Hi all,
There is a bug with the phone since i bought it.
When im on the bus and listen to music, the phone is in vibration mode.
There is no problem till im using and listening music at the same time.
If im chating on any client, gtalk, face messenger etc. and i recive an answer notification the music stop playing or reduces the volume in the headset, and continues on the speakers for a few seconds, then goes back to normal. But its really annoying for me, and i think for the people around me.
I thought its a poweramp bug, but get it with the stock player too. Havent tried any other yet.
Its an international i9300, with stock 4.0.4 LH1, unrooted. Still waiting for jb.
Does anyone have this bug, or knows a solution for it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I installed this MOD and it's working fine but when SMS are coming the application for 3 seconds pauze the music which is very annoying :/
is there a way to avoid app pausing the music when SMS comes? I understand when someone call then ok it should pause the music but when SMS comes constantly it's annoying that at each time the music pause :/

I think this may be a Samsung generic problem, but does anyone know if there is a way to stop notifications interrupting music playback without having to mute the phone? Really annoying having to do this every time.

I have exactly the same problem - it was not an issue when I was on the HTC One (M7). The S6 is a lovely phone, but I really want control over this.
The fix I have at the moment is the "Don't Pause" app, which detects when you are listening to music and puts the phone on vibrate, but what I really want is a subtle audio notification which does not pause the music or interrupt my podcast.

Thanks for the tip. Yeh, I'm coming from an M8 and it used to just play the notification over the top of the music which was fine as you usually couldn't even hear it anyway. I'll check out that app.
Thanks!
Seems to me like a software feature. Using the stock music player, notifications would pause the playback of music and then resume after. I didn't like this behavior either. I started using Poweramp. It has a "Short Audio Focus Change" option that I turn off. Now my notifications play over top of music.

I also come from HTC and this issue is driving me nuts. Even when notifications are muted my device is pausing when I use Google Messenger to SEND a text message. I've no idea why sending a message would cause my music player (Spotify) to pause briefly.
The same when I use my watch's "ok Google" feature - the music on my phone stops playing... that makes no sense to me. Why would the "ok google" feature of the watch pause the music on my phone while listening?
This also happens on Google Play Music. Really annoying.

If you use Lightflow, you may be able to do this by setting up your app notifications in Lightflow and then selecting "Audio Focus Ignored" in the Labs tab in Lightflow and it may fix it.
I know it worked on my Nexus 5 but I'm unsure whether it will work on the S6. It's worth a try if you're already using Lightflow for LED control.
More people are joining...and the plot thickens:silly:

Disable the outgoing sound in the settings of Google messenger to get rid of that issue.. But as for the rest, I've learned to live with it.

Sent from my Galaxy S6 Edge
This is the most annoying thing ever about the Samsung S6. I just got it recently having switched from a One Plus One. Now I remember why I left Samsung before. This has been a recurring issue since the S1. On top of that, the audio notifications seem to be delayed and come after the vibration i.e. phone vibrates then and then the sound comes when a notification occurs.
Has anyone also experienced when headphones are plugged in with music playing and a notification occurs, the headphones cut off and music plays from the speakers?? This is especially frustrating when I'm on the bus or a quiet place.
Samsung really needs to fix this annoying issue.
hello everyone, i also was going through this annoying problem but for me i found the best solution on my galaxy s6, when im listening to my music . I went to settings clicked "sounds and notifications" then clicked "do not disturb" and turned it on . then scroll down on exeptions and u can turn off alarm , calls, messages . The cool thing is the notifications go throw u can see your notification light blinking and with no interruptions and once you stop listening to your music turn off "do not disturb" and everything back to normal. To me its the easy way on my galaxy s6 with out downloading extra apps and it works great ...
Hope it helped you guys out and can enjoy your music without any interruptions
Just to say "me too!". Sooooo annoying when listening to music or audio books. Can we some how let Samsung know about this?

I use Tasker to put my phone into "do not disturb" mode when my headphones are plugged in. I had it set up to go silent when I had my music app open before and found the headphone thing to be more effective. I haven't tried to just make it quieter, but it's probably possible.
Something to mess around with. Plus, Tasker does a ton of other cool stuff. Totally worth the $3 for the level of automation they offer.

