Been testing the Idol 3 for the past 2 days. Yesterday the audio effects (which is on by default) worked splendidly, I especially like it for use with the built in speakers and the ear buds. Point being, I could hear a pronounced difference between the on and off position.
However, ever since I turned it off last night (to feed my stereo) I can no longer hear it switching on or off. I have restarted the phone and the apps effected. I heard it working through Google play music before, and now this feature seems to be broken.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. The only major change I've made to the phone at this point would be installing the Action Launcher.
Yeah mine doesn't work anymore either

If you have dj mode on, try turning it off.

So I just bought my Galaxy S6 ( 32gb Black) today. While listening to some music using Poweramp+Headphones I was playing around with the camera. At this point I realized that when taking a picture the sound switches to speakers for a second and then comes back to the headphones. Has anyone else experienced this issue or do I have a faulty unit ?
Listen to music through headphones -> Take Picture -> Sound cuts out for half a second and comes back

This is not faulty behaviour; mine does that as well. Poweramp, by default, pauses the music when another app interrupts it, and resumes the music when the interruption is done. I believe it is called Audio -> Audio Focus in the Poweramp settings. Try disabling Short Audio Focus Change.
I tried that option today, but it did not solve my problem. It also does not only happen with Poweramp. Every sound producing app I have tried behaves the same way ( Spotify, Samsung's Music app)
There is no shutter sound from the camera since I have my phone on vibrate. The sound just temporarily switches to the speakers and back

This is by design. Every stock Android phone I've owned/used works like this; but then I've always rooted and then removed the sound files.
It's not an "issue", but a feature. One that most people don't want.
You are telling me that my music switching to my speakers for half a second is an intentional feature ? When taking a picture ? I feel like those two things should not have anything to do with eachother

You didn't say the "music" did, you said the sound did. Music switching to speakers is an issue. Sound switching to the speakers, such as the camera sound, is normal.
alright... sorry for phrasing that wrong. The actual music that is playing at that point can be heard through the speakers for a moment.

Oh, the music. I have definitely heard that issue occurring before, but it's always gone away after I've flashed another ROM. Not sure what feature or bug this falls under.
Are you on stock?
Yea I'm on stock. Happened right from the beginning after installing only a few apps

This has happened with every Samsung I've owned (S3, S4). I forgot about this little bug when I switched to LG. This did not happen on the G2/G3. I'm really surprised this bug is still rearing its ugly head. It can be quite awkward to have the music come on for a second while taking a picture when in public.
Samsung, why haven't you fixed this yet?!?
Occasionally the sound in the bottom speakers will stop working and some apps will play through the ear speaker instead. When this happens Google Music, Youtube and some other apps won't work at all. For example pressing play in either of those apps does nothing, as in the play button never changes to a pause button. My alarm app on the other hand plays through the ear speaker instead of not working at all. The ear speaker sound volume is very quiet and doesn't appear to be controlled by the media volume either.
The only remedy that I've been able to find for this is a phone reboot
Wanted to bump this thread -
I originally thought this issue was related to Bluetooth because I use multiple bluetooth devices, but this has happened again recently when I didn't use any Bluetooth devices.
I have the exact same issue, and it's occurrence is random. This started happening a month back. I'm guessing this is due to some software update or something, but its really annoying and the only fix is a reboot.
Anyone has any ideas, whats going on ?
It's been happening multiple times a day lately! It's gotten substantially worse over the past month. I was watching a video, sent a text and when I went to resume it wouldn't play - low and behold the bug came back.. definitely appears to be completely random.
i think that there is somthing with your connection

