[Q] Sound problem (YouTube etc.)

Hi folks,
Just want to know if someone also have the same problem and if he has succeeded to fix it :
Not always but pretty often when I watching a video on Youtube directly on the web or with the app (WiFi or even 3G) the sound becomes really jerky and the only "solution" to fix it and watch my video in a normal way is to reboot the phone (killing the running tasks has no effect...)
At the beggining I thought it was my headphones but they do work and the MP3 player also works without any problem...
Tks

I have exactly the same issue but it happens with music player as well. Especially with beats on. For example if the phone is locked and screen is off, when i press the unlock button it always jerks music that is on the background.
Any ideas? I'm on 4.0.4

Problems With Music Playback

I'm having issues with music playback but only when the screen is off. If the screen is on there is no problem.
The problem is that I have random short dropouts in the music playback.... sometimes once or twice during a song but sometimes more often. It seems to be totally random.
Also it happens regardless of what rom or music player I'm using. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing it?

I also have this problem when I'm listening to music that stored on sd card. Maybe your sdcard is kinda slow for reading maybe?

Thanks for the reply. I thought of that and transferred all music to the internal card for a test but same problem. And I don't understand why it doesn't give a problem when the screen is awake. It's weird.

I saw this problem long ago on S2 (lol) ...depending on the kernel they were using. It has to do with some buffering and CPU sccaling (SCALING_MIN_SUSPEND_FREQ ...and SCALING_MIN_STANDBY_FREQ). Maybe it's same issue... or the player you are using... or ROM. More info is needed to figure out the problem.
So what ROM and version are you using, kernel and what music player?
(I have no such issues on Revolution or Hurrican + PlayerPro)

[Q] Issues with skipping/pausing/starting .m4a

So I've been using Pocket Casts as a podcast player for a while now, and I've never had any issues until switching to the LG G3 (T-Mobile variant).
When I try to play any podcast with .m4a, the podcast will play normally, but the moment I try to use any seeking commands (forward, rewind, pause) the seeker will jump around.
For example, if I pause at 14:53, and then try to restart again, it could randomly jump to 1:10. The same thing happens when I try to forward or rewind.
Curiously, I've noticed that with rewinding and forwarding, they seem to prefer certain time spots. Like if I spam the rewind button, it will constantly go to a certain time period.
If you want to test this yourself, you can try downloading "The Rooster Teeth Podcast" or "The Patch Podcast" on any podcast player, as I know those two use the .m4a format.
To make sure it wasn't the player, I tried downloading podcast addict, which gave the same issue. I also downloaded an earlier episode of the Rooster Teeth Podcast which was an mp3 file, and it played with no issues.
Has anybody else encountered this issue, and does anybody have a fix?

I'd like to bump this seeing as I'm not the only one with this issue. I too tried using other podcast players to play the RT Podcast/Patch, all of them would skip ahead several minutes. They would also refuse to seek past the 45 minute mark or something around there.

Got the same problem with podcast addict. The developer wrote me, that the app is using the internal player. After testing the internal player with m4a files, i can confirm that the issue persist.
I also wrote the LG support about this issue and the answer was: LG does not official support m4a! WTF?
Alternative 1: Use 3. party player. But I didn't find a good one. Only VLC was playing the file but stops audio files if the screen is off.
Alternative 2: Use mp3 feed instead of m4a.

Pretty bummed out about this.

Yes, it's there. Bluetooth is unreliable with media playing, not so with phone calling, which works fine.

Ok, for 15 minutes or hours music on my phone streams fine as well (first bluetooth media play on a reboot).
Now please try calling your phone and reply. Once the call is over, on my phone any media I play over bluetooth, goes on play/ pause indefinitely. I can fix this with a phone reboot.
Other times, after I stopped using my bluetooth stereo headphone to listen to music, if I use the phone to listen to music again, phone goes on again with pausing music.
The one fun thing is that if you plug the earphones in the 3.5 jack the music plays fine, which excludes the music player from being the main problem.
Usual BT behaviour is: incoming call > stop music playing. Call ended> start music player back again on play. Something goes wrong in here, phone probably thinks a call keeps incoming and ending. At least that is what I think.

Okay.. Usual BT behaviour you described is ok what I was thinking that though the call comes and music has to stop ; and when it ends music has to resume; the resume n pause are to be done by music player... So we have to view dat angle as well.
Don't worry I'll give my best input so that you can enjoy hassle free music output!!!

Yes the problem persist. I read a few other posts in motion rom thread that cited the same problem I have..
Changing music player doesn't solve it.

Thread Closed at OP request

My OP3 keeps opening the music player in the notification without reasons(OOS 3.2.7)

Hi,
I have my OP3 for 2 weeks, but there is something strange, the phone is opening the music player in the notification without reasons, sometimes when I'm scrolling across an app or while I lock the phone. At least 2/3 times per days !
But it doesn't launch the music, it just open the music player in the notification.
I'm using full STOCK phone, I disabled the next/previous music gestures, didn't changed anything !
If someone could help me for that it would be nice ! Is it a know software issue ? Maybe I would have a hardware issue ?
Thanks !

This won't be much help but sometimes PowerAmp did that too on CM13 for absolutely no reason, with BT off, so it wouldn't have connected to the car stereo. Wish I could figure out why

Could it be hardware related ?

I have been having the same problem for a long time and I have always been on OxygenOS(currently running the Open Beta 7). I always thought it was a problem with Saavn but I didn't look for an alternative or a solution since I had paid for its pro service. This now seems to be a general problem...

Edit: Never mind, somehow I missed that you already tried this, sorry.
Disable the "Music control" from Settings->Gestures and see if that helps. I had the music player opening a couple of times when leaving locked phone on the table, I guess my fingers touched the screen and phone thought I was drawing the music control gestures

Still happning on the Beta 7 ?
How is it possible ? It's not software solvable ?

Because if it's a hardware issue that I couldn't fix then I would like to know it and maybe push back the phone before the end of my 15 days return.

I had a similar issue where Google music would start by itself, even with gestures disabled. I uninstalled gm updates, cleared all cache, reinstalled gm. So far so good. However, just today another perhaps unrelated problem: music is routed through external speakers while listening over the same wired headphones. I made sure plugged in all the way, it only worked by removing and reinserting them.

I already disabled gestures, didn't changed anything. This morning when I woke up the music player was again in the notification, whereas I didn't touched the phone during all the night. And this happen even when I'm using the phone.

Well, this seems to be a GM issue. I have Spotify on the phone and it's only launch the stock music player.
