[Q] Volume spikes on song change Cm10.1 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey, noticed something at the gym yesterday, whenever i change the song on my s3 with cm10.1 and ktoonsez, the volume spikes and maxes out. Ive tried 3 different music players so i feel like its the rom. Anyone know a fix for this?

Not so sure about a fix but mine randomly spiked while it was playing on speakers. Now I'm not complaining about it cause I though volume was already at max (but guess it wasn't ) and actually made it better. Only happened once though so didn't really look into it. If I come across something, I'll post back.

I have not noticed this issue when useing my headphones to switch songs or useing the volume buttons. But it does do it from time to time when useing the screen to change songs.

Music Stops playing randomly

Does anyone have this problem? I'm on the latest version of AOKP with Franco Kernal...Everytime I listen to music, it will randomly stop and I would have to press play again. This happens at random times, (seconds, minutes, hours). I'm using Google Music (Play Music). I have tried PowerAMP and other players, but they seem too all do it.
It's kind of bugging me

It could be a bug with Franco's sound hacks he implements in his kernels. Perhaps try using a different kernel?

hmmm...can anyone else confirm this that's also using Franco's Kernal....
I get this on stock. I thought it was related to another piece of software (pocketcasts) that I installed about the same time the problems started. Seem that the first song is played, then it pauses or stops.
Could be a buggy headphone connector (in the phone), where it send a faulty signal telling the system that you have unplugged the headphones. Does it only happen while using headphones?
My connector does that as well, but opposite. When not using headpones it sometimes signals that something has been plugged in, and all audio is routed to the non-existing headphones.
this bug definitively occurs on francoKernel!
Try flashing another kernel (Popcorn for example) and the bug is gone.
Seems to have something to do with the sound limit. If it's too loud it stops automatically. Try reducing the volume to 60% with the hard buttons and you'll see that it stops acting like that.
It's not a Franco's kernel only problem. I have the same issue on Stock 4.0.2 (GSM, unlocked, unrooted).
It is not the headphone connector that is buggy either since i'm experiencing this with bluetooth headset as well (A2DP headset).
The music app is not crashing either since it doesn't require a full "load" when i select the app. Press play again and all is good until next time.
It happens to me on stock as well. With both the music and listen apps. Seems to happen if I'm playing music for a half hour or so without using the phone.

I have noticed this. When i turn down the volume it stops doing it. But when i turn it up to max it will start doing it again

I experience this on google listen on stock 4.0.1. I thought it was a bug with the app losing audio focus. But then they updated and claimed an audio focus fix, yet it still happens. I can force this bug to happen by multitasking moderately. So i truly think this bug is related to the over aggressive memory management on this phone.
Yea I'm using Axi0m and I notice this. I think its an issue with the headphone jack. When I installed power amp, one of the features is to detect connection to the headphones... then the phone started to randomly start and stop playing music completely random.
I updated and it seems to be fixed. Still stops occasionally but at least I can listen for an extended period.

I'm running Lean Kernel and I get this all the time when I have the volume set to MAX on the device itself, I find if I turn it down just a bump then the problem goes away. This may be some type of fail safe for the phone itself. ??? But just turn your vol down one click and you're good to go.
I always had issues playing music with franco.kernel, it did me just like you are talking about. That **** used to drive me crazy! Anyways, no issues with CM10 M2. Also using the built in CM kernel.
yup, had this thing on both stock and codename android. google music app
Just gotta wake up this thread.
I'm having this issue on CM10.2... I had this same thing on stock JB some time ago when I connected to my BT headset..
Is there any fix for this?
Btw.
I don't use any custom kernels and this is not caused by any kernel and I don't think this to be caused by BLE.

I had the same issue and realized I had the volume up too loud with the mods I had installed. Keep the volume below 80% and the problem will disappear.
Possible solution
I used to have this issue as well, where after a certain period of not actually using the phone, the music playback would just pause itself.
I discovered that I had Play music "Greenified" which is basically a hibernating task manager. That was killing the background process of any music players I had open.
Wether or not you have the Greenify app, check for any automatic task killers and get rid of them.. Maybe that will help one of you guys, it sure helped me.
Only had this happen using headphone volume boost... don't use it

Loud interference while listening to music.

