[Q] Crackling audio with KitKat - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I recently updated to the deodexed stock kitkat rom with kt747 kernel. Everything is running fine except audio files in every program but poweramp have major crackling/static issues. The audio files play fine on my computer, it happens both over headphones and through phone's speaker. I use poweramp for all of my music but am really missing being able to use pocketcasts. Audio in youtube app also works fine. I have tried a factory reset and am at a loss for what else I can try to fix the problem. If anyone has any advice or tips or is experiencing a similar problem I would be very grateful to hear from you.

I think that the DSP doesn't process it right with a KK kernel although I do not have issues on stock kk ......have you tried a different audio processor like DSP manager or viper4android etc....?

Tried both of those and it didn't seem to help. Oddly enough I had one podcast today that I was able to play through pocketcasts without audio issues, but all the rest of my podcasts were ****ed up.

Well try a different kernel.....I read reports that some kernels don't provide enough power to the DAC and so it can cause crackling

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Streaming (A2DP) Skips

I'm trying to see if others are experiencing the same issue as me. I only recently starting rooting my phone and although I'm pleased with most of the features of CM - one feature that does not work correctly is streaming music over bluetooth (A2DP).
Prior to rooting, my stock HTC EVO 4G worked great with bluetooth audio streaming through my car stereo. No skips ever - usually I stream either Pandora or TuneIn Radio.
Now that I have rooted I get frequent blips/skips in my music when listening over bluetooth.
I've tried the following Rom/kernel combinations:
update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip - with included kernel
update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip - with Tiamat_Evo-v4.1.0
update-cm-9-20120226-NIGHTLY-tf201-signed.zip - with included kernel
All have the same issue. I've ensured that I wiped Dalvik cache, cache and data each time I flashed a new rom.
I really like CM7 except for this one fact and for me its a deal breaker. So before I try other roms I was wondering if there is anything else I could try or if anyone else has this same problem.
I am thinking of posting a video of what happens and comparing it to a stock EVO (since my fiance has the same phone I could do this side by side).
Any ideas?

Weird issues with audio on my G2

Hey guys, I'm running the Elitemod ICS rom on my Desire Z, and lately I've been having some really really strange issues with audio. Firstly, when I plug headphones in nothing happens, and when I adjust the volume the beep that plays goes through the speaker not the headphones, but music or videos go through the headphones, no headphones icon appears as I think it used to do. Just before I was adjusting the volume and testing out music and noticed it was extremely quiet, I was about to reinstall the louder volume mod from the dev section, but I noticed that the audio was playing through the earpiece not the back speaker..... After a restart everything is nice and loud and normal, should I be worried or was it just a glitch.
EDIT: When playing music with Apollo, it seems that audio is playing out of the earpiece as well as the back speaker. Is this normal?
No, this is not normal. Did you do a clean install of the rom? Did you try other ROM's?
Since the problem started happening no I haven't tried any other roms, in the past yes I've tried heaps of roms. I did do a completely fresh install of this rom a while ago but it just started happening out of seemingly nowhere
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I can only guess that it's a hardeware error if it doesn't work correctly on other rom's as well. If other rom's with the same kernel and android version work, you can try to copy the drivers from that rom to your current rom.
I hope it's fixed by installing a totaly different rom, otherwise you'll have to sent this one in to get it fixed as well.

Poweramp Buzzing?

POWERAMP MUSIC PLAYER
Please forgive me for starting a completely new thread on an issue (Bug) that may or may have not already been fixed. I've searched all of XDA and Poweramp forums for solutions but have not found any. Hopefully this is not just my phone suffering from hardware failure and simply just a Poweramp glitch or bug that seems to effect the galaxy nexus. If it is just my phone, well I will ask the moderators to just delete this thread and my apologies. I will just throw my Gnex in the garbage and use my old Samsung Vibrant.
Now with that being said, is there anyone who is currently using Poweramp as their primary music player on their GNEX running 4.4 or any version of android for that matter? If so would you mind sharing what your Poweramp experience is like. In other words is their any BUZZING or SKIPPING that occurs when you are performing common tasks such as browsing the web or checking email or whatever the case may be. When I say BUZZING I really mean BUZZING, like someone being buzzed in to enter a door or like a buzzing bee except much louder to the point where it may cause some serious hearing problems. I don't mind the audio skipping or popping it is just that damn buzzing that is literally giving me a headache. Now you may say...well why don't you just try another music player? Well I have tried just about every single music player available on google play and none of them, I repeat NONE OF THEM come close to the audio quality of Poweramp (take it from me I am an audiophile). I have contacted the poweramp support team and they told me basically to F-OFF because they don't support custom roms other than Cyanogenmod. Well I tried CM11 with stock kernel and the problem still persist so no luck there.
Device Info:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 GSM
Currently running the latest build of Vanir with latest SmittyV kernel (Stock or custom kernel doesn't seem to make a difference)
Default kernel settings
Default Poweramp settings not using Direct Volume Control or an external DSP (Audio Buffer Size or Audio Thread Priority settings don't seem to help either)
Buzzing only seems to occur when using headphones, it doesn't buzz when connected via bluetooth speakers but skips (really don't mind).
Again this buzzing ONLY happens when "Multitasking". Listening to music and browsing the web seems to happen almost instantly. When the phone is in standby with music playing...no problems at all. No buzzing,skipping or popping noises.
I've tried just about every rom and kernel combination that is currently in development to try and solve this issue but have had no luck whatsoever. Other music players mainly Player Pro with the dsp pack seem to have this exact same issue. Player Pro without the DSP pack works perfectly fine but there is no gapless playback support so that's not an option. I am on the verge of just giving up all together and using my Vibrant as my "daily driver" while I save to buy a N5 someday. But I am not quite ready to call it quits that's why I ask my fellow XDA users who are currently using Poweramp Music Player for their help.
What ROM and KERNEL are you using?
Kernel settings? Default or custom Settings?
Poweramp settings?
Please help.

[Q] Headphone sound Issues

I'm experiencing an ongoing problem with headphones on my m8. Trying to listen to music is either one sided (left bud) or none at all. If I plug into my stereo, the Jack works and music is played normal.
I've changed ROMs with full wipe & clean install, the problem still occurs. Various headphones all do the same. I'm almost positive it's a software glitch somewhere but can't find a setting for it. I've tried freezing music apps with TB, I've also installed HK to see if that would tweak something. No clue what else to do.

Have you tried returning to complete stock? Stock Firmware/Software? If it's still ongoing after that, I would say you should contact HTC for a replacement or there's a user error occurring.
Haven't gone back.. Will try tonight. Do I use Odin?

[Q] Samsung S3 T999 - CM12 - No audio after plugging in Headphones

HI All,
I have tried many ROMs including LiquidSmooth V4.0 and CM12 on my S3 T999 d2tmo. Everything works fine in the ROMs except the audio.
The Audio including Ringtones, System Sounds and Music works fine until I plugin my headphone. But as soon as I plugin the headphone the audio crashes. After that no audio works, what so ever. The only way I can get the audio back is to reboot the system.
The issue resolves only after I revert to stock ROM. I have no issues with audio after I go back to Stock ROM. Is there any solution or work around for this issue.
Please let me know if you need more information.
