[q] no sound after using voice dialer via bluetooth headset

I have a problem that when I searched for solution, I found that many other people have this problem !
I often use my bluetooth handsfree device , I press the botton to activate Voice Dialer or Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, all sounds like ring, music, notifications, etc... are gone !!! all volumes are on high and active and profile in NOT silent... but there is NO SOUND at all !
the only way is to reboot my phone ! I installed many different ROMs and the problem still exists but one Sense ROM named imilka's Desire HD v2.0
any solutions ?!
i never got problem with this on my s4g. bump.
I have the same issue
Did you ever find a fix? I get the same from choice dialer and google voice dialer. Vlingo does not have this issue, but it does not work through your bluetooth when you press the bluetooth button.

[Q] CM10 audio gateing

so it seems CM10 (jellybean maybe?) has a built in audio gate, at low sound levels it cuts out frequently (I listen to a lot of classical\chill type music to help me sleep) it also shows up when takeing quiet calls (call centers mostly)
anyone know if there is a way to disable this?
i did a search and one user brought this up before but no solution was offered

Bluetooth problem with headphones

Hi everybody,
I have problems with Bluetooth since the installation of the last CM11 (android 4.4.2) on my galaxy SIII, I have search everywhere but never find any working solution.
I explain, all the time i listen to music with my headphone Sennheiser MM550-X. it's working fine when there is no object between my Galaxy SIII and my headphone. BUT as soon as i put it in my pocket the music begin to lag, the same when i put the phone under my hand for example.
It was working perfect before with the original rom from Samsung.
i have already tried to
- Change the music app (now i use Poweramp pro)
- Change the size of the music buffer and the priority of the music in Poweramp
- Change the CPU strategy to Performance (works fine with the small lag problem when the phone is in sleep mode, but no effect with the bluetooth)
- Change the headphone with another from my wife , exactly the same problem
Does anybody have any solution ? is it possible to modify the settings of the cyanogenmod bluetooth ? change the blutooth apk ? or to amplify the bluetooth signal ?
Thx

[Q] sound distortion partner sounds bass I sound high pitch

Hello every one.. I've had my Galexy 3s for nearly two years now and the last few weeks been getting very strange behavior..
I live in Brno Czech Rep. (maybe connectivity problems..) sometimes my phone works fine other times I get numerous sound issues:
1. Viber, whatsapp Skype - person I'm talking to voice comes through as very low bass whilst my voice sounds to them as high pitch-fast
forward type.
2. Regular phone calls- come through with cracking sounds (again not always)
3. These problems persist with or with out earphones plugged into device.
4. When issues start both rings and notification sound are distorted- normally sounding as if in slow motion.
I have recently done a factory reset on my device with no avail
my device is running Android 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-611730
Thanks for any help

OK Google is not allowing to listen to Music on Redmi Note 3

Hi All RN3 users,
I am writing this from India, using a Redmi Note3 Snapdragon, 32gb, running MIUI Global 8.0.6.0
I have been using this RN3 since 2 months now. I am music fan and was happily listening to songs on Rocket Player and few other Music players with Philips Earphone which I had got with Philips 1GB Mp3 player many years ago. It was a TRS jack and was working fine.
Suddenly few days ago the earphone went dead. After this I have been trying few others like JBL Headphone, LG earphone(TRRS) etc.
Everytime I plug in the ear/headphone and switch on the music player, the song plays for about 4 seconds and then OK Google voice assistant opens up on its own and stops the music. Push it to background and manually resume the music, it appears again. With my old Philips earphone I never had this problem and the top bar icon was always of headphone only. Now it changes to earphone with mic icon before OK google appears.
I browsed the net for solutions, forced stop the google app, disabled voice detection in settings, tried rebooting, tried 2-3 new earphones but no use.
According to some users who are facing this problem, it is a earphone jack and audio port hardware issue, earphone is being mistaken somehow as microphone and so the voice app is appearing.
But it was not there with my old model Philips earphone
Even now this problem is not there when I am playing FM Radio !!
No problem when playing the music with Phone Speaker
But only when playing music from music player apps and with Earphones inserted.
From net browsing I learned that even other brands like LG G3, HTC, Galaxy phones are facing this and with good branded earphones like Sennheiser, SoundMagic, JBL.
Also this problem was not there with MIUI v8050.
Is it a bug or a hardware issue? Is my audio-port damaged?
PLEASE help me solve this. What is the guarantee that buying a new earphone would solve this issue?
Hey Google, It is NOT OK to stop playing music.
I was also facing the same issue, and no its not a hardware issue. I solved this issue by modifying mixer file in /system/etc/ by changing a line from HIFI to LP and then a reboot.
Can you please give detailed info how to edit that file. Full path where to locate that file.
My phone is not rooted, I don't know how to root. I hope the solution you have suggested doesn't need rooting.
Open Google > Settings > Voice > Hands Free > uncheck "For wired Headsets".
OK google Detection > Disable everything...
Try this and see if the problem was gone

Hi madkiran, I have tried doing this and sorry to say it did not help. What you have suggested is the only action we as non-expert users could attempt.
I fail to understand how despite disabling it pops up once music starts playing.
