Hanging Out in the Dock

[Cant Miss]

I ran into something a little odd yesterday. I engaged in a video chat with my brother using the new Hangouts app. I could not hear him... at least not until I removed my Nexus from the official dock.

I checked Settings>Sound>Dock>Audio and "For music and media" was not checked. Moreover, I can hear music and other sounds over the Nexus 7's speakers when it is charging in the dock. But it seems audio from video chats in Hangouts may be hardwired to the dock's audio output jack when docked (as non-sensical as that may seem).

Can't think of any other setting that might be in play here... has anyone else noticed this?

That's not right... as he heard me just fine. I could not hear him.
