Not working on Android 6.0

Sound about used to perfectly work on Android 5.1.1 on my nexus 5 but has stopped working after an upade of marshmallow.

I am using sound about to bypass some issue in my phone which is detecting a earphone everytime.

Plz help asap

Also tried using beta version but no help from that also.

Same here as posted in another thread. I can change audio stream with OS (bluetooth, speakerphone) but SA has no affect at all.

MM 6.0.0 Nexus 5, latest beta 2.6.6.1

I am also having the same issue. Thanks

Is this for changing media to other audio outputs (changing "Media audio"), or is this only an issue for phone calls when changing "Phone call" setting?

I suppose for me its both.

For me, the ignore plug in/plug out detection under the wired headset settings doesn't seem to work

Someone else reported that. I am looking at it. It's so much fun when they keep changing the audio system in Android.

I really appreciate your hard work. Your app is excellent

MM 6.0.0 Nexus 5, latest beta 2.6.6.1 .I am also having the same issue. Thanks

Same issue after upgrading from 5.1.1 to 6.0 on a stock Nexus 5 this afternoon. Setting Media Audio to "Speaker" with Wired Headset detection to "Ignore" used to route sound to speaker but no longer does.

Have been using SA due to headphone jack issue for a month, and it's been working great. Hope you can figure out a fix soon - I've come to rely on SA several times a day!

My nexus also has "headphones jacked in" sindrom. SA is the only working solution that allowes normal phone calling. After update to 6.0 it does not work any more...

Same issue here, no routing functions working on 6.0

Hi, same here as downloaded SA post Marshmallow update on my Nexus 5 but it has no affect as my handset earpiece remains in operational. Using phone with speaker & Bluetooth. Pls do find remedy asap.

New version ready to go.

It addresses Android 6.0 and switching from Bluetooth A2DP to Bluetooth mono.

You can also get the latest Beta from here:

I tried the latest beta today on 6.0 and it still doesn't seem to be working for me. I try setting TTS to speaker only but when I'm connected to my car's bluetooth the voice search & navigation TTS just doesn't play for me at all, not over bluetooth nor the phone speaker.

What Navigation app are you using? Google Maps no longer uses the default Text-To-Speech engine in Android.

One way to tell is to:

1] Go into SoundAbout

2] Press "Text-To-Speech behavior"

3] You already have "Audio Output" set to speaker

4] Press "Android TTS Setting" and let it check initialize.

5] Press "Listen to example" to see if it comes out of the speaker.

THANK YOU !!! WORKING AGAIN

Great news. Thanks you.

Thank you for 6.0 updated - sound problem solved.
However, I dont know if this was included previous versions... my "headphone jack in" sindrom also prevents screen dimming during a call.
In previous version SA seemed to correct also this problem - or am I wrong and I have now a new issue?

This fixes my Nexus 5 headset problem, hooray! It did however break bluetooth a2dp. I must uninstall SA for a2dp to stream or use BT calls in my car.
The irony is that I worked around this since M preview 1 in June with calls in speakerphone, and lately I've been talking on the car phone and streaming music mostly over BT. Nexus 5X arrives this week!

Thanks Soundabout for this most excellent software.

This seems to be the problem I was experiencing -- it wasn't just TTS not working for me, but anything that streams a2dp to my car bluetooth simply didn't work.

What version of SoundAbout are you using? Are you using the new Beta 2.6.6.3?
