Running Codename Android
I set up my phone to play through a Bluetooth stereo dock and at first BeyondPod wasn't playing through it but Google Play music was. BeyondPod Started playing through the speakerphone instead. When I realized Play Music was working I opened up Pandora and it also played through the Bluetooth.... until the first song ended and it switched over to the speaker phone. Oddly enough, BeyondPod then started playing through bluetooth. I rebooted the phone and now Pandora is permanently playing through speaker phone only. I downloaded and used BT mono, which caused Pandora to play through Bluetooth with a 15 second delay, but when I shut it off it played through Bluetooth perfectly! I rebooted my phone and it is back to speaker phone only. Now BT mono does not affect it at all.
Summary of what I have tried:
Two separate Bluetooth devices, same behavior
BT mono app, worked at first (crappily) but now has no effect.
Multiple reboots, cleared data and reinstalled Pandora, no effect.
Unchecked and recheck BT setting in Pandora, no effect.
The Bluetooth devices are set to "media" in the bluetooth setting, and one of them was set to "media" and "Phone"
Is this a ROM issue? I love this rom... Any other ideas? I don't think it is a problem with the bluetooth devices considering every other app works fine.
Ok so to add to the mystery, I just tried Double Twist, and it did exactly what pandora did. It played the first song through Bluetooth, and when it cycled to the next track it went to speaker phone. Now I can't get Double Twist back to Bluetooth.
IF anyone is following this, I have found that if I enable BT Mono, the sound stops playing from the speaker, and when I disable BT mono it start playing through Bluetooth.
So just a toggle on and off and it randomly works, sometimes it does nothing though. It's incredibly inconsistent.
Could this be a kernel issue?
Appears to be a general CM10 issue. Sorry.
Not sure what the issue is but I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the same issues. I'm trying to find a fix but nobody knows what is going on. I saw on other forums someone referencing the AVRCP version with new builds. Not sure if this is it or not. But I have a 2011 Toyota Camry it will not pair with for Pandora, YouTube, etc... Google Music works but that's it. And I can replicate your issue. If music is playing, I can hear notifications but if it isn't I don't hear anything.
Not sure if this will work for you but it worked for my HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.
A buddy of mine who just got a VZW S3 and is not too technical when it comes to phones/gadgets has an issue with the Samsung Music Player starting via Bluetooth every time he gets in his car. I did some brief searching in the forums, but couldn't find anything specific to the S3. I apologize if I missed the solution in a previous thread. Here is his question that he sent me:
"I just recently bought a new car that has the bluetooth capability so I can play music from my S3 (verizon) without the need for an iPod. I use the Google Play Music app when I listen to music on my phone, but as you know, there is another Samsung proprietary music player on the phone called "Music Player."
Problem is, whenever my phone connects to my car via bluetooth, the car starts playing the music from the Samsung Music Player rather than Google Play Music even if I last used the Google Play Music to listen on my car. I know it's not an issue with my car because it happens in my brother's Ford truck, too. Does anyone know how to fix the player it uses by default?"
Thanks very much

Thanks again!
So I just installed CM10.1 RC1. My Spotify works fine, but Apollo will pay music out of only one side of my speakers. And Google Music can't even play my local music as it gives me an error.
Any suggestions for a fix?
I noticed the exact same thing only with the Now Playing app. But some songs played through both earphones and some played in stereo. I tried the youtube app while connected and it was in stereo as well. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Hello,
I would like toknow if some has this following issue and how he has resolved.
I'm using the OPO with my bluetooth handsfree in my car (ix35).
Everytime I close a Call, the phone resumes the media player and starts to play.
I've experienced this with both Power Amp and Google Play Music.
I add also that in the I've removed the check for the option Settings->Sound->Launch muisc app
Kind Regards,
Luigi
Both my wife and I have the Pixel 2 (non-XL) and both have LG Tone bluetooth headsets. I have the 810 model and she has the 820.
After receiving the 8.1 update, both of us can pause whatever audio is playing over the headsets using the headsets play/pause controls but both cannot unpause the audio from the headset.
This is pretty frustrating for both of us as we both tend to listen to a lot of audio books and it is a very common thing to do throughout a day to pause the audio then unpause.
What's interesting though is in my car (Honda Accord) I can pause and unpause without issue from the controls and in my wife's vehicle (Nissan Rouge) it works as well.
This would point to something specific with the LG's or they type of headsets or perhaps using a combo play/pause is the issue? In my car I have a separate button to play and to pause. In my wife's Rouge, it's on-screen touch controls, not a physical button.
Has anyone else run into this issue after receiving 8.1? Has anyone found any solutions to make it work again?
I have fully removed the headset and re-added it. I did a factory reset on my headset. Rebooted the phones a number of times. It will never unpause only but will pause the audio without issue.
Edit: I tried doing a "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth" just to see if that helped and it did not reset any of my Bluetooth settings! I rebooted and tried again and it resets my Wi-Fi saved networks but my Bluetooth devices that have been or are paired persist. Has anyone else run into this?
I made a post over at Reddit about this as well.

Edit: I did a full factory image reinstall from the downloaded image via fastboot/adb and still have the same result.
I seem to be getting further by trying different combinations in the developer menu for the bluetooth settings. Now if the last used audio app is closed and I push play on the headset it will reopen that app. Prior to 8.1 it would do that and also start playing the audio from the last used app. It's a step in the right direction. I did find a workaround for my most used audio app which is Smart Audiobook Player under the troubleshooting settings to force pause/unpause which seems to work for just that app at least. I still cannot unpause music from the Play Music app or the Audible app though.