Thank you that's been annoying the hell out of me but have changed settings now thank you! ?
This issue is still not resolved I take it? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn that crap off on my A3. I'm using Google Music.
When I listen to music the only thing that should interrupt is high priority communication. Basicly just phone calls and emergency/gouvernmental alerts. Evertything else is low-priority communications and won't ever take precedence over my music but I don't want to turn the notifications off completely.
The guy who figures having random whatsapp messages disturb your music experience obviously doesn't use his phone for listening to music while participating in several Whatsapp groups.
Hii everyone
I was facing same issue in Mi Max MIUI 8 running android MM.
I started using music folder player 2.1.4
preferences->behavior->handle audio focus->choose ignore audio focus.
Music didnt pause by incoming msgs (text,whatsapp, mails, etc).
Thanks.
Please share ur experience.

Wow you solved this for me after years of looking for a solution! Thanks!
For anyone interested, in Poweramp, go to Settings > Audio > Audio Focus and uncheck "Short Audio Focus Change"
Uconnect/ Bluetooth devices
I FOUND A FIX.
For me, using the Uconnect setup incoming sms message announcement did NOT work. It works ONLY for when you are listening to the radio. I like to use my music apps on my phone like Apple Music and like other people, Samsung Milk Music or others and when listening to this I would still get the extremely frustrating "New SMS message from (insert name) press uconnect phone button to..." blah blah and whenever I hit cancel to escape that long interrupt it would take 10 seconds to get back to my music and sometimes it would pause my music and while driving you cant simply go back in and play it. I figited with EVERYTHING. I tried the uconnect manual, I tried to disable notifications for both my message+ app I use and Apple Music and neither worked but the answer was much more simple than I thought. Here it is: go to your settings that has all the options like wifi, airplane mode etc... tap your bluetooth option and it should pull up not only the uconnect you have paired but all the otger bluetooth things you have paired. Next to it is a gear icon. Tap on that and it will appear all the thing uconnect has access to like media audio (music, videos) call audio, contact access and MESSAGE ACCESS. TURN THAT OFF. THIS WILL STOP INTERRUPTIONS DURING YOUR MUSIC APPS AND SUCH.
I have not used this with other bluetooth devices but it worked for my car and I hope it works for you too.
Hello everyone !, I have the following problem, when I am listening to music through bluethood in my car or headphones and I receive a call, at the end of it, it continues to play the music but it is not listening, this happens to me with the Spotify app. Has it happened to any of you? Do you know how to fix it ?, because the only thing I can do is restart the phone. Thank you
Sorry for my basic english.
please if you can move it to the questions area ... I got confused .. sorry
I'm on Android 9 and I've been trying to use the Youtube app to listen to music as I run deliveries for my business. I'm active on social media in between deliveries so I get frequent notifications, but getting notifications while I'm on the road listening to music is frustrating because the notifications lower my music volume for a second or two and completely throw off my groove! I understand WHY it does this, because as a communication device my phone's intent is to keep me updated on people messaging me, but I'd rather it just play the notification sound WITH the audio instead of trying to MAKE DAMN SURE I heard it.
I don't want to simply turn on Do Not Disturb mode or lower my notification volume as I still want to be able to receive notifications, especially phone calls if my boss rings me, I just want the music to keep playing as I get them.
I've looked through Android's and Youtube's app settings and been unable to find a solid solution to disabling the audio ducking effect, and browsed tons of other forums before coming back here to XDA since I remember having great success with you guys on another much older issue.
I came across an app called Don't Pause! during my searches which apparently solved the audio ducking issue for a lot of people flat-out, but it is no longer on the Play Store and I found an untrustworthy APK download of it that I didn't want to bother with. It's probably too old for Android 9 anyway.
TL;DR Can I get some straight-up solution to disabling the audio ducking effect (either completely, through Android, or locally for just Youtube at least) or an app similar in simple function to the old Don't Pause! app?
Don't Pause ( by XDA-member tpierce89 ) is available here.

God bless you this is the absolute best solution I could have hoped for. I knew coming here was a great idea. Gonna go one up tpierce's post too!
That app unfortunately doesn't fix the problem with audio ducking. I'm searching for a solution that really disables audio ducking, so that my music doesn't get lowered with every notification and every voice or music feedback of other apps (workout apps etc.).
Any ideas how to really disable audio ducking?
I just want to hear any notification and other audio feedback when I'm listening to music without my music volume getting lowered.
