Crackling and popping sound - Help? - HTC One X

When i watch youtube videos on my phone, or use different apps, the sound crackles and pops every now and then. I've read tons of people having problem with this. I know i had the problem before i rooted the phone, and i still have the problem now.
The weird thing is that i dont get this problem while using Spotify.
Anyone got a solution for this? Im dying to know.

It happens to me only when I use the You tube app when playing music or watching a video it doesn't do it it really does ruin the experience I haven't came to a solution yet sorry. I had two previous faulty HTC now x's they didn't have this odd fault.

Anyone experience a popping sound?

Hello, does anyone experience a popping sound when they listen to music or watch videos? It's been happening to me quite frequently, and it seems to happen quite randomly. It also seems to 'pop' when i press the volume down or volume up buttons while watching a video or listening to music.
Anyone else experiencing this? I've determined it's not a problem with the video since I don't get any popping sound when I watch the exact same video on my laptop, and the popping sound doesn't happen at a fixed interval or anything. It also isn't a problem with my earphones as I've tried using the one supplied by HTC as well.
Any help please?
From memory I had this when playing around with dsp manager

I've had this once while browsing YouTube, don't know what caused it but it was annoying.
I rebooted my phone and its not happened since

All the time. I've got a Desire S with Sense 3.5 and that pop's as well.
Wow okay that sucks. Shall try turning off Beats Audio to see if it changes things. Or could it be an inherent HTC problem? Hmm.

Music Player Problems

hey guys, currently running 1.29 on my unbranded HOX.
Noticed earlier while listening to my music through the stock music player that the songs kept semi skipping for a couple of seconds and the music sounded very, how to put it, crackly and popping, has anyone else had this problem?

It's been posted a few times I believe its to do with beats.

Yeah I have read about beats but I thought the problem being discussed was full songs skipping, also thought 1.28 was supposed to have fixed it, hopefully HTC can sort it out! I'm no audiophile but its damn annoying.
I have it to. First i thought that is was my headset now i read its the phone on 1.26 i never had probs

i had this too. the 1.29 update seems to finally have fixed it.
that or that i am now using ubermusic with beats enabled
Hello. 1st time posting, new Android user.
I have the very same problem and it seems to be getting worse. It's definitely to do with the phone adjusting network, as when it's in airplane mode it doesn't happen at all. As I travel on a train that goes along a coast line, in and out of tunnels - this is really getting to be annoying.
I'm using both DoubleTwist and the stock music player, happens with both EQ/Beats on or off.
I don't really want to buy another music player

But if ubermusic really solves the problem then I might look into it.
Also happens when watching vidoes inc. streaming video.
This really is a bit of a joke - "Authentic Sound" they said. So far it's about as authentic as an old walkman. I'm smitten with the phone in general, but this is unacceptable.
Maybe there's another fix. Perhaps a 3rd party app conflict? Any ideas?
1.29.401.11
I have this probelm as well, I thought it was my bluetooth headphones until I connected my wired headphones and the problem was still there - Poweramp is better than the stock player. Will try ubermusic tonight and see if that helps. The Galaxy nexus had this problem but was sorted with an update - hopefully HTC will do so too - quickly.
I am on 1.29...11 by the way.

remember android has a 15 minute period in which you can get a refund for an app - if it doesn't work open the play store for ubermusic and the buy button should have changed to a refund button.
(ubermusic is also skinnable, i didn't like the default but the ics style one is nice)

beats won't be "authentic sound" - music with no EQ applied will be the most authentic. but i get the point!

