I've upgraded my O2 XDA Orbit using the official O2 update, and while I'm still getting to grips with how everything changed, there seems to be something odd with audio playback.
I've changed my ring tone for a WAV file and when my phone rings now it seems to play the WAV too fast, It seems that playing things with Media player has the same problem, having checked with an MP3 its playing it noticeably faster.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Okay,
Maybe it's just me but I started off with the Pocket PC Phone SX-56 and when listening to the Windows Media Player through the headphones and a call came in the phone would ring in my earphones, the Player would pause, and after I hung up the phone the Media Player would start playing again. Pretty straight forward, it worked the way it should.
Then I got the MDA II, and then when a call came in while I had on the headphones, the phone would ring in the headset but after I hung up the call, I had to go into the Media Player and manually press play again. Step backward number one.
Now I have the XV6600 (XDA IIs, SX66) and guess what? Now when I get a call and I have on the headphones with Media Player plaing, the phone doesn't even ring in the headset. I can tell a call is coming in because there's a pause in the music. I still have to go into the Media Player and unpause it when I hang up the call. Step backward number two.
Does anyone know how to change setting to get it to work as it did in the SX-56. The folks at Audiovox are clueless.
I have the XDAIIs and it does ring in my headphones when I get a call. Though I have the same experience with Media Player not playing again afterwards. I understood this to be a feature of Windows PPC.
There is a music player that does offer this facility (called something like betaplayer) but, after I installed it on my ppc and played some mp3s from the SD card, the card got corrupted so I uninstalled it and haven't had the problem since.
Hi,
give Mort Player a try, http://sto-helit.de/freeware/pocketpc/mortplayer/en/index.pl
Great program, the programmer has an xda2s too, and the program is freeware !!!
To my mind the best media-player on the market!
have fun!
I'm running a LVSW rom tweaked by Austinsync.
When I play mp3's using Win Media Player, they play fine thru my Moto HT820's. However, whenever a m4a file starts playing, the musics reverts back to playing on the phone's speaker.
I'm pretty sure that m4a files played fine thru the HT820's when I was using the pure LVSW rom from 6/16 though.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I've tried Sleuth255's ROM and the same thing happens - mp3 songs play thru the stereo BT headset fine but if I try to play m4a songs, the audio switches to the phones' speaker.
No one else has encountered this problem? Or am I the only one that has m4a music files?
I play m4a music files through bluetooth and they play fine, unfortunately, I use a wizard. What do you use to play? I use TCPMP, Windows Media plays my m4a(aac plus encoded) as mono, while TCPMP plays it as stereo..
Can anybody point me into the right direction to get my mp3 ringtones working again on my orbit
They were working no problem yesterday but since removing a audio player (ibe) they wont work anymore, funny enough they will work if i convert them to wma format and still play no problem on the wmp but just dont work as a mp3 ringtone anymore
I did a search, but I couldn't find anything.
I recently put a few .mp3 ringtones on my memory card and assigned them to various contacts. However, when they play, they seem to be playing at 110% speed rather than 100%. They are slightly faster than normal playing speed.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I have the Core Media player installed and I know that you can *slow down* the speed at which music files play. However, I cannot adjust the speed when they are assigned to ringtones and/or when they are playing in WMP.
Oddly enough, when I play the songs using WMP through my bluetooth device, they sound just fine. They only sound bad when playing on the Dash through the speaker.
Ideas?
It could just be my phone, but has anyone noticed their music sounding like it have really really small breaks in the sound, almost like the music is crackling? I've even found this when listening to my Sirius Satellite Radio app.
Though I may have found a fix, at least for the music. Originally my music was 320bit and i had just copied a few songs to my GN. When I started to listen to the music i would get crackling like sound or where the music would have almost a stuttering factor. Well i was getting annoyed enough with the crackling I almost went back to my MP3 player. Though I decided to try it one last time but i wanted my entire playlist. Now my playlist was about 200 songs and across many directories so I wasn't going to try search the whole thing for individual songs. Using winamp I copied them all into one directory, unfortunately when Winamp does this it converts them all back down to wav files so I had to reconvert them.
My software for converting back to MP3 is older and only able to convert up to 256bit. I was thinking it was going to be just as annoying, but low and behold my music plays without a glitch, or crackle or break or what ever.
It's almost like the phone can't handle the higher quality of music. Now again this could just be me so I thought I would ask. Unfortunately my Sirius Satellite Radio app still crackles.
Anyone else find this?
also if u have used an app like volume+ to increase your speaker volume, or modify your volume that could be the issue
Good thought, though i never actually got around to installing the app so we can eliminate that as a cause.
Oh no, lossy to lossy transcoding! Those poor files.
I haven't had any issues playing 320kbps MP3 CBR or MP3 V0. If anything they sound better than on my old iPhone 3GS, especially with DSPManager.
Do they play without any distortion on your PC? Are you using the same headphones?
Perhaps playing around with the equaliser settings in DSPManager would improve the output.
Have had the same problem but only with one album so far, it is 320bit but I also have other albums at 320bits that play ok. Strangely the problem doesn't occur if the screen is on!
Give me to this weekend and let me hoot the phone up to my input on my PC maybe i can let you all hear what I hear.

I agree with first answer..........

I would agree too if I had actually installed volume+
I don't think it's to do with the bit rate as such but the encoder, or at least the encoding settings, that you used. Almost all my mp3 are in 320 kbps, CBR and VBR, and they all play fine.

the phone seems to clip a lot when the volume is at the top two levels. sounds bad. setting it to 3rd highest level or less makes it sound normal and smooth
Not sure if they fixed this with 4.0.3 yet, but it's a known issue that any SAMPLE RATE (not bit rate) other than 44.1KHz can cause stuttering when the phone is in screen-off low power mode. Some EQs that cause the cpu to work have been known to fix it. Also changing the buffer size in PowerAmp has also I think. There are a few threads about it. I have recreated it with another persons 48KHz sample rate mp3. All mine are 44.1KHz and I've never had a problem with any of them, they all sound fantastic.
