Headphones in and Notification Sound still coming through speakers

[Mark Aled]

Might be a little late to help most out but this is for people in the future with this problem. Not sure if its a fix for everyone but this worked for me.
Settings - > Advanced - > Accessibility - > Mono Audio -> Turn off
Saw some stuff about a 3rd party app called SoundAbout. It will help fix the problem aswell but i kept looking for a solution because i didn't think that a 3rd party app was the only fix.

Sadly this wasn't a resolution for me and I'm on an S7, shocking how long this has had no confirmation of a fix on really.

Bafflingly this issue is still present in the new Galaxy S8. What are they thinking?

Same problem as you guys, I'm on an Galaxy S6 Active but with Android Nougat 7.0 and it's still a problem. I haven't tried SoundAbout yet so I technically don't have a true complaint, but if it's likely to end up like those before me or, as with any other background process, use up battery "behind the scenes", I don't know if it would be worth it

Perhaps there is a lock on your headphones, every time when I notice that the audio comes out, i found that the lock of the piece has been slide down.

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this "problem". I'm used to all my other phones setup so that when the headphone jack is plugged in all sound goes there.

I was sitting in the office and noticed that the notification seemed loud and when I took off my headphones noticed that was because the notification came through the speakers.

Yes my headphones were plugged in all the way.

Thanks for any information about this.

I just found out how to deal with that issue, all you need to do is to put in your headsets and put your cell phone on vibration mode or silent mode then it will ring and notify through the headsets only.

It's not them it's us, all you need to do is to insert your headsets and put your phone on vibration mode or silent mode.

And... still an issue with S9+.
It's a PHONE, that plays MUSIC... PHONE... RING!! (through the output device of choice, which is headphones)... it's very simple

Pretty disappointed that my S9+ still does this. Obviously if you have Bluetooth headphones connected, or wired, you want ALL SOUND to go through that channel. If I have to put my notifications on silent then I won't even notice them, when I have a perfect medium available for me to receive them...my ears.

That being said, I've had this issue since the s3 so I can't really say anything. I've tried SoundAbout in the past and it only worked a little. Mostly just a waste of an install.

This isn't a bug, it is intentionally designed this way. The reason the ring signal is not sent through the headphones is to prevent the phone from being used as a trigger device for bombs, etc.
