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.

im new to the rooting G1 thing, i have mno volume control while in calls and its REALLY annoying and also quite loud. im running cyanogenmod 4.2.9.1 and hadnt noticed this problem until today.
please, if anyone can help id REALLY appreciate it
EDIT: it seems like the volume goes from loud (when turned all the way "down") to louder (all the way "up") and theres a nearly unnoticeable difference in volume

I have experienced the same problem on the same ROM but never thought it was that big of an issue to start my own thread. But since you started on, I guess I will jump on the bandwagon. Sometimes the volume control problem is sporadic and it will work, but I havent really noticed when the times are that the volume works (like after a reboot). I'll try to take notice, also, I'm not sure a logcat would help otherwise I would provide it on the CM thread. Anybody want to weigh in on this and see if its worth raising the issue on the CM thread? If I can't produce a logcat then I doubt Cyanogen will be able to reproduce the problem and therefore will not be able to address the situation.
BTW, I also have Meltus's latest AudioHack. I figured I'd mention it since it has to do with the volume.
Hamtoast, do you have the AudioHack?
i dont have the audiohack, though i thought about getting it after i noticed this problem. i wasnt sure if itd help though and didnt want to shell out the $2 or however much it costs. my volume is otherwise fine and i have no other issues with it (like being too quiet, which is why most people get the audiohack to my understanding).
this issue we are experiencing is of course not of major importance and doesnt interfere with use, but personally i adjust volume regularly while on the phone, depending on my location and who im talking to. its rather inconvenient not being able to do it.
Okay, so the whole slight volume change was false, there is absolutely zero difference in volume during calls. I read somewhere that it could be an issue with the radio. i was planning on getting the newest radio and danger spl soon so as soon as i get a new sd card ill be testing that to see if the radio is the issue. i will also be trying a hero rom so if CM is the problem i will find that out.
I have a similar problem where my phone is one step from maximum volume (in call) it will not go up to max unless I press volume down them go up. I do not have the audio hack fyi. I guess it may be worth bringing up for cyano to prehaps work on because we r all running his rom with and without audio hack and having problems with volume. I am sure that others are havimg similar problems aswell.
I have the exact same problem. I am going to have to go to a different ROM because of this my phone is new and talking to most people is ear splitting.
i guess ill bring it up in a cyano forum or send a message or something. it certainly is annoying, and it does seem to be related to the ROM.
i dunno if you all are having this issue or if youve noticed or not but it could be related... anyway, if im using headphones and get a text or email or phonecall (anything requiring some sort of notification) i lose all sound to my phone until i reboot it. i checked the builds and it said he addressed some headset issue in 4.2.9.1 but it seems to be there still. just wonderin if anyone noticed that.
ill be looking into cyano forums and trying to find a fix.
@HamToast,
I have mostly noticed just general sound loss. Not anything really related to the headset. Notifications will drop out, phone won't ring sometimes, volume control problems etc. For example, right now, no matter how much I adjust the volume, the sound coming from the screen clicks are always the same volume.
Also, I have the latest radio and the Danger SPL so I'm not sure if that has any bearing on the sound issue. My signature is up to date with the exception of running both the latest CM build as well as the latest Amon_RA recovery image.
aw you have the latest radio and danger spl? im running older radio/spl and was hoping an upgrade would help
i wonder what the issue is with this sound buginess... i went to the newest CM 4.2.10.1 and it was so slow with a considerable amount of hangtime in certain apps, so i went back to 4.2.9.1. the sound issues werent fixed in x.10 or x.10.1
Hello All,
I searched first by the way :-/
Recently my Nexus has had its earpiece too loud for both Incoming and Outgoing Calls.
At first I thought it had something to do with the radio, so I downgraded. It actually worked on the first call but after that it was loud as heck even on the lowest volume.
I tried to retrace my steps with my applications next, but nothing that would point to the earpiece. The last apps installed updated where mostly games like Fruit Ninja and Aliens vs. Humans, so I think we can rule out that.
