Hello guys, new here. i have a problem with my htc one x music playback. what happens is while playing music for around a minute or so it changes its sound, it kinda lowers down and the sound is not as clear as on startup. kinda like beats audio disables it self, which it doesnt as the logo is still there,...... this is only on earphones, speaker phone playback is ok. Id really like some help on this as its plain as hell annoying. Thanx a bunch already.
Im on ViperX 4.06

Hi All.
I have problem with any headphones, stock from htc, creative etc. When i'm using internet via wifi in left ear i have some quiet noise. Od wifi is turned off everything is fine. I have stock 2.3.3. Someone could check this at own Desire? Any ideas to fix this problem? Thx.
is your headphone working fine with other devices with wifi? (another phone etc)
Yes, and i tested 4 headphones with my Desire, always little noises in left ear.
The same problem here with my desire stock rom 2.3
might be something wrong in hardware. Have you flashed any custom from yet?

Hi, thx for reply. No, didn't flashed, always stock 2.3.3
What rom do You have? Could You test this problem on your Desire?
I've found this on all ROMS I've tried; LeeDroid, MildWild, the various ICS builds (CM9/Sandvold/MIUI-AU) and stock Sense. I also find that I get a very slight popping noise.
To test - in a silent room, play a music track, but turn media volume right down. Pause, and wait for the audio to deactivate; you'll hear the slight hiss stop. Press play, and it'll hiss, then start regular little clicks/ticks/pops.
Happens on all headphones that I've tried, obviously the more sound insulating, the more annoying it is. It's not a problem 90% of the time, but if I'm listening to classical music (most of the time) and there's a pause or a particularly quiet passage, then I can hear it. A disappointment, having come from an iPhone which is just invisible as a music player. Oh well, the Desire has other benefits...
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.

It seems that the stutter is fixed in ROMeOS 1.1.4

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 notice that when i'm playing music and a notification comes in.... my music abruptly stops and has some static sound while the notification sound plays and then my music resumes again..... to be honest... it's pretty pathetic.... especially the static that's associated....
Can any developer actually come up with a dimming effect or a concurrent audio playing?
I remember that audio couldn't be played in parallel in the early 90s... but surely someone must have found a way to fix this by now? anyone?

They consider it as a feature. Android in general handels playing audio simultaneously pretty well. You can for example play music through the music.app and play audio through a piano app.

This annoys me as well. Used to be perfect on my Desire with CM7
it's madness! but can't this be overrided by a mod/software?

Would love a solution to this.
This depends totally on the player, at least that's how I always experienced it.
At any rate, I'm using IceCold AOKP combined with Google Play Music - (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5tdXNpYyJd) , and notifications only dim music, as you would expected.
*** Only talking about the loud speaker *** not in-earphones or anything (all stock)
**In full media volume and when playing music videos with sound enhancer on**
Please, check my video uploaded and suggest should i replace my hox?!

Ya there seems to be a problem with your speaker or the housing which could be rattling..but whatever it is u should take it to a service center immediately..get it repaired or replaced whatever they agree too..
But how r u able to use your sound effects without connecting an earphone..I can't use the effects with phone speaker..

Though i don't get the sound effects to be able to turn on when playing music(mp3 songs) without earphones, but yes i get that option to turn it on while playing music videos... and even i went today checked two live demo htc one x phones at two different showrooms (vijay sales and croma) both phones were also able to enable sound enhancer in video songs though, but played fine without crackling..... i feel so agitated m alot confused what's going on!
Thank you for your help
getting it replaced tom got the doa
I have a Desire HD ace. I noticed it now has a funny shhhhh... kind of sound like a when u trying to tune a transistor radio. This sound accompanies notifications, ringtones, when i play music, even with a headphone or headset. When i make calls it's still there. Please how do i get that sound off? It's driving me nuts. I have had to remove most of my notifications and animations.
Its common.. Thats happen when the audio hardware is activated, usually a second or split second before the actual sound is played and it will last for a few seconds after last sound is played before it stops.. Some hardware perform better than others while some dont..
If im not mistaken, there is an explanation in the youtube explaining about this and he compares an android model with iphone using some kind of audio software.. You can try search it..

Thanks a lot yumm91 , but i need to know if there are any solutions for this problem or if installing a certain ROM would help fix the problem for me. Also the youtube video, did he talk of a fix?
