Music playback is stopped at random times. Usually the phone is in my pocket. I thought my headphones were getting unplugged. But it seems to be something else. Has anybody experience this issue?

I've had it happen when streaming music over the air (Pandora or Slacker); I have pretty poor reception in my yard. I have not had any stops/skipping with music I have downloaded to my phone.
I think it does have something to do with the headphone jack. It seems to be a little out of spec. I have like 2 headphone plugs that will stay in securely, while the rest, if twisted, will pop slightly loose, enough to kill playback.

It's a design flaw. Check this thread for more info.
You may need to try a new pair of headphones.
good find gunther lol
i got tired of the app altogether some time ago so i use ZPlayer.
check it out..its pretty dope!
I had the phone sitting on my desk and the music stopped again. There was no way I moved the headphones chord to make it fail. All I noticed was that the the synch notification was displayed on the status bar. Could the playback be stopped by incoming data? Is it even possiblle?
Thanks

Certain notifications will momentarily disrupt media playback, but will not stop it.
The issue with the jack will require pushing the plug back in so that it is reseated properly.
All I have to do is press play again. So its definitely an interruption caused by the phone and not a jack related problem. I guess ill just have to deal with it.

If the contact of the headphone jack is disrupted, but not dislodged, it could be enough to cause it to pause.
The headphone jack must really suck in mine because it randomly pauses playback over bluetooth regardless of which application I'm using to play music with. Even sometimes just playing music over the phone's speaker it happens for me. At first I thought it was a bug in CyanogenMod... but I guess not.
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.
Already a thread somewhere for this. But I do have the issue as well. As stated it doesn't matter if its streaming or local. Had it happen on cm9 an aokp. Also without heavy multitasking

Thanks for the confirmation guys. It seems like I'm a lot more affected by this issue than the most of you.
Do you mind sharing your rom/kernel/governer/freq settings? maybe we can find a common ground?
Franco m2, it only happens on the interactive gov

That's interesting. I'm on lean interactivex. I'll try switching to on demand and see what happens.

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.

we're using google music for its streaming feature, not because we're not capable of using other players

Exactly.
I'll try the sound effects thing as long as it doesn't interfere with DSP manager
Edit: lol it takes me directly to DSPmanager which is already enabled.

So this has been happening over the last 2 or 3 days, and it's getting pretty annoying.
Sometimes when I am listening to music, the playback will just stop as if I've paused the music.
This has happened 4 times today, in different situations.
First, I was listening to a podcast in the stock ICS music player while making breakfast, and the playback stopped 3 times. Each time, the phone was in my pocket, and the screen was locked.
The fourth time, I was listening to some music using Poweramp while texting a friend, and the song I was listening to randomly stopped again.
Any idea what's causing this?
Probably a rogue app. I was having the same problem with RocketPlayer, and it turned out the offending app was CBC Music. Even though I hadn't opened it in days, for whatever reason it thought it needed to steal audio focus periodically to resume a stream. The result was spontaneous random pauses. You can try installing alogcat, and next time it happens, filter the log for "focus" or "audio" or "media" - I forget what I used - and you should find a hint as to the culprit.

This used to happen to me pre 4.0.4. Since then I haven't had an issue.

AHA, I JUST installed CBC music before this started to happen!
I'll uninstall it now and see if that fixes it!
It definitely stopped after I uninstalled that bugger. Clearly the cuts at the CBC have been deleterious enough that they had to go with the lousiest programmers they could find!

Happens to me in Google Listen often. Never happened in the stock music app though.

Had I seen your post originally from a full browser rather than Tapatalk, I would have noticed your CDN location and then CBC would have been even more likely a candidate
I actually have this problem with certain headphones that started it of no where. I found that I had to unplug then a little bit so that they aren't completely plugged in and then it's working fine again.
If any of you are on lean kernel...
I've documented and provided logcats...which were confirmed by quite a few users.
__________________________________-
In recent (3.8+, I believe) builds...imoseon updated his sound control mods (courtesy of ezekeel, so Glados may have the same problem?).
HQ audio seems fine for all users, myself included.
But the sound boost mod causes the headphones to think they're being unplugged.
Low boost (for me) allows my headphones to work.
Medium and it'll cut out in a couple minutes.
High and it'll cut out within a minute.
Highest and it cuts out instantly.
This is ONLY on certain headphones, as well.
Actually, all of my headphones (five that I've tested) are fine.
But if I have sound boost enabled and plug in my AUX cord...it cuts out.
Strange stuff!
And the developers seem not to care too much, sadly...
But for me I just disable sound boost an all is well. So no harm no foul, I suppose.

