I have earphones connected to my phone, yet the notification sound still comes out of my phone, is there a way to change this?
Yes, especially when you are on full volume it can blast your ear drums

I asked this in few other forums, but I was not able to get a response. When I have my wired headsets plugged in, I am still able to hear Ringtone/Notification and possibly other sounds coming out of the speaker. Is this the default behavior that is happening not just to my phone? If so, how do I change it?

I think this is the default behavior. If you put your phone onto silent, then can you still hear them through the headphones? If so, that's your answer. That is one of the few things I prefer on the iPhone - the hardware switch for silent. But it's just a mental adjustment to how silent behaves differently on the Android OS.
by silent you mean the button you see when you pull down the notification panel right? This silences all sound and I don't hear anything even from my headphones.
So I'm new to Android and I've had the GS3 for a few weeks now. I'm liking it so far, but I've noticed something about the GS3 that is kind of annoying..
When I have headphones or a 3.5mm cord plugged into the jack music plays through the headphones or car speakers fine. However, things like notifications, incoming call ringtones and even sms text tones all still play through the phone speaker. Even though it quiets the music through the headphones those audio notifications do not come through the headphones.
Is there a way to change this? Seems really silly.

Hi, not familiar with the GS3 but there are a number of Android ROM's but the basics are pretty much standard.
I would suggest playing around the Profile area rather than the Sound settings.
From your home screen Select Menu then Settings, or just Settings from your Apps page, then go to Profiles rather than Sounds, there is a myriad of setting there. Have a play around.
Hope this helps

So I ordered the GoGroove Bluegate Bluetooth Receiver from Amazon the other day and my package was delivered today! Woohoo!
I got everything set up in my room and was very impressed. I'm no audiophile, but I noticed no difference in quality between the Headphone jack and BT audio.
So out to my truck I went, got it all wired up the way I like, and started playing some tunes.
On Batakang 1.00 and using DoubleTwist, the volume was WAY TOO LOUD. It was also pretty distorted. So I made sure the stereo, BT volume, and media volume were all at the lowest settings to no avail. Still incredibly loud.
Is this phone just loud as hell? I know the external speaker is louder than most other phones. Is it software or hardware? Is there any way I can force the volume down? (Side note, I miss the expandable volume controls after pressing the rocker in CM9/CM10)
Any help is appreciated!
Use Audio Concert Pro from the play store and it should give you everything you need.

It sounds like something in your setup is causing it to bypass the volume settings and just play at max volume. I use my phone all the time for bluetooth audio on 2 blackberry bluetooth gateways (home stereo and office stereo) and a sony bluetooth audio car stereo and I am able to control the volume just fine from both the phone and the stereos.

I think I figured it out. I installed "music volume EQ" from Play and I adjusted all bands to -15 db. This surprisingly made all volumes much more acceptable. I noticed media volume over 8 used to sound the same, like it was maxed out, but it seems much more granular now, and lower volumes are more "normal".
I suggest this fix for anyone who is unhappy with any volumes.

I know this topic is way old, but I know what the problem is. I unlocked and flashed cm10.1, and while the bluetooth takes a few seconds to lock on, it now is at a reasonable volume, the BT volume slider changes volume, and it never jumps to 100% after connection. The Motorola BT drivers must be wonky. Anyway, that's it! Moto screwed up.

Anyone figure out how to use both speakers for notifications? It's driving me crazy having only 1 speaker play the sound when I receive a text. I don't understand why they play from both speakers when you select a notification sound/ringtone, but it only plays from one speaker when you actually get a text/notification.

Yes, however I am sure root will be required. There is a ring tone from both speakers thread under android development
Not only does it just play from one speaker, it's extremely quiet.
With the volume all the way up, it's probably equal to my M8 being 2 clicks up.
Between the volume and the vibration being weak, I could definitely miss a text/email.
Although I don't mind the vibration, the vibrate on my M8 would scare me at night on my wood night stand. Lol
Tell me about it, my dads M8 is like a banshee. My dad left his M8 in a drawer one floor up, and you could hear the vibration one floor down, though faint at that distance.
For me the Z3 is loud enough, even the vibration though a stark contrast to the M8.
I've found that finding the right ringtones and notifications are the way to go. I have loud tones selected, ie. loud sounding sounds, and they are plenty loud enough. The quality on the other hand would be much better through both speakers.
Anyone have any luck getting these to work loud? I use them through otg as its a wireless headset with a dogle. The audio is low when listening to music. While calling people they say the mic is the clearest they've ever heard me but while in call the volume of even lower. I've tried sound boosters and even viper but still it is not loud enough :/ though the buttons work like volume scroll and the next/back/pause buttons. Just the sound is not loud enough. Anyone at all have a solution?
