Music Player Problems

hey guys, currently running 1.29 on my unbranded HOX.
Noticed earlier while listening to my music through the stock music player that the songs kept semi skipping for a couple of seconds and the music sounded very, how to put it, crackly and popping, has anyone else had this problem?

It's been posted a few times I believe its to do with beats.

Yeah I have read about beats but I thought the problem being discussed was full songs skipping, also thought 1.28 was supposed to have fixed it, hopefully HTC can sort it out! I'm no audiophile but its damn annoying.

I have it to. First i thought that is was my headset now i read its the phone on 1.26 i never had probs

i had this too. the 1.29 update seems to finally have fixed it.
that or that i am now using ubermusic with beats enabled

Hello. 1st time posting, new Android user.
I have the very same problem and it seems to be getting worse. It's definitely to do with the phone adjusting network, as when it's in airplane mode it doesn't happen at all. As I travel on a train that goes along a coast line, in and out of tunnels - this is really getting to be annoying.
I'm using both DoubleTwist and the stock music player, happens with both EQ/Beats on or off.
I don't really want to buy another music player

But if ubermusic really solves the problem then I might look into it.
Also happens when watching vidoes inc. streaming video.
This really is a bit of a joke - "Authentic Sound" they said. So far it's about as authentic as an old walkman. I'm smitten with the phone in general, but this is unacceptable.
Maybe there's another fix. Perhaps a 3rd party app conflict? Any ideas?
1.29.401.11

I have this probelm as well, I thought it was my bluetooth headphones until I connected my wired headphones and the problem was still there - Poweramp is better than the stock player. Will try ubermusic tonight and see if that helps. The Galaxy nexus had this problem but was sorted with an update - hopefully HTC will do so too - quickly.
I am on 1.29...11 by the way.

remember android has a 15 minute period in which you can get a refund for an app - if it doesn't work open the play store for ubermusic and the buy button should have changed to a refund button.
(ubermusic is also skinnable, i didn't like the default but the ics style one is nice)

beats won't be "authentic sound" - music with no EQ applied will be the most authentic. but i get the point!

Exactly, it seems to be not just the network coverage, but any notification coming while the music is on.
Happens to me while traveling by subway, the network coverage is only in stations, not between them, and the music starts skipping right away after leaving/before getting to the stations. Also if the network coverage is OK (outside) but you get a notification from calendar, music crackle the same way.
Contacted HTC support and they replied to me to get a replacement device from my reseller...

Bit of an update on this one.
I checked what apps were running in the background - to see if there was anything I could kill to see if it made a difference.
I noticed the widget for SeriesGuide was running, despite my not using the widget or the app for a long time (I had rebooted the phone on occasions since not using the app).
So I uninstalled that application, cleared all cache using ES Task Manager and shut down the phone (not reboot). I heard that a restart could just solve the issue anyway.
Hey presto, no cracking audio or video so far - (that's 3 1hour train journeys).
I'm not entirely 'blaming' SeriesGuide, it may have been anything - but it's worth checking whats using resources that isn't running - I'm sure many of you do this anyway.
One interesting thing is, I was browsing the net or something last night on the couch, just using the phone - when I noticed it started to make pretty audible pops for no reason - about 5, and then nothing. No problem on the train this morning though - so for now I'm happy.

Install poweramp and problem disappear
Inviato dal mio HTC One X

I tried Poweramp - despite not liking it, it didn't solve my problem.

Service repair
Sent my HTC One X to service repair for diagnostics and the final statement is - faulty motherboard. Anyone having issues with crackling music player either when the network signal is lost or when the notifications pop up, go and return your phone.

Well, since my last post explaining what I did to remove the crackle, I've had none at all.

Click during Youtube with handsfree speaker

Hi guys,
i've installed OTA 1.29.401.11 on my HTC One X but now, during reproduction of a youtube video, i hear many "clicks"...it seem like the very old cd burners when they aren't capable to extract the tracks.
Someone has the same problem?
Thanks

Exactly the same happen to me!

Sounds good to me that the problem isn't only mine.
I don't know if the issue depends on the last OTA.

I had this once and rebooting the phone cured it. It affected all audio for me including videos in the gallery

Don't have that problem. But a reboot of the phone might help or check if the youtube application needs an update...
do you have the same problem when using a headset?

I thought it's somehow related to the YT app itself. It's the only one I'm getting these audio clicks and stutters in. The problem gets especially crazy I have Audio FX Widget turned on (absolutely no problem in any other apps that play audio).

No sound in video recording

Hi,
I just came from a concert and like every fan, I made a lot of videos through my GNex.
But in one of the best performances, for some weird reason, there is no sound. At first I thought it might be because of the size of the video (second biggest). But there is another one (biggest) with a higher size and it has sound without any issues.
Also all the videos before and after it have sound, just except THAT one. Man am I confused beyond measure.
Does anyone else has this issue? Is there a way to get the sound back on that video? I really want to get it working.
Thanks in advance for your help.
G.

