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 may be mistaken but I believe the issue is consistent with apps that use WiFi to make use of their service, instead of Data. The audio lags over the wifi connection. So it's not the app itself, as the issue persists across many apps ie. skype, fongo/dell voice/magic jack.

I'm not entirely sure myself but its definitely not a Skype issue, its some sort of general audio issue and using Skype just seems to be the easiest way to reproduce it. Adam77 mentioned he thinks he knows whats up with it so hopefully we will see a code patch that can be applied to all affected ROMs soon.
yes its a genral audio problem as also the video camera can't record sound as well as the sound recorder. its a general bug in the sound.

No, the problem is when mic audio is routed to userspace, playback becomes distorted. You don't need Skype to reproduce it -- start music playing, then open Sound Recorder. Start recording. Music will stop. While still recording, resume playing via the notification bar. Ugly ugly noises come out.
Hey guys, was just wondering if boomsound supposed to effect Soundcloud at all, because whenever I switch on/off while playing a song on Soundcloud i don't notice any differences, unlike the google music app which you do hear a difference when switching modes. I am using the audio-technica ATH-ESW9A and the HTC 10 earphones.
thanks!
Correct. Just tested. With the Soundcloud app, Boomsound has no effect. If you use the browser version, it works.

I wonder why it's like that, I mean what's the differences between Soundcloud and spotify audio output wise? I just hope they will fix it in the future
Same goes for VLC media player (tried different video files, mostly avi's). No difference when switching boomsound mode. Maybe those apps use a different sound API or something like this, which cant be accessed by boomsound?
I've noticed that on the stock equalizer I'm unable to change the bass boost and surround slider since it's greyed out.
Is there a way to fix this?

Stock equalizer?... This is surely not stock right?... Your screenshot doesn't look stock...
It is, the equalizer on my pixel 2xl, unrooted.

The equaliser is in Play Music settings. I believe the bass boost and surround sound settings may only work when using external sound sources like headphones or Bluetooth speakers. Can't check at the moment as I don't have either with me.

Bass and Surround will only work if you connect a pair of headphones or speakers, either via USB C or Bluetooth.
You can't enable it on speaker mode
Thanks guys, figured that out. I've turned them off since they distort the sound on Android auto even though they are greyed out.

Just to cheekily add to this thread, the GPM equaliser is pretty naff as it is. It'll work for a few hours, and then you suddenly loose the bass boost, and changing settings in GPM has no effect until you reboot the device again. A problem that's been around for a while with no fix.
Which is why when I rooted my P2XL with Magisk, I installed the Viper4Android module. Far more effective than MusicFX.

Yes. This is very annoying. I've reported this multiple times through chat and as per usual with any broken stock function, they just suggest 3rd party apps on the Play Store.

Hi, can you send a link to dl it ? Thanks
No, I'm afraid I can't. Not because I don't want to, but because I didn't download Viper4Android that way. If you're rooted with Magisk, you can find it in the Downloads section of Magisk Manager. If you do install it, I also recommend installing Ainur Sauron, the Audio Compatibility Patch, and the Audio Modification Library. Those four modules combined should cover all your music.
I'm the only one with this problem?
When listening to music using bluetooth, it keeps stoping for no reason.
Is there any solution for this?
I have the latest patch (October)
Try reset all network settings to default ones. Using a lot of Bluetooth devices (except car integrated) and none of them disconnected unexpectedly.

Make sure that whatever app you are listening to is not set to restrict background battery or to optimize battery while you are listening to it. That has been the issue for me in similar situations....

Your completely correct!
Spotify was on my Restricted apps. Thank you so much.
