Maps and Music on L - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I'm driving streaming music over Bluetooth and using Maps navigation when the voice prompts come up the music lowers but no voice is played. If no music is playing the voice prompts are loud and clear. Is this happening to anyone else? I noticed it on the final dev preview too.

Working fine for me.

Guess I've got some debugging to do.

GPS navigation Attenuates Media

I would like the google maps GPS navigation voice to attenuate media/music that is playing rather than muting it. Any chance that this is possible?
when i am driving and using GPS and listening to music, it is so annoying when the music keeps getting muted for the voice directions. I'd rather it just turn down the music while speaking and then turn it back up when done speaking.

[Q] Google Nav talking over music from stock player

On my liberated Aria, Google Maps would always pause the music playing in the stock player when announcing directions.
On the HOX it seems like no matter what I do the Nav voice just talks through the music which makes it very difficult pick out directions. Has anyone else notice or succeeded in working around this issue?
I prefer it this way. I hated my music being paused. But I actually mute the Navigation voice all together.

It's odd that it does that. For notifications, it pauses the music, plays the notification, and unpauses it. I'd much rather have the music volume lowered while the notification plays so it's not as jarring. I'm surprised it's inconsistent.

Google Play Music not reliably resuming since Oreo

I use Google Play Music as a music source. Historically, I would stream music in my car, connected via BT, and when I turned my car off, the music would stop. The next time I started the car, Google Play Music would resume. Since the update to Oreo, when I start the car up, the phone will often times start playing from the built-in music app instead (whatever music file it can find on the phone, sometimes the stock music tracks that came with the phone). I seem to have less than a 50% chance of it resorting to the music player, rather than properly resuming Google Play Music. I've tried setting Google Play Music as the default music app, I've turned off all the power management for GPM, but nothing helps. I've even been sitting at a stop light, play a video in facebook (which causes GPM to pause while audio from the video is being played), and then when the video stops, the music player will start playing a track from the phone, rather than GPM resuming. I never had this issue on Nougat, it started with Oreo. I was in the Oreo beta and reported it, but that beta was a farce.
Has anyone else experienced this? Have you fixed it? It's driving me crazy! (no pun intended)

Question Bluetooth audio playback from background app is cut off

When I'm in the car and start music from any audio app (tried YouTube music and a couple different audio players from the app store), and then bring up Google maps, putting the music app in the background but still playing, after about 30-60 seconds the music will stop. Switching back to the audio app will start music playing again, but switching away will cause the audio to get cut off after a bit again.
The music doesn't stop playing if I leave the music player in the foreground, but I'd prefer to have google maps in the foreground. This wasn't an issue with my previous phone so it seems like it isn't a problem with my Bluetooth device.
I tried setting the battery optimization for the music apps to never optimize, but that didn't make any difference.
Anyone else experienced this or have any idea what is going on? I can't really listen to music in my car like this, since I always like to have google maps up.
That's so strange. That happened to me on the op8. But only on custom roms. Go into maps settings and disable voice match. Assistant. Turn it off. It will fix issue. That's very strange. If that doesn't you will have to go under google settings and disable voice match there as well.

Thanks I'll give it a try.
Unfortunately turning off voice assistant hasn't helped.

Question Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended

How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
