Upgrade was never offered. I was offered directly Android 16. I can't
install Android 16 as I want to leave beta.

Just want to add, same situation as yours, only it's been happening since December.
After upgrading to stable the issue persists.

I am experiencing the same issue with HTC Incredible. I fall asleep on the bus with music going through my headset and my alarm sound come though the speaker and not the headset disturbing the other commuters.  Needs a fix.

My problem is a bit different although I imagine the solution can be the same. Right now my Nexus One only rings at half volume (the phone) when I have my headphones in. I would like to be able to make it ring at full volume w/ headphones because I frequently leave my headphones in when put my phone in my pocket. At half volume I may not hear it, especially in the wimter with extra clothes, etc.

I guess a menu in settings would solve it.

Same problem with Incredible 2.2.

It's fixed in Cyanogenmod 6.1 (only version I tried, so it's probably fixed in earlier versions too)

Unfortunately Cyanogenmod isn't really running well for the samsung epic yet.  Anyone know how you tell if they are even looking into this as an issue?

Also I would call this a defect not an enhancement maybe whoever initially started the thread can change it.  I would assume defects would get looked at before enhancements.

I have a different issue: On my HTC Desire HD (2.2) these notifications are going either via speaker or via headphones, while i want both. For example i'd like to be able to hear these notifications when i take off my headphones (but keep them plugged). Would be great to have some settings option which allows to do that.

This should be fixed, please!!!

Same problem with Moto Droid on Froyo.

If I have headhphones in, I definitely do NOT want call and sms notifications going through the phone's external speaker. It disturbs others and fails to notify me.

Can anyone report on whether or not this is fixed in gingerbread?

This is still hapenning on the Nexus S

I have the samsung epic and this is happening as well. The phone is so expensive there is on reason that this should be happening.  

This is a major issue.

Not entirely the same as the issue reported here but on a similar note: On my Samsung Galaxy S the notification sound plays on both my headphones as well as the external speaker. I can think of situations where this is desirable: For instance when you've removed the headphones from your ears: you may still want to be notified of incoming messages.
But I highly doubt that this is so common that this should be the default behaviour. 99% of the time when I get a notification with my earphones plugged in, I'm sitting in a train, perhaps even in a silent compartment, listening to music. The last thing I want is to annoy everyone else in the train whenever I get a Google Talk message.

In short I feel this is either a bug that needs fixing or a feature that needs an on/off switch, perhaps with it's default set to off... I've not found any settings relevant to this issue.

Same problem here on my Fascinate. Very annoying!

I have the same issue on my Galaxy Tab. When I have wired headphones connected I want the notification sounds NOT to play over the speaker!

HTC Desire Z with Froyo 2.2.1 is also defective in the way it handles sounds through the speaker, when the headphones are plugged in. Any ring or notification is heard through both the speaker and the headphones.

I think a crushing majority of users would agree that the speaker should STAY SILENT as long as the headphones are plugged in.

I think there should be a setting to choose if the speaker has to be muted when headphones are plugged in. It appears some users do like having both speakers and headphones on.

If an option is implemented the default should not be the current behavior.

Most people expect no sound from the speakers when headphones are plugged in. This is how other phones work. This is how home stereos work. This is how Android should work.

Confirmed issue on Nexus S + Gingerbread.

I have this issue as well on the dell streak on 2.2. Very very annoying.  

Issue also exists on Motorola Defy.

This is just fundamental phone behaviour that has not been correctly implemented. Typical of the smartphone world... all bells and whistles, and who cares about the basics? Can't believe it has not been fixed yet.

Desire Z with Froyo, same problem.  Highly annoying at work when I expect no sound to come out of the speaker and notificiations still do.

Issue exists on Samsung Captivate on 2.1, am hoping that 2.2 has a fix for this but reviewing the comments above it doesn't seem likely..

Headphones in means no external sounds should emit from external speakers

Same issue.. Rooted Evo 2.2 I thought I was the only one.. so who has a fix?

The fix is to install Cyanogen Mod.

[Comment deleted]

Confirmed the same problem on HTC Legend Android 2.2. Also this is not an "enhancement" this is very "bug" and a high one at that.

Same issue in Samsung Galaxy 5 (Brasil) formerly Galaxy Europe, with Android  2.2.

The config select is a great idea.

