Route audio through the speaker when connecting headphones

Question

How can we direct the audio output through the speaker, even when the headset is connected?

My code is:

if(audioManager.isWiredHeadsetOn()) { audioManager.setWiredHeadsetOn(false); audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true); audioManager.setRouting(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL, AudioManager.ROUTE_SPEAKER, AudioManager.ROUTE_ALL); audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL); } 

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

Have you tried adding <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" /> to your AndroidManifest.xml?

Answer 2

The AudioManager.setRouting() method is depreciating.

From Javadoc:

Do not set direct audio routing, use setSpeakerphoneOn() , setBluetoothScoOn() .

Answer 3

perhaps you need to use audioManager.setMode (AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL) or MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION;
