fix for this problem?

No, but it is annoying. You can also pause for maybe between one and two minutes then hit play again to make it start.
Also found that unplugging/plugging doesn't work if done too close to the end of the call.
Edit : fix ... see two posts down:
On beans 11 play music works. The only problem is occasionally when a song ends the next one won't start until I turn the screen on. But in terms of phone calls it fixes my problem

Okay, figured out the problem.
Go to settings, then motion, and at the bottom of the list uncheck (palm touch to mute)
Especially being in a case, it triggers the proximity sensor and mutes the music.
Haven't had a problem since I found aand unchecked this setting, so at least foe me that's what the issue was.
Currently notification sounds stop the music playback (beats on/off doesn't matter). Is there a way to stop it from doing that? I feel like when I initially got it (1.83 I think) it didn't use to, but since then I have moved on, so I don't remember.
Has anyone found a way to make it stop doing that? The only work around I found is to mute the ringer volume first and then start playing audio.

the notification sound is doing what it is suppose too, you can mute or disable notification sounds then your audio will not be stopped down side would be you will have to check your phone for text, emails etc.
Really? In my previous phone it would mix in nicely with the notification being lost than the music. That way the music wouldn't cut out completely.

The music cuts out during notifications on the stock ROMs (1.73 and 1.85) same as for all 3 HTC Android devices I've owned.
If it blended in to the music, you might not notice it, depending on the volume and ringtone used.
Just turn the ringer volume down. I wouldn't mind it except it doesn't pause the music so there is a few second gap in the song.
Ah. I see. This is my first HTC android.
Thanks

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.

Thank you, looks like I'm flashing a new Rom tonight!
Yep, as the title suggest my N5 sometimes makes no sound when there should be music playing!
It happens with every single music file, not specified to a special one.
It happes in the stock music app, it happens when i get a call, when the alarm clock rings...
Please try out if you got the same error by doing one of the following:
Press next in music app, wait. Do you hear a sound? Do and Repeat.
Set a mp3 as ringtone or alarm and then repeat and repeat click on it in the option menu. does it sometimes makes no sound?
Also confirmed it by calling myself with another phone.
1. call: n5 rang.
2. call: n5 got the call but no sound was playing.
yeah. this is kinda annoying ! Stock N5. (Also my Alarm Clock was 8 minute late once?? Maybe the mp3 was just muted 5times? Dont think so..)
Besides... as we are speaking of sound... does your Titanium ringtone and Argon alarm tone also sounds distored trough the speaker? (Also on low volume!!) Crystal clear on n4 but kinda annoying on n5..
Same here! Just yesterday, I was with a friend who was thinking about buying a 32gb N5, and asked me to demonstrate playing some music for her. I started Google play music, and tried to play one of my many saved albums. To my surprise, I couldn't hear anything. I checked all my sound settings, and nothing was muted. I ended up rebooting the device.
After reboot, everything worked as usual.
Weird!

This is apart from how it behaves for me.
When a song is muted, restarting the song, or forwarding to another part helps!
But hey, it's not cool if the alarm is silent or incoming calls make no sound 3 out of 10times or so.
This happened to me for the first time last night when using the Music app. Song played fine, but no sound. Restarting the song fixed it.
Same issue as well. KitKat has some bugs and that's one I encounter besides others.

Same here I thought it was just my MP3 files whicj were corrupted. A little worried about alarm tings though...that's something I don't want to find out
This sucks

I'll probably return my N5 and stay with my N4 for the time being.
Not because of this problem, but because of the distortion of the speaker (even default ringtones are distorted on low volume).
This is not the *****ing of others, its a real faulty speaker.
Since I purchased my N5 from the Google Play store, what's the return policy? 14 days, 30 days?

Hmm, it seems so strange, i have a melody set as ringtone and after a period of inactivity the phone vibrates without ringing!
I'll try setting a new ringtone from the default ones to see if it still happens.
Same here! Got 2 nights in a row where my alarm didn't set off so I almost overslept an important appointment...
Never had any problems with that the first week but today I also got a call where the N5 only vibrated but didn't make a sound at all. Still on stock but looking forward to CM11 to arrive at a reasonable state (including all my loved features).
I'm now trying to convert the mp3 files to ogg and put them directly under /system/media/audio/
It's not a Nexus 5 defect, I'm with a Galaxy Nexus with android 4.3 and it happens to me as well.
ogg helps!?
I *think* using ogg is more stable. When I hit the mp3 when choosing the ringtone multiple times (hammer on it) sometimes the sample will NOT start to play. Using an ogg, I ALWAYS got an immediate response, no mute at all.
I'll watch it the next days using ogg files (and cutted to about 1:30 min) now.
Just to let you guys know: since I use .ogg files for alarm and ringtone I never missed any! It seems ogg is much more reliable...
So I'm thinking about doing a new ringtone app that converts (and maybe allows to cut) mp3 to ogg and use them as ringtone/alarm/notification.
Ok... So... I use poweramp and viper audio in case it makes a difference.
When listening to music and receiving a text my phone used to quickly mute for a split second.
Now my phone has started playing the message tone over the music
Any ideas why it's randomly changed what it does?

Have you made any changes to your phone leading up to the change?
Nope, unless an app updated making the difference?

Completely stock GPM user here. My volume gets temporarily lowered while the notification sound plays.
Maybe its a power amp feature that was patched in?

Maybe? Cus I've always used poweramp. So maybe an update changed it

I haven't used PowerAmp in a while, but I believe there is a toggle for what to do when a notification plays (pause, lower volume, or do nothing).
