I am having a problem streaming A2DP music. On some of my songs there is static when streaming to my sound system. When I used another phone (myTouch 3g, and iPhone) the sound quality is perfect without static.
Has anybody noticed static on some songs (mostly songs with a lot of guitar and voice going on at the same time)?
Is there anything I can do to edit the blue tooth and stop the static? Maybe a tweek/hack? Its not the worst static, but I am picky when it comes to music quality.
Thanks!
Install SRS WOW HD 121 and fiddle around with the settings. You have to search for the cab yourself. It will improve overal sound quality and maybe let you reduce static.
ive had that problem as well sometimes what i would do is turn the headset off and then back on 1 or 2 times and then its gone i think its just a bug
I installed the srs wow hd 121 and couldnt find the file to fun it. also, i would get an error when trying to enable bluetooth. because of this I uninstalled the program.
I reset my phone many times and it still didnt stop. the static seems to be getting worse. I cant even find a a2dp key in the registory.
do you have a cab by any chance for it?
Thanks

The sound is fine through the speaker, but on two sets of 'phones, there is a slight click or pop when I start an mp3 or something, although I can also hear the static-type click when I push the start button.
No pop/click when using external speakers at all EDIT: I can hear the pop/click through the speaker as well, just more faintly as I have the volume lower.
This doesn't happen on my old Tosh e400.
As I bought this to use it on the tube as an mp3 player / book reader / phone, I am kind of desperate to find out the cause and fix it.
I tried 2 different mp3 software players in case it was that, and I have tried the registry key tweak (Priority256) as well.
I am on the 1.31 with all O2 stuff cancelled on a hard reset. Was there anything to do with this in the O2 extended ROM? I have manually installed all the non-O2 stuff (I think) from my Extended ROM folder, and left the O2 stuff out.
Please help, this is twisting my melon!
Thanks,
Joe
EDIT #2: I did another hard reset and just allowed the O2 stuff to install. Crack and pop still present. Are there any different drivers or audio setups I could try?
Ok, nobody answering that post so let me rephrase my questions:
1. If you listen REALLY carefully, can you hear a slight static pop when you begin playing an mp3 or playing any other sound (may have to use earphones to detect it). If so I think I can live with it - just don't want to be the one with the 'duff' XDA IIs.
2. Do the ROMs have anything to do with how audio is played? Are there drivers for the playing of audio in the ROMs? Could I try other ROM's out, if so, then which ones?
sounds to me like its hardware related, also have you tried a new set of earphones???
i had this problem and it was sorted with new earphones....
you could try a rom upgrade or downgrade to see if your rom is duff!!, but i doubt that will work./.... 8)
year sounds to me that its hardware related. you know that the head phone input is a different size to standard headphones. if your using a converter then this may be the cause of the problem.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Update to my problem:
1. Tried 2 pair of phones. Both have the static.
2. Static (I am calling it this now as it is like static from an old record player, only more faintly heard) appears throughout playing music or sounds on both the internal speaker and through the external headphones.
3. Tried without the 3.5>2.5 headphone adapter and the same result.
4. New finding!! If I play an mp3 and press the red end call button, a flurry of static type sounds is briefly heard over the top of the music.
Can I ask if anyone gets the static/funny sounds when pressing the red end call button during music playing with the windows media 9 application?
hey guys. im seriously considering getting one of these phones. but i gotta know - does the music playback skip, lag or breakup of sound every 5 minutes or so? this was a horrendus problem that still exists to this day on my touch diamond and no matter what i did i couldn't fix it. i noticed it on my Xperia as well but it is much less pronounced and i'm actually ok with it. would like to hear from anyone who listens to music on their TP2, especially from owners who have / had a touch diamond and/or Xperia for comparisons sake.
Ive tested many applications for listening to music and on none of them i had any trouble with lagging or breaking up.. I now use coreplayer and playback is awesome. So i think you should go for it
Um... I know this might sound stupid, but ...... have you tried another pair of headphones ?
I have never had even a single brake up, lagg or w/e while listening to music on my Xperia and never had any issues with the TP2 either. I have used the Touch Pro 2 for 2 full days so far (it is not mine) and a lot of on and off use, but I was listening to a lot of music both of those days and never had any problems. As thecompany said, playback is awesome .
What player are you using? Try:
Mort Player
Pocket Music
Pocket Player
S2P Player
thanks guys, that's is pretty much what i wanted to hear.
@ orelsi
lol it's not my earphones. i have 4 or 5 pairs of em here and its the same with all of them, i should have been a bit more specific in my OP: this problem with music stuttering / lagging was really BAD on my touch diamond, not so much the Xperia. nothing fixed it including trying diffrent players, different roms both stock and cooked. different earphones (lol), moving music from internal storage to phone's memory, disabling touchflo3d, i could go on and on with what i tried but none of them worked. do a search here on diamond mp3 lag and you'll know what im talking about. The only thing i did not try was with my bluetooth headphones. but I am not in love with the idea of that, A2DP degrades audio quality and bluetooth is just another hit on the devices battery life.
After trying it again tonight i can hardly notice it at all on my Xperia, to a point it doesnt bother me at all unlike the diamond. I use Coreplayer v1.30 on both phones since HTC's Audio Manager sucks and refuses to play music downloaded from iTunes (DRM Free at that) and the same story with the Media Panel on the Xperia.
I think im still gonna go for the Rhodium anyways. droool @ that nice big screen.
no lags at all .. tested BT headsets from Anycom and Sony
but I got question realted the music .. where should I store the the music or playsist so that I got them at hend when using Winamp or the HTC deliverd soft?
I am tired of maunally chosing again and again and again from storage ...
thx

Don't know if it was ever mentioned on the Diamond forum, but did you ever tweak the storage settings to see if changing timings and cache settings improved things?
Were they high bitrate files?

i have found a lot of programs to convert the video to phone size but one problem remains. is there a way to boost audio strength? i had a program a while back for my mt3g but i cant find it anymore. forgot what it was called.
everytime i play any type of video on my phone and pass it through to my car system its so low that i have to crank it to max. even then, it wont get any louder past 28 and the loudest setting is 35. i know its not my system because at 20-25 it makes peoples ears bleed.
thanks
found a program called formatfactory. settings look pretty cool and free.
it has the audio boost by db.. will try this and post info
I like DVD Catalyst, works great everytime and can modify all the settings including boosting audio volume
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.

Hi all,
I really enjoy listening to music a lot, and wanted to use my Desire as a MP3 player, so I don't have to drag my iPod around as well.
Now - I get _really_ disappointed with the quality of sound that comes out of that phone.
Be it net radio, last.fm or flac music on the SD card, I hear a lot of interference from the WLAN and 2g/3g network on the headphones (you know. bssssss / dak-a-dak-a-dak, brrrrr, depending on which connection I am on). Not very loud, but very disturbing if you are listening to low-volume music.
Do you suffer from the same problem? Did anyone find a solution to this?
(I found a few similar posts, but none really matching as they cover speaker/BT headsets)
I use my Desire to play mp3 and to listen FM and streaming radio and I've never heart any interference.
Maybe it's another device what is causing the noise?
I also use my phone to listen to music / podcast and never noticed any interferences.
Did you check your headset cable (I've noticed it's the biggest unwanted noise generator when listening to music on the go) ?
Well - partly it is indeed my headset cable.
Although I am using Sennheiser cx150, which sound quality is really good in my opinion, it seems that the cable is very poorly shielded.
So I tried with various other earphones, and the interference is less. Still not gone, which still annoys me, but less.
Oh well, i gonna spend another bunch of money for new headphones until I get a new phone :-(
Thanks, all.