Yeah this is happening to me too and it is very anoying! Hopefully they fix this as soon as posible!

Evo 2.2

Issue on Samsung captivate running 2.2,  I was
very annoyed when I found out about this while listening to music at work.  One of the few things about the phone that annoy me

Having the issue on Droid X Android 2.2.1.

This is extremely annoying.

Samsung Vibrant 2.1 played notification sounds through the headphones. No more after 2.2 upgrade. Please correct this ASAP.

Android really needs "phone profiles"

same problem on my htc thunderbolt.

Same problem.  HTC Evo 2.2

Did not have with HTC Hero 2.1

Big-time ditto here. HTC Inspire 4G

Same issue on T-Mobile G2x.

I have filed a bug report on this issue. It is a bug, not an enhancement. The bug report can be viewed here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16667&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars

Please vote for a fix in this thread and at my bug report.

I also have this issue with my Thunderbolt.

Hate it on my Nexus S, It nearly got me kicked out of class.

Please fix this issue.  As far as I'm concerned it's a matter of polish...the iPhone elegantly pushes all audio through the headphones while on a call, even if the phone is on vibrate.

Happens on the Samsung Captivate also, very annoying.  Was lucky to have this happen at work while listening to music and when I had a phone call noticed everyone turning to look at me.

Update: also happening on the Samsung 10.1 tablet running Honeycomb 3.0 that were given out at Google IO. I've got headphones plugged in, and the speakers are playing my notification sounds whenever an Email comes in.

Desire S. My phone sometimes does this. I would like the option to turn it on and off. I always have my headphones plugged in. So when it's just on the table or kitchen i don't hear it ring. Or using it as mp3 player, stopping to talk to someone with plugs out of my ears, then i can't hear my phone either. Sometimes the speaker works sometimes it don't.

ditto - Droid Charge.

As some help... looking at forums online made it look like it was past a Droid problem and that all Verizon CDMA phones have this issue and it may not be possible to fix it (although you're Google, I've got my confidence in you!).

On the contrary... many people said they had it playing through the headphones AND the speaker, which does not happen for me (although I've only tried on vibrate... but still it would be nice for the notification/ringtone to be played through the headset even with the phone on vibrate)

Same issue here on tmobile my touch 4g. it's horrible and annoying when in the office. please fix as a bug.

Confirm same issue on Xperia Arc. 2.3.3 Gingerbread,

[Comment deleted]

Same annoying bug. HTC Desire Z 2.3.3

same bug on bell samsung galaxy s vibrant running carrier's stock gingerbread

Another HTC Desire Z 2.3.3
Can't believe that there's no app to fix it (ie. like there are some to increase limited headset volume) either.

Same problem on my Samsung Infuse! They is marked as an enhancement? Shouldnt it be a bug? Im connecting with a Bluetooth stereo headset.

This seems to have been open for over a year. Truely tragic.
Nexus S with Android 2.3.4. Hope it gets fixed soon.

An issue on my ZTE Blade. Major usability flaw.

Same issue on Galaxy S2. This is a big inconvenience for train commuters

I can't believe this is still an issue 36903768 months after it was reported.
I have the issue on a new Samsung Charge.

FYI: cyanogenmod 7.1 on the captivate doesn't display this behavior.

That's correct. CyanogenMod has had this defaulted to off since at least 7.0, if not earlier. You can force notifications to play through the speaker under Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Sound. The fact that stock Android doesn't have this is frustrating at best.

Samsung fascinatr I would really like the option to toggle the sound to headset/speaker...its jus flatly annoying...surely this is an easy fix so y has nothin been done?

Has this been fixed yet?  This is VERY annoying.  So much so that i'm considering switching back to my IPhone...grrr.

Not only is this still present on Galaxy Nexus / Android 4, but Google managed to make a total mess of how these volumes are handled.

The following was tested with the bundled Music app: When notifications need to generate a sound while the headphones are on and music plays, the following occurs: the music sound, not playback, is suppressed and the notification sound is produced both in headphones and in the phone's main speaker. The notification sound no longer takes into account the volume setting for Notifications/Ringtones, instead it is produced at the volume level configured with the Music volume setting.

