For what ever reason any alarm app I've tried, refuses to play on connected, external speakers... The port works fine... I can play music to the same external speakers via a music app (e.g. play music, playerpro), and watch videos fine. However of all the alarm apps I've tried, (default, alarm clock X, alarm clock pro) all refuse to use the external speakers and play on the phones rear speaker... For clarification, i am refering to speakers connected via the 3.5mm audio port and yes, the connected speakers are externally powered.
I have used these same alarm clock apps before (droidx) and they used external speakers fine... Is there a setting in the phone I am missing somewhere? Does anyone NOT have this problem? If so what alarm app are you using?
I've searched around (ALOT) and found nothing, please forgive me if I missed an already existing thread about this...
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
Bunni-
bump , anyone
Bump, seems its notifications as well... For example, while speakers are plugged in via the 3.5mm jack, sounds like the beep played while adjusting volume (via the volume buttons on the side of the phone) play via the phones speaker and not the attached external speakers....
Anyone have a way to change this functionality?

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has worked out how to make the alarm sound come out of the loudspeaker when I have something plugged into the 3.5mm jack.
I often fall asleep with music or a podcast on and the alarm defaults to coming out through the jack instead of the loudspeaker.
If anyone has worked out how to do it or knows of another app that does then I'd be super grateful

yea you're right, I love the idea.
maybe it can be changed with audio app that can seperate the audio, like
app audio: speaker/3,5mm jack
alarm: speaker/3,5mm jack

at the "+" you can add a app for your own ;D
Wanting to use my phone as an alarm, but force audio out through the 3.5 headphone output which I have plugged into the aux input on my hifi, that way I can wake up to half an hour of my fave tunes. Have tried a few alarm apps, but all seem to force output to phone speaker, and don't seem to have any options to force output to headphone socket. Anyone any advice? Is there an app that will allow headphone socket audio out forcing, or an alarm app I may have missed that will allow this.
anyone know if the official samsung dock forces all audio through the dock audio out?
I have the official car dock and if you tick the option under dock settings it will send all audio through the output if you plug your cable into the dock. Never tried it with an alarm, but I would think it would work.
I tried using the keyboard dock with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the alarm sound went through the output.
Hello! I have a few strange questions for you all, and I"m guessing that this isn't really possible, but, here goes..
I have a car that has built-in bluetooth, so I connect my Atrix to it via that for phone calls. Is there a way to force the sound output through something other than bluetooth, ie USB or the audio cable? The downside to having the phone connected via bluetooth is that I cannot hear the navigation voice in Google Maps if I'm not in bluetooth audio mode on the car (or if I have the usb cable connected to the stereo to listen to music). Thanks!
If you have a car dock...it will output the sound from the calls via bluetooth and the navigation through the dock sound connector. But you still have to have the sound go somewhere. I normally use my phone for all audio experiences...radio...music...etc...and the navigation will chime in when it's time for it to.
Thanks for the reply! Only downside is if I plug my phone into the USB port in the car, it'll play music but won't play the nav over the speakers for some reason. I have controls on my steering wheel that I want to use, but I might just have to make do with looking at the screen without the audio. :\
the latest version of Google maps got rid of navigation volume and uses media volume. I restored an earlier version.
ive seen a few of these on the forum and all over google but theres not been ONE complete solution.
when my headset/headphones are plugged in.. there should be NO sound emitted from the loudspeaker... i get my notification via the loudspeaker and my headphones...
i know if i turn on vibrate it will not play through loudspeaker but i also want the notification to play through the headset? and do not need to remember to turn my phone on vibrate everytime i plug in a headset...
any one have any ideas?
using resurrection remix 2.2, (same with stock)
surely there is a way to tell the system to play all media through headset if when on vibrate the speaker is off and media is playing through headphones
thanks!
Update
BUMP...
cmon theres gotta be a solution.. i mean if takser can make a notification play through the media stream.... should all notifactions be able to map them to the media stream so it plays in headphones???
got a temporary solution, got takser to put phone to vibrate and play a different tone when in headset through media stream. havent set up calling yet.
Can you try a Volume App. I forgot the name of the app before I that use to manually adjust the volume either for Headphone or External.
I have a CT802 Idea USA tablet running Android 4.0.3. It is rooted.
Whenever I try to play a video (using any media player program including but not limited to the built-in one), the audio is weird--the volume is relatively low *and* the voices are almost nonexistent--what I get is almost all music. This is only a problem when I have something connected to the headphone jack--it does not happen with the built-in speaker.
If I plug the jack partly in, it is possible to get it into a position where it plays the sound properly.
My theory is that it's somehow falsely detecting surround sound output (but is not detecting it when I have the jack partly in), and when it does so, I'm only getting the left and right channels. I would like to know:
1) Is there any way I can prove this?
2) Is there some setting buried in some file that I can use to disable surround sound completely?
It turned out that the problem was caused by having earbuds with a built-in microphone. Both of the ones I tried had a microphone. When I bought another pair without a microphone, sound was okay.
It's still a problem, however. How do I keep it from doing this? There are no system settings whatsoever related to microphones, and I have no idea how to disable the microphone or otherwise tell it to treat the earbuds as a normal set of earbuds.