Exactly, it seems to be not just the network coverage, but any notification coming while the music is on.
Happens to me while traveling by subway, the network coverage is only in stations, not between them, and the music starts skipping right away after leaving/before getting to the stations. Also if the network coverage is OK (outside) but you get a notification from calendar, music crackle the same way.
Contacted HTC support and they replied to me to get a replacement device from my reseller...
Bit of an update on this one.
I checked what apps were running in the background - to see if there was anything I could kill to see if it made a difference.
I noticed the widget for SeriesGuide was running, despite my not using the widget or the app for a long time (I had rebooted the phone on occasions since not using the app).
So I uninstalled that application, cleared all cache using ES Task Manager and shut down the phone (not reboot). I heard that a restart could just solve the issue anyway.
Hey presto, no cracking audio or video so far - (that's 3 1hour train journeys).
I'm not entirely 'blaming' SeriesGuide, it may have been anything - but it's worth checking whats using resources that isn't running - I'm sure many of you do this anyway.
One interesting thing is, I was browsing the net or something last night on the couch, just using the phone - when I noticed it started to make pretty audible pops for no reason - about 5, and then nothing. No problem on the train this morning though - so for now I'm happy.
Install poweramp and problem disappear
Inviato dal mio HTC One X
I tried Poweramp - despite not liking it, it didn't solve my problem.
Service repair
Sent my HTC One X to service repair for diagnostics and the final statement is - faulty motherboard. Anyone having issues with crackling music player either when the network signal is lost or when the notifications pop up, go and return your phone.
Well, since my last post explaining what I did to remove the crackle, I've had none at all.

Click during Youtube with handsfree speaker

Hi guys,
i've installed OTA 1.29.401.11 on my HTC One X but now, during reproduction of a youtube video, i hear many "clicks"...it seem like the very old cd burners when they aren't capable to extract the tracks.
Someone has the same problem?
Thanks
Exactly the same happen to me!
Sounds good to me that the problem isn't only mine.
I don't know if the issue depends on the last OTA.
I had this once and rebooting the phone cured it. It affected all audio for me including videos in the gallery
Don't have that problem. But a reboot of the phone might help or check if the youtube application needs an update...
do you have the same problem when using a headset?
I thought it's somehow related to the YT app itself. It's the only one I'm getting these audio clicks and stutters in. The problem gets especially crazy I have Audio FX Widget turned on (absolutely no problem in any other apps that play audio).

YouTube Audio Stutter

Hi guys,
Is anyone experience an intermittent audio stutter on the YouTube app. I was watching some YouTube videos this morning and there was no issue, however just 5 minutes ago I fired up YouTube and on every video I view every 30 seconds to 2 minutes the audio will stop for less then a second then continue.
Really annoying, sound off if you have it guts. It seems be be intermittent.

I've had this problem too but its fine at the moment running the latest LeeDroid rom.
I've had this bug happening to me as well. The problem is exaggerated when using some kind of EQ or DSP app/ widget.
What really annoys me is the loud pop whenever the audio chip is being turned on/ off. This can be heard (especially well with headphones) in every app that plays sound.
had the same problem on stock, very annoying...
Found that reinstalling flash solved it.
Now running charmeleon 5.0, no stutter.
Hope it helps
Have the same problem on stock! Have to reboot in order to get it fixed

Yep. I have it too. Latest Vodafone branded stock. Youtube app stutters and pops like crazy. When I play the same video through the browser it doesn't though.

[Q] Bluetooth audio skips/stutters

Hi! I wanted to post about an issue with bluetooth audio i've had since ever, but now i'm using it a lot so i want to try and solve it. I used to use stock and just converted to GPE. In both cases, the same problem happens: When i connect my phone to my car speakers through bluetooth, every song stutters for a second or two, sometimes several times in the same song. By searching on the forum the only tip i found was change the read ahead value. I tried a bunch of higher values, none of them worked.
I can say that the car bluetooth works fine with an iphone, so i have no reasons to blame it on the car audio.
And of course, there's no problem when i'm playing through the phone's speakers or headphones.
UPDATE: Forgot, something else happens with music: Sometimes it sorts of goes into a higher pitch, like a higher tone or something. And makes music sound weird. this happens occasionally as well.
Thanks in advance for the help
Mine does this too, with calls as well. Very frustrating....

Yeah, i know it's awful. And i'm sure my car is fine, an iphone worked fined with it.
So i guess no one really knows anything on how to fix this. :c