PROBLEM: Everyone around you is ANNOYED by the notification sound produced out of the phone's speaker. If someone fires out at you a couple of lines on GTalk while you listen to music, you have to quickly fiddle with the phone's volume settings to avoid the death-wishing looks everyone around will aim at you. Even if you set the volume level for notifications very low - to avoid annoying people and rely on detecting a notification by listening for gaps in music playback - it doesn't matter because that volume is NO LONGER taken into account for notifications when the headphones are on.

To screw up matters royally, in apps that are not coded around this FUGLY behavior, so not in Google Music but in something like PowerAMP, a little bit of sound comes out of the phone's speaker, from the music playing at that moment. This comes chaotically, just before or after the notification sound is produced. If you thought a "CLINK!" is annoying to those around you, then wait until this is decorated with a little bit of death metal or whatever you're listening while the notification is produced.

SHAME ON YOU GOOGLE!!! WHO DISGRACES THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS KIND OF SOFTWARE ON A TOP OF THE LINE PRODUCT!?!

Bump, frustrated Galaxy Nexus users here.

I work in a cube farm. So, I usually have headphones connected to the phone so as not to disturb my cube-mates.  I got a phone call today, and to my surprise the ringer plays through the external speaker even when headphones are connected. In fact, so do notifications and alarms.

My original droid would route ALL sound through the headphones when they are connected, which is what I expected the Galaxy Nexus to do also. I really need ALL audio to route through the headphones when they are connected. I opened a ticket with Verizon, but I have not heard anything back.  HELP!!

I  can confirm that this is still an issue with my galaxy tab10.1. Notifications are being played through the speakers instead of just the headphones. Until a fix is released,im dissapointed to have to turn off notifications...

I'm writing this off as an one of those nagging issues that Google, the carriers, and/or manufacturers may never address. My "workaround" for their laziness is rooting, which essentially solves a multitude of issues (and proves "lazy" is not too harsh a criticism.)

went from droid2(verizon) to samsung galaxy skyrocket (Att)
the droid never had this problem (notifications would play over the headphones when they were plugged in). quite annoying.

Apparently, after a call to Samsung, this may bean intended "feature" of Droid products. Making sure you can still be aware of notifications and alarms in case you are not wearing your headphones.

Well, if it's intended there should at least be an option to disable the "feature". Thankfully CyanogenMod does it right and provides options for which events always play over the speaker.

I did not have this issue with the Samsung Prevail from Boost but I do have this issue with the Samsung Transform Ultra from Boost.

Need to Fix

Issue confirmed on my Samsung Exhibit II Gingerbread. My cubicle neighbors are anxiously awaiting a fix for this.

Same issue on my Samsung Nexus S, ICS 4.0.3

I absolutely hate this behaviour.  It's unprofessional.  Makes the phone seem broken and is a black mark on Android.

Same issue here on a Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100), Gingerbread 2.3.6, UK, Unbranded. Most annoying thing is, on my handset, email, sms/mms (and other messaging apps) notifications don't even play through the headphones at all when I'm listening to music, even if I haven't got it set to silent/vibrate mode!

Coming up to 2 years now (since 1st post) and still no fix???

Is it really un-acceptable to ask for a common feature/setting that other mobile phones (from the last decade) already have as standard?? Kinda reminds me of the 1st iPhone not having the mms funcionality! At least now, Apple has pretty much got all the standard 'mobile phone' features sorted out.

So to me, I'm afraid this goes down very much so as a school-boy error! Unlike the 'Antenna-gate' issue on the iPhone 4, this isn't a hardware problem so should be fixable.

C'mon Google (or Samsung or whoever), considering that you're direactly trying to compete with the big 'A', you should really know better..

-From a very annoyed, recent Android convert-

I have a Samsung captivate with Cyanogen Mod 7, and the problem is the same

Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Sound
There are three checkboxes under "Always play on speaker". These are what you're looking for.

Me too - Samsung Galaxy S1 - Germany - i thought it was my fault because i am too stupid to find the "button" to change this.

Now i see its googles fault (again)! Please google - Rule Nr. 1 Quality Check, Test, Quality Check, Test - then Test again, after that release!

Android better the IOS? - i think not.

this is the only thing I really don't like about my Samsung galaxy sii...it seems like it should be a quick fix! it makes it so hard to listen to music in a quiet place(ie library) without causing a disturbance or missing calls!

Droid 3, and this is the only thing I do not like about it.

