[Q] Sound stops working intermittently - T-Mobile LG G3

T-mobile stock lollipop ROM
when I listen to music or play video it works for some time then suddenly sound stops working, when I close app and restart the app, it works fine for some time.
when I look at the player it's not frozen I can see the timer working and in the case of video, I can see the video fine just no sound.
it does not matter where the music/video is stored, it happens to files on both internal memory or MicroSD card.
it's gotten worse after lollipop update. it happened on kitkat rom but didn't happen frequently.
it's like it ran out of memory because, when I play music, it plays longer if I don't do web browsing. if i do web browsing, it stops working a lot sooner. but when I check memory usage, it says it got 1.3gb free.
anyone else have problem like this? and know solution?

Yes, I have the same problem ( LG G3 AT&T ) and the same temporary fixes. Headphone output however seems immune, or at least much less afflicted. No permanent solution found so far. Since stopping and restarting the audio source app (YouTube etc) is a temporary cure, I infer that this is a software, not a hardware, problem.

KS20 Stuttering/Laggy Video Recording

I've recently been noticing when I actually went ahead and utilized the video recording functions of my KS20, that it stutters horribly during recording - as in, it literally freeze-frames every few seconds of video, which makes any recordings really horrible to watch. I know on my old phone, which had the same sort of 2MP camera, I never experienced such issues.
Is there a driver patch or update I can be directed to in order to rectify my problem?
Cheers for any assistance.

try to record on internal storage
I have it set to internal, and there's plenty of space for it to use to store the video. It just keep stuttering - with plenty of ram free as well. I'm quite lost as to what's the problem exactly.
Sorry to resurrect my old post, but I'm still having the problem despite fiddling around with it insistently, to no avail.
Basically, I'm storing on the internal memory, with plenty of RAM free (original ROM as well). I record video and every 2-3secs it freeze-frames or stutters for a moment, and does not stop (recorded 5mins and it kept doing it). I really need to understand whether it is a software issue, or an issue with the firmware, or if it's hardware and i need to get it repaired. The camera takes perfectly fine photographs and i have no other problems.
Any ideas/fixes that I could be informed of would be great.

Sense Music tab stops playing after a short time

I have never been able to get my music tab functioning correctly on my device. Whenever I try to play a music file, it will play for about 1-2 minutes and then it just stops playing. It usually seems to happen around 1:45. It isn't just that it loses sound, the time stops counting up and everything. The only way to get it to start playing again is to actually stop the playback and start it over again. The problem only occurs when I try
to use the music tab. WMP, TCPMP, MortPlayer, etc are all fine.
This issue has gone on pretty much since I got my phone last year. I believe that at one time in the past it DID seem to get resolved but I have no idea what was different or what ROM I was running at the time.
Preventing the phone from turning the screen off (my first thought) does not appear to extend the time before it stops. Having the phone plugged in also has no effect. It happens using BT audio as well as the phone's speakers. This issue has persisted across multiple ROM versions and cooks. I have been running mostly EnergyROM lately but have also encountered it with Valkyrie and others.
If anyone has any good ideas on how to fix this I would be grateful. It has gotten to the point that I just ignore the music tab entirely if I don't actively remove it from Sense, but it would be nice to be able to use it.
I'm assuming you're playing your music off of the SD card? Does it behave the same when you play files from the onboard memory?
same here and yeah im running it off the SD card. help please
I too am having the exact same problem.
I have had the problem, but I found out that Opera was also always open when this happens, and I just assumed that the system was running out of memory, so I just play music when Im doing NOTHING else when using the Sense player, but the Alternative is to just use WMplayer or TCMP or Nitrogen
well sense the new cht has the music player on the homescreen i find it very nice and usefull and wmp does take up any memory while the htc sense doesnt..so yeah =/

