Whenever I use google nav and htc music, lastfm, or pandora the music plays until Nav says something. At that point the music stops, i have to switch to the music player, and press play, and go back to Nav. This doesn't work well when i'm driving through neighborhoods and nav is speaking every few seconds. Is there a way to get both the audio from music and google nav to work at the same time without nav pausing the audio?
I know I can mute google nav and the music will continue to play but that means I have to be watching my phone more than i'd like to- safety issue.
Thanks!
I dont think there is a fix for it at the moment. I want to say that it started with the 2.2 update. Beforehand I think the music would start back up automatically.
i can confirm this bug as well. Very Annoying.
yeah no fix for this yet - frustrating as all hell.
you can star the issue on Google code here;

For what it's worth, Bplayer doesn't have this problem. It acts exactly like the stock music player / Pandora etc used to in 2.1 where it just mutes when the Nav is speaking.
I don't know if this helps narrow down the problem or not, but it's how I'm working around the issue.
I just put my nav on mute and listen to the music

Hi folks,
I've noticed today when listening to music on spotify or Google music that every 20 or so there's a little stutter with my music, like a small gap of silence when the beats audio is enabled. Very minimal, like 0.5 of a second silence. Disabled everything is fine. I've tried different headphones as well as a speaker dock and it's the same.
Anyone else encountered this?

I got the same thing
Only happens when beats is enabled, only the music app is running and the screen is off.
When you disable beats, poof problem goes away!
My guess is that the fifth companion core doesnt handle the beats software well. The beats equalizer probably isnt written all too well for it and causes it to stutter.
My solution so far is to disable beats (as stupid as that is for a beats enabled device) and wait for a software update in the future.
Also worth mentioning, it seems to happen alot more with apps not optimized for ICS like spotify (which is buggy as it is).

I am having the same issue. It's extremely annoying. I would like to use Beats because it's a feature of the phone but I can't put up with the annoying stutters.
Or I can't hear it, or I don't have this issue...
Seems some issue there mentioned and known already.....

3G is the cause
I also having this issue, and it only occurs when i have beats audio enabled, playing internet radio through 3G in sleep mode. When i try it with wifi (beats audio enabled,sleepmode)instead of 3G than there is no stutter/skipping.
3G internet radio with beats disabled is also stutter free.
Edit: It seems that internet radio puts more stress on the cores with wifi enabled so that it won't switch to such low clocks that the audio is stuttering
I've noticed one "pop" about twenty seconds after I turn the screen off, when Beats is on and playing music using the stock app. Best guess is that it's the transfer from main cores to the companion that causes it. It only happens the one time per screen off.
I get that problem too but listen without beats now which cures it. No loss as well because initially beats on sounded good. More bass, more treble.
But after a bit, it sounded harsh and unnatural. I can get the same effect with beats off by just upping the volume without it getting annoying after a few mins.
So I listen to Spotify with beats off...
Same issue for me too, through both wired headphones and bluetooth and with both the stock music player and GoneMAD music player. Sound was dropping constantly.
Turning off beats and I've had very few glitches.
The fix is to. While you listen to Spotify, settings, sound, sound improvment, change headphone type to Beats PRO. Then there is no stuttering. :-D

Indeed, it works !
for me, it only stutters with the screen off, beats enabled, and if the track playing is in the FLAC format. Must be something to do with the extra processing power needed for that + the beats audio - something that the companion core doesnt handle very well.

hmm could be indeed, since i have only played FLAC or internetradio while experiencing the issues (have not tried MP3 since i have my One X).
But with the beats audio set on Beats Pro headset(like mentioned above) does resolve the stuttering, even with FLAC files
my audio stutters occasionally when playing through the HTC Music app with or without Beats enabled. Very frustrating.
Hmm seems like a solution:

hopefully in 1.1.4 (tomorrow)
btw u can try adding this line in build.prop & reboot.
lpa.decode=false
It seems that the stutter is fixed in ROMeOS 1.1.4

All,
Just a quick FYI - had the stutter and skip issues myself - fixed them all by downloading 3rd party apps from the store - so far no issues, using mobo player for video and n7player for music...both free (but I think n7player is in beta and plans to license it) and both do better than the HTC default apps.
I purchased this app and would like to use it as my main player, but it's sitting on the back burner because it doesn't fade out when I receive GPS directions or switching to another music app like DigitallyImported. I tried going through the settings and searching online, but no luck.
Please help
Well depends on what Google Maps or Navigation app you are using. I am going to give you advice based on the Google default Map and Navigation apps. So under PowerAmp you hit the settings menu and go to Audio, Audio Focus, and then make sure that you have the Short Audio Focus Change and Permanent Audio Focus Change checked. I have not had an issue with audio fading out for directions when using these settings and the Google Map and Navigation apps. The only app that has caused me issues with PowerAmp not stopping audio is the iHeartRadio app which, for some reason does not pause PowerAmp and, instead plays both audio streams ontop of each other until I manually pause one.
Thank you! Looks like my issue is that I'm still running v1.xx so audiofocus was not available in the menu. I'll have to update
Is there a poweramp setting to silence notifications when it is playing? I'm thinking that there is but I can't find it.
Anyone?

Have you tried AUDIO> Audio Focus > Short Audio Focus Change

When i use a 3.5 mm jack headphones and press play in the music player the audio volume automatically jumps up to high which is a really annoying problem.
I thought that the cause of this problem is the music player itself so i tried google player and had the same problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Anyone notice the volume going up and down while audio plays through external speakers? Using play music app no EQ on
during a single play or is there a difference between tracks?
It's all tracks, but not 100% of the time. It's very odd
I play music all the time in my car and over Bluetooth speakers and have never had that happen. You sure it's not lowering during a notification?

I have been facing the same issue as well. But only when playing it through speaker. The issue doesn't happen when connected to my bluetooth headphone.
It only happens through phone speakers,
Same thing was happening on my of pixel XL...YouTube did it too. Annoying as hell.