Same problem continiues with samsung galaxy s 2 (ICS 4). Hey Google is it so hard to fix this??? just put a new sound profile and give it a name like "headphones" and when i plugged my headphones automatically (or optional) activate that profile. SHAME ON YOU GOOGLE!!!

Agreed with above with above about adding a profile. This should be basic. Who would ever want their notifications to play on their headset and their device (effectively 2 notifications).

I do not have much confidence this will ever be corrected. As this "enhancement" does not look to be assigned and open for 2+ years. Just because there are only 141 people at present that starred this. That doesn't mean more do not want this. This thread took hours of digging to find. Please fix this.

Is anyone aware of a way to escalate this issue, or somehow get it to the attention of the appropriate people at Google? As many have stated, this seems like such a simple problem to fix (if you're willing to root your phone, it's one line of code). I think part of the problem is that there are multiple issues open for the same or related problems. I just did a quick search and saw at least three others (numbers 16667, 4334, and 2534). Clearly this is something people would like to see resolved.

@nfree

This isn't a Q/A section. It's a limitation with the OS itself.

@nfree there is no such thing as "the appropriate people at Google". There is no way for you as an individual to communicate with Google, not even if you buy a Galaxy Nexus. As far as Google is concerned, you are on your own.

Reporting about issues is just doing Quality Assurance for Google, for free. If you are into that kind of thing, keep posting.

hmmmm, if it is only one line of code... couldn't someone whip up an app
or something. I've got a rooted SGS+ (9001) and would be willing to pay
good money for such an app. It is EXTREMELY annoying, you are wearing
headphones to keep the music/noise/whatever to yourself and you get a
SMS or an event alarm or a call and everybody around you has to know... sigh

I'd suggest using CyanogenMod v9 on the Galaxy Nexus, but sadly, it has the same issue. Someone earlier in the thread said they contact Samsung about this and that Samsung said this was "intended" behavior, and a followup said that Cyanogen had options for which notifications played over the speaker, but I see no such settings in CM9.

Mu solution, sadly, was to create a ringtone with a few seconds of silence, then a short "beep" and a few more seconds of silence. This way when listening with headphones, the music/podcast/whatever pauses, I get a bit blank and a beep. I know what that means, but the short audible beep from the speaker doesn't bother anyone.

Not ideal, and REALLY wish it would be fixed more gracefully, but is seems google  doesn't really give a rats ass.

2 years and nothing? I have the same problem with my Xperia Pro, but it seems to be a lost cause - they don't care

This defeats the purpose of wearing headphones.  My HTC Inspire running Gingerbread has the same problem and should NOT be doing this.  Maybe we have to get 100 comments before they will take notice.

Seriously google when are you  going to fix this?!

Having the same problem. I use PowerAmp 2.0.5-build-488 on Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 with Android 4.0.3

I've got 99 problems and this bug is all of them.

Ok, so this is the 100th comment. Damn I have the same problem on Samsung galaxy tab 8.9.
It's ridiculous that when I receive a mail on the train, the music or whatever I'm listening to goes through the speakers, I feel so stupid!... Come on Google!!!!

Samsung galaxy s II skyrocket with ice cream sandwich installed. Still having this problem and would desperately like my peculiar and embarrassing text alert noise to.solely transmit through my headphones when plugged in

SGS2 SG-ACE Huawei-pulse-mini all same problem here =/ the audio switch is software now not hardware is there no way to force always headphones! and put 0mv to the speakers!!??

According to this thread, it's been almost 2 and a half years (possibly longer), and still this problem persists... I love Android to bits, but it's because of little things like these that the quality will always be lower than Apple's... and it pains me to say this, because I reeeaaalllyyy don't like iOs one bit...

@Norman Freelan:  "(if you're willing to root your phone, it's one line of code)."
If you know this to be true, can you please point us to what that one line of code would be?  I'm fine with setting up a build environment and patching code, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel learning how to make this one change if someone already knows how.

Anyone know if there is a setting to disable this in AOKP? (considering there is one in CM9)
I flashed AOKP ICS and now when I'm playing music in the library on headphones and I get a text message, it plays the music and notification out of the SPEAKERS. This is like the troll-iest bug/feature ever.

But yeah, I figure if CM9 lets you prevent this stupid thing from happening...does AOKP? Can't find any options...

On Galaxy s2 i777 AOKP with siyah kernel.

