[Q] Notification sounds with Earphones? (Mute phone speaker) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
I find that notification sounds play through the phone speaker as well as the earphones when plugged in. Playing media is fine (audio only through earphones; phone is speaker muted).
Is it possible to mute the phone speaker completely when earphones are plugged in, so that sounds are only played through the earphones?
I am on latest MC3, Speedmod Kernel.
Thanx!

It's not possible in stock, but may be there is costum rom or app for that.
Why does that even bother you? :laugh:
What if you get sms/email or something important while headphones plugged in and not using?

....because on many occasions, when at work or in the library when you study with music on, that is the whole point of using headphones - you don't want to disturb anyone with beeps and bubbles and chimes.
And when you put your phone to vibrate only / no sound, then you don't get a notification sound at all...

Thanx.. I might be mistaken, but I cannot find a thread with info on the latest NEAK Kernels for the S3?

Probably no longer posts on XDA .
My version is via a custom rom .

Perseus kernel does this too.

Jj's reccomendation led me to the source page of neak. In the wiki it calls the feature "privacy mode"
Since the dev of neak wrote the boeffla app... I guess that privacy mode is the same as that of neak.
... Which means that any kernel with the sound mod & app... has the feature? Can someone confirm?

[Q] Lost all audio

Since a few days i've lost all audio from device. It doesn't play any ringtone or system sounds at all, native or mp3.
All volume settings are untouched, no silent mode whatsoever.
When i start music player it 'starts' playing, but song time bar (sorry for bad english) doesn't move and no sound is coming out of the device.
Plugging in the headset makes no difference, no sound there either.
When tapping the play/pause button in the player i eventually get a FC for music player and device lags alot for a few minutes.
A video plays, but without sound.
The only sound i have is from speech calls, but switching to speaker doesn't work.
The FM radio works normal (through headset).
My device had CF root, and no custom ROM. I already completely wiped device and flashed stock kernel and stock rom back on it through ODIN but to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Seems your Speaker is gone man

So there's an example of the headset working, but there's also an example of it not. It's not his speaker.
@OP Did you try a complete wipe?
Yes I did completely wipe the device (wiped everything I could possibly wipe when root was still intact through CWM)
No result though

Try to see if the equalizer of the GS3 is set to normal or else change it back to normal.
Also, if you want, there are plenty of kernels that offers improvements to sound and boost of volume.
See more of "Siyah kernel" "Francesco Kernel" and "N.E.A.K".
You need to root to flash the kernel.
i haven't had/heard any audio problem in mine S3 compared to the pc sound with headset. (Mac).

I think you are using cm9. CM9 has a new feature where the volume is adjustable when you plug in headphones. It's under Settings-> Sound-> Safe headset volume. From what I know it automatically reduces the volume to 50% when you plug in headphones.

Hi
No I'm not using CM9, I am on stock ROM I have a I9100, also I have siyah kernel, but not a custom ROM
I thought you are on cm9 cuz in that rom they implemented this mod sorry i dont know how to help you

seems that it's the pioneer headunit and a mixture of the wanam volume mod in the Rom. flashed stock sound zip and seems to have stopped. if anyone has this issue. check the rom. if it has a sound mod it could be the problem
Wanams rom i believe has the default.gain conf file sound output altered .

Low audio from the bottom speaker.

Recently, I noticed that the bottom speakers have been going low. Where previously I could watch a YouTube video with just 80% volume clearly but now with even 100% I don't get a better output. It's good and no muffling but the volume is low. Even with notifications alarms ringtones. Has anyone faced similar issues. Bdw i am on miui global 11.0.5 and my phone's a year and 4months old.
Anyone??

Try Twisted and other kernels because Twisted kernel updated audio and other drivers
