I use Spotify for music on my M8, and while I've searched all over for a solution I just can't figure this out. When I receive a notification, the music pauses indefinitely. Only when I clear the notification does the music resume. This is contrary to every other Android device I've ever owned, where putting the device on silent or vibrate would stop the music from pausing at all. I've never had one that didn't resume a second or two later.
So, does anybody have any advice for me on this? Thanks in advance!

Try uninstalling and re-installing Spotify?

Thanks for the reply, I gave that a shot but nothing. I did realize though that it only happens on Bluetooth, not with headphones attached. I'm all out of ideas.

There is a setting or option somewhere (cant think of exactly where atm) that disallows apps to read notifications. Try disabling that if you can find it. Sounds like notifications are stealing the audio focus from spotify

Thanks again for trying to help. I know exactly what you're talking about, but I can't find it on the stock ROM either. Either HTC must have removed the ability to do that, or Google did in 4.4.2. Anyway, thanks again. I guess I'll just cross my fingers that they've fixed it in the new version of Spotify that is supposed to come out soon.

That was removed by Google in 4.4.2, was it not?
Download it from play store and turn notification off for that app. Works perfect!

Hi, returning to android after a several year hiatus on an iPhone. Couple of things really annoying me. One is every time I plug my headphones in I get this stupid notification asking me if I want to enhance my audio experience. I do not for the last time! How the hell do I stop this popping up ? Searched around but can't find anything.
Other things annoying me like "Whats new" and other sony crap but I've found some other info on the forum to remove that which I need to try. But nothing on the headphone pop up thing?
Thanks,
"Improve your headphone sound" screenshots attached.
I got no idea either, it's pretty annoying. The normal way of holding down on the notification and "blocking notifications" isn't an option here. I didn't have this problem on Lollipop, which country version are you using?
I only got it the first time Marshmallow opened but not anymore. Try enabling and disabling the option.

Yeah, I have not spotted this either, get the ear icon on the screen, that I would have to manually open to get the screen you show
old post, but just for anyone else:
double tap the notification, enable the sound enhancer, allow it permission to record
then disable sound enhancer again.
this seems to have got rid of the notification for me
Hi all,
In my last experience with S5 I didn't have this issue. And I think is annoying because I can't watch a video normally which means every time a whatsapp notification comes the video enters in pause mode for a while. Is there any special configuration to avoid this? Actually I'm using this app "Don't Pause!" but as I mentioned this is not a normal behavior. In the past I didn't need an extra app to handle this.
Thanks in advance.

Any idea? In addition to this concers, this happens when no headphones, just speaker
Did you get a solution? Im having the exact same problem.
Have you tried not to disturb
Yes I have tried DND mode and incredibly it still does not work. I managed to find sort of a solution. I disabled pop up notifications, so now whenever I get a messagw the phone still vibrates, but it doesnt show on screen and video isnt paused. I didnt have this problem at all on my S6, I dont know why it happens on S7 though.
Sound plays before the video. Uninstalled Youtube updates, no help. Anyone fixed this one?
Anyone else having sync trouble with YouTube, or is it just me?
No I do not. Curious are you listening through some type of bluetooth device? I use to have that problem when watching videos in my F-150 over the speakers.
I also have that problem.

I usually watch YouTube using the external speaker. Just tried some headphones, same problem. To my ears, it starts off wrong and stays wrong, it doesn't seem to drift.
Finally got around to creating a thread on the Lenovo site: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets-and/Youtube-A-V-sync-problem-on-the-Phab2-Pro-PB2-690Y/td-p/3506026
I am having the same issue
One thing I've been curious about is whether all video playback is affected or if it's just YouTube.
Played some trailers on Rotten Tomatoes and they looked good to me, can anyone confirm? I could have just missed it, movie trailers don't seem to show much speaking.
Also played a couple free videos on Play Movies & TV and the sync problem was there. I think we can add that app to the problem list. Can anyone confirm on that one too?
Dolby app
Could someone try this. I did a force stop on the Dolby app and played a YouTube video. I think it's a lot better with the audio and video sync. It may just be me.

You are right that turning off the Dolby service does fix the slight sync issue on YouTube. I simply turned off the service from the tray pulldown without force stopping the app and it worked right away. Anyone else can confirm this?

How are you turning off Dolby?
On my phone, clicking on the app causes immediate crash & selecting it in Settings > Apps doesn't allow either "Uninstall" or "Disable".

Pull down from the top of the screen which will show your notifications window, then pull down from the top of the screen again to see the quick toggles, which will have a toggle button for DOLBY.

Yeah, got the button, but it doesn't "click". Even going into Settings > Developer Options > Inactive apps, toggling Dolby doesn't do anything, doesn't deactivate like every other app.

You may need to do a factory reset. Can't imagine why it wouldn't toggle for you.

Try running the Dolby app (in the app drawer), and clicking the round power button at the top left, maybe that will turn it off for you? Works here anyhow. On mine, if I'm playing sounds with Dolby Atmos enabled, it shows a frequency analysis, but with it off, it doesn't, so that might be helpful in determining if it worked.
I'm not sure what happened, but the sync problem is back for me, even with Dolby off. Tried rebooting, no luck.

Agreed. It did work perfectly for a while, but for an unknown reason it went back to not working pretty quickly. I need to figure out how to log back in on the Lenovo forums so I can contradict my earlier post.
Updated last week. Now no alarm/countdown app (apart from the built in one) will give any sound?
All permissions and notifications are set on and power saving is set to no restrictions.
I've installed 5 different alarm app and none of them will trigger a sound or even get the phone to vibrate!
They all look as if they should be working, the display is flashing but that's as far as they get.
I've restarted the phone many, many times. That doesn't change anything.
I'm guessing that it's an OS bug, but can anyone suggest a workaround that might help?

Alarm sound is on and works with the built in clock/alarm but no third party app will make a sound or even vibrate!
There's a thread on Reddit from people with the same problem, so it would seem to be an issue linked to the Miui 12 update so I guess we have to wait for an update on the update!!

Thank you for trying that.
I don't know why, but the 'Clock' app you've tried works on my Mix 3... None of the others I've tried do and I've just retried them all! I can not explain how or why that's the case???

Lol that's weird, maybe it depends on the way that they work. If you want I can test the ones that doesn't work for you.
Since I've had my phone, some notifications just don't come through no matter what I do. WhatsApp will not work unless I wake up my screen and my calender reminders never work unless I happen to be on my phone.
All permissions granted, battery optimization turned off, auto start enabled and no restrictions on these apps. Quite annoying.
Does anyone know how to sort this?
LOL this has to be the funniest post I've ever seen here. Like 25% of posts and comments on mi 10 ultra forums are about notification issues bud. Did you even attempt to search?

Are you on stock Chinese by any chance? Switch to the EU ROM, this will resolve your issue easier than it is to explain every setting needed for some notifications to fully work. Took me ages but I did do it. Then I went EU, no issues, worked straight away.

I'm on the stock rom. Not planning on switching to the EU rom any time soon as I need Google Pay and my banking apps working.
Would you mind telling me how you got it working?

Definitely try the EU ROM. It has its own problems but it's better than the stock.
Yeah I get this all the time. Its so frustrating. This bug has a mind of its own and seems to choose when it likes to stop notifications working

It is very strange, because WhatsApp is one of the apps whose notifications seems to be reliable.
Gmail is one that I am not 100% sure about. But I feel it is somehow related to the way gmail handle its notification, since I experience similar behaviour on other phones.
Teams and Outlook are 100% notifications rate for me.
Possibly I have set something else in MIUI settings, I have to check everything.