maps and google music trouble

i've noticed that since updating to jellybean my google play music only works for a couple songs then stops playing. the doesn't force close and i can scroll around but nothing plays. today my maps kept force closing for no reason, anyone else seeing these issues? my phone is fully stock and unrooted.
This happened to me, too for the Play music -exactly like you describe. I'm sorry I don't know anything about how or why - but just letting you know you're not alone. I was also stock and unrooted at the time. I haven't tried it since so I don't know if anything I've done since then would make a difference. Would like to give the streaming a chance in the future, but it freezing is a worry for me if I'm going to spend money.
I just switched to a different player and haven't had the same issues. Were you streaming or playing from sd card ? I was playing from the sd card and I have wondered if this was part of the problem (just providing information in case it helps someone else).
i was streaming. i know if i restart my phone it works again for a few songs then stops.
i tried doing a factory reset on my phone in hopes that maybe something got corrupt during the update. it did not help. i think i figured out the maps problem. having the satellite layer on seems to be what kept causing maps to crash. i've never had this problem before though.
i decided to try using the play music widget instead of the app. it's been playing for 6 or 7 songs now, where as when i've used the app it would stop playing after 4-5 songs. so hopefully if i continue to use the widget instead i won't have any more problems.
well my play music is back to not working after a few songs even going through the widget.

Bluetooth issues with music

The past few weeks I've been having Bluetooth issues when playing music on my Note 4. I'll be playing stuff either on my PowerBeats2 or UE Boom and all of a sudden the music will stop playing, I'll hear a hiccup of sound a few seconds laters and that's it. When I check, the bluetooth on the phone is still on and still connected to the devices. The devices don't notice a drop connection either. I look at the music players and it LOOKS like they are still playing sometimes but there is no sound going through the bluetooth connection and nothing is coming out of the phone speakers either. What I end up having to do is turn off the Bluetooth on the phone, turn it on again and then manually force the connection on again between the two then hit play. It happens with Google Music player and the Samsung Music player and Musicmatch so it's not a particular app. Strange this is, it doesn't happen when I'm in my car and the charger is connected to it. It happens with songs on the internal memory and the microSD card so I don't think it's the microSD card going bad. What I do notice when it happens though is that it seems the phone completely lags out. Like it's pausing right before it happens. Screen response time can be nonexistant or laggy all of a sudden. Anyone else having this problem? I've wiped the cache and everything as well and this still happens.
I've also noticed my phone be quite laggy lately actually. It didn't happen originally when Lollipop was installed nor did the Bluetooth problems. I've been pulling apps off my phone and checking data and battery use to see if it's some app that's messing up but can't seem to pinpoint anything. I ordered a new battery because I've had it drop from 25% to like zero within a few minutes sometimes. I'm also considering wiping the whole phone and fresh installing Lollipop from scratch instead of sticking with the upgrade from KK that came through. I'm not sure if it's software or hardware related these problems. Any ideas or suggestions?

Problems with music in Lineage OS 14.1 on my S7 Edge

Hello guys.
I seem to have a problem while playing music on my S7 Edge (SM-G935F). I'm currently on my latest Lineage OS 14.1 nightly at the time of this post creation (hero2lte 2018-04-10 build). So basically, whenever I play music on the stock Music app, the music initially plays normally and smoothly (although most of the time I have to re-tap the play button for the music to actually run). When the phone sleeps, occasionally the music has some crackling, glitching sounds, which is ear-piercing and not at all favourable. The crackling sound is a bit similar to the sound produced when the headphone jack is loosened and readjusted. In worse cases, the music pauses until the phone is turned back on.
A few minutes after stopping and quitting the music app, the phone suddenly restarts by itself without any prior signs of lag or extreme RAM usage. This usually occurs when the phone goes to sleep. The restart also happens whenever I leave my phone to sleep with a Youtube video paused. I tried clearing apps in Recents, and freeing up some RAM using Booster but none of them made any difference. It is only when after the restart the music plays normally before these problems happen again.
Other music apps seem to have the same problem as well. The issue becomes more prominent with Google Play Music, but zero problems arise with Yonder Music (though its service was discontinued now). Spotify and sometimes Vanilla Music also shows a few signs of this problem. This problem also seems to be random. Sometimes the stock Music app plays smoothly, sometimes Google Play Music plays flawlessly, and sometimes both cannot even play a whole song during sleep.
I have been googling this issue a lot but to no avail, none shows up to be the same problem as mine. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any solution to this odd issue I'm facing? Thanks.
