I may be mistaken but I believe the issue is consistent with apps that use WiFi to make use of their service, instead of Data. The audio lags over the wifi connection. So it's not the app itself, as the issue persists across many apps ie. skype, fongo/dell voice/magic jack.

I'm not entirely sure myself but its definitely not a Skype issue, its some sort of general audio issue and using Skype just seems to be the easiest way to reproduce it. Adam77 mentioned he thinks he knows whats up with it so hopefully we will see a code patch that can be applied to all affected ROMs soon.

yes its a genral audio problem as also the video camera can't record sound as well as the sound recorder. its a general bug in the sound.

No, the problem is when mic audio is routed to userspace, playback becomes distorted. You don't need Skype to reproduce it -- start music playing, then open Sound Recorder. Start recording. Music will stop. While still recording, resume playing via the notification bar. Ugly ugly noises come out.

Audio annoyances with latest OTA

Unfortunately, I updated to the OTA today (rooted version) to discover that all the quirks I had with CM6 RC1 exist in the official HTC 2.2 ROM as well. ANY solutions to these would be greatly appreciated:
1. Audio quality over streaming (Think Pandora or Slacker) is greatly reduced. I believe I read this being due to a different decoder being used now? Is there any way to fix this?
2. You cannot listen to music and use GPS+voice prompts. As soon as the GPS software talks, the music completely pauses, and will not resume. On 2.1, it would simply mute the music while it talked. This is ridiculously annoying! Any hope for fixing this? It doesn't seem to matter what sort of music, be it the actual music app, Pandora, etc.

Unfortunately that seems to break a lot of other stuff, like the video camera and some video playback. And I can't seem to find any info on the other problem either :/
So HTC still has not fixed the crappy decoder issue?
That would seem to me to be a HUGE issue-- apps like Pandora/Slacker/Last.fm are one of the main drawing points of a device like this.
I am on the leaked 2.2, and Pandora sounds fine to my ears, but Slacker and Yahoo Music sound worse then music you hear when being put on hold in a conference call.

I was directed here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9569 yesterday when I brought up the same issue on a different thread. Looks like it actually kicked in at the last OTA, not this one. Before the 1.47 ota, the audio would go right back to playing pandora after nav told you to take a left.

Yeah, it is a huge issue. I use streaming radio at least an hour a day. It's one of the top reasons I give people for owning the device. I'm really disappointed in Google and their apparent lack of QC for letting this type of bug through. Whether or not these apps can do something to fix it, no point OS update (2.1 -> 2.2, e.g.) should break existing functionality in this way. It's really embarrassing.

JB bluetooth/dialer problems

Has anyone else experienced the flowing BT issues with jelly bean?
1. Can't make any 3rd party dialer apps the default without completely disabling google search
2. Built in voice dialer so bad its unusable when used with bluetooth
3. Cant use the center button to activate any voice functions except built in voice dialer. No google search.
4. If you answer a call while listening to media then after hangup media resumes again at zero volume?
5. If you are a heavy BT user like myself are you happy with JB?
None of the above were issues with my sony mw600 on ICS.
I haven't tried the others, but I do have issues 2 and 3. They have been reported on here multiple times, but no solution yet.

If its convenient could you try #4. I'd like some confirmation that I'm not alone.
I can't even get jb to see my hands free
Same problem.
It looks like Google messed up the Bluetooth functionality.
Voice Search is useless.
I purchased voice speed dial and now it can't be activated using the BT button or the center button.
What's interesting is that "Voice Search" that came preinstalled does work with the BT button unless I disable it.

Actually I did get mine to work. You have to first disable google search which basically nullifies all of the new JB features on the phone.
There are only 2 or 3 devices that officially have jelly bean at this point. As more devices come over the complaining will certainly rise. Wait and see. I think this is a pretty big deal.

re: #4 - I don't have a problem resuming media playback after a phonecall over bluetooth. I do however get a 5 or so second lagwhen connected to my car's audio system... Maybe that's what's causing it? Have you tried waiting a few seconds to see if it plays?
I have an issue since 4.0.4 where my MW600 is lagging, audio from games and notifications is lagging 1-2 seconds... In calls and videos played with the built in video player, audio plays just fine, no lag... In my iPad 2, Nokia E51, Motorola Milestone, the same headset also works just fine, no lag perceived in any scenario....

