(I did use google and the search function for this, without sucess)
I've been using android (CM7 RC0) for one and a half week for now, so far so good, but I'm having a problem with the alarm clock.
Lost class one day, the alarm didn't go off on speakers, because I left my headphones plugged in the night before, listening to music.
So, I figured out "Always play on speaker" settings under CyanogenMod settings, and checked it.
Next day, guess what, it didn't wake me up.
Found out that while music is playing (it kept playing all night long, after I slept) even with the "always play on speaker" checked, the alarm only sounds on the headphones.
Searched for settings to correct this problem, there is a "volume while music playing" option, but it doesn't give me the option to ring on speakers while music is playing.
Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
Thanks.
I'd recommend you to use Alarm Clock Xtreme (free) you can find it in the market.
It has an option to force your alarm through the speakers even with headphones plugged in, it also has a lot more nice features!
Thanks!
Will test it later today, I hope I don't lose any more appointments because of that.
I don't know if this is a silly issue, could this be a suggestion for the Cyanogen devs to add the "always on speaker while music playing" option under the existing menu?
Thanks for your help, the suggested alarm did work. Funny thing is when it rings on speakers, the music that was playing at the headphones is also redirected to the speakers, it becomes a messy sound Anyways, it WILL wake me up!
I'm glad I could help you. I never knew it would mix the alarm sound and music sound when the alarm goes off (haven't used that feature yet). The "always on speaker while music playing" option in Cyanogenmod should do the same thing so I guess this is a bug.
or get a music player app with a "sleep function". i.e. click on 120mins and the app will self close/turn off the music in 120mins... so your alarm can sound in the morning via speaker... not as flexible but just another option.

Hi everyone,
I've noticed when I listen to my music (using HTC Music player), the music got paused when a notification sound comes up and when the notification sound is done, the music resumes.
I love those notification sounds, but if I get a notification like every minute, my music keeps pausing for a few seconds and resume back.
It gets annoying :-s
Is there a workaround or a fix for this?
I hope someone can help me
I dont know if its the same on sense as i am using cm7, but there is an option to always play notifications over a certain speaker etc.
Alternatively, you could use Tasker or something similar to disable notifications when music is playing
My "wake up" alarms used to play through the external speakers I plugged in to it every night. (That's the only way I could make them loud enough to actually wake me up!) All of a sudden they stopped playing through the speakers and now only play through the phone speakers. I know the headphone jack is okay because I watch a movie or something to go to sleep and the sound for it is coming through the external speakers.
I really need help with this, please. The alarms are not loud enough without it, been late to work more than once now I don't use stock alarm tones, I use custom made music ringtones. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
I have a 2013 N7, stock rom, Glitch kernel... and a weird problem.
Occasionally, when my morning alarm is supposed to go off, it doesn't. The screen will turn on, the option to snooze or dismiss the alarm will show, but there is no sound.
The volume is all the way up, and if I start to play music or a video it will have sound... but the alarm will randomly be silent.
Has anyone ran into the issue before? Surely this wouldn't be a kernel issue, would it?
Any ideas?

alarm sound is a totally different slider than the media volume, so while you may be able to play music, the alarm sound can be off. go into setting and sound and click on volumes and let me know what you see. alarm volume should be towards the bottom (i think)

You were correct, Alarms volume is at the bottom. Alarms volume is turned all the way up.
Alright, so my issue is that I use my phone to play music at night, and as my alarm in the morning. Having the music low enough to be peaceful while sleeping means my alarm also goes off that peacefully. Using a really loud alarm sound isn't enough.
What I'd like to be able to do is somehow separate the two. Whether Bluetooth volume gets ignored completely (and instead having it use my separate media and alarm volumes), having Bluetooth volume be a master where it still also uses the other two, or anything else that lets my alarm volume be louder over Bluetooth than my media volume.
Has anybody seen any app or trick that can do anything like this? I wouldn't even care if the music plays over Bluetooth as normal and the alarm goes off at its proper volume right out of the phone, ignoring the Bluetooth. Just anything to get my heavy sleeping self up in the morning while enjoying my music throughout the night (I sleep quite poorly).
Hello there, I've been trying to figure out a problem on my M9. I don't know if it is actually a problem or just a setting I can't find. Either way I come from having an LG G3. I also use Bluetooth headphones. On my G3, when I got a text, the sound would dim down on the headphones if I was listening to music so that the notification would pop over the sound. I can not seem to get this phone to do that. I thought that was just a standard Android feature. If I am listening to music, the phone will vibrate upon receiving a notification but I'm not actually getting the sound along with it. I will get a notification sound if listening to music through the Boomsound speakers though.
Any ideas? I've been looking around online hoping for something and have come up empty handed so far.
Same issue here, when listening to my external bluetooth speaker, it doesn't come through, and I miss the text