Hmmm... transfer it to your computer, and see if you can play it there? Idk what media player you use for your computer, but I recommend VLC Media Player, plays everything I throw at it, perfectly. Come back with results.

Actually I found that out on my PC once I had transferred all the videos. And with more digging, I found another video (from the concert) that didn't have sound. So its two from the pack. But it only happened in last night's videos, never happened before.
And I did use VLC to play 'em.
I've read some threads in Google about people complaining for this issue, but they see it more consistently than I do. If it indeed is a mic issue (faulty mic stops working in GNex) then I'm screwed. Didn't expect that to happen on a Google flagship.
But if you guys do have any suggestions to fix it I would be glad to hear 'em. (or find the sound file hidden somewhere in the crevices of android directory structure)
Also if this issue persists, could someone guide me to a Video recording app which shows you your mic equalizer (or spectrum) so that you know when the mic is recording and when its not. So that for videos where you don't see any movement on the mic spectrum you can restart and start taping again instead of losing that magical moment for all eternity... no thanks to you Google!

Bluetooth streaming issue/ suttering

When I connect Bluetooth to my car and try to stream music it start stuttering/ skipping like crazy, every second or so. I've tried it with multiple apps, Spotify, play music and YouTube same effect. Seems like Bluetooth can't handle the bandwidth. Never had this problem with my Nexus 5.
Anyone else have this issue?

It's been working great for me. Tried it with my VW Passat, Bose Soundlink Mini, and another Bluetooth speaker. No skipping or audio delays noticed. Usually playing Play Music, YouTube, or iHeartRadio.

It hasn't been as bad a you describe but I have noticed some stuttering. Not enough to ruin my experience, though.

I got phone on 10-21. I stream Pandora all day in my work truck to a jbl change 2+ and have my bt ear piece for calls connected all day. I have not had one issue

Mine did it the first time I ever used it in my car, and it was unbearable. After day one though, the issue self resolved and I had no problems. I actually noticed it first using navigation over bt

Yep. I got this several times. Turning off/on Bluetooth was the only way to fix. Not ideal when doing 70 on the motorway.

Same problem here, it makes bluetooth unbearable in my car. ONLY my car, as I don't have any stuttering on other bluetooth devices. Never had a problem on my Nexus 5, only the 5X.
Edit:
For clarity, I am full stock, not rooted or unlocked

I'm having the same issues. It seems the worst when I have Waze running while beyondpod is playing. I don't have guidance enabled, so Waze shouldn't be playing audio.

After streaming for a few days, I don't have this problem anymore. Weird, but I'm glad it's working now. Try what someone posted earlier, just turn off and turn on Bluetooth.

That didn't solve my issue. Rebooting the phone did, however. There must be a memory leak.

There is a issue opened on the Google code page. I'm not skilled enough with adb to capture the logcat. I am not allowed to post links so just add

To the end of the google code url

I experienced some stuttering over bluetooth in my toyota camry. Will test it further.

I could not reproduce the stuttering issues again until today when I was streaming music it decided to stutter as I read an email. Rebooted phone and it was fine.

Up the thread.
I just bought bluetooth earphones, I thought they were defective, so I replace them, but i got always the same problem, the sound is stuttering. And after some seconds, it simply goes blank, no sound at all. :/
I tested them on other smartphones and tablet, and they are working great.
I also noticed that if i put the nexus 5x really closed to the earphones (1 cm), it's working nice.
I contact Google, but they kept saying i have to contact the earphones manufacturer (Aukey). But it's clearly a bug with the phone.
There is just one thing I didn't try yet. It's to wipe the phone and flash the last android image (i read somewhere some guys fixed their problem doing this, where ota updates didn't).
Anybody got information or solution?
Thanks

Yes, it's there. Bluetooth is unreliable with media playing, not so with phone calling, which works fine.

Ok, for 15 minutes or hours music on my phone streams fine as well (first bluetooth media play on a reboot).
Now please try calling your phone and reply. Once the call is over, on my phone any media I play over bluetooth, goes on play/ pause indefinitely. I can fix this with a phone reboot.
Other times, after I stopped using my bluetooth stereo headphone to listen to music, if I use the phone to listen to music again, phone goes on again with pausing music.
The one fun thing is that if you plug the earphones in the 3.5 jack the music plays fine, which excludes the music player from being the main problem.
Usual BT behaviour is: incoming call > stop music playing. Call ended> start music player back again on play. Something goes wrong in here, phone probably thinks a call keeps incoming and ending. At least that is what I think.

Okay.. Usual BT behaviour you described is ok what I was thinking that though the call comes and music has to stop ; and when it ends music has to resume; the resume n pause are to be done by music player... So we have to view dat angle as well.
Don't worry I'll give my best input so that you can enjoy hassle free music output!!!
