I have a one plus pro 8. It has excellent microphone (output) noise cancelling. I also have a Bose quiet comfort 35 II which has excellent noise (input) cancelling as well.
My problem is they when I ride the bus and talk to people:
1. If I use the phone default speaker they can hear me great but I cannot hear them
2. If I use the Bose speaker then I hear them great but they don't hear me
Question: how can I speak using the phone microphone (output) but listen (input) using my Bose earphones?

I have 3 pairs of Bluetooth headphones:
1. Sony WH-1000xm4
2. Jabra Elite Active 65t
3. Cardo PacTack bold (motorcycle communicator, works as Bluetooth headset)
On my Pixel 5 I have 2 sound players installed:
1. YouTube Music (for music)
2. Smart AudioBook Player (for audiobooks)
Whenever I am listening to music using YouTube music and press the pause and then resume button on any of my Bluetooth devices, it switches to playing audiobooks in Smart Player! This is very annoying, especially on a motorcycle where I need to stop to be able to unlock my screen to switch back to YouTube!
If there is a way to set up which player is activated when a play button on Bluetooth headphones is pressed? Or at least disable some players from being ever activated by a button?

Is there any way to convert call voice audio/sound (Duo/Meet call) to default audio on rooted devices?
My purpose is to route/convert the call voice audio from a Android phone to TV speaker via chromecast in screen mirror mode.

My purpose is to route/convert the call voice audio from a Android phone to TV speaker via chromecast in screen mirror mode.
Becasue chromecast can only output the media sound/audio from default audio source (like music or youtube...) to TV speaker in screen mirror mode but for call voice audio/sound, it outputs via phone speaker. Therefore, I am looking the way (by apps, Magisk module, editing system file...) to route/convert call voice audio (voice_downlink) to default audio which can be outputted from TV speaker via chromecast.
P/S: I have been trying create an app which records call voice audio (MediaRecoder API) and streaming data to chromecast via nanohttp server but the latency is huge for a call (5 to 10 seconds).
Please let me know if you have any idea. Thanks

How to make PC work as Bluetooth headphones with Android devices?

I use my Android tablet/phone as a second screen and play media on it (YouTube videos, music, etc.) and send the audio to my PC where I listen to it through headphones. I use the application "Bluetooth audio receiver" from the Microsoft store.
**How do I use my PC to send a start/stop signal (AVRCP) to the android device?**
*Yes, of course you can tap on the screen for this, but I prefer tactile feedback from physical buttons. Besides, sometimes I still need to unlock the device first...*
*P.S. If necessary, I do not mind changing the application to transmit the sound itself.*

How to activate internal mic during phone calls when using headphones with a USB-C to audio dongle?

I would like to use my *Samsung Galaxy S20* phone with my quality studio headphones for phone calls. Since the device does not have a 3.5 mm audio socket, I am using a USB-C to 3.5 mm dongle. The problem is that when the dongle is plugged in, the phone expects the audio recording to come from the headset's inline microphone, while disabling the built-in microphone.
Is there a way to set the phone to use the internal mic while using external headphones through the dongle?
I tried a couple of dongles and all have the same issue.
Update: Phone is Samsung Galaxy S20, Android version 11, not rooted.

Can I switch off the automatic volume-down for the 3.5 jack?
I use the headphone socket to plug my device into the car speakers and listen to podcasts while I'm driving. The only way this works is if the device's volume level is on full loudness.

I use the headphone socket to plug my device into the car speakers and listen to podcasts while I'm driving.
The only way this works is if the device's volume level is on full loudness. You can't hear the show through the car's speakers any other way.
Occasionally, something will trigger something and the device will automatically go significantly quieter and you can only barely hear the show.
The only way to get the sound audible again is to dismiss the on-screen dialog and turn the volume back up. I can't do that while I'm driving so until I can stop safely I have to put up with the show continuing to play in a barely understandable whisper and when I can pull over I have to rewind the show to where I was listening. If the show ended in that time I need to download it again.
Is there please a way to turn off whatever is doing that?

What determines the audio source android resumes?

I'm looking for information on what criteria is used when android resumes an audio source. The more technical the better.
I would have assumed it was whatever the last playing source was, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It doesn't even seem to be the last source that that device had active. For example I was listening to an audio book in the car, but the next time I get back in it resumes a podcast.
It really seems almost random.
Thank you.

App Audio Mixer for Samsung Dex
Is there an audio mixer setting to adjust the audio volume of individual open apps, like there is on Windows, built into Samsung Dex? Or do I need a 3rd party app for this?
