I need verification that audio out does, or does not work with the included music player. I am getting conflicting reports that the tw music player may be needed.
Tried it on stock music player, video and pandora.
No audio comes out on external speakers.
Also noticed there is no option in settings for "dock settings"
which I've seen before in previous versions.
I haven't tried super clean 2.7, but I remember in one of the previous versions, the modified Samsung Car dock has a button that resembled the audio out button in the TW music app. The button in the car dock app didn't do anything. I was able to get audio out using the TW music player.
I can re-test this if you want - just let me know which specific super clean version and I'll give it a go. I'll have to do some reading on 2.7 though... looks like it uses a newer CWM? I'm not on that yet.

I thought at first that speaker button on music app is for speaker mute.
Thanks for info, I re-tested and confirming that audio works on external speaker.
I'm on 2.7v.
There are to version of Car Dock out there
The original version only works with Samsung Music Player and a modified version works with ASOP music player.
With the first one, you have the speaker button the cardock to enable and disable the external sound. You have the same button on Samsung Music Player
With the modified version, you only have it on the cardock. The cardock has to be on the foreground for that sound to work. If you exit it, it stop working. If you launch an app infront of it, it stop working.
I just use the Samsung music player for the audio out button...I honestly think it's better. However, before that, I was using Power Amp Pro. It would work by starting PowerAmp, pressing home to go to the car dock app, then click the aux out button. From there, you can long press home and select your music app and the audio will still play through the speakers.
there are only two ways to get the audio out of the car dock. trhe sammy car dock has the blue mute button. if you want to use another car dock you have to use the sammy music player. in the now playing screen there is a phone button, push it.
Got a car dock. Audio out works once you toggle the speaker icon. (Initially, I thought it was "mute", as have others.)
Success with other apps relates directly to car dock mode, but can work. For example, launching Pandora will play through phone's speaker, but once car dock is brought forward, it will play through audio out. You can then use notification bar to bring Pandora forward again so you can interact with it. Other apps are similarly squirrely, but can also work.
Forgot to mention: currently on SC2.8.

Alright, so this is a bit of a mystery to me. I'm rocking a Sprint Epic4G with the latest Gingerbread leak, although there's nothing that appears to be device-specific (maybe, that why I'm noting the device just in case ).
I have bluetooth enabled all the time and my phone is paired for both headset and multimedia with my car stereo. When I get in the car and hit the play button on the head unit, it randomly decides whether to launch Google Music or Music Player. I can deduce no pattern to which is capturing the AVRCP button press whatsoever.
I would prefer to always launch Music Player (lag is too high to make Google Music useful in the car) but I can't find any settings related to what goes one there.
Any thought folks?
I have a similar question for AVRCP on Google Music...
I have a Motorola Triumph (running CM7) and stream music via Bluetooth to my Sony DSX-S300BTX head unit in my car. The quality and consistency of the audio is flawless and can also use my head unit to change tracks and pause/play music with no issue. I recently began using Google Music on my PC and it made sense to use the Android app for accessibility purposes. The only drawback I have experienced is that the artist and song title info is no longer shown on my car stereo. This functionality worked perfectly using my previous phone (WP7 LG Quantum w/ Zune Pass) and on my current Triumph with the stock music app packaged with any version of CM7. I download and listen to quite a bit of new music and this functionality is pretty much a must have feature for my primary music app.
Does anyone know of a fix/hack for this issue? The only workaround I have thought of would be to sync music via the Google Music app and then listen to it via the stock music app. This is less than ideal due to the fact it involves 2 apps and takes away the option to stream music not downloaded to my phone. Also, the Google Music app has a much nicer UI compared to the stock app. If you don't know of a specific fix, but have some knowledge of A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles and could point me in the right direction as to what all goes into making this work, that would be awesome.
I've a suggestion, most of the Sony headset has aux in, so you can buy an aux in cable in shop, it is quite cheap, I get my 3 metre cable for about Rm3.50 ~2us$. The output quality of the sound should be good compared with Bluetooth. You won't be able to change track via headset, only phone. If you want a great quality, it is a good choice

