[Q] Music will not 'un-mute' - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am unable to post in the Ressurection 1.1 thread so I am asking here.
I am having problem with the new ROM, when I play a music file, be it in Music or Winamp, I get an text message or phone call, the music mutes but doesn't auto un-mute - I have to reboot to get music back playing
Has anybody come across this?
Cheers
Josh

use vol keys to unmute
Works on cm9

Not for me it doesn't. As of the 0402 build of CM9 the volume rocker refuses to unmute music/podcasts after a notification.

[Q] Sound Goes Out While Playing Music

Ok, I've searched on google for a hour, but everyone else is having issues playing music when pushing the power button. My issue is that music stops playing, period. I'll leave my phone playing music, (screen on or off) but music stops playing. WMP, TCPMP, doesn't matter. The music bar is still going, but no sound is coming from my phone. Sometimes it's after one song, sometimes it's after several. I've flashed different roms, even one I cooked myself, same issue. I have to soft reset to get music playback working again, but after a few songs the sound goes out again. The weird part is that the sound works for all other programs or when I'm using BT headset. Example: WMP sound goes out while playing a song, I close WMP and open TCPMP, no sound either, but Need for Speed Shift sounds just fine, and the BT headset works too! WTF?! Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S
Not sure if I'm even posting this in the right place. If so, then I apologize. Help me get this post to someone who can assist with this problem. I can't be the only one who's seen this issue.
Well dude I have the same problem. It seems your post is too old and noone is going to anwser you. I do apologize I will make new thread and I hope you've already solved your problem.

[Q] Weird Ringtone issue

I have a LG Optimus T509 and I have flashed it with CM7
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0+RC1-Thunderg-KANG
Kernel: 2.6.32.42-franco.kernel.v18
Suddenly I am facing a weird issue with my ring tones, I set my ringtone to "Cassiopeia" originally. Since yesterday, even if i try to change my ringtone in the sound application it plays the sound "Club Cubano" when i select any of the ringtones in the phone. Same track over and over and over again.
I tried changing the ringtone from the profiles and there too the same issue. Interestingly, the phone doesnt ring to "Club Cubano" which it plays while testing the ring tones from sound setting. It plays something else.
Is there a fix for this / Is this a known issue?
I have similar problem with my P500. Not sure when it started, already a while ago, didn't have time to deal with that earlier.
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Thunderg-KANG
Kernel: 2.6.32.42-franco.kernel.v18
I noticed that phone wasn't playing the ringtone (a mp3 file in the Music folder on SD card) it should. Ringotne in the Sound settings seemed correct. When I tried to change it to anything else it still played the same song.
Another weird thing is that if caller hang up before I pick up the phone ringing music stops and another track starts playing as if music player continues playing the song which was interrrupted. It stops when I press anything on the screen (if locked have to unlock first).
I tried renaming those to music files and then I got some generic rigtone. So for now I renamed the second music file and sticking with the unchangeable ringtone. Fortunately the song is OK, but still the issue is damn annoying...
Any ideas how to fix this?

No headset phone conversation on CM10

Hey guys, ever since I installed the almighty Cyanogen Mod 10 (which I LOVE) I've been having this strange issue. when I plug in my headphones (that also have a mic and a button on them) they work fine to play music, I can use the button to skip songs, etc.. and I can even use the mic for text input with my voice, but for some reason, as soon as I try to have a phone conversation with them they stop working.
Anybody else had that experience?

[Q] Google Navigation keeps turning media volume down

Hey, everyone! This is my first post here, so be gentle.
I'm having some trouble with Google Navigation on my SGS3 from US Cellular. Now, I understand that the volume has been merged together with the media volume, and that's not really my issue.
When I enter Google Navigation, the media volume reads correctly. (I jacked it up to full volume just to test this out. It reads full volume when I start GN.) But when a turn-by-turn direction reads, the volume is really low. If I hit the volume up button during the TTS directions, it shows that the media volume is set very low. I can turn it up while the direction is speaking, and the media volume does increase. But the next time a direction begins saying something, it's quiet and the volume is reset really low again. I have to keep turning the volume up for each turn-by-turn direction!
When I exit GN, the media volume is back to full blast again, just as it was before I entered the app. So, it's obviously something GN is doing. I just don't get why it won't remember my volume setting when I turn it up.
Any ideas as to why it's doing this? Any thoughts on how to fix this issue? I did a bunch of searching and couldn't find anything that completely fits my problem description.
ETA: I tested this again, and it's only a problem if I have a media player fired up. I use n7. When it kills the volume for the media player, it does so for the navigation, too.
Unfortunately, even if I close n7, the volume is still ruined until I stop and restart my Bluetooth connection. If I start Bluetooth and run navigation without the media player, tts works fine.
Apparently the audio issue where it keeps turning my volume down is only when it's not connected to Bluetooth in my car.
do you even use google navigation? if not just disable it in setings

Well, it's difficult to use it when Navigation keeps messing up my audio. The phone is still pretty new to me. I just got it in January. I'd like to use it as my GPS, but I'm not going to go for a long drive without playing any music in my car. And I'm not going to just use GN anyway, when I'm likely to blow past my next turn because the audio directions don't work properly.
Why would I bother to ask the question if I don't use (or, in this case, want to use) Navigation? It's like you're implying that I'm asking about something I won't bother using anyway.
My workaround for this issue
I have the same issue; both music and nav volume drops during voice turn by turn instructions. I found the media volume is being turned from full to half during the nav/voice output. I use Volume Ace and it has a feature to "lock media volume". I check this box and now when a turn by turn instruction plays the nav/voice speaks at full volume (the media volume setting is no longer reduced to half during voice output) though the music is also playing at full volume in the background. Hope this helps.

That helps a lot. Thanks! I'll have to give this a try and see if it works on my phone.
Do you have to set the media volume lock each time you want to use the GPS? Seems like you'd need to turn it on/off only when you need to use the Navigation app.
Yes i have to turn the media lock on for gps and off for normal use. Its a hack for sure but at least i can hear the gPS voice prompts for now until Google fixes the maps app. Good luck.

Has anybody actually found a proper solution to this problem? I am having exactly the same issue on my new HTC one GE. If I pair my phone to my car via Bluetooth and use Copilot (navigation app) while playing music through the stock play music app, every time there's a voice prompt from copilot the music volume fades down, as it should, but then it doesn't automatically come back up when the prompt ends. I have to manually increase the volume which is both annoying and dangerous. To me it seems something rather simple to do but according to Copilot's customer support it entirely depends on my phone's capabilities, whatever that means. I know that I'll get a lot of grief by saying this, but my iPhone 4 could do this no problem.

I just stopped using my n7 media player and switched to Pandora radio. Pandora doesn't have this issue. It must have a separate volume control built into the app.

looking for a good mp3 player

Hi all
I have a question.
I am looking for a good mp3 player that will work with my Bluetooth headphones. For now all player that I found can't be controlled well. Here is what I'm talking about; 1). If I get a phone call music does not stop playing and people who I'm talking with tell me that there is a noise. 2). Next track don't work by pressing one of the buttons. What I'm looking for is a player (I hope it's a player not this build) that will stop music on its own when I get incoming call. When I hit forward button it goes to the next song or back when I hit back button. When I hold down next button --- it would fast forward…
Is there something like that out? Or is it in the build?
Thanks. I appreciate the look and response