Recently while I listen to music with headphones I get this random extremely loud buzzing sound that scares the crap out of me when I'm listening to music quietly. I haven't really been able to find the exact cause but have noticed that it usually happens when my phone is pulling data such as when I open a website. Seems to happen on Wifi. I use 3 different headphones and it has happened on all of them. Had this happened to anyone else? I'm currently on gummy 0.9.0 with Franco's milestone 2.

had it on aokp and cm9 but only when streaming music/downloading music and surfing the web (all done over 4G[verizon]) I just figure the phone is freaking out trying to handle it all.

My trusty Fascinate definitely surpasses the iPod/iPhone in all of that with voodoo sound as well as louder volume.
I notice Volune+ is really noisy when listening to music at low volumes. If I disable it, the noise is gone.

Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound did it
Have you tried enabling high performance audio with a custom kernel like glados/leankernel/franco? It really improved S/N ratio when listening to quiet music.
Give player pro with the dsp pack a shot, its all I run and my phone is my mp3player and I use it through my setup in my car...hard to beat..and I'm an audiophile so I'm crazy picky...you won't be disappointed

I actually disabled that because I thought it might be the issue but it still happened. I ended up disabling DSP manager and the audio often cuts out when I'm pulling data but doesn't make that loud ass noise.

Giving it a shot now. Sounds much better than Google music. Not sure if it will stop the music interruptions but I'll see.

Well everything so far has been a lie. Using player pro and that loud noise happened twice while I was downloading power amp from the play store. So it can't be DSP manager since I have it frozen with titanium.
Edit: I'm on wifi for the first time today so that could be another culprit. I listened to music for an hour straight earlier over 3G/4G and it hadn't happened at all.

Sorry man, I'm not sure, are your cables all good..any shorts or anything?

Bringing this back into the light as it is still an issue. I flashed BAMF earlier today after getting fed up with the Noise problem and found that it still exists. back on CM9 if I switch the number of background processes to one (under developer options) I was unable to recreate it. So it seems to be a memory issue. For those that haven't heard the problem, plug in some headphone or an AUX cable into your stereo start playing some music, open some apps, then go to the browser and surf. When a page is loading Scroll around really fast and zoom in and out a lot. Load pages back to back try a few different pages and its bound to happen. Try image heavy pages.
Hi, I've been following this thread and decided to add to the muddle.
I bought an inexpensive portable stereo dock for my Incredible 2, made by Auvio, and got a subscription to Slacker so I could stream music while I worked (I'm a massage therapist).
It uses a short coaxial cable terminated in a 2.5mm stereo plug to connect to my phone, and sounds pretty good for only having 1" diameter speakers. It worked well with my Incredible 2.
Two weeks later I find out Verizon is going to take away my "unlimited" data plan unless I upgrade to 4G, so I got my Galaxy Nexus.
Now when I try to use the GN with my dock, I keep hearing data noise in the speakers as the app grabs & buffers the music. This didn't happen with the Dinc2.
If I move the phone or touch the cable, it reduces, but doesn't eliminate the noise. It does not happen with headphones or the GN's speaker.
Does anyone think this could be related to the issues discussed here? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

But this reminds me of the exact noises i hear when using ondemand governor with parameters tweaked , it caused the cpu to apparently change frequencies too many times in to short a time span....it was like a loud buzz/crazy reverb type sound.
Hasn't happened once when using interactive

I've had it with both interactive and conservative . I'm currently on the linaro aokp 38 build and I've not had it happen yet (flashed the linaro update today). Before I flashed the linaro update I was on normal aokp 38 and had the problem. A little more testing needs to be done but maybe the linaro tweeks are cause a little more stability in the memory .

