Well, I use my phone as my alarm and this simply will not do. I could live with the ringtone and notifications not playing through the speaker, but the alarm which is an mp3 absolutely must. Is there a way to fix this? Is this ICS or the gs3?

This is annoying as hell when I'm driving in my car plugged into the car's aux input... audio cuts out for a second and then my notification *pop* noise plays through the speaker, then transfers back to the car audio. Meanwhile, all the system noises like the little *bloop* noises it makes when pressing on stuff in the OS get forwarded to the headphones.
Why, Samsung? What is the point of this frivolous change from stock (oh yea... to your "Is this ICS or the gs3" question, it's the gs3) . There's no conceivable reason for it, and it's applied inconsistently.
There are a lot of things I'm liking about TouchWiz, but equally as many annoyances (like this).

Is this something that can be modified at a higher level or is this a lower level feature?

Hello, did anyone find that the background noise of vibrant is very clear, when using headsets.
If you want to have a test, I think you can do as fellow.
1. Find a quiet environment, plug in your headsets
2. Open music player, turn the volume to 0
3. Play a song, you'll hear the background noise immediately
4. If stop the song, the background noise hold on for several seconds, then disappear.
What's the cause of this? Driver or hardware design? or just software.
So did anyone have some idear for solving this problem?
I have no background noise, try different head phones, maybe they are the problem.
I've heard it with iems in silence, same as what you described.

no, noise does not come from mp3. I use musicplayer just to take a example.
the noise comes when the dsp has outputs,and disappears when the dsp has no outputs
I am pretty sure you are hearing hardware static noise from the audio circuit. The sound quality of the headphone amp in the galaxy phones is better than most HTC phones, but sadly still falls short compared to an iPhone and many dedicated mp3 players. The static is even more evident with higher sensitivity headphones like the ultimate ears tripple-fis and the like.

Yeah I hear this also...if you don't hear it you're probably using cheap headphones.
I use my phone to stream music to my car's stereo, and when I get a notification of any sort, it plays from my phone and then echoes through my car's speakers. This is rather annoying and I can't find a workaround. If I put my phone on vibrate when I enter the car, then I get no noise from either, and I'd never know if I missed a message or something. Just wondering if anyone has a method to force notification sounds through one audio output or another, not both.

JVC KDX50BT is my stereo, if that makes any difference

I would also like to know this. I have a bluetooth speaker at work and a bluetooth car stereo. When listening to music, it is annoying to hear the music cut out and play a notification for an e-mail or SMS message.
Have You guys tried to set notifications volume to none? There are surely plenty of programs that change the phone profile after for e.g. connecting to bluetooth device.

What the hell does the "Mono Audio" widget do?
Mono audio is one of the "Accessibility" features that you can enable through the system settings. It allows you to listen through only one earphone.
The widget is just a quick way to enable it.

I have headphones in right now and it's not doing anything when I toggle the widget.
I put the widget on my home screen and plugged my headphones in test it out. The difference was slight, at least with the song I was listening to, but it was there.
Mono puts out a single signal. You're hearing the exact same thing through both sides of your headphones. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you have both in or only one, you'd be hearing the same thing. However, stereo puts out two independent signals. You are not hearing the same thing through both sides. It makes the sound "richer".
As I've been writing this, another song came on that had a significant orchestral background. I flipped the mono off and on with the widget, and the different was quite pronounced, so at least on my phone, with the headphones that came with the phone, it's working.

Ah I see. I thought you were saying that it would make it play out of one earphone. I get it now. Thanks.
My top right speaker keeps blowing. It sounds like text message alerts, phone calls, and the alarm blow the speaker. I have been through 7 phones from bestbuy all the same exact issue. I try to keep the sound settings down but when I'm in call I have to turn the phone all the way up to hear who I'm talking to and dont remember to always turn the sound back down before I get another message or phone call and it blows the speaker. It will just crackle and first and then completely not work. Bestbuy is blaming me for it blowing but everything is stock settings and everything... Anyone else having an issue?
Do you have any volume or sound apps installed? There is quite a bit of power going to those speakers as-is, so any equalizers, or volume booster could possibly cause a short.
I had my volume at about 85% today listening to music, and not even the slightest crackle occurred.
I like to wear headsets to listen music, who doesn't!
Also recently I bought a Bluetooth headset.
But whatever I do I can not get the damn thing to play notification sound through the headsets all the time.
Sometimes it will ring in my ears, sometimes (which is most of the time) it will just ring through the speaker like nothing.
Which is stupid as I can not hear it cause I'm wearing the headset and people look funny at you cause your phone rings and you just sit there and listen to music.
Am I doing it wrong or is this just a bug?
I have it in 2.6, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4
For example:
Whatsapp seems never to ring through the headset.
XMS although does from time to time.
And an app called "Timer Loop" does it all the time.