No, I don't think it lags although its possible because volume level goes to zero and I can't hear a thing until I raise it again. It seems like the media starts again upon phone hang up, you just can't hear it a zero volume. I am using an mw600 bluetooth headset.

CM10 Bluetooth Audio Stream sounds tinny

I get no bass when streaming music, only what sounds like mid and treble. I tried finding the DSP Manager app, but I'm not able to open it for some reason, unless it's been merged into the settings.
Haven't tried Bluetooth lately so I don't know if the issue was ever fixed but after starting up BT make a call and then hang up when it connects the sound will be normal after that. It was a cm10/aosp issue from long ago...
May or may not be your problem, just thought I would pass that along

This works but I'd rather not have to do it every single time I want to listen to music, especially if I just run into the store real quick then come back out to resume the stream. Right now, I just place a quick call to voicemail then end it, so tha the stream kicks in normally.
Does anyone know if they fixed this bug in any of the 10.0 nightlies after 10.0 stable? I don't much care for 10.1, if it can be avoided.

Quiet microphone in Snapchat

Hi there
When recording videos with Snapchat, the sound is way too quiet. When using other apps like voice recorder or the camera app, it works fine. I also recently replaced the battery cover
I suspect the issue is something regarding which microphone Snapchat uses. Maybe the the mic doesn't function properly without the noice cancellation mic, which Snapchat may not utilise etc.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it?
heres some more info on the problem: snapchat only records audio with the top mic on this phone, which is probably supposed to be used for noise cancellation. this issue is not apparent in all non-sense roms, like cm10.2 and aosp based romps; the mouthpiece mic is used to record audio so the audio works fine. but then in custom roms the camera profile is different, so it is not possible to record 10 second videos in snapchat. it stop recording at about 6 seconds. heres more info on the 2nd issue: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2343.
Thanks

Heey .. I've the same problem with my HTC ONE X ... this is what I dislike about Android in general, each phone has its own running kinda system, yet all android apps are the same in every device despite the differences.

Unless you own a Nexus, GPe, or soon a "Silver" certified device. Something maybe to consider when purchasing my next phone

audio skipping...anyone else have this problem?

I've searched the forums and found quite a bit of people saying they have experienced this, but I'm not sure if they were using notes or not.
For some reason, it doesnt matter what app I'm using, pandora, xm, or the stock players. They all studder just slightly, sometimes more so when the screen is off.
It's not a bluetooth specific thing, it happens over bluetooth as well as the speaker of the note3.
Is there a solution for this? It really drives me crazy and how can I host a party next weekend with this doing that
My girlfriend does not experience this on her nexus 5, is my problem specific to jellybean?
Thanks for your advice!

yep same problem.
i had it on nexus 4 - 4.3. but um, didn't start on my note 3 until after a few days of use. I'm not sure rebooting helps for long. i tried poweramp and jetaudio and stock player. Skips everywhere.
I tried setting decoder priority and buffer size to higher on Poweramp. Not sure if it'll help but we'll see.
I'm on N2 right now that has exact same problem, but BT only related. The micro pauses also differ between the receivers Sony Ericsson MW600 is so far the worst offender, the pauses last 1/2 second, on other receivers it's barely noticeable.
At least on N2 it's not related to the JB version, it was happening on 4.1.2 and 4.3. Changing kernel also doesn't affect the issue.
I suspect the cause is BT doesn't get enough priority and if lot's of apps running on the background it starts skipping. Usually I just reboot the phone then it works fine for a few hours, sometimes I use fast reboot app, that kills background processes it helps somewhat too.

Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
>Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
yup. same. now wish they'd add the same features to jetaudio+ and other players D:
I get this problem often. Odd.
I'm not sure if this is a solution but I noticed the problem went away when I was using different roms/kernel combinations.
Currently I've been using the compulsion kernel with some international roms and the problem hasn't come back!
Is it the kernel or rom I can't be sure. But either way it's fixed.
If someone experiencing problems with their rom wants to try the compulsion kernel and see if the problem still exists maybe it can help a lot of people.
