Hi!
I have installed Google Music, which I would like to use to sync/listen to music. My problem is that externally controlling playback (play/pause/skip) does not automatically control Google Music, but the stock Gingerbread Music player.
Of course, from within the Google Music app itself it works, but external control like from the CyanogenMod lock screen widget or from Bluetooth AVRCP commands it always starts playing on the stock player.
It actually works after I launch Google Music once manually. It seems to control the last used/active app automatically, which is good. But when there's nothing running, it defaults to the stock player.
Is there a way to change that? It's annoying especially with Bluetooth AVRCP and A2DP in the car...
Thanks!

Actually, after some time (when Google Music is closed down automatically?) it plays the stock player even if I had been using Google Music previously.
Is there a way to uninstall the stock player just to test if it helps?
2 weeks ago i tried to play music with a Bluetooth device in a car and when i clicked play 2 things happen:
1.it tried to play, but was stuck on 0:00
2.it crashed
on Google music it poped a message "couldn't play the track you requested" and then the DSP manager crashed.
yesterday i tried it again on a different Bluetooth in a different car, same thing.
I've downloaded every app on the store and none of them worked, i think the problem is the ROM because it worked before and then i changed it.
my phone is android skyrocket, android version 4.4.2 and my ROM is carbon-kk-nightly-20140319-0340
any ideas?
found out that it can play youtube and apps and any music file under 1.5mb
well in case someone with the same problem will look at this
solution:download different dsp managers untill it works
I've searched and can't find anything, but I need to find a way to stop the stock music player from playing when my phone connects to my car's BT. I use Google play music and want that one to auto start, but every freaking time I start my car, the Samsung player starts that dumb preloaded song.
Honestly, I don't care if I can't get play music to autostart, I just want the Samsung one to stop. And yes, I've tried disabling the app, but it can't be, at least non-rooted. So, any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Is Google Play Music set as the default music player? I haven't rooted my phone or anything, it's completely stock and just by setting Google Play Music to the default on Day 1 of getting this phone (April 8th) it always auto starts when I connect via Bluetooth.

I never got the option to set it as default and I didn't see anything about it in application manager. Any idea where to find it?
OK, figured it out in a round about way. I had to open a .mp3 in Samsung's file explorer and then it asked me for the default. So let's see if it works.

Thanks! It worked.
That didnt work for me. Upon linking to BT in my car, the stock Samsung player still auto starts. I have tried setting play music as default, I have set Player Pro as default. it still auto launches the stock crappy Samsung player app. Ideally I dont want it to auto launch any app. I use Pandora alot in my car and since it auto launches the samsung app, that means my car stereo does not display the track info for the playing song in Pandora on the screen.
Sooo annoyed
I have the same exact issue and it is driving me crazy. I have tried everything in the phone and settings and there is nothing. I have downloaded both Connect and Play, and Smart Connect as bluetooth connectors but the stupid factory music beats it to the punch every time. Nothing works! I am about to chuck my phone. Someone please help!
me too
Does anyone have another suggestion? This happens to me if I even "pause" my podcast player too long. Truely annoying.
I am going to try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
So far, with the UI, it does look like it has the right settings/options.
Sorry to bump this but came across this while trying to sort this very same issue. I'v found an app called Package Disabler Pro in the Play Store . The best thing is that it works without root.. It isn't free but I thinks if you been looking for something thats solves this issue its worth it. It worked for me so hope it works for you. And if you try it quick enough you can get a refund if it don't work
Download Trigger, I have mine set so when it connects to bluetooth it launches Google music but you can choose anything you want or nothing at all!

I have the same problem. I installed Trigger, but it didn't work. What task did you add?
The best I came up with was denying access to storage in the application's settings. Now it just prompts me to give it permission when I connect to bluetooth. At least that horrid song doesn't play anymore.
Have you tried Tasker ? Had same problem myself on S6 Edge, but after a little fiddling with Tasker. The default "music" closes, tunein radio is launched & my volume levels are adjusted. I can revert back to "music" by pressing play/pause on hands free.
I have DELL INSPIRON 17R 7737, I installed have Win 10/ Remix OS rooted dual boot... everything is working fine ... all games and touchscreen everything very smooth but....

I even tried Wnyk Music.. even music streaming apps dont work.... but youtube plays fine.
Hello there
I bought honor 7 two weeks ago, as y'all know it hasnt come with built-in eq so i decided to install an eq app or mods like viper4android, dolby atmos, but i encountered some strange problem with the sound and music player.
my music archieve is mostly flac and also i've got couple of mp3 files problem is eq app and mods have no effect on these mp3 files when i use stock music player like if there's no mode or eq app working but i'm able to use these effects with google play music or another music players but except google play music and stock player im not able to use the other players on lockscreen.
Is there a way to use the other players on lockscreen or fix this sound processing issue ? i like stock music app's visuality but i can use another music app im open for all suggestions thank u.
Anyone?
Fixed it?
