It's backwards with the WH-1000XM4 auto pause and MediaMonkey!

Post by rony_22 »

Strange thing is, when I use MediaMonkey to play music, the auto pause function is actually reversed: when I manually pause the music (because taking the headphones off doesn't work), the music starts playing, and when I put them back on, the music is halted. It irritates me greatly.

In other applications, the auto-pause feature works flawlessly (YouTube in Chrome and MediaPlayer Classic, for instance).

Is there anyone here who knows how I can repair this?

Hi,
Based on https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony- ... headphones and what I read looks like software issue in headphones itself. I can't be 100% certain but based on my experience with such headphones, problem lies that instead of sending Pause when you take them off and Play when you put them it sends Play/Pause State change that exhibits behavior you describe.
Best regards,
