I have an aftermarket in dash gps system in my car that runs andorid 4.1.1 I use the app Sygic for navigation and recently they decided to switch the TTS voice used to the one in the andorid system. I had a voice called Picolo, which sounded horrible and it would always crash any music app playing as soon as it starts speaking so I installed Vocalizer and now every time the TTS voice speaks it crashes any app playing music not immediately but after the second time it speaks. So maybe there are more stable TTS voice apps? Or if possible someone has a solution to why all of the music apps crash? This is my first post so I don't know if I provided enough information so I hope this helps.

Hi. I am absolutely clueless with this.
I am used to having my phone paired with my car stereo which acts both as a headset and as a multimedia playback device. Im using this for a couple of years now and been doing that with iPhones, Galaxies and now the Atrix nad this has never happened before.
This is the problem. Ever since I updated to Gingerbread when I answer a phone call with my car stereo, and end the call, the default Music player on the android pops up and starts playing whatever is on the playlist. I can try and pause the audio and it will play again in a few seconds. I can even force close the app and it will pop open back again. It happened with the old Music, with the new Music (with Google Music support), with Grooveshark, Winamp, you name it.
Figuring it was happenning because of a faulty ROM I installed every single GB based rom out there, including the leak version, the official version, Kenneth's beta 4.5, Kenneth's Alien ROM.
I have factory reset and tried installing everything manually (not restoring through CWM or Titanium). No fix.
Any clues?
Any thoughts on this? Thank you.
I've found that the music player only works when no pre-installed or Google apps are on auto end. IDK why, but it has to do with interconnectedness.
The media player is reacting to the media pairing event as if a button was pressed.
I trap this using a Tasker profile triggered by the bluetooth connection to my car kit; the entry task grabs Media Button Events and the exit task releases them. This stops the media player launching.
Monkey see, monkey do.
If thats the problem then try headset interceptor and choose the app you want the button presses to be sent to...worth a short. Free app in the market.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the Android platform, I have a noobish question:
I use a couple of music/video streaming 3rd party apps while driving, anyone know if it's possible to have the Google Navigation mute the audio of the streaming app when it needs to give voice directions, and then unmute when the voice directions are done?
Right now, if I have both Navigation and audio streaming going at the same time, the Navigation directions are barely audible over the music that is playing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
My T-Bolt already does this. I'm just using Sense 2.1 over GB. I was using Pandora and it works great. I just tried it. Sorry if you're having a problem. It could be poor coding of the program but I think it strange that your phone would do that. So I think it's weird that your phone doesn't do this. You'd have to get the attention of a dev probably and they are going to want more information like what specific apps you are using. Is it all 3rd party apps or just one in particular. I'm willing to see if i can duplicate your results if you let me know what 3rd party app it is and I don't have to pay anything to help you fix your problem. Cause..well...I'm cheap.
Hi. I'm using a rom made by PecanCM. It's on 4.4.2 that could be found here.
I noticed that when I listen to music on my headphones and whenever I go into my homescreen, the music player would pause and not play the song anymore. I've tried 2 music applications (Apollo and Shuttle +) and it kept on doing the same thing on both apps. I've tried resetting the phone but the problem still persists.
I've searched and found out that a lot of people have similar issues and all they had to do was upgrade their music app. I've tried it with shuttle + but it didn't really work. I am not quite sure what's wrong with it, so can anyone please help?
AOSP - playing music only in homescreen
The same issue is for me. I have Samsung Note 2, now running on Paranoid Android 4.4.2 - the music apps (N7 player, Apollo, Google Music) play the music only on the home screen. When the notification panel is active, or the apps list, or any other app is active (including the music app itself), the music is playing, but there's no sound output to the headphones. If the headphones are disconnected, the music plays fine via the speaker or Bluetooth connection. I believe that this is a general bug for all 4.4.2 AOSP ROMs (I've tried Linaro CM11 build as well)

Ok, problem solved!
The reason for this was the new Google Now Launcher and its setting of reacting to "Ok Google". I'm not a developer but I think it's conflicting with other ports/drivers/listeners of the events. So you have to disable this feature in the launcher settings - and there you go! Back to normal music flow.
Google Now --> Settings --> Voice --> Hotword Detection (disable it!) --> Reboot the device
I'm having the same issue on an HTC Rezound running 4.4.2, it cropped up with the latest update to Google Search. I was running the GEL launcher and had not updated to the Google Now version when the problem started. I had to disable hotword detection also.
If anyone is still interested, I have just solved this problem on my brother's Galaxy Note 2 running CM11 M8 by changing the CPU governor to ONDEMAND. Hope it works for others out there!
SOLVED
Had the same problem, just disabled google hotword detection and everything worked fine
Similiar Audio Issue
I have a VS985 (Verizon lg g3) running cm 13 nightly 09/01/2016 and when I am listening to music (poweramp, google music, and built in music player) or audiobooks (smartaudiobook and audible) and I open an a game, the music player just closes and stops playing. Even the icon in the notification bar disappears. If I have heave headphones with music controls hooked up I can use those to restart the music. Is there anyway to fix this? The google hotword disabling and reboot did nothing to fix this issue.
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?
Microphone on keyboard won't stop audio playing (anymore}

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?

I'm on Android 9 and I've been trying to use the Youtube app to listen to music as I run deliveries for my business. I'm active on social media in between deliveries so I get frequent notifications, but getting notifications while I'm on the road listening to music is frustrating because the notifications lower my music volume for a second or two and completely throw off my groove! I understand WHY it does this, because as a communication device my phone's intent is to keep me updated on people messaging me, but I'd rather it just play the notification sound WITH the audio instead of trying to MAKE DAMN SURE I heard it.
I don't want to simply turn on Do Not Disturb mode or lower my notification volume as I still want to be able to receive notifications, especially phone calls if my boss rings me, I just want the music to keep playing as I get them.
I've looked through Android's and Youtube's app settings and been unable to find a solid solution to disabling the audio ducking effect, and browsed tons of other forums before coming back here to XDA since I remember having great success with you guys on another much older issue.
I came across an app called Don't Pause! during my searches which apparently solved the audio ducking issue for a lot of people flat-out, but it is no longer on the Play Store and I found an untrustworthy APK download of it that I didn't want to bother with. It's probably too old for Android 9 anyway.
TL;DR Can I get some straight-up solution to disabling the audio ducking effect (either completely, through Android, or locally for just Youtube at least) or an app similar in simple function to the old Don't Pause! app?
Don't Pause ( by XDA-member tpierce89 ) is available here.

God bless you this is the absolute best solution I could have hoped for. I knew coming here was a great idea. Gonna go one up tpierce's post too!
That app unfortunately doesn't fix the problem with audio ducking. I'm searching for a solution that really disables audio ducking, so that my music doesn't get lowered with every notification and every voice or music feedback of other apps (workout apps etc.).
Any ideas how to really disable audio ducking?
I just want to hear any notification and other audio feedback when I'm listening to music without my music volume getting lowered.
