Headset / Lockscreen Audio Controls

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.

Have you tried long-pressing the volume up or down buttons while the screen is off?

yeah, I have that option set in the CM settings but that just raises and lowers my volume.

To add some info to the issue, I've been trying some alternate music players to no avail. So I'm figuring the problem has something to do with the os not passing the input commands to the audio apps...

Well after another cclean install I stopped the Google auto restoration of apps and started adding my apps back manually and found the problem to be with stitched radio. I'm going to send a message to the dev so he can fix the problem.

[Q] not mapping vol button to ringer

Hi,
Do you think it's possible to map the vol+/- button to media volume instead of ringer volume when you're on home screen?
thank you

It should automatically switch to media volume when media is playing. What exactly are you trying to do?

Somtimes i want to lower the media volume before starting a game.. wish just using buttons could do it!

It can be a pain...
I use Audio Manager. It's an app, not hardware, but it works...

Another option: I use Volumer++. You can have it live right in the status bar. Volume keys are remapped to MENU and BACK.

Not the answer to your question, but this app is very cool, and you can select the volumes to control. I find it much easier to manage volumes than using Volumer or Audio Manager.

I forgot that audiomnager exist, i will give it a try.
Thank

I too am interested if anyone has found a solution to this. I have no need for my Nook's volume keys to do anything with ringer volume. I would love to be able to remap these for media volume exclusively.

Volume keys skip music track on ICS

Hello everyone!
Before i begin, i wanna apologize if this question has already been answered, i'm new and not so good in searching.
Anyway, before TeamHacksung's ICS i've been using GalnetMiui, and a mod called Skip Volume Track, which basically changed the track using longpress of volume buttons without lighting up the screen.
There is a similar feature in PlayerPro music player, but it lights up the screen which won't shut down afterwards because of the contact with my leg through the pocket, so screen just keeps being on.
Do you have any suggestions, mods, advices or aplications which emulates this feature?
Thanks!

As of now there are none. Wait for the full implementation of CM9. Maybe that would bring some new features.

Then we wait. I just found this news, so maybe that feature will arrive with it:

Headphones to switch songs with custom rom

I just recently switched from an iPhone 5 to an Sprint HTC One and flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.2 onto it, the headphones work to switch songs but they do not work to turn the volume up or down. I have tried long presses on it, I am using the Apple Earpods, I am willing to switch headphones if some work for volume + and volume -. Also does anyone know any other custom roms besides CM that work with song switching, anyone that has viperrom or any other custom rom that can tell me? I have tried the apps like Headset Controller and JAYS on the stock rom and they did not work as well as CM did, any advice is appreciated thanks!

There's a setting in there somewhere. I forget exactly. On PACROM, it's under lockscreen settings. Check around, you should find it.

I found settings for long press back button and long press home button but not for headset options, and those two options do not increase or decrease volume. Thanks though.

[Q] How to change the music lockscreen button function?

I have my s5 mini for just a month and when I started using it, I was really pleased with the lock screen when playing music. There was a play/pause button and forward and back button. With the forward and back button I could swap between songs. But about 2 weeks ago the function changed and the forward and back buttons are now used to change the volume. This is really disappointing because I can simply change the volume with the hardware volume buttons on my phone, and if I want to go to the next or previous song, instead of just simply doing so from the lock screen I have to unlock my phone and do it there. Is there a way to tweak the settings of music lock screen? I have gone through all the settings and I don't seem to find anything. Please help!

I don't know how to return them back, just to say that I have the last firmware and the buttons are still present and work, so it will probably be related to some setting you made.
Did you make any changes to the music player or something like that?
(btw did you know that by double clicking the play/pause button on headphones you can skip the song also)

Well, I use Rocket Player. It's definitely the best music player I know. And yeah, I know about headphones (with Rocket player I can even go to previous song by clicking two times and go forward by clicking three times) but still I would love to have this function on the lock screen too. I have changed the settings of Rocket Player to fit my personal preferences. But I have never changed the lock screen buttons settings. All I have found there in the settings of Rocket Player is the look of Lockscreen and I have tried all of them, nothing changes the function.