It has an auxiliary input, as well as 2 USB inputs, but I definitely do not want to use a wired connection. I considered mounting a Nook Color in my car using the aux input and purchasing a head unit that focused purely on audio quality since the Nook would be the central control mechanism by design. The big reason I bought the Sony head unit was for the excellent Bluetooth integration. I don't want to mess with wires, worry about carry a thumb drive with music on it, or worry about constantly updating the flash drive with new music. My current setup is exactly what I envisioned except for the track info problem which I am almost certain is app/phone specific. If I can just get this last little thing figured out I will have everything I want out of my set up. Information regarding this issue seems to be pretty spotty, so any input would be appreciated.
same issue
I have the same issue with my 2012 Volvo and my Sony Arc. While streaming with my 2 year old blackberry it will show the song info text in the car stereo but with my Sony Arc it just says "streaming". The skipping of songs back and forth works fine with the car controls although it seems for both phones you cannot scroll the song menu in the phone like you would with a USB stick or play random.
Did you find a work around to this?
I have 2011 Ford Focus and my wife's phone (SG2) streams track info, yet her old HTC Desire nor my HTC Desire HD dont. I have tried heaps of roms. Is it a hardware limitation?
I love CM7 as far as speed, options, and customization are concerned, but there is a feature that I cannot get around, and wanted to know if anyone in this group dealt with it. When I use the car dock, the car dock app spawns (great so far). I can then make calls or listen to music, but when I use a non-standard music app (in my case the Amazon Cloud Player), the music will continue to silently play when I am on a phone call. When the call ends, the music will then come out of the phone speakers rather than the car speakers until I undock then re-dock. When I use Blur based ROMs the music pauses while I am on the phone, and then restarts through the speakers when my call ends, so I do not believe that this is a hardware issue.
Here are the problems that I would like to solve.
1) In CM7 ROMs, how can I get a Play Store music app to pause the music when I take a phone call, and
2) How can I ensure that the music app remains playing through my car stareo system once the call is done?
Big thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.
I'm running stock rom and recently took the update to 4.1.1 (3.16.651.3 710RD) and the behavior of my headphone controls has changed. I have only DoubleTwist free installed. I have headphone control enabled via Home -> Settings -> Player Settings -> Use headset controls = on.
Single press mostly works fine to start/stop, but two clicks both advances to the next song *and* calls my most recently called contact.
In addition, sporadically, a single press will start the built-in Sprint Music player (in all apps, it's just called Music) instead of DoubleTwist.
I've hunted in vain for some sort of general phone headphone controls settings, or headphone related settings in the Sprint music player. I haven't found any. Is there a way to stop the competition/split usage of my headphone controls between the phone/Sprint music player?
Thanks for any tips/suggestions. Happy to provide additional information.
I upgraded my phone to the stock Android Lollipop build using Samsung Kies. I previously had my phone rooted. Everything works great with my phone under the new OS, except for something that I use very frequently - playing my music from my phone in my car over bluetooth. This is a feature I use daily, and now it has been crippled.
When I play music on my phone, connected to my aftermarket car stereo via bluetooth, the song information no longer shows up on my car stereo. Also, when trying to use my controls (face of the head unit, or the steering wheel controls), it does nothing (skipping tracks, etc.).
I am using the stock music player. Any help would be great, or even knowing that this problem exists outside of my phone would also make me feel better.
Having similar issues.
Audio controls work, but track data isn't working. Only samsung/google player are working properly with metadata.
Spotify, Pandora, and Soundcloud are not transfering audio track names at all.
Same here, I have a Kenwood DDX-418 and I can change tracks with the on screen buttons but do not get display. Maybe pull old kit Kat stock player and push to lollipop
