Sound bug with Text-to-speech + Music listening

Hello guys
Today I discovered a bug with the sound when it passes through the Bluetooth or the jack 3.5inch. I am using a car radio/CDplayer with AUX input. For bluetooth, i tried with HBH-IS800 headphones.
When I am guided by Google Navigation and listen to music (tested with PowerAmp, Winamp and Deezer), the automatic shutdown of the music is good and the instructions are said but the sound is very very low. I can hardly hear the instructions.
If I press the Pause button on the music player, the sound of instructions is
perfect.
I did not have this problem with 2.3.2, it appears with the 2.3.3 (.145).
And the problem does not appears with the Stock Player, or Spotify or when the sound comes from the speaker.
Tried with Samsung Galaxy S in 2.3.4 and no problem.
Maybe a SE problem or a 2.3.3 bug.
Am I the only one to experience this problem and is there a fix?
Find it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16051692 . It's a 2.3.3 bug.
Thanks

crackling when screen off...

yesterday sound was awesome screen on or off. i did the update this morning just for hah's. now my music crackles occasionally after screen goes off. anyway to uninstall update so i can verify?

i think i may have fixed my problem. google music was fine. in poweramp i unticked "high priority" in settings and the crackling seems to have disappeared. weird.

I had tried changing every setting and couldn't get it back to normal until I wiped the app data which solved the problem.

if anybody having problems with the crackling i mentioned above with poweramp go into settings in advanced and audio engine and tweak your audio buffer to huge or large. auto i guess doesn't allow a big enough buffer and creates the problems with sound. google music plays fine.

my regular sound notifications crackle when the screen is off...not even playing music.

I haven't seen this issue at all.

There are a few threads about this with more info. Definitely 48KHz sample rate mp3 don't work well when in low power mode (screen off), only 44.1KHz. Seems some people have found various ways of stopping it. One is turning on the eq in music, another the buffer size in power amp.
Google needs to root out the problem. I was hoping 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 would have a fix for everyone. I personally have not seen it happen outside of someone sending me a 48KHz sample rate mp3.

I have an issue where offline Google Music flac files will suffer from this distortion when the screen is off. It happens to most of my flac files, and to none of my mp3 files.

I experienced this problem even when playing Youtube vids... I am just testing it now.
Video and sound would crack and pop for brief periods seemingly at random when playing songs in various players - I thought at first that I had a bad wire in the headphones, but it happened without headphones as well.
I never had this problem before and I installed 4.1.1 update a few days ago.
I just uninstalled a media app (don't remember the name now haha - but it's similar to imedia share) and did a cold reboot (removed battery) and I have now been testing for 15 minutes, and so far no problems with MP3 players or Youtube.
Honestly - I think it may have been an app running in the background - so try uninstalling media apps and do a cold reboot.
I still LOVE this phone!

[Q] HDMI experience - audio out problem

I have been playing with HDMI out. Using official Samsung adapter EPL3FHU and TV Panasonic TH-42PX80E. So far I cannot get out audio consistently.
When connected first time, I had system sound off, so I could see picture, but no audio (form system) as expected. When playing movie with BSPlayer, VLC, or MX I got audio out of built-in speaker though (and not through TV).
Reconnected with system sound on, I could get system plonks and boings out of TV. Playing songs from Neutron was fine as well. Even playing original Samsung demo video via VLC produced sound on TV.
Then I tried one .mkv with DTS (which plays fine in BSPlayer with sound on internal speaker) and the sound through HDMI stopped working. Then I tried again Neutron, VLC, but I could not get even the apps that were working, working them again. System sounds are fine though.
And so far I was not able to recover.
It looks like there are some incompatibilities, probably between some players, sound formats which break one part of sound path (but not all, as system clicks are still transported correctly). And this break seems to be kind of permanent, until some reset. But simple reboot does not solve this.
I wonder what I might be missing.

I can partially reply to myself. The problem is that some players (it seems BSPlayer, and MX do that) cannot play DTS through HDMI (though BSPlayer can play it through internal speaker) and for some reason it resets volume settings for multimedia to zero (i.e. no sound). Once I realized that and "reenabled" volume for multimedia, it seems fine for Neutron, VLC and system sounds.
VLC can even play DTS through HDMI out, but for some reasons suffers from sound being out of sync with video.
So now the question remains, what is good video player, which can get out DTS through HDMI out.

Have you been able to get multichannel audio out HDMI?

No audio in google music for only "one" song.

Hi! Loving my new phone with everyday that passes by. But, I'm having a really weird issue.
I have a music track (Hotel California) in flac (16bit) format on my phone. Although it does play on google music, there is no sound output in either the speaker or the headphone jack. But when I use my bluetooth headphones, it plays flawlessly. Interestingly this is happening to only that one particular track.
I have 90% of my music on the phone in flac and even the 5.1 channel flac files play perfectly. Apart from this one song! (this happens with only google music)
But when I use Neutron Music player, the song plays. But again not with google music. AAAHHH! It's frustrating!!!
P.S. It is happening with some other tracks too. Perhaps hardware decoding?

Problem with lhdc codec

Hi. i have a problem with lhdc codec and xiaomi wireless headphones 2. sometimes the sound stops and comes out on the speakers. and when viewing a page on Google Chrome when a video playing, Chrome crashes and quits on its own. With the aac and sbc codecs it works fine.
Other observations; the volume is very low at half and increases or decreases by several steps too quickly.