Haven't tried it yet, but I'll be on the bus for a few hours soon, so that will give me plenty of test time
EDIT: Problem fixed, stupid CBC!
I also had this problem after I installed the CBC Music application. Just uninstalled it and we'll see if that fixes it.
Okay, so today I was listening to music, on my totally stock GS III. Suddenly the music switches through to the speaker, instead of going to my headphones. The first time this happen, it was when a song ended and a new song came on Google Music. The second time was when my friend texted me. My phone was on vibrate only. Obviously, this can be quite embarrassing especially when you are in a quiet zone. I checked to make sure the notification bar still had the headphone logo. I'm using regular no mic headphones. This happened earlier, is there anyway I can still logcat? Like doesn't it save all that until reboot? I don't even remember if I rebooted yet...probably..
Anyways, yeah, I tried searching, but I came up with threads on bluetooth and speakers just not working or crackling. So I think I might be the only one..?
Thanks for the help.
Only thing I can think of is maybe your headphone port is losing connectivity with your 3.5mm jack and it thinks no headphones are present?

2. poor installation/settings check google music and the app settings. worst comes to worst go to manage apps clear data, uninstall and re-install in market
It happened to me once or twice with google music player. Actually, since JB, google music is full of bug on my side, it randomly hangs on song switching, this bug, low volume bug until I pause and press play. Tried clearing cache/data, uninstalling couple of times, and no go.
I've given up on it and am now using rocket player with cloud music importer. I was never streaming anyway but I liked the google music interface... oh well
I'm on a stock based jellybean ROM rooted

Yes but the usual behavior is that when headphones are pulled out, it pauses the music.

I'm not sure what the advertisements have to do with the audio problem, but I do use ad blocker. I have tried flashing back to stick through kies and odin.

So I read around, looks like a couple of Jelly bean users are experiencing this, particularly with google music. This is of course stock Jelly bean for the s3

I have the same issue but I use rocket music player. But the worst issue I have is when I'm listening to music and someone calls me, after the call it puts full speaker volume out my headphones and blows my ears out. I would definitely be interested in a solution otherwise I will be going back to ICS myself; especially since I can't run Adobe Flash on web pages anymore.

I'll add to this I've had the same issues with my rooted stock JB from my google play player so I just switched players to power amp full version player and I could not be any happier!
Has happened to me twice in class. Was listening to a song in google music, song ended and the next one came on, except this time coming out of the speaker. Very embarrassing!

Recently read in a different forum that changing LPAplayer from true to false I think in the build.prop is a solution.... Can't remember where I read it, couldn't find it in history, probably was on my other machine...
Been looking into this more. Seems like more people are having this problem. Some suggest downgrading google music, some say the 11/12 update is bad, some say LPAplayer or something needs to be disabled, using default samsung player, which reminds me today I installed Pandora which happened to do the same thing so it must be touchwiz and it only happens on JB. Not trying to change my phone to CM10, thats a no for me. Has anyone found a real solution?

So today I at work and my boss walks over and ask me to turn down my music..... I had my headphones in and did not have it up very loud.
Several min later I get a phone call, a few min in he walks over and asked if I was on a personal call. I said no and the person continued to talk, what I didn't know was all the sound coming through the headphones was also being played on my phone speaker.
No looked it up and many people have the notifications sound problem, but couldn't find one that really had the same problem as me.
No matter what watch on YouTube or listen to in my music player the phone will play the sound on both headphones and speaker.
Any help with this problem guys?

Who's rom are you using? Also try a different pair of headphones. If the jack on your headphones is bent or not connecting correctly it will cause that to happen.
That happens when the headphone jack is not pushed all the way down!

I think you might also want to be sure the Phone is not in "Driving Mode"...
I just had the same problem. I was listening to Google music for a few hours no problem, but one track decided to play threw the speaker and not the headphones. Not sure what happened, I skipped the track and all was good again.