With my connection to what?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
This problem is driving me crazy
I have the exact same issue. Factory reset and update to newest firmware didn't help any idea?
Wash your phone. And wait till it dry.
I (and other person that I know) have the same issues.
No sound from bottom, and sometimes during the call no audio (I can't ear evrything and the other don't ear me).
Now I'm tring the mobile phone in safety mode.
And I've seen (for the edge version) that next android could fix the problem.
Someone have any update?
Have you tried the safety mode?
Im pretty sure its caused by Facebook messenger and Skype
From what I can tell, this seems to happen when you are playing any kind of audio, such as a video or game, and then receive a notification. You then go to the notification to respond to it and go back to your app that was playing the audio and the issue appears. It seems to be an issue, at least with me, whenever notification is received and subsequently answered.
I know Pixel 2 bluetooth problems have been discussed here and elsewhere ad nauseam, but I honestly haven't found anyone else experiencing the problem I'm having. Or really even close. None of this was an issue with my Nexus 6P, which I just replaced.
First problem: Audio programs mute between tracks. The phone thinks it's playing them, but it isn't. Take Pandora. A few songs will play fine, then one will end, and suddenly it'll go mute when the next song starts. I'll notice no sounds playing, and I'll look down to see it think it's playing, but with no sound. If I pause and hit play again, the sounds start up until the next song, when it does the same thing. This happens with every audio program I've tried EXCEPT Google Play Music, which works fine. It also sometimes works for 4-5 songs before tanking.
Second problem: notification noises suffer the same fate. I'll have Google Play Music going (which works), and it'll just cut out for a second). That's the notification buzz, which silences the music but doesn't actually play anything. Obviously I can't use the play/pause test to see if that fixes this.
I'm using Soundpeats Q16 true wireless. I unfortunately don't have much else with which to test this. I'd blame Soundpeats, but they worked great on my 6P, and the bluetooth problems with the P2 make me think it's not on Soundpeats here.
I've messed around with the Developer options, and I THINK that setting the Playback Quality to anything steady (330kbps, 660kpbs, or 990 kbps) fixes it. The problem is that that, and the other Bluetooth developer options, all reset on me almost immediately, so that's tough to prove. I have also tried messing around with Tasker, whose sounds also wind up muted.
So one question I'd have would be: is there a way to make those developer options stick?
Second question would be: anybody else in this boat?
I have tried both re-pairing and factory resetting the headphones, several times.
I'm on the latest P beta but this has happened on all versions even O. Whenever I'm connected to a Bluetooth audio device, I get no notification sounds out of the phone. How do I fix this?
Bump
same problem but only since Android 9.0 Beta .
Cant believe only 2 of us has this problem.
Bump
How is no one annoyed with this
You are not the only one bothered by this....it's about to drive me bonkers. I am glad to see it isn't just my device. The way things are acting, it looks like notifications are tied to media volume. I hope this is a bug, and not the way things are going to be going forward. Not a bad deal if you keep your earbuds in all the time, but I, for one, wear mine draped around my neck until I'm ready to listen to media or make a call. I have posted on the google help pages too, with no response.
No sound notification at all when connected to Car Bluetooth. Not on device or Bluetooth speakers since upgrading to Android P
Pixel 2 XL
Same thing here on Pixel 2XL after Pie update. No notification sound in Plantronics Bluetooth headset. I have a custom notification sound file. At first I also had no notification sound on the phone speakers, but after I changed the notification sound back to a factory selection and then back to custom file I do now have the sound notification on the phone but still not over Bluetooth.
I'm having the same issue, has anyone figured out a fix for this.
shocking that Google cant sort out **** on their own flagship device. Android is fast becoming a tangled, complicated, gloopy mess.
Seriously nothing?
I have the same problem since upgrading to 9.0. Running on an original Pixel. I also have video playback issues where, if the app supports PIP (like YouTube) it will just automatically set the app to PIP on its own. If the app doesn't support PIP (Facebook, Chrome) and video is playing, it just goes to the home screen. It resumes when I reopen the app, but it's really annoying.
Same here, while connected to my Bluetooth headset all sound and notification goes to the headset. Definitely annoying, the only thing I could do was send Google feedback.
It seems I'm having the less common issue of the sound of the notifications just being flat out low volume when connected via bluetooth. LG headset. Pixel 2 XL. Same configuration since day 1 of phone release. After Pie update, when headset is paired, I often miss any notification sounds. Like they are set to 1% or something. Calls ring loud and fine. Music, video, podcast volume playback fine. I've adjusted all sound volumes to max paired and unpaired, developer options, forgot device and re-paired to no avail.
I ONLY get the notifications when setting the car audio to media (when streaming BBC radio, Google Music or PowerAmp)
This is a real problem for me, enough to switch phone as soon as I see a deal...
Will hop on.
Bluetooth is completely fcked in Android 9. It was working 100% in 7, then with 8 it killed connection to my car, and now with 9 I started to get bugs with headset as well. Every single day in the middle of the night my Bluetooth disconnects and YouTube starts to play at full volume through the speaker.....it's been crazy
That's on top of wifi issues. Pixel constantly crashes my router and automatic wifi turn on is broken in Android 9, was working fine in 8
No one?
???????
Seriously, this is incredibly annoying. I've been having this issue occasionally, but now I have it nearly permanently because I bought a Fitbit that uses BTLE to connect to my phone. If it's connected, I get no notifications at all. This is absurd. BT is so jacked up in Android 9 now, I'm almost tempted to---shudder---switch to an iPhone. This type of crap is incredibly frustrating.
I run my phone on the latest stock Android update and noticed something interesting with Spotify today. I had my volume turned all the way off but my speakers were still outputting music very quietly.
Thought about it some and realized that I had adjusted the equalizer settings in Spotify. When I turned the settings back to normal the issue went away.
Not sure if this actually matters to anyone, just thought it was an interesting bug. Seems weird to me that Android must leave the speakers always on and never actually shuts them off just silences them.
I guess it makes more sense to reduce the voltage of the speakers to 0 V, rather than using a relay. Movable parts are - usually - the first thing to break. Imagine avoid muting your phone just so it can live longer.
Also, a switch uses more space than just a connection and devs are doing everything to reduce size.
