Music Stops Playing Randomly - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I didn't have this issue when I was on a Sense ROM. But when I switched to aosp (Liquid), DSP manager kept giving errors each time a track played or changed. It would randomly stop playing too (any app, tried various). So I disabled DSP and the errors went away but the tracks randomly stop playing on switch.
Right now, I'm running Viper4android and I'm getting the same issue, no error message but definitely random playback stoppage.
Anyone know what I should be looking at?

[Q] EVO music player wont resume correctly after paused

Ive been messing around with my brothers EVO and have noticed that when playing audio in the default music player or even music players from the market they will not resume from where they are left off after being paused. They start from the beginning.
Has anyone else encountered this, or any ideas?
I've noticed this as well, but it happens with the Sense music widget, not the actual music player. There is a difference.
For example, if you downloaded an audio track from a website, and once the DL completes you tap on the notification bar, it opens the music widget instead of the full app.
Hope this helps. I don't experience this issue when using the music app.
EVO 2.2 w/3.29
Yup, thats it, hmmm what a mild inconvenience
Problem is with 3.29. I also noticed some stuttering in certain music apps.
Since i listen to a bunch of podcasts and because of some other problems i noticed, I've gone back to 3.26-with netarchy's kernels it works just as well (if not better).

I don't think it's a 3.29 issue. I've tried different roms.
Currently I'm using refined 1.04 and the music player resumes just as it should. I tried Azrael X and the music player will start from the beginning instead of resuming where it was paused.
I assume the music player needs to sore it's bookmark somewhere. Anyone have an idea where that might be? And, what's different between these 2 roms that accounts for the difference in unpausing?

[Q] Scrobbling issues (SOLVED)

Edit: I fixed it, nevermind. I'll remove this thread when I get home.
I've switched back to the official last.FM app due to issues with the alternatives and I only have one issue. The app will randomly begin to scrobble whatever is left playing in the official Music app. This is strange since I use poweramp for music playing. Has anyone else had this problem? I have a picture of it acting that way as I type this attached. Thanks!

Music Stops playing randomly

Does anyone have this problem? I'm on the latest version of AOKP with Franco Kernal...Everytime I listen to music, it will randomly stop and I would have to press play again. This happens at random times, (seconds, minutes, hours). I'm using Google Music (Play Music). I have tried PowerAMP and other players, but they seem too all do it.
It's kind of bugging me

It could be a bug with Franco's sound hacks he implements in his kernels. Perhaps try using a different kernel?

hmmm...can anyone else confirm this that's also using Franco's Kernal....
I get this on stock. I thought it was related to another piece of software (pocketcasts) that I installed about the same time the problems started. Seem that the first song is played, then it pauses or stops.
Could be a buggy headphone connector (in the phone), where it send a faulty signal telling the system that you have unplugged the headphones. Does it only happen while using headphones?
My connector does that as well, but opposite. When not using headpones it sometimes signals that something has been plugged in, and all audio is routed to the non-existing headphones.
this bug definitively occurs on francoKernel!
Try flashing another kernel (Popcorn for example) and the bug is gone.
Seems to have something to do with the sound limit. If it's too loud it stops automatically. Try reducing the volume to 60% with the hard buttons and you'll see that it stops acting like that.
It's not a Franco's kernel only problem. I have the same issue on Stock 4.0.2 (GSM, unlocked, unrooted).
It is not the headphone connector that is buggy either since i'm experiencing this with bluetooth headset as well (A2DP headset).
The music app is not crashing either since it doesn't require a full "load" when i select the app. Press play again and all is good until next time.
It happens to me on stock as well. With both the music and listen apps. Seems to happen if I'm playing music for a half hour or so without using the phone.

I am running AOKP M3 and Franco's kernel and am experiencing the exact same thing.

I have noticed this. When i turn down the volume it stops doing it. But when i turn it up to max it will start doing it again

I experience this on google listen on stock 4.0.1. I thought it was a bug with the app losing audio focus. But then they updated and claimed an audio focus fix, yet it still happens. I can force this bug to happen by multitasking moderately. So i truly think this bug is related to the over aggressive memory management on this phone.
Yea I'm using Axi0m and I notice this. I think its an issue with the headphone jack. When I installed power amp, one of the features is to detect connection to the headphones... then the phone started to randomly start and stop playing music completely random.
I updated and it seems to be fixed. Still stops occasionally but at least I can listen for an extended period.

Franco Kernel updater
I'm running Lean Kernel and I get this all the time when I have the volume set to MAX on the device itself, I find if I turn it down just a bump then the problem goes away. This may be some type of fail safe for the phone itself. ??? But just turn your vol down one click and you're good to go.
I always had issues playing music with franco.kernel, it did me just like you are talking about. That **** used to drive me crazy! Anyways, no issues with CM10 M2. Also using the built in CM kernel.
yup, had this thing on both stock and codename android. google music app
Just gotta wake up this thread.
I'm having this issue on CM10.2... I had this same thing on stock JB some time ago when I connected to my BT headset..
Is there any fix for this?
Btw.
I don't use any custom kernels and this is not caused by any kernel and I don't think this to be caused by BLE.

^^This
I had the same issue and realized I had the volume up too loud with the mods I had installed. Keep the volume below 80% and the problem will disappear.
Possible solution
I used to have this issue as well, where after a certain period of not actually using the phone, the music playback would just pause itself.
I discovered that I had Play music "Greenified" which is basically a hibernating task manager. That was killing the background process of any music players I had open.
Wether or not you have the Greenify app, check for any automatic task killers and get rid of them.. Maybe that will help one of you guys, it sure helped me.
Only had this happen using headphone volume boost... don't use it

Audio just stops

I've had my Tab Pro 8.4 for a few weeks and playing audio with the screen off has been no problem until now. After about 1 minute after turning the screen off the music pauses for no reason I can discern. I've tried with Poweamp, my usual music player, and stock music players and all do the same thing (I think stock players automatically pause when the screen is off) . It started happening after installing Wanam Exposed and the Xposed framework. I have since uninstalled both of them but the problem remains. Anyone able to help? Thanks.
Update... Apparently this issue was fixed by going into Poweramp settings and turning on a switch specifically for cases where "wake on lock" is an issue. No more problem.

Audio skipping.

When I'm using headphones and listening to audio on Asus' own music app, Doggcatcher and Google Music audio skips like crazy, especially when navigating the UI and switching between apps. If I put the phone into standby it will skip once or twice but it will stop after that. It is fine when using Youtube and Netflix but all audio only apps skip. I have tried moving music to a sd card but with the same result. I'm also running the latest update. Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah I had this issue as well, but it just went away with mine.

Same problem here...Didnt have this problem on previous firmware...I am on pre-rooted 2.15.40....And i experience it sometimes even when the device is locked... Maybe some software bug or sumthin...Maybe Asus is working on it and will release the fix for the bug in the next update
Experienced something similar. Skipping 0,5 seconds when Learning with Anki... when I reconnect the headset, everything works fine again until the problem occurs again
