Want phone to ring with wired headset connected

Anyone know how to make the THD to ring through speakers when a call is incoming? I like to use a wired headset and have it connected all the time so I don't have to plug it in our out all the time.
Didn't notice this at first since if you have 100% System Volume you can actually hear the ring but it's coming from the headphones and not the speaker so thought it was through speakers automaticly (also read someone claiming this in another thread).
So does anyone know of a way to solve my problem? Or is it just me getting the sound through headphones only when connected?
Thanks

I have the same question...

Mine seems to randomly ring through the speakers even with a headset connected sometimes, I find it pretty annoying since I don't want it to happen. I don't know how it's caused though.

notifications while using bluetooth

Bought a Moto S10-HD headset, and it sounds great, but I noticed that when I get notifications, my music pauses like normal, but the notification sound gets played on the phone, and it's not passed along to the headset. Music resumes as normal after the notification. That doesn't happen when using the wired headphones, but if I'm using a bluetooth headset and I leave my phone in the other room, the only way I'll know if I get a notification will be the music pausing.
Any ideas?

It does that to me with my Car stereo when its hooked up via BT. It isn't really an issue for me since I am never far enough away from my phone where i don't hear the notification coming from the phone. I never thought about why it does this, but since you brought it up, I would love to know as well.

A quick google search shows that this is apparently the holy grail for bluetooth headphone users. However, I think the same thing happens with wired headphones as well.
I too, would like to know why and have it solved.

My stock wired headphones play the notification tone fine.
While I'm here, another thing I noticed is the system sounds that are played over bluetooth are somewhat quiet compared to music. That also doesn't happen on the wired headphones.

Encountered two issues on my i9505 today

FWhile listening to music through earphones the music sounds fine. But today I connected it to aux on my friends car stereo and you could your hear a loud hiss. An iphone 5 and htc one were fine so its not the car stereo.
The other issue is that today when I unlocked my phone I sometimes had a weird screen distortion before the homescreen was visible.
Wondering if anybody else encountered the same issues

2 different volume types
What probably happened was the volume on your S4 was set low, which resulted in you turning your car speakers up. When this happens, you get a lot more of a static sound. make sure the volume on your phone is turned up enough next time
I don't have an S4 or know about your other problem; sounds pretty weird though. Probably just a bug.

Its a known issue when using low impedance headphones or devices. Check here:

Ilabs i just checked out the other thread and i think my problem with the sound is off different nature. The hiss sounds like a high pitch tone and it only starts to appear when I click on play and even remains when I click on stop. Only unplugging the cable helps.

Probably a one time incident, haven`t had it myself so far. If it should happen more often do a data factory reset.

Problems with nexus 6p when listening to music

Hey guys
I just registered because I experienced some problems with my recently bought nexus 6p. I really like this phone but as soon as I start listening to music using headphones the bugs are invading my phone since I didn't find anything on Google I start this thread.
But let's get to my problem:
I plug in my headphones and start playing music (using blackplayer and Google music). When the screen is turned on the volume turns down itself (I can see the volume bar going down to zero like I'm pressing the button). Also sometimes the powerbutton stops working and I have to restart my phone long pressing the power button.
But also when the screen is turned out I experience some problems. One of the most annoying ones is that music stops and starts randomly (but only when headphones are plugged in!!!). The other bug is music stopping, display turns on and some female voice tells me "Bitte warten! (please wait)" and the screen is gray saying "initializing".
Has someone experienced similar problems? What could help? If you guys need any more information just tell me

I have none of these problems. Have you tried a different set of headphones?

Change your headphones or ensure that they're set up properly. I'm guessing they're wired.

I'm also running into this same issue. I have the latest updates on my phone. This happens about 25 minutes in to listening to media. I've heard that disabling "OK Google detection" fixes it. This hasn't worked for me.

Sounds like wired headphones with a faulty connection to the phones, or faulty buttons on the headphones. I have seen similar behavior with just a wired connection to an AUX Input. The connection on the wire was faulty and due to changing resistance, it looked to the phone like headphone buttons were being pressed. Could also be a fault at the headphone jack on the phone, but it was not in my case. Definitely try other headphones to help narrow down the issue.

S8 DID NOT reduce music volume when notification sound is being played

If I connect S8 to wired earbuds, I can hear the notification sound( music volume not reduced) but not that clear as the notification sound is mixed with music. This gets worse if S8 is connected to a Bluetooth headphone--I can barely hear the notification sound( sometimes notification sound is not played at all, I don't know why). I switched from iPhone 7 and found this pretty annoying. I missed a lot of notifications while listening to music over Bluetooth. Anyone know how to reduce the music volume on notification? I looked through all the settings and didn't find anything useful.
Thanks for any useful information!

I'm actually looking for this very thing. For me, no matter what sound device I use, wired, wireless, etc., audio ducking is way too annoying for notifications I'm not necessarily interested in immediately (e.g. Facebook group updates from groups I rarely visit).

Im bumping this up
I have a s8+ duos with similar problem. But only with Bose qc35.
If music is playing and connected with Bluetooth, no notification sound is heard. Music is only slightly reduced in dB for a second or two then back to normal.
With cable /wired, the notification is heard loud and clear.
This happened two weeks ago and was working great until then. Reset doesn't work. Have no clue about.

Same here

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I found a solution. For me at least.
Connect Bluetooth headphones
Reduce media volume to very low.
Keep notification sound at 25-30%.
Now increase volume on your headphones - if you can.
Try send a message to yourself or similar just to let you hear if the notification sound is heard or not.
.....
I also enabled dualsound and turned it off at the same time so Im not sure which of these settings that were the solution.
Try both.
It seems my bose qc 35 have different sound presets depending on which device its connected to since my sony phone didn't have this issue. Doesn't matter even if the bose where reset, downgraded or removed device list.
And this issue was only on a dualsim. Tested against several s8 and regular s8+. Very strange.