New android user having this problem as well...surprised there's no third party app for a two year old problem. Not the first time I have wished for coding knowledge.

Why is this still an issue?  Headphones are in, but calls and alerts are still playing through external speaker, which is terrible in a work setting. Google should have had this issue resolved a long time ago.  A 3rd party could make some money off of resolving this with an app.  Simply nonsense

Bug is on EVO LTE also. So google is basically saying we don't care this has been happening for 2 years I think my HTC hero did it to..

Galaxy SIII Same issue

GSIII same bug, its obvious that there is't enough tecnhical people on the team, if this bug takes years to fix. I'm assuming there must be some pretty big challenges with this bug if it takes years to fix.

Imagine my surprise to get my first Android phone (Galaxy SIII) after some trepidation and learn that this incredibly annoying issue was reported TWO YEARS AND SIX MONTHS AGO and still hasn't been resolved. Simple things like this really harm the user experience and for it to take more than two and a half years... Also, how is it an enhancement? How can this have been by design?

FIX IT PLEASE

It's annoying everyone in my office

HTC One-X, same crappy issue. Please fix asap.

Same issue on Verizon Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. Oddly this never seemed to happen to me until a few days ago, now I can't figure out how to get it to stop.

Doesn't look like they going to fix it! Its so annoying!!!! Terrible!

I'm not new to Android, but I thought I was overlooking something in the settings and that was why I am also having this problem. My new S3 has this issue, but my Droid X from Moto worked "properly" by pushing all sounds to connected headphones. How odd is it that Motorola actually did something truly user friendly?

Yes this also worked correctly on my Droid X. I just upgraded to the S3 and this is my only complaint so far. Please correct this asap.. i shouldn't have to switch to a different profile. I dont want to mute it because I want to hear it. Thanks

Same issue on samsung s2 ics. I ended up muting notification sound. Means I miss incoming sms txts messages all the time. Not a great solution. Can't find an app that does a sound profile change when plugging in headphones either..

This issue may seem like a small little insignificant detail to google, but for an everyday heavy phone user this is extremely irritating. I have swtiched from an iPhone to an S3 and to be quite honest i am regretting it, largely due to this issue. Its just silly that the sound is not automatically rerouted to the headphones once they are plugged in. Surly this is basic common sense? I work in a shared office, it is inappropriate to have text notifications or worse call ringtones going off when actually i have my headphones in listening to music.
This needs sorting out and fast.
Very very occasionally i will actually have the notification sounds come through the headphones, but the next text along its back to coming out of the main speaker.
I am considering going back to the shop to complain, and even possibly reverting back to apple. Who i had zero issues with any features on their items.
If google with samsung really wants to compete fully and efficiently with its rival, it needs to really think carefully about its OS ensuring glitches like this dont occur and it consistently runs as smooth if not better than iOS.

Same problem here, GSIII with official android Jelly Bean and still the sound comes out of speakers even with headphones plugged in. This is so ridiculous that such an important and basic feature is not yet implementend in almost 3 years. C'mon Google!

Same issue on my Rezound.  Please fix this ASAP.  It's not OK.

Same issue on Samsung Galaxy S3.  ALL sounds,  all music,  everything plays on external speaker when headphones plugged in. I didn't realize it at first because I'm nearly deaf and have to use headphones to hear everything. Then I was listening to music on my headphones while my hubby was home and he told me it was playing on the speaker too. Definitely not ok!!

This issue still exists in 4.2.1 ... WHY WON'T YOU FIX THIS?!?!

Yup, Galaxy S3 same sound problem.
Feel pretty dumb when your at work listening to music and next thing you know a loud as hell notification goes off for everyone around my cube to hear.  Sadly the apple fan boys got this one right and don't have this dumb issue when they flip the button on their phone things actually mute/vibrate as they should.

I have this also on my galaxy tab 2 10.1 . Another thing I have is when setting up an allarm with headphones on it blasts the preview through the devices speakers. The not good at 2 In the morning.

4.2.1 and still no fix for this... Please google, it can't be that hard...

4.1.2 Galaxy S3... still this mo******er problem ! >:(
Come on google !! Fix it !

Same issue, if we plug in headphones, we clearly do not want the sound to come through external speakers. Please fix!!

Using a Galaxy S3!

