[Q] sms/call notification sounds from speaker with earphones plugged in - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

this is my first post. I tried looking for an answer to this without having to post a thread, but I failed... so i'm wondering if anyone can help.
the problem is just as the title suggests. I didn't realize this using stock 2.1, cognition 3.01 but after flashing to cognition 4.1 I realized my sms/call notifications come through both speaker and earphones when earphone is plugged in.
has it always been this way for the captivate? I could've sworn I didn't realize this while using cognition 3.01. I thought the notification sounds were only coming from the earphone when it's plugged in. I mean it makes sense right? if you're in the library listening to music on the captivate you expect it to ring notification ringtones through the earphone not the speaker.
thinking it was fine on stock 2.1, i went back and flashed back to stock and realized it did the same thing.
so yea my question is
1. is this the normal settings on the captivate/android?
2. is there a fix around this problem? (without having to set the phone to silent/vibrate while listening to music)

Yeah, I have the same problem with most of the ROMs here. Not sure if it's the same with the stock, but it does seem like a standard setting.
My only suggestion is to leave it on silent if you don't need it going off... It is a bit of a nuisance though!

it really is annoying. I could've sworn either 2.1update-1 or cog 3.01 didn't do this. i did find out some people prefer this setting for some reason. sigh.

Ok so I have the same problem. I was looking for a solution and was about to post a thread until I found this one. Like it was previously mentioned, I would like my notifications/ringtone go thru my earphones ONLY if I was to be in a library for example... Any suggestions...?

2.2 headset woes

I just upgraded to 2.2 for the Captivate using the ODIN3, and everything is working great except sound through the headphone jack.
Music, navigation plays through the headset, but phone calls and notifications don't.
How am I supposed to hear them with music blearing over it?
Anyone know of a fix? I checked the settings and I don't see an option for it.

Search would have told you that this is a known issue - 2.2 is Beta.
There is no known fix.

You are lucky, mine doesnt let me even hear media or music thru the 3.5 mm!
???
I have 2.2 installed and don't have any issue with the headset.
Both music and phone calls work great.
BTW I'm using the stock hands free, the one that came with the phone.
My bluetooth works fine, it's the headphone jack I'm talking about.
i am having the same issue after upgrading via odin3. I also have to click the home button to clear a read text message or else it reminds me again.

No voice out of the "3.5 mm"?
Yeah that was a LOLWUT post. And that's been on the phone since I've had it, it's intentional, I think. Because you have to press the back button to clear the notification, because when you click on messages again, it stays at the same spot and the notification stays in the title bar because you didn't clear it.
i hear sound but i dont hear voicalls or notifications. if im listening to music with my sony headphones and someone calls i dont the ring through the headphones or the voice. i have to use the handset

when i was on 2.1, if i clicked a message from the notifiaction bar it would bring to the thread and mark it as read. froyo is not doing that. is there a way to fix it
IDK what 2.1 you had.
The one I had, I had to press back to clear the notification. It still does the same thing on 2.2.
It could be a bug, it is a beta.

I missed reading that in the notes.
I've searched quite a bit and never ran accross anyone mentioning it.
My headphones play music, notifications, everything just great, but in call volume is terribly low (NOT on headphones, but when I route the aux cable to my stereo in my car)
I had the issue initially in 2.1 from stock ROM, but managed to fix it somehow, and I can't figure out how. I tried all the evice level fixes, eve 6 different audio control apps off the market.
My typical setup is that I never use earbuds or headphones. I plug the aux cable into my headphone jack and run it sraight into my car CD player in aux mode. It plays everything at normal levels EXCEPT in call volume. If this is a bug, I'll just have to deal with it then.

[Q] Darky Captivate Sound Issues..

Up until this point, I haven't had any issues with my phone, sound or otherwise.
Once I upgraded to Darky's 9.1, I could no longer hear my "touch" acknowledgments or media sounds.. I.E. Youtube videos have no sound at all.. UNLESS, I plug in headphones.. Then for some reason all of the sounds want to work.. through the phone speaker. Odd right?
No other roms seem to give me issues, and even going down to 8.X solves this.. I'm assuming it has to do with something in Darky's (Obviously..) and, more than likely Voodoo. Is anyone else having any problems like this? Should I maybe try to disable Voodoo and see what happens?
Basic Rundown..
Ringtones play, notifications go off, yet, when I try to watch videos or stream ringtones through ringtone apps, I have no audio, UNLESS I plug in headphones; However that makes the sound come out of the headphones + phone speaker.
Stuck.
Anybody?

