When listening to music (I've tried several apps) in the car using A2DP and getting turn by turn navigation I have an issue with the muting. It only happens when using bluetooth. The map app mutes the music when needed but I get no sound (directions) for about 3 seconds. I may hear the very end of the directions or not, depends on how long it takes. It seems Google Map knows to mute the music but that is also mutes the map app for a while.
This worked perfectly on my S2. This is a bone stock SM-900A
Ideas?
UPDATE: after OTA update the problem is gone using Google player.

Hello everyone,
I have a pioneer deh-p980bt car stereo that I've been using with many different phones to listen to music streaming over bt. I haven't been able to get my samsung captivate to connect for media streaming, but it will connect for voice.
Has anyone else had any similar fixes? I've tried many different roms hoping one would fix this problem, but haven't had any success...
Thanks

Andy775, You may have already tried this but i'll just throw it out there. I have paired multiple A2DP BT devices to my phone before and I have gotten them all to work just fine. However, there were a few times when I paired them that audio music did not play through the BT device but only voice calls worked. I realized that my player did not have the correct audio output settings. I am not sure what music player you are using but are you using the stock music player that comes with the captivate?
Using the stock media player, open up the settings menu and make sure it the top row, center icon does not say "Via Bluetooth" while playing the song. Sometimes, the audio does not automatically switch to bluetooth output so you have to manually change it....dont know why. Right now, I am playing music to my BT device and the icon says "Via Phone" which means I can switch the audio output to my phone instead of the BT device (obvious but bleh).
Aside from that, I don't know how else to help you sorry. You could also try erasing the BT profile from the phone and rebinding it as well and see if that fixes the problem. Maybe the audio profile for BT streaming did not sync up correctly to your phone.
I am now using stock ROM with the latest update from AT&T. I have also used Cog's 2.1 ROMs as well and didnt have a problem.
I recently went with an HTC One and while I'm loving the device I've gotten quite spoiled with the car integration of the iphone. My phone is connected via bluetooth to my car audio system. Makes and receives calls fine. Plays out of the "Music" app fine.
But getting beyond that is incredibly annoying. The Music app just wants to play whenever i go to the bluetooth input and getting it to play something else is sometimes impossible. Starting spotify sometimes gets me spotify audio, and sometimes I get stuck in a loop where my car's audio is "paused" and spotify is playing on my phone. I tried to use my phone to stream slingbox audio over bluetooth today and simply couldn't accomplish this, every time i went to bluetooth the music app would start and the slingbox feed would get disconnected. Same behavior with WatchESPN.
On an iphone, the audio is all piped through the same thing and multiple audio feeds can't play, so this would be as simple to fix as double tapping the home screen and going to the airplay like icon and selecting the right output if for some reason it wasn't playing a particular app's audio over bluetooth.
Is there an app or any change I can make that will allow me to control which application is sending the audio over bluetooth? Can I disable the music app just taking over whenever I connect my car? Any other ideas I haven't thought of?
Are you using the car mode system? Go into the car app, go to settings (tap on the bottom middle), and make sure to turn off all the auto-music and such.
No, would I be able to control sling player in that mode?
Similar Issue! Bluetooth works only with Google Music App
I have a similar issue. Bluetooth pairs well with my stereo, and if I use the Google Music App all is great. I get great sound and track information. On all other apps (pandora, spotify, tunein Radio) the app shows that my music is playing but there is no sound coming from the car audio. The strange part is...when I play on Google music, then hit play on Spotify, spotify will play my track for a few seconds before the sound goes away. The track is still playing in the app though. Has anyone else encountered this?

Has definitely happened to me on more than one occasion. I've really only "fixed" it by restarting phone and car and hoping for the best.
iPhone market penetration and awareness has driven ICE integration to the exclusion of other brands.
Lack of similar joined up Android integration is the only thing stopping me going mechless in the car.
Until then, CD.

Yes I've encountered this in my 2011 Sienna. Yep I'm one of those spoiled by how well iOS handled audio through Bluetooth. I haven't tried Spotify, but I did try pandor and tunein and got the exact same results as you, with Google Music being the only player that works. I just transferred some music from my iTunes library and will try playing music through the native music app.
This won't be a dealbreaker for me but man do I miss how seamlessley iOS handled this. At least the steering wheel controls seem to work with Google Music, allowing me to jump to the next track.

