Issue with BT audio and Chrome? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I just tried this with my own Sony Xperia Z+Jabra Clipper, a colleagues Xperia Z+Sony BT headset and another colleagues Nexus 5+Jabra Clipper and seems to be an issue with Chrome?
Anyone else having these issues?
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Ensure Chrome browser is not in recent apps list
Start or receive a call with bluetooth headset
Go back to home screen and start Chrome
Call is now directed to the phones speaker
Very odd, could this be related to the voice integration in Google Now and Chrome?

google voice no sound

Like many others, I am using Google Voice for my voicemail. However, I keep having a problem where the messages don't play through either the headset or speakerphone when hitting play. I've reinstalled, uninstalled, disabled and relogged in, etc.. I am currently using CM10.
Has anyone seen any similar issues and / or found a solution?
Having a bigger problem when all sound and Mic performance going dead sometimes, not sure the cause yet but may be related to Bluetooth.

No audio from browser, audio player but phone works. possibly skype related.

Hey together. I'm a noob *duck* - but I did quite some search on google and on these forums before posting, and I'm not a very stupid noob.
Today I got the situation that no audio is audible any longer from my browser, games, audio apps, or from an audio player (all of them previously worked). This is the case for headphone and also the built in speaker. The problem occurred very likely after using skype. I also still have audio in phone calls and also I still have sound for ringtones and other alarms. Handset functioms all still work fine.
The first obvious thing I did was checking volume settings in the android settings. There I moved all sliders - the one responsible for regular audio did not give me any feedback. If I use the volume buttons on the phone while I'm on my home screen I get audible feedback - but that doesn't influence my problem.
Funnily the sound in skype still works. More funnily: during skype calls the audio from my browser or the audio player is also audible (I tried this just out of couriousity as I suspected Skype to be the cause of my problem. Et voila - I got sound from a TV News page and also from the Walkman app while the call on skype was still running. As soon as the call in Skype ended the audio from browser and adio player got muted again.
I also tried to kill skype during a call in order to kill it before it can again mute the audio - No luck. as soon as the skype app is killed also the audio from audio player and Browser vanishes.
I also tried some audio apps - all have the same issue of having no sound.
I then tried different apps which control volumes - without any luck. So at the moment I don't have audio, except during skype calls.
I guess that skype has either access to some hardware settings which aren't used usually (I hated skype for things like this as long as it had existed) - or I'm missing something very obvious. Or something else. Does anybody of the developers here know about linux settings I could modify? (is there something like alsamixer which is only possible to access via jni or similar?)
// Edit:
Just found out that toggling airplane mode ON I have sound for media (audio player, browser). (but also lose the ability to use my cellphone and network). As soon as I switch back to airplainmode OFF also audio is muted again. And for sure - I also tried rebooting in different states of my phone quite often without any difference.
// Edit 2:
looks like I found a workaround but no permanent solution - I installed an app SoundAbout (free app) recommended for similar problems in an other thread: 89996-galaxy-s3-media-volume-stuck-mute.html (I have now put output permanently to "headphones" for media sounds. However as soon as this setting is reset to the default (let app decide) it is muted again when airplane mod is set to off - looks like an other app resets it? (could not find any app obviously doing this though as I stopped the usual suspects)
I still suspect Skype as the original reason for this problem as I just recently had it updated when the problem appeard and it also messes with this kind of stuff during usage (and I don't really use other apps dealing with audio except of browser, music player which weren't updated for a long time).
Maybe also of concern:
It's an sony xperia p, running Android 4.0.3 and it is currently rooted.

Microphone on keyboard won't stop audio playing (anymore}

I used to always voice dictate to my phone. I'm usually listening to podcast or Google Play. I would normally press the microphone button on the keyboard and the audio would pause and then it would transcribe the speech. A second later it would detect no sound and then my audio from doggcatcher would start playing or Google Play Music would restart.
No it beeps the audio pauses for a brief second and then the audio keeps going. If I use the mic on "Google Now Search" it works like normal.
Any suggestions?
I am stock rooted on a clean wipe of 4.4.2
Who do I even contact? Samsung? Google?
Any suggestions?
Any one having the same problem? Any one not having the problem?

Okay apparently its a problem across the board:
Voice Dictate Issue:
The problem could be a bug in the KitKat OS update, because I tried different 'Keyboard' apps and I was able to reproduce the problem with all of them, this is also an issue using voice search with 'Google maps'. Apps that require audio playback to pause, needs to tell Android, so that Android can tell DC to pause.
If you're reading this (yes you!) could you also take the time out to click the link below and report the problem so we can't get that fixed?

[Guide] Fix microphone problems on LxII running kitkat

Happy 2015 every one
Hoping you are enjoying your time
Now, as mentioned in the title, we are troubleshooting the problem of unresponsiveness of microphone on lg series (even in nexus devices)
The problem of microphone. Firstly, it isn't a hardware problem as every one thinks. It is mostly related to software, as every app that uses mic captures it and prevents its activity in other apps
First step is to disable Google Now and Google voice detection.
The second method is to close any other app that uses microphone such as camera, voice recorder or maybe sometimes call recorder, mic testing apps and Google search.
Steps for Google voice detection disable

Problem on a Mate 20 Pro with music not starting back up after a voice call/voice mes

Hi all, I have a small issue with my Mate 20 Pro and I am hoping someone here would know if there's a fix for it.
The problem is thus. If I'm using earphones and listening to music (eg. radio), if someone gives me a call or I receive a voice recording over FB messenger, after I talk to the person or listen to the message, the music won't automatically start back up. I didn't have any issues like these on my previous phone (i had an old HTC). I even had this problem with my Bluetooth speakers, but for some reason, it kind of fixed itself and now the speakers start playing the music back after a call without a problem. It's just the earphones/handsfree that I'm having issues with.
Anyone else has similar issues?
Thank you in advance.
