So after putting this issue on the back burner for a while I'm bringing it back up.
For a long time I had both the headset controls and lockscreen controls for audio working fine on both the stock rom and CM 5-6. Using both the iPhone headset and the Skullcandy Full Metal Jackets with mic/single button control. All was working great with the hero music player, pandora, grooveshark and last.fm.
At some point (around release #142) of updating the CM 6 nightlies both controls stopped working.
Fast forward to now, I have been running ASOP rom running 2.3 and just the other day did another complete wipe and installed CM 7. Still with a complete wipe of the phone and re-installation of these roms I don't have any control of the audio apps either by the headset or the lockscreen controls.
I've tried apps like headset button controller and other sorts of audio players but none work.
Now another note, I just tried debug mode in 'headset button controller' and it's recognizing all my button presses. long click, double and tripple clicks.
So, there's something with the commands not getting to the player apps.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated, it's a major pain in the ass when working out or riding the bike to have to stop/unlock/go to app... just to switch a song.
sorry, re-posting to the questions section...
Have you tried long pressing the volume up and down keys while the screen is off?
First off, sorry for posting here but I'm not allowed to post anywhere else.
I flashed Darky's 9.5 to my captivate last night and am having 2 problems with it.
The first is that the home button just acts as a second back button.
The second is that when you plug a headphone jack all the way in, the sound still comes from the phone. However, when the plug is just halfway in the sound plays through the car speakers. I'm guessing this is a darky's issue since the audio worked fine the day before.
I am using mixzing for music app if it makes a difference
You could have posted in the Darky's sticky at the top of this forum.

So I just flashed the latest ICSSGS ROM onto my samsung galaxy S VIBRANT. I understand this causes some issues since its not a vibrant rom. But the only issue it has is the Volume Rocker is Reversed in functionality and The headset jack STATE is reversed-(as in it think headphones in when its not and out when its in) .
I looked at parts of the kernel to try and fix this eg system/usr/keylayout but I've had no luck.
Anyone have a solution?
I haven't played the game .....
You'll need to remap the buttons.

Check that thread out. It says only a few buttons can be remapped on the Vibrant, but hopefully that includes the volume buttons. If not, there should be enough information in that thread to learn how to do it manually.
Good luck!
EDIT: Actually, since you're running an I9000 ROM, it may work without a hitch. Hopefully this helps.
I was on ICS 4.0.4 RC2 and i inserted a 3.5mm jack as i was listening to some music. When i unpluged the Jack the sign on the notification bar didn't go then i got a call and the front and back speaker did not work. I also flashed CM 7.2 but no avail what should i do
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Hello everyone,
I have a question, and possibly an answer to that question with regards to my Dell Streak 7.
At present I am running AOKP 4.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413390) on my dell streak 7, this followed from an upgrade to CM10.1 where some performance problems have since been resolved (AOKP 4.2, Op Killjoy, memory manager, greenify). However there has been one downside to this upgrade. I have a WIFI only Dell streak 7. CM 10.1 was available in a WIFI only version which allowed for control of media\system volume through the hardware buttons. AOKP 4.2 was only available in a 3g package and subsequently the hardware volume buttons are now linked to ringer volume which serves no purpose. Following a search for solutions I came up with this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049052) while this thread discusses unlinking system and ringer volume I feel that I could use this technique in an equal and opposite way to link the media volume to the ringer volume to regain control of the hardware buttons, is this a viable option? I think so but I'd like to verify. Unless of course there is a way to outright relink the hardware buttons to to just media\system volume, or if it would be easier to rebuild AOKP 4.2 to a WIFI Only version. Did attempt using the buttonremapper.apk available here to no avail.
Only other problem I am having is the headphone port isn't working which is rather unfortunate, but I think that has to do with the sensors not working yet in these builds, from what I have found there isn't a solution available yet, unless I am mistaken?
I really appreciate the help, thank you.
Sensors work, if you flash the update from the correct thread.
Headphones worked for me.
Sometime soon, I plan on writing up a a streak7-common and then splitting into a streak7-4g and streak7-wifi

Alright, perhaps I fiddled up something with the sound settings, I'll investigate, everything flashed correctly. And with respect to sensors I should have clarified, rotation, and all other sensors work, just not headphone sensing or headphone output. I'll update later if I make any progress. Would really appreciate a streak-7-wifi build, you've done some fantastic work with the present build, best the tablet has ever ran. Thank you Giveen.
EDIT: Ok, so the sensors all work, media programs pause when removing headphones from the headphone port, however all audio still plays through the primary speakers. And still working on the volume linking.
Bizarre behavior

Followed abex181 guide for unlinking (or linking rather, binding ring\media\system volume)

Pushed the framework.jar back to tablet using technique provided by jivy26
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296802
Rebooted....
Android optimized itself...
And it worked, I have regained control of the hardware buttons for changing volume before opening a program. It should be noted it previously and currently operates that once opening an app hardware buttons control media instead of phone volume, icon changes.
What is weirder? I plug in the headphones (guess its considered a headset rather, headphones that came with the tablet) and they worked.
That was until I unplugged them. I plug them back in again and its back to speaker only.
I tried pushing framework.jar again and rebooted, this time it didn't optimize, and the headphones still don't work again.
I'm scratching my head here.
All is one
SOLVED:
Got headphone port to work properly.
It was the 'headset' that came with the tablet causing the problems, what I originally referred to as my 'headphones', they didn't work and after attempting to use them it threw the tablet into a mode...
.. a mood? ...
which would fail to recognize any other connector ie. the normal 3 ring 3.5mm jack (opposed to the 4 ring 3.5mm jack of the headset).
Today tried rebooting with my other headphones connected, works, disconnected and reconnected, works, disconnected put to sleep, woken up and reconnected, all works, mystery solved. Unfortunate though, I did really like that headset that came with it. Oh well, while less convenient my Sennheiser HD's fit the bill just fine
Still enjoying the linking I worked out. Though I do think there is a better way but its beyond my ability, I think it would be better to just link the hardware buttons directly the media\system volume instead of linking the ringer volume to the media\system. I would believe that however minor the streak is wasting precious cycles switching between ringer and media when launching applications for having just a streak-7-wifi.
Anyway, cheers! Thanks again giveen, abex181, and jivy26.
Feel free to close thread.
