[Q] Music and notifications - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Couldn't find this elsewhere so, if I'm listening to music (either via Walkman app or Google Music) through my headphones and get a text, it will lower the music and play the notification tone. I wouldn't mind but if I put the phone in silent/vibrate so I can listen to my music without interruption it simply lowers the audio AND not play the notification sound which is pointless.
So basically is there anyway to stop notifications interfering with my music volume? The only suggestions I could find were silent/vibrate but like I say, doesn't seem to help. Stupid thing is if it's on loudspeaker and I have it on silent it doesn't interfere.

I don't think the Walkman app has that setting.

[Q] Disable headset controls for Music Mod (but not other music players)

Is there a way to disable headset controls in the version of Music Mod that's currently incorporated into CM6.1-RC1?
Music Mod is cool and all, but I prefer PowerAMP and Music Mod sometimes intercepts headset controls when I actually want to start PowerAMP.
I've looked high and low through system settings and CyanogenMod settings, and can't seem to find a settings menu within Music Mod itself. Is there a simple solution that I'm overlooking?
do you mean like if you use the controls on the headset instead of controlling your current app triggers the default music player installed as stock on the android (not sure if Music Mod is stock... i just know it as Music)? because i have the same problem! ill be using pandora and the pause/play triggers either Music.apk or Winamp and its really annoying.
Yeah dude, that sounds like exactly the problem I'm having! Here's hoping the XDA brain trust can help us out :]
I have the same issue while using Pandora! Hope there's a fix?
Not that it helps this specific problem, but go to now playing, then menu>more>settings for settings.

[Q] System sounds overrides (i.e. kills) other media sounds

(Sorry if this already has been posted somewhere else)
When I listen to music, an audio book or some other media, that media is muted while a notification sound (e-mail, etc) sounds. This is - of course - very annoying since the movie, audio book is interrupted (but not stopped).
On my HTC Desire the music kept playing also when a notification sound was playing.
Is there some way to make the notification sounds play at the same time as other audio streams?
Hi there,
I use PowerAMP, and this issue didn't appeared to me yet.
When I receive a message or something, I just hear the ringtone softly through my music.

Seems like the sound issue is based on how each app uses the notification sounds.
Some apps does use the same "audio-channel" as my music player, and that interrupts/pauses the music. Other apps uses some other audio-channel and notifications though those apps executes their softly through my music.
It doesn't mather what ROM etc you are using.
I just have to live with this.

[Q] Music Volume (speakers)

(I accidentally posted to the wrong forum this morning (Butterfly Q&A) which is why I'm reposting it here, mods.)
Just got my One yesterday and I have an extensive music library stored with Google Music. As you have to use their app to play streamed music stored on their service, I noticed that even with maximum volume settings, it is not playing as loud as I hoped through the speakers. Headphone volume is fine and also other apps like YouTube play loud so it's not apparently the phone, but apparently limitations in the Play Music app? It makes no difference with beats on or off and yes, I have maximum volume set for "media and music" in settings plus the volume rocker on the phone is set to max. Does anyone know of an app I can use with Play Music to increase the sound when using the speakers and has anyone else noticed this?
i use poweramp try that

Thanks for the suggestion jay and I've used Poweramp before and it works good. The only problem is that you're forced to use Google's "Play Music" app to play your music stored on their servers AFAIK. I guess I can just transfer some to the phone outright and use poweramp.

Is there a way to prevent music from pausing during navigation?

I was surprised that rather than attenuating music playback the One pauses music when Waze or Google Navy is announcing an upcoming turn.

Not sure on that one, it might be app specific. For instance, last time I was listening to Pandora and navigating, the phone simply turned down the volume on the music while the navigator was talking. In the HTC Music app, it muted the music but it kept playing(annoying, since I was listening to an audio book...) and in Google Play Music, it would pause it.
unremarked is correct. I use PowerAmp and theres an option to pause the music or play the notification along with the music and thats what i use. I prefer the way iOS handles it though. The music goes lower while the notification sound plays. But i haven't found a way to make it work that way.

So this morning I got into the car and continued to stream music to my device via Google Music. I needed to make an unplanned detour so I fired up Waze to calculate a quick route avoiding traffic. Much to my delight the music I was streaming attenuated when Waze spoke, just like it used to do on my iPhone. I was so jazzed and my kids were probably wondering why. So at the next light I switched to the HTC player and no dice. Same behavior as before, muting/pausing music whenever Waze spoke directions. Finally I decided to try Pandora (which I haven't been able to stream to my car in the week I've had the One) and not only did Pandora play through the car speakers, it too attenuated when Waze spoke. I haven't tried this with Google Nav.
So what's changed since yesterday? Well I booted into Safe Mode (per HTC rep's suggestion) to troubleshoot a bluetooth volume issue and that didn't do anything other than remove some of my folders on one of my home panels. That bluetooth volume issue is a separate issue and it was not resolved through Safe Booting the device. Also, it appears there was an update to Google Music so that may have resolved the music pausing issue. Either way, I'm not sure what I did or what happened to the device to fix this behavior but I'm very happy to experience this expected behavior between music (except for the HTC native player) and nav.

Question Bluetooth sound pauses

Theres an issue I am facing that when playing a media for example in whatsapp listening to voice message if a message is received the sound stops in Bluetooth earbuds for a second while voice message keeps playing. Is there a way to fix this issue ? Same happens in youtube when you receive message.
I bellive you're talking about a feature not a bug. If so it's not an issue, it's a setting. Go to settings>sound and vibration>sound assistant and toggle Multipple sound sources on. Keep in mind that I just tried to translate the settings' names so they might not be exact. Look for something similiar.

No it didn't worked still getting sound pauses.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
It's about music player.
Spotify didn't pause music but lower volume for hearing notification sound.
Onkyo pause music and continue after notification sound.
