Music skips when I unlock my phone - PowerAmp - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did not have this problem when I was on the stock rom. But since flashing CM7.2 my music skips just a little when the phone unlocks. It is not stopping the music or causing that much trouble - it's just very annoying. Especially considering it was never like that before. I use PowerAmp for my music and I only listen to lossless music files (flacs or apes).
Does anyone know anyway to stop this?

As a regular Poweramp user, have you tried increasing the audio buffer size?

Yeah, tried that and it still skips

[Q] EVO music player wont resume correctly after paused

Ive been messing around with my brothers EVO and have noticed that when playing audio in the default music player or even music players from the market they will not resume from where they are left off after being paused. They start from the beginning.
Has anyone else encountered this, or any ideas?
I've noticed this as well, but it happens with the Sense music widget, not the actual music player. There is a difference.
For example, if you downloaded an audio track from a website, and once the DL completes you tap on the notification bar, it opens the music widget instead of the full app.
Hope this helps. I don't experience this issue when using the music app.
EVO 2.2 w/3.29
Yup, thats it, hmmm what a mild inconvenience
Problem is with 3.29. I also noticed some stuttering in certain music apps.
Since i listen to a bunch of podcasts and because of some other problems i noticed, I've gone back to 3.26-with netarchy's kernels it works just as well (if not better).

I don't think it's a 3.29 issue. I've tried different roms.
Currently I'm using refined 1.04 and the music player resumes just as it should. I tried Azrael X and the music player will start from the beginning instead of resuming where it was paused.
I assume the music player needs to sore it's bookmark somewhere. Anyone have an idea where that might be? And, what's different between these 2 roms that accounts for the difference in unpausing?

[Q]Bluetooth Skipping tracks.

I have a blueant q2 and when ever i listened to music and skip a song itll skip 4-5 tracks until it plays the next. Weird thing is it feels like it only wants to play tracks from two albums. Ive tried it on three different music players. Stock, Uber music and google music.
Anyone else having this issue or know a fix?

Your Pressin' It Too Hard (Some Ppl Dont Know Their Own Strength) Or Maybe The Device Is Defective..Or Could Be In Relation To The Rom..

[Q] listening to music

hello
just received my gnex, its brilliant.
i tried listening to music with stock player, and the sound is a bit messed up.
Im wondering whether there is an issue, or whether its a matter of playing with the equaliser?
its just that i tried listening to an album and the songs sound weird. tried to fix it with the equaliser in the setting but didnt really do the trick..
thanks
Have you tried turning '3D effect' all the way down (off)?
Why not get PowerAmp from the market? Lots of EQ settings and other tweaks to get some great sound?

[Q] MP3 sound quality issue

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 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.

[Q] Beside stock music player which one should I choose?

Hi folks,
I'm interested at using a different music player since the stock music player doesn't give me much in terms of features.
I've had PowerAMP (Paid) problem with is that every time I get an SMS message the music cuts out to play the sounds in my headphone and then the music blares out on the out speaker and then once the inbound sms sound is done it's plays back into the headphones.
I've had DoubleTwist similar type of problem but not as bad and unless you paid attention you wouldn't notice. BUT it's a huge memory HOG while running and playing music is eats about 55mb in the memory and I can't send the APP to SD.
What other alternatives do I have? I was considering PlayerPro but I really am trying not to have to pay for an APP.
I was looking at Winamp which I love but I would need their PRO version which again is a bummer cause I really am trying not to buy it.
Any suggestion?
Cheers.

TTPod. Unfortunately the latest version is Chinese only, but someone has made an unofficial translation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551201
On a sidenote: does anyone know a musicplayer that supports lockscreen controls on ICS, besides the stock player? I tried Cloudskipper, ZPlayer, ÜberMusic, WinAmp, Poweramp, the MIUI player and TTPod, but none supports it afaik.
I like MIUI's music player. I think it's available to non-MIUI users. Just google it.

Have you gone through all the settings in PowerAMP? There are several pages of settings for how notifications work while music is playing, how headphones work with music/notifications/plugin/etc, and more. Pretty sure that you can configure things the way you want if you spend some time in the settings pages.
PowerAMP 2.x is working great on my Xperia Pro (MK16a), with just the slightest dimming of the music to play are very dim notification alert, and then going back to normal volume, without interrupting the music nor changing which speakers the music comes out of.
Pheonix,
I've been through all the options in PowerAMP each time a notification will come on while music is playing (depending on the settings) it's on. Music will either fade or cut out. The notification will play but the MUSIC will resume on the external speaker for about 3seconds before switching back to Internal.
It's been doing that ever since I got it and with every music playing I've tried. I'm running on stock .62 rooted and there's no customization that's been done.
Now I've actually loaded the MIUI Music player back on my phone and actually that solved my problem. So this leads me in the direction that some of the music player interfere to an extent with the notification/speaker process.
Cheers.
Actually, I just noticed this issue last night while listening to music and getting texts from the wife. This didn't happen before.
I'm fairly certain that it's a new bug, as the 1.x versions never had this problem, and the early 2.0.x versions didn't either.
I'll go through my backups and see if I can find a version that doesn't have this issue.
Have you reported this to the PowerAMP devs?
Have you tired UBERMUSIC..?????
Its awsome....!!!!!