The specs in my sig should be up to date.
The only variable that has changed other than the ones listed above is the fact that I recently bought a Jawbone Icon Bluetooth Headset. But to my memory, this issue began before that.
Can't find a solution anywhere cause it seems most people have an issue with the phone being too soft lol.
I'm really looking for some help guys. I'm just short of wiping the phone clean and reinstalling CM6 and my apps. If that dosen't work I'll have to use the warranty I guess. Had the phone from about Sept 10 I believe.
Let me know if I missed anything guys. All ideas are welcomed to fix this issue.
It's probably because of CM. CM uses a audio boost kernel by default, so I'm guessing that's the problem. Try installing no audio boost kernel to see if it solves the issue.
yeah if you are using cyanogen ROM, they added an audio boost hack long ago. on cyan 5.0.8 the audio boost was so loud that over 50% volume started to distort the speaker and kill your ears. so in later releases they split the difference and lowered it somewhat.
but the boost has always been there. the only likely possibility is that you recently started enabling DSP settings like compression or the EQ, which would suddenly now make things way louder.
Wow thanks guys. Had no clue that CM had an audio boosted kernel. Guess I'll be flashing something else for the while. Something as close to vanilla I guess.
Oh, I also checked the DSP settings, everything was off but was worth a shot.
Thanks again for the replies!
Just to let anyone with the same issue know, I found away around it. I installed one of Wildmonks kernels without the audio fix.
Kernel 2.6.35.10 to be exact. I get to keep my cyan features and have a decent volume ear piece too. Yay!
Good work. It's funny cause most people complain this phone is too quiet. If only they see this post!
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...?
Hello fellas,
I just installed ICS from this link
The sound works fine when playing music or notifications or whatever I do.
But when I'm making or receiving a call, my sound doesnt work. My phone doesnt ring or hear it ring when making a call and nor can they hear me at all.
The only way I can make a phone call is through bluetooth which makes me think that the speaker on the phone isnt configured correctly.
If the ROM is the issue which rom do you recommend for my DROID 3?
Thanks for your help!
This is known issue people are experience with CM9, Gummy, and AOKP. MotoBlur + Android 4.0.4 is based of AOKP inheriting its issues. Usually a restart or two fixes the issue, but it is somewhat random. I believe the issue involves bluetooth but I guess no one really knows. I heard toggling bluetooth sometimes fixes it as well.
However you say it doesn't even ring, I have never had it not ring. But have experienced the rest.
Tried that
I've tried restarting several times, doing it again as I type.
When I've also tried to toggle bluetooth off during a call but it didnt work.
Should I reinstall the ROM?
Ok so I deleted all data and cache.
Re-installed the ROM again and it turns out that bluetooth is messing with my in-call sound. My phone rings now (by default there was no ringtone selected) but when I toggle bluetooth on I cannot hear anyone or anyone hear me.
Band aid: Keep bluetooth turned off until it gets fixed.
Thanks for your help Senate9690.
Is there a different rom out there for Droid 3?
About that band-aid
I run into a the no sound on calls as well. I'm running ICS and have always left the Bluetooth off. For me it seems to happen occasionally after I interrupt music/audio playback by removing the wired headphones from the jack or incoming call.
Just flushing the cache and rebooting letting the cache rebuild seems to fix it without the need to a re flash or factory reset. It is good to hear I'm not the only one experiencing the issue.
I ran into that issue with cm9 (selfkang) as well. Usually just toggling bluetooth off did the trick, and when it didn't, rebooting always worked. The sound issues were only in-call related, and notifications/ringtones worked just fine. I switched to Axiom and aside from the know in-call issues, toggling bt off works perfectly without rebooting.
In my opinion, Axiom is an excellent rom. My only drawback is the amount of battery sucked dry when the screen is on/keyboard out, however under very minimal use it has lasted well into the next day. Hash's original cm9 has prevailed as the battery king in my ICS D3 testing, but Axiom has made me a happy camper. I didn't spend much time with Gummy or the original AOKP though. That's the beauty in rom choices; different strokes for different folks