I had this issue, although my Captivate had sound working for a short time, but while selecting a ringtone or notification tone it cut out. A reboot fixed it once, after that it still won't work. I noticed that the sound DID work the volume was super low. I had to hold the speaker directly on my ear to hear anything. I've just done a master clear, and Odin 1-Click, reflashed 9.3 and I'm about to do the CWM "part 2" again. This time I'm going to try a different kernel. I'll let you know if it works. If not, I'll have to jump to a different ROM. I was using Speedmod selected from Darky's ROM Manager if that makes any difference.
Ditto. Just flashed Darky's 10.1 and I'm having the exact same issues minus the headphones (which I have yet to test out).
when it comes to speaker sound darky rom sucks big time till date.rest of it rocks like a rockstar.

(q) headphone settings

Just flashed 1.5.20 of miui today.
My headphone icon still comes up on the notification bar, when the headphones arent in. So pretty much im having trouble listening to my music out of my speakers, and when i want to listen to them with my headphones. Dont know if im supposed to wipe something in recovery, Just give me a reply back. thanks.
1. Don't double post 2 threads isn't appropriate.
2. Flash to stock if you still have the problem it's hardware related and get a warranty replacement.
if it goes away just avoid that rom I s'pose.
okay, so far ive been talking on the phone with headphones plugged in so i can at least hear from the speaker. The rom is miui, its been really buggy with my phone, probably because its still beta.

[Q] Cyanogen Mod ROMS: notifications/alarms and A2DP

I am finding that no matter which version of Cyanogen's mod I use, either the official release, or one of the variants, they all have a similar issue:
When using my A2DP head set, all notifications and alarms will only play over the headset as long as it is connected. I have selected in the Cyanogenmod settings to force all notifications, ring tones, alarms over the speaker, but it does not seem to apply to A2DP.
Does anyone have similar issues, and has anyone found a solution if they have experienced this issue?
John
I can't be the only one having this issue. Its not there in stock and not there in MIUI.
I so much prefer Cyanogen roms though, minus this one issue. The ringtone also gets played over the bluetooth.
Its not an issue of turn off your bluetooth before you go to bed. Its also an issue of I can't hear my phone ring unless my bluetooth is on me.
Idiot, wrong section....
I see. Well thanks for the constructive post then.
And you're saying this behavior does not happen on stock roms, only cyanogen?

That is correct. Stock roms and MIUI roms do not exhibit this behavior for me.
that's a tough one. it will be hard to get the team to recognize and look to fix this discrepency. i had a similar "complaint" and i tried to go thru the code myself to see about fixing it. but your issue is way above my skill level so i dont knwo what you could do.

[Q] Headphones/Speaker not functioning properly

So I have been trying many of the latest Gingerbread roms as I had been with Froyo and Eclair. Recently, I went from Cog5v1 over to a CM7/MIUI rom and noticed that the headphone icon was always in the notification bar and I had no sound from the speakers. The internal speaker seemed to work properly, as I could hear ringtones, notifications, volume rocker, etc...but no system sounds, music and such. Also, when I receive a call, i cannot hear anything until i hit the spekerphone button and then the speaker works. Additionally, while on MIUI, I switched kernals and the problem inverted, meaning the speaker worked as it should but I had no headphone response at all. Since this problem occurred, I have flashed back to stock, master cleared, flashed froyo, flashed stock GB, and many others always flashing to stock in between. Now with every rom I flash I have the constant "headphone on" problem. Others have suggested hardware, but the speaker does work (speakerphone and when I change kernals and invert the problem), so im thinking it is more likely software, firmware, or bootloader related.
Has anyone experienced something like this before or could suggest something to try to fix the problem? I use headphones for music and audiobooks everyday, but if the phone cannot handle regular phonecalls, its pretty much useless to me.
First, Bootloaders and firmware ARE software listing them separately is just redundant.
just because the speaker works does not mean it's not hardware related. Sounds like an issue in the headphone jack. Try and spray it out with some air duster perhaps?
