This would suggest that a behaviour like this cannot come from headphoned. Feel free to try to reproduce this bug (basically by restarting your device, waiting until everything has loaded and then plugging in the headphones - the Media Player widget on your desktop might help check out the situation). If you can reliably reproduce this bug, try uninstalling headphoned and see if it still happens.
I can confirm that this issue has occurred long before I installed headphoned.

Has this app stopped being updated in relation to other media players? Because it hasn't been working lately, and all I've done differently is installed a few new media players/updated older ones. Thanks for the info.

I've noticed a problem when using headphoned - the tones for incoming SMS and email messages are no longer played when the headphones are removed and the media player is paused...

I've had this with headphoned 1.5 and 1.6 on 2.2009-51-1 and there is no change to this behaviour with 3.2010.02-8.

When a call is received the ringtone plays as expected, it's just SMS and email tones that are muted, and it's only been this way since installing headphoned. I wonder if there is some sort of priority within the sound system (SMS/Email being at a priority different to ringtones) and headphoned is somehow interfering with this?

This is highly unlikely. headphoned does nothing more than sending a "pause" signal to the list of known media players. See the source code if you want be sure

I'm not suggesting it's a bug in the headphoned code - there are so many problems with the N900's behaviour with respect to audio routing that I'd put money on the problem residing within the N900 firmware, and it's a problem that is being triggered inadvertently by headphoned.

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to nail down a reproducible test case but hopefully I can do that this weekend, just wondered ahead of time if anyone had noticed anything similar. As I say it's only been a noticeable problem since the installation of headphoned, the functionality of which I absolutely love btw (thanks!)

I'll update this thread with more details, or can headphoned be added to b.m.o.?

It's not muted - you can't hear it too well because of the music.

There's also the problem that if you received a phone call and you then remove the headphones the media player is not paused! Which can be embarassing at times!

Not sure what you're referring to - the lack of SMS/Email tones happens when the media player is either paused or not even active so no music playing. I do hear the new email tone when music is playing and I'm listening on headphones, though the tone is very quiet. It's when I'm not listening to music and headphones removed that I don't hear the tones... why I'm not entirely sure.

Yeah, would be nice if that could be fixed but probably requires changes outside of headphoned. The N900 should only restart the media player at the end of a call if the media player was actually playing something when the call was answered (and not just when the call was received).

I can confirm the muted SMS/Email tones after unplugging the headphones. Receiving SMS after unplugging only causes the phone to vibrate and sound a little beep, the same I would hear if I still had the headphones plugged in. If I pause the media player before unplugging, the SMS/Email tones work as they should.

Otherwise great app, it has saved me from many embarrasing situations when I accidentially unplug the headphones. But this problem forces me to remember to manually pause the player when I finish listening..

Thanks for confirming I'm not going mad! Unfortunately I've been too busy these last few weeks to sit down and diagnose this further.

Typically I just pull the headphones out of the device as I walk into work - which automagically pauses the media player but leaves it running - and from that point onwards I get no SMS/Email tones, just vibrations.

I'll try pausing it before unplugging next time to see if that makes a difference for me too.

OK, pretty much confirmed this and it's as tjjalava says: hit pause before unplugging the headphones and SMS/Email tones work correctly, but pull the headphones out of the device while the media player is playing audio and you then get no SMS/EMail tones.

Firmware 3.2010.02-8 and headphoned 1.7.

Anyone else able to reproduce? If so I'm happy to file a bug (though against what I'm not exactly sure - headphoned or the audio subsystem?)