I recently had the same problem. I fixed mine by calling my voicemail (im sure any number would work) and putting the call on speaker phone then hanging up. Not sure if this will help to other problems but worth a try.
hope this helps

same f.u.c.k.i.n problem... i hate that,,,, if a use silent mode, the phone don't make any sound in headphones.! its a shame!. i have xperia live wt19a with Stock XG! please fix that! some developer create an app! :P

[Comment deleted]

I wrote this problem when I had a Samsung Galaxy S2, now i have a Note 2 but problem sill continiues... BUT I found an app to solve this annoying issue, just install SoundAbout app from google play and disable "Notifications to Speaker" option, app has some bugs but solves the problem thanks to developer!
Ahhh good to have a SOLUTION!

I have a brand new Galaxy S3 and the problem is not fixed yet. It is a basic feature but it doesnt't work. I will try the application SoundAbout. But I will need another fm radio application too as it has the same issue.

And this problem has about 3 years. What a shame !

Confirmed with Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999V) running JB 4.1.1. System sounds are routed through both the headset and the phone speaker.

I use an app called Lama. Create an event with condition "headphones connected" with action "change profile to silent". Create another event with condition "headphones disconnected" with action "change profile to normal". Voilà !

PS. I also use this app to make my phone automatically go silent at job! You can make it learn places you go and make actions you decide, like switching profiles! My preferred app since 2011!

The solution :
1-start play store from your mobile
2-search for Earphone alarmApp
3-download and install it
4-it is work like a charm in silent mode ^_^

This is not obsolete... we are in 2017 and the problem is still plaguing us

Agreed.  Google, there should be a way to change this feature.  I now have a Moto G4 Play and I have the SAME issue on it that I had on my HTC Inspire and my Galaxy S3 before now.  

And those apps mentioned above don't fix it, they only put everything but media into silent mode. I still want to hear the notifications in my headphones.  I just shouldn't have to be looked at by other people when I get a call or a text and I'm in a place that is supposed to be quiet.

My 2017 model LG K10 does this too.

My Google Pixel XL, running Android 8.0.0 does this, too.

If only they'd give us the OPTION to turn it off I'd be happy.  If I'm
wearing headphones, there is no reason that anyone other than me should
hear those alerts.

Why is this obsolete? Still an annoying issue on Pixel XL with Android 8.

Why is this marked Obsolete? April 2018, still happening.

Still happening.
Just spread the word. Most users even dont know that an issue tracker exists and still have the opinion 'I can cannot do anything against it'

Still happening. And only on android. If we have headphones it means we want ALL sound to come through the headphones. Why would we want them to come from the speakers?!

Still an issue in Android 7 & 8. At least on Xperia XA1.
Sony says its a Google-Thing

Still an issue on Nokia 7 Plus: Android 8

I m using Android 7. Please fix it. It's really annoying.

Atleast give the option to change such settings

It only took 8 years, but this may actually be fixed in Android 9/Pie. I flipped out this morning when my ringtone actually played ONLY on my Bluetooth earbuds

Unlikely. They just introduced another bug. That they probably won't fix either, so its a win for us!

Regrettably, it is NOT fixed. We're halfway there, though. My ringtone at least plays in my earbuds now, which is a step up from a monophonic rendition of 'Flight Of The Valkyries', but it STILL plays on my handset, too.

I have the same issue on a Nokia 6 with Android 8.1
Please google fix this issue.

same issues with my Xperia xz premium, running pie not good. who thougt it would be a good idea muppets. come on fix this nonsense.

This is definitely happening to me on my Pixel 2 running the latest OS.  :(  In fact, it happened just now.  Sigh.  My coworker jumped, because it was so loud.

This is still a problem on Samsung galaxy tab a 2016 running latest android.

I never had this issue on any prior Samsung Android devices.  I got an S20+ in September 2020, no issues.  And then about two weeks ago, this issue started happening.  I didn't change my headphones or any other BT devices.  This happens with plug-in headphones and with BT headphones.  This DOES NOT happen (yet) when connected to my car via BT.  

I can't think of any settings I might have changed by accident.

I don't know why this is marked obsolete; it's still happening. Wired and bluetooth headphones play music or podcasts just fine, but all system notifications are coming through the phone speakers and I can't hear them.

Happens on Pixel 7 Pro too

Moto g power making me crazy with this. Can’t find a fix.