Seems like the problem is that, while the music is playing "in any app" its not being givin "High Priority" over the apps in the background or foreground. For example, if you jump to the browser and load a page that requires a large amount of CPU usage, the will cause the CPU to make the music app audio lag which might be the loud screech noise as a result when the music app looses priority.
While music is playing it should have higher priority so the phone doesnt lag the audio if that makes sense.
Thats my guess on whats going on, because it only happens when my phone is multi tasking or taking on CPU load in another app.
Like I also said previously it has happen to me so far on CM9 nightly with that kernal that came with it, and also on blackice and the kernal that came with black ice. also had the problem with the Samurai kernal.

Google Music audio distortion

Is anybody experiencing audio distortion with google music and 4.0.4?
It happens a lot (3-4 times during a song) and it sounds the same as a scratched CD (it sorta "hangs" on part of a song for a few seconds).
This is not the same as screen off distortion issue that was reported earlier by a lot of people. This one happens both when I am using the phone and when the screen is off.
Not happening here. Does it only happen when streaming (not stored music)? And is this on WiFi or 3G?

Both wifi and 3g. I doubt it's network related beacause the app shows that the song is fully buffered. Even if I go to the begining of a cached song it still happens.
i experienced similar behavior couples times with screen on playing long track/radio podcast/mix(stored internally) running 4.0.2(google music version was 4.1.512 - before updated logo) while gnex was connect to car aux, but i haven't be able to replicate it again.
Happens sometimes. Doesn't matter whether its local or streaming, but it seems related to the phone locking up or running out of RAM/CPU usage. Something along those lines because whenever it happens (rarely) the entire phone skips or locks up for a second.

You might be right. It does appear to happen more often when doing heavy multitasking.
It's kinda unusable for me right now because it's happening so lot.

Are your mp3s encoded in the 48khz range? If so it's a bug in the google music player which cause it to 'lag' while it decode the mp3 file, no problems on mp3s in the 44khz range. Dunno about the new ver of google music player haven't try it and don't intend to after i migrate to Poweramp.

Interesting. I just checked and I have about 20 48khz songs. I'm not sure if they are the ones that get distorted. I'll keep an eye on those tracks. Thanks!
This has bugged me for the longest time. *Hopes for a fix*
Just go for Poweramp. It's worth the money and it can play 48khz mp3s silky smooth. Just remember to set the options to 'Highest Thread Priority' and '750ms' buffers. There's a 14 days full features trial version, download it and have a try.
All of my songs are 44khz.
It hasn't happened on 4.0.4 yet.

For those that are having issues when the screen goes off, the following worked for me.
When a song is playing, go to the top of the screen to the "..." and select sound effects. Turn on the Equalizer to whatever you want and it should work much better for you.

Bluetooth A2DP stutter cuts out while streaming music

I have noticed since I upgraded from GS3 to Note 3 that when I am streaming music to my car stereo the audio will skip or stutter. The song continues to play but the audio cuts out for anywhere up to a second or two. Has anyone else seen this or resolved it?
I have seen some posts that say turning off WiFi fixed it but I still get the skip, if a little less frequently with WiFi turned off.
It seems to go away if I set the developer options to keep the screen awake while charging. So it seems like the CPU clock may be too low during sleep to maintain everything else it is doing as well as audio streaming.
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
This happens to me too sometimes. It seems worse when I first start streaming & then it calms down a bit. But it still occasionally skips. I experienced this on my note 2 as well though, so I don't think its an exclusive issue to the N3.
This is happening 4 or 5 times per song, so it is quite annoying LOL

Stock ROM? Stock Kernel? Need more info from both of you.
Sounds like the CPU might be dropping too low when the screen is off, causing the stuttering. You could try a custom kernel with a higher screen off frequency.
Used to happen on my S2 and this was the problem...

Full stock, I believe that is the problem as it is pretty much resolved when I leave the screen on. Still testing this here and there to be sure.
This has happened to me on every rom & kernel I've tried. Which is pretty much all of them for the N3, and everything from stock to CM on the N2.