A lot of Android phones are having this issue. Try this app and see if it works. The Pro version lets you route sound during phone calls too!

Bluetooth Share?
Hi,
This is my first post, but I have encountered an issue similar to this before. I work for a company that makes Bluetooth headsets, primarily for truckers, and this is a fairly often related experience. I would describe it as "dead air" on a phone call. Often, if the headset supports it, the A2DP stream will be fine. I don't know why, or where we found this from, but we have found that often if a user goes into their application settings, to "All" apps, there will be an app there titled "Bluetooth Share". Sometimes there is more than one, but only one with show an amount of data. Going into this, clearing that data, then restarting the phone has been reported to help resolve this issue.
Try it, and see what happens. Not just Motorola phones do this either, but it seems to be associated with Android 4.0.x and up.
Thanks,
Alex.
I belive this rom has a bug where the speaker/earpiece doesn't work if Bluetooth is on.

Make sure bluetooth is off
Let's try this again.
I've got the N6 and so far it's great but one of the things that I absolutely hate about it is the Ascending Ringtone "feature" that either Google or Motorola has put on this phone. I'm one of those wacky people that likes to actually hear my phone ring, or alarm tone, or text notification at the volume that I set manually, rather than have the phone start the tone whisper quiet and then go up in volume.
I've heard of a custom ROM or two that have removed this feature (or at least made it OPTIONAL) but in my own personal experience, custom ROMs have always been too buggy for my taste. I wasn't exactly planning on rooting this phone, but I may just have to do that for a custom ROM that turns the ascending ring feature off or removes it all together. Sorry for the ramble, but I suppose my question is this: Is there a Custom ROM out there that is essentially a stock ROM - with absolutely nothing changed except for this? Is changing this feature something that someone like myself could accomplish by compiling a ROM on his own? I have no experience with this, only experience with flashing downloaded custom ROMs.
I don't mind stock 5.0.1, I just want to get rid of that ringtone issue. I've tried the "Disable Increasing Ring" app, but it has not helped.
To be clear: just flashing a custom ROM or editing an mp3 to a different volume is NOT what I'm looking to do, as this 'feature' is affecting all sorts of notifications, and not just the ringtone.
Thanks for any help, or helpful suggestions.
I agree, I can't stand the decreased to increased volume when I get a call or notification.
The funny thing is that it doesn't happen all the time for me. I wonder if it's a bug with the phone hardware or possibly software.
On my Nexus 6, it only affects the ring (call) signals. The notification sounds aren't affected at all.
Still very annoying, since we can't make this choice ourselves. I'd hate to need to flash another
ROM, due solely to this crap! Too bad the "Disable Increasing Ring" app doesn't work on N6.
It worked flawlessly on my old Note II. I wish the dev would extend the functionality for us.
bump.
I've been looking for a fix for this for a while as well. This is, quite possibly, the worst "feature" Google ever added to their ROMs. It makes it sound like the phone is broken and it's beyond annoying.
Yeah I agree, this ''feature'' should have been optional just like the encryption should have been optional too....
Let's keep our fingers crossed that Google adresses
this crap within reasonable time. It's a pain in the b...
I thought I was the only one who thought this was ridiculous. You've already missed like 2-3 rings and wasted time left to answer the call, sometimes. I can't wait for more "official" custom ROMs.
bump.
Yes. This "feature" sucks. Hope it goes away or becomes optional.
I have the same issue and can't find any option to disable this.
Hope google will make this optional the increasing ringtone.
EDIT: Btw this "issue" is present on custom ROM's aswell i think.
I really hate it also...can someone please kill it
Just tried cyanogenmod 12 (nightly 20150126) and it's there also. In this case it is even worse because CM's built in increasing ringtone feature does not work very well maybe because of the default N6 behavior.
bump.
Wondering about this also.
I was researching this issue for couple days and I found just few custom roms that fix this issue.
1) MeanPop rom. It's a bit outdated (based on 5.1.0), but works like a charm and very near to the original stock (personally tested and as I understood all sounds are just starting playing with a delay)
2) Benzo rom (based on Euphoria rom). Haven't tried it, but people say all sounds work perfectly (it looks like its highly customized rom)
3) Euphoria rom (Personally tested - fast, stable, customizable). For some people it didn't work and I found suggestion to flash first franco kernel and then the rom. That's what I did and everything works perfectly like it should be.
Couldn't find any other roms or mods. Programs like "Disable Increasing Ring" don't work, but maybe it will with custom kernel - haven't tried.
I'm running latest Euphoria ROM with the increasing ringtone already disabled but still it plays the ascending ringtone for some reason. Anyways my simple fix was I used Nero Soundtrax and added a 2 second delay to the beginning of the mp3 file I used as my ringtone and it sounds perfect no more ascending ringtone.
I didn't notice this on the chroma rom, but after flashing stock 6.0.1, this issue appeared.
I don't think it is a hardware bug. For me, other notifications are fine. Ring and alarm are the two that are problematic.
It's super ****ty that it affects alarms. It's at least 7 seconds after a timer reaches 0 until I start hearing it beep. Wtf... I mean 7 seconds isn't a huge deal in anything that I'm timing but WHY make it affect alarms?
Maybe I'm missing the point here, particularly with the last two posts. I have 6.0.1 MMB29S from January 4th 2016, and it has separate volume controls for Alarms & Timers in clock settings - "Gradually increase volume" - both allowing a certain number of seconds for the increase, including zero seconds, which I would take to be "off", right...?
I haven't tested this yet, since it's an option I didn't notice until I looked just now, but have the last two posters seen and tried it?
i hate this feature too.