So bluetooth streaming works fine for the native music player and I can go back and forth between Google Music and the native player and it streams fine via bluetooth. Still doesn't work with Pandora.

Thanks in advanced

I am experiencing the same. Google music and google play stream perfectly. Maps(Navigation), Spotify, TED, Youtube have no speaker output, car speakers or otherwise.
In the same car I've previously been using a Galaxy S2 with all the above apps streaming via bluetooth just fine.
Anyone any ideas...?
Edit. I've tried everything but looks like this is a known issue with 4.1.2 jellybean. 4.2 update on its way within a month I hear.
Here's the workaround that I discovered in androidforums. I can confirm that it works with my AT&T HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.
Just got an OTA update but no 4.2 yet. Bluetooth is still broken (unless you use Google music)

I have a 2013 Honda Pilot and whenever I stream music from my HTC One via Bluetooth, it will "pause" the music player. This happens all the time. It might go a few songs before it happens or will pause multiple times during a song.
Hi. Ever since I updated to kit Kat, when I'm playing music via Bluetooth through my car speakers, if I turn off my car, the phone will keep playing music through the phone speakers rather than just turning off music playback. Does anyone know a work around? Didn't find appropriate settings in Walkman and Bluetooth settings.
I had this same problem intermittently with my old Optimus p920. I never did find out what the problem was.

Turning off your car does disable your car bluetooh? If not then the pairing bluetooh is still on so your phone can't know when you car is turned off.
Same with me
I have the same problem, really annoying. The other car/bluetooth problem i have is when someone calls me the music stops but when the call ends, the music doesn't start, i have to manualy start the player again.
Reg. Bluetooth Audio -
I am having an issue, likely not related to Malladus, but could be. I use my phone in my car for bluetooth phone AND Audio. Audio being the key here.
Phone is working fine. Audio, will not work with anything except the stock "Music" app. I enjoy using DoubleTwist audio player, but nothing works to get it to play through the stereo. When I bring up the music app, it works fine, when I try to play through DoubleTwist, nothing happens. The stock toyota stereo shows my phone connected, audio enabled, the phone shows a track playing, but no audio is coming through. But if I load up the default music app, it starts working fine.
This has worked fine on AOSP roms before due to the fact that there is no "default" bluetooth stack player. I've read around, and the ROM is prioritizing the stock Music app. So I went and remove the Music app with root, now no audio will play except phone calls.
I am SURE someone has run into this. Is there a fix I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can play music fine from the stock KK leak to my Motorola T605 with Google Music and Dsub. Try a different rom and rule out if it's a Malladus problem or not.
I'm listening to google music over bluetooth headset and receive a notification (via enhanced caller ID app) that's supposed to use the TTS engine. The music is dimmed but no voice is output. I tried to test the text to speech in settings, and nothing happens if music is playing (not even a dimming of sound). However, as soon as I pause the music, the TTS test works (I hear the voice).
Is there any way to force google music (lollipop?) play the speech/notification sound during music playback? I've tried various sound mixers and settings in lollipop, but can't get this to work.
Wow, I have a very similar situation.

I'm listening to Pandora through a Bluetooth audio system in my car, A notification comes in, (via enhanced SMS and caller ID app) and Pandora shuts down as it should and Enhanced asks me if I would like it to read the message, when I respond with yes, An error comes up on the screen that say something like this, Bluetooth Sharing has stopped. When Pandora comes back on it no longer plays through audio system just the phone speakers, even though bluetooth radio says they are still connected. When I turn Bluetooth off and on again, it still will only play through phone speakers. The only fix I have found is to shut down the Nexus and allow it to boot fresh, then everything is fine until the next notification arrives, the problem begins all over. Wrote ED a letter about this, He's the creator of Enhanced Caller ID and has always responded to me. So I'm waiting to see what he says, but I have used this program on my last four phones without any issues. I think it is yet another Lollipop issue. Not happy about it and hope the next update may address it. My money says that it has something to do with the screen being off, so tomorrow I'm going to have someone send me texts while I'm paired with car and keep the screen on while streaming Pandora and see if I get different results. Somehow I think it is related to the NFC security feature that will not let you use NFC unless screen is on and unlocked. Just a guess on my part, but I bet that is where the problem lies.
Found my issue. Using viper4android in compatible mode causes issues when two sources attempt to play together. Turned off viper and sounds over music playing worked again.