I have the same problem on my GN3 international version and yes leaving the screen on WILL solve it. However, that's not a practical solution.
Try this, download Poweramp, go into settings, audio, advanced tweaks, set the audio buffer size to Large (+250ms) and audio thread priority to +2
See if that works for you. If it does, then buy the full version even though I like the timbre effect and bass on the stock music player but this is the only solution, so far.

A2DP loss
Note 3 Owner here. Rooted with stock ROM and stock kernel. (T-Mobile)
Experiencing intermittent Bluetooth audio loss as well.
Just contributing to the list.
-Steven M
BTW, what player are y'all using? In power amp there is an option for keep service awake if music.stops while.playing with screen off. And there is also option to use a wake lock also. I am not having any problems nor have I ever so I can't help. The only other suggestion I have is maybe your radio Bluetooth sucks. I went through a period of testing many Bluetooth headset and receivers a couple years ago. Needed something good to listen to my music while I rode my bike. Many of the Bluetooth I tested were very sensitive to the bumps and vibration while riding hard on my mountain bike. The only solution for those were to put receiver right next to my phone. Being in my pocket was too far away or something. I ended up sticking with Sony mw600 as all purpose. It could take any headset, and I was able to use it as a receiver in my truck as it didn't have Bluetooth. Now I also have a Honda civic with built in Bluetooth and all is well. My Sony mw600 oled stopped working though so in on lookout for a nice apt x receiver.

I am using a Sony DSX-S300BTX and have had no previous issues with my HTC Sensation 4G or my Galaxy S3. It only started when I got my Note 3. I use Google Play Music with the All Access service.
Just an update on this. Over the weekend I did a factory reset and this time I did not let it restore settings and apps from my Google account. I went through and installed all the same apps i was using before. And so far I have only noticed 1 stutter/cut out since then. And if I am correct, this only happened when I was leaving my house and it switched from Wifi to 4G LTE on the stream.
Will continue to monitor and see if the issue comes back. But so far I am rather happy.

I came from the Note 2 to the Note 3 and I'm fearing that it's 4.3 that is causing the bluetooth intermittent issue. Whether or not I stream from Pandora or my music player, I get the stutter. Doesn't matter what ROM I use between hyperdrive and beans too. Someone said it could be the adblock that is causing the stutter but I don't have that installed at all. Getting pretty frustrating.
Ended up not working for me,...but keeping the screen on did seem to eliminate the skipping.
Wonder if there's anyway to force Bluetooth not to sleep,....

I ONLY get the stutter when using the stock music player. It never happens when using, for example, TuneIn Radio.
I exchanged 2 Note 3's. The first one had the stutter problem so I returned it. The second one had NO stutter problems but overheated from time to time, exchanged as well. The third one doesn't over heat but, unfortunately, has the stutter problem. So, I just gave up. The PowerAmp solution works for me, though.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
Someone mentioned increasing the minimum CPU frequency and that would solve it. Try upping it to 400Mhz see what happens but this will definitely drain your battery more than usual.

The same thing happened to me on the note 2.... actually the n3 isn't as bad as the n2 was. Fwiw
sent from my ??????? note 3?
SO I have started to notice that it isn't actually the stream stuttering, but a short disconnect of the bluetooth. I noticed that when the music cuts out, it also drops the media connection to my car stereo, in that the artist and song title disappear until the connection comes back. Seems like a bad bluetooth stack or something as I tested a Nexus 5 and do not have this issue at all. And I never had a problem on my GS3.
Hopefully the 4.4.2 update will resolve this issue. Whenever that may be...
I have this problem as well, (stock rom rooted, stock kernel) I use power amp. now however I cant stream my music through bluetooth at all, but when a call comes in, it streams. Doing a little digging into my phone, my N3 seems to think im in a call, and only plays my music through the speaker for your ear. it only started a few hours ago. even when I am not connected to bluetooth, it still plays music through the same speaker. tried uninstall reinstall. I did update apps earlier when I got home (ove wifi). once they were done, that seems to be when this issue started.
any help/suggestions?

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.

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.
