Ok guys/gals, this is my first post ever and I'm pretty sure I've looked and searched all of the Xperia threads for a solution to this issue I'm having with my X1i.
If i'm playing music (using WMP or the Media Panel) with the Headset plugged in and a new SMS, MMS, e-Mail, or ANY type of notification pops up, the music (or any other audio) halts/stops/pauses/interrupts the music playback to prioritize the notification sound and then resumes the audio playback. I've looked at all the sound settings to see if there was a new option (headset options) to prevent this from happening but have had no luck...
Is anyone else having this problem?
The only solution I've had to work with so far is to uncheck the Play Sound box for all the notification options available in Sounds & Notifications and check the Display message, Flash light, and Vibrate options to let me know when I get a new message.

Thanks in advance peeps..
I don't think it's possible to shut this off, Sony Ericsson phones have interupted the music since the first Walkman Phone.
Thanks Burrn, but since this is now a Windows Mobile device, surely there is a registry setting that could allow for the notification sound to be heard over any already playing audio.
At least every other windows mobile device I've had does this; so if music is playing and a notification pops up, the notify sound plays right over any audio simultaneously.
In other words, right now, if I'm using Windows Media player to listen to music and I get a text, my track pauses; I hear ONLY the notify sound; and then resume the track.
I want to be able to listen to my music, get a text and hear the notify sound over the playing track without it pausing the track to notify me of the event.
If one of you experts can perhaps look into the registry settings, I'm sure there has to be a way to modify this annoying setup. I think it would to do with the headset settings since it doesn't pause my music to notify when the headset isn't plugged in; it just plays the notify sound right over the track.
Any help?
Anybody else having this issue? Any more feedback would be greatly appreciated...thx.
I encountered the same problem with my X1,can anyone please help us?

Hey togcbu, I just recently found a fix for that; but you have to know how and be willing to go into the registry; I use Total Commander to go into the registry
HKCU
ControlPanel
Sounds
InCallBuzz
open Sound (this should show notify.wma); and simply erase the sound file name and save... presto, no more annoying sound during your call when you get an SMS.
Hi, just upgraded from my Galaxy Note to the z1 yesterday.
Very impressed with the phone so far, but I have encountered one strange problem that I can seem to find no other comments about.
When I connect a headset (the bundled one, specifically) and turn my phone to silent mode so I can enjoy my audiobook in peace without being bothered every time I get a new promotional email, the notification sound plays over and pauses my audio book.
It does this no matter whether I turn the phone to silent, vibrate, turn the ringtone and notification volume to 0, and whether or not I make these changes manually or allow the smart connect app to make them for me.
The strange thing is, it only plays the notification sounds when something is playing through the headset. When I'm sitting just using the headset as a handsfree then everything behaves as expected - if a notification comes in, the phone will vibrate, flash the notification led, but won't make a peep otherwise. But as soon as media is playing, the phone seems to make up its own mind to vibrate and play the notification sound even though I've put it on silent.
Am I the only one experiencing this bug, or, more surprisingly, am I the only one who finds it hugely irritating?
sorry, just noticed i posted this in the wrong section, please close.
My Note 4 (Snapdragon variant) is on the latest Samsung Lollipop version, I've always had poor batterylife so I've wiped the device and started afresh but I'm having an irritating problem where ringtones and notifications have a noticeable out of sync echo on them. This occurs when the application generates the notification and it also happens when I play the notification from the sound menu, it sounds a bit like two applications are trying to play the same notification at once but that can't be the case. If I repeated play back the notification the sync drifts in and out so sometimes it will play normally, mostly not.
I can't think what I would have done to cause this, there's no new applications installed compared to what was installed previously and there's nothing that should muck up with the audio. I've had a good hunt around but almost everything I've found refers to echos during calls. Any advice appreciated as the phone sounds absolutely terrible at the moment.
Edit - Well I was being stupid, I had the Sony SBH-52 bluetooth headset right beside the phone when testing and I didn't realise it and the phone were both playing the ringtone and notifications hence the echo. Disabled media audio on the BT connection and all sorted.

Lately I've been having an issue with the stock rom, where randomly throughout the day the phone will stop playing notification tones or any music. Google play music(and any other music app) just simply won't play anything at all until I reboot it. I don't have this problem on AOSP
Any ideas?
TLDR; phone stops playing any music, or notification tones. Plays certain notification tones fine though xD.
Thanks!
Did you find the fix? Having the same problem
Have this problem on my wife's phone. Calls don't ring, alarm doesn't sound, notifications don't sound. I am not sure about music. A reboot fixes it temporarily. We use our phones as our alarm clocks and that sucks. I have her using her Nexus tablet for an alarm but it is inconvenient. If anyone has a solution you are awesome. Hers should be covered under Moto's warranty but with my experience with them(original atrix) it takes me shipping them the phone multiple times before they fix it or replace it and shipping gets expensive.
Whenever I use video calls through the facebook messenger app/widget I notice all sound comes through the earpiece, I have seen similar posts but none occurring due to messenger.
My s7 edge was problem free until the last forced update which was about two weeks ago (it did it while I was sleeping and connected to wifi).
Now I have to reboot my phone every time I get off a video call or all sound comes through my earpiece. It is extremely frustrating as I rely on my alarm to wake up, which is quiet as a mouse through the earpiece.. oh and I love having to disable messenger's annoying screen overlay every time I get a new app too
Any idea how to fix it? (The speaker issue)
Thanks!
