Hi folks,
I've noticed today when listening to music on spotify or Google music that every 20 or so there's a little stutter with my music, like a small gap of silence when the beats audio is enabled. Very minimal, like 0.5 of a second silence. Disabled everything is fine. I've tried different headphones as well as a speaker dock and it's the same.
Anyone else encountered this?

I got the same thing
Only happens when beats is enabled, only the music app is running and the screen is off.
When you disable beats, poof problem goes away!
My guess is that the fifth companion core doesnt handle the beats software well. The beats equalizer probably isnt written all too well for it and causes it to stutter.
My solution so far is to disable beats (as stupid as that is for a beats enabled device) and wait for a software update in the future.
Also worth mentioning, it seems to happen alot more with apps not optimized for ICS like spotify (which is buggy as it is).

I am having the same issue. It's extremely annoying. I would like to use Beats because it's a feature of the phone but I can't put up with the annoying stutters.
Or I can't hear it, or I don't have this issue...
Seems some issue there mentioned and known already.....

3G is the cause
I also having this issue, and it only occurs when i have beats audio enabled, playing internet radio through 3G in sleep mode. When i try it with wifi (beats audio enabled,sleepmode)instead of 3G than there is no stutter/skipping.
3G internet radio with beats disabled is also stutter free.
Edit: It seems that internet radio puts more stress on the cores with wifi enabled so that it won't switch to such low clocks that the audio is stuttering
I've noticed one "pop" about twenty seconds after I turn the screen off, when Beats is on and playing music using the stock app. Best guess is that it's the transfer from main cores to the companion that causes it. It only happens the one time per screen off.
I get that problem too but listen without beats now which cures it. No loss as well because initially beats on sounded good. More bass, more treble.
But after a bit, it sounded harsh and unnatural. I can get the same effect with beats off by just upping the volume without it getting annoying after a few mins.
So I listen to Spotify with beats off...
Same issue for me too, through both wired headphones and bluetooth and with both the stock music player and GoneMAD music player. Sound was dropping constantly.
Turning off beats and I've had very few glitches.
The fix is to. While you listen to Spotify, settings, sound, sound improvment, change headphone type to Beats PRO. Then there is no stuttering. :-D

Indeed, it works !
for me, it only stutters with the screen off, beats enabled, and if the track playing is in the FLAC format. Must be something to do with the extra processing power needed for that + the beats audio - something that the companion core doesnt handle very well.

hmm could be indeed, since i have only played FLAC or internetradio while experiencing the issues (have not tried MP3 since i have my One X).
But with the beats audio set on Beats Pro headset(like mentioned above) does resolve the stuttering, even with FLAC files
my audio stutters occasionally when playing through the HTC Music app with or without Beats enabled. Very frustrating.
Hmm seems like a solution:

hopefully in 1.1.4 (tomorrow)
btw u can try adding this line in build.prop & reboot.
lpa.decode=false
It seems that the stutter is fixed in ROMeOS 1.1.4
see changelog here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580981
All,
Just a quick FYI - had the stutter and skip issues myself - fixed them all by downloading 3rd party apps from the store - so far no issues, using mobo player for video and n7player for music...both free (but I think n7player is in beta and plans to license it) and both do better than the HTC default apps.
I discovered - by accident - that if you long-press the volume down button with the phone asleep, it starts the default audio player. This is actually a little annoying as I've managed to start it several times without meaning to, and I don't use the default music player anyway.
Is there any way to disable it? I've searched but to no avail. I can see how it might be useful, but I'd like the option to choose whether it does it or not.
I'm running ARHD.
U can disable it:
Manage Apps -> All Apps -> Tip Music & Music Optimizing & Music Widget -> Tip Stop & Disable
Thanks for your reply forsaked, but that hasn't solved it...

Have you got installed the leedroid tweaks. It was an option in that. You can disable or remap the volume down button to previous track as well.

Wondering, cause i solved it that way!
And u disabled all 3 Applications?
I had same problem on Leedroid.
I had a tweak enabled that i didn't need.
Leedroid Tweaks -> Lockscreen -> Media Control and untick it
FTR, I'm on ARHD 5.1.1...
The only way to stop it was to completely disable the built-in Music app. I searched through the app for options, but there was nowhere to disable anything to do with the lock-screen media control. The number of times I've had music randomly start on my was unreal it was annoying.
I usually use ³ for music on my phone anyway, but the Music app had a nice feature where I could play music stored on my phone via my PC over WiFi. I guess if I want to do that, I can always re-enable the Music app. Seems strange there's no way to turn it off.
Just discovered this thread. This is one really annoying behavior. Has anyone by now discovered another way to disable this?
Disabling the music app is working, but it also disables support for Beats Audio.
I have the music app disabled but it hasn't stopped Beats Audio working:
Uhm, okay, now it's working here as well... Don't know what I did when the beats icon suddenly disappeared. :S

Streaming music apps like spotify/ google music have in app equalizers that really make a difference, hence I use them. But every so often the equalizer turns off by itself reverting back to a loud/flat sound. But as soon as you go to check the equalizer, it says it is still on and the sound reverts to your settings in the equalizer.
Has anyone else encountered this?
I get a popping sound when I'm using my headphone amp. It happens when I switch to a different Youtube video or skip forward or back when using the Dish Anywhere App. It also happens when starting a video or switching apps. It doesn't while playing a video, just when you switch to a different video or forwarding a video in certain apps.
It's very annoying because it sort of loud and lowering the volume doesn't lower the popping sound. I watch sports on my tablet via Dish Anywhere app and every time I do a 30sec skip to skip the commercial I get a popping sound. Without the amp, you can hear the pop faintly but it's so low it's not annoying.
If never used an headphone amp, get one. It makes the sound experience awesome. Music sounds great, movies sounds great and you would have no idea how much bass can come out of an earphones. You can feel the bass in your ears like you had subwoofers hooked up. I have a Fiio amp.
btw, I just got my Tab pro 8.4 upgrading from a Nexus 7 2013 for a bigger screen and did not have this problem at all.
Anyone had this problem, if yes, where you able to fix it. I have my sound configured not to make any sounds when touching the screen and tried turning off the system sound.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's the device itself..., I also have terrible sound quality when I connect it to my car via the audio-jack. (CM12 with PowerAMP)
Hi everyone, before anyone complains I did search for the problem everywhere and found nothing so I decided to post it here.
I'm going straight to the point since the problem has been driving me mad for a long time.
The problem arises when I use the ear speaker after that the headphones output is totally distorted but not before. I've always managed to do a reboot and everything is back to normal until I use the ear speaker again and the problem comes back. Something strange is that I only notice the distortion on any headphones or headset but never with a speaker such as a bluetooth speaker or via aux cable to my car.
I changed the firmware to various versions (stock and custom), changed the kernel, changed some build.prop settings, disabled the equalizer apps, changed the music player, disabled the Nuplayer and the problem keeps coming back.
Any ideas ?
Thank you for reading, hope someone can help me I'd be really thankful.
No one had this problem ?

Yes, i had it many times also. I think sound doesn't distorts. The reason for that is audio effects (or any other effects) stops working so sound becomes plain with no bass and other things. Some times force stop audio effects works but reboot always.

I disagree because tried freezing the audio effects app and keeps happening, also the same installing Viper4Android
