Hi folks,
I've noticed today when listening to music on spotify or Google music that every 20 or so there's a little stutter with my music, like a small gap of silence when the beats audio is enabled. Very minimal, like 0.5 of a second silence. Disabled everything is fine. I've tried different headphones as well as a speaker dock and it's the same.
Anyone else encountered this?

I got the same thing
Only happens when beats is enabled, only the music app is running and the screen is off.
When you disable beats, poof problem goes away!
My guess is that the fifth companion core doesnt handle the beats software well. The beats equalizer probably isnt written all too well for it and causes it to stutter.
My solution so far is to disable beats (as stupid as that is for a beats enabled device) and wait for a software update in the future.
Also worth mentioning, it seems to happen alot more with apps not optimized for ICS like spotify (which is buggy as it is).

I am having the same issue. It's extremely annoying. I would like to use Beats because it's a feature of the phone but I can't put up with the annoying stutters.
Or I can't hear it, or I don't have this issue...
Seems some issue there mentioned and known already.....

Also my audio stutters when taking hdr photos as well I noticed now. 5 cores and it can't multi task!

3G is the cause
I also having this issue, and it only occurs when i have beats audio enabled, playing internet radio through 3G in sleep mode. When i try it with wifi (beats audio enabled,sleepmode)instead of 3G than there is no stutter/skipping.
3G internet radio with beats disabled is also stutter free.
Edit: It seems that internet radio puts more stress on the cores with wifi enabled so that it won't switch to such low clocks that the audio is stuttering
I've noticed one "pop" about twenty seconds after I turn the screen off, when Beats is on and playing music using the stock app. Best guess is that it's the transfer from main cores to the companion that causes it. It only happens the one time per screen off.
I get that problem too but listen without beats now which cures it. No loss as well because initially beats on sounded good. More bass, more treble.
But after a bit, it sounded harsh and unnatural. I can get the same effect with beats off by just upping the volume without it getting annoying after a few mins.
So I listen to Spotify with beats off...
Same issue for me too, through both wired headphones and bluetooth and with both the stock music player and GoneMAD music player. Sound was dropping constantly.
Turning off beats and I've had very few glitches.
The fix is to. While you listen to Spotify, settings, sound, sound improvment, change headphone type to Beats PRO. Then there is no stuttering. :-D

Indeed, it works !
for me, it only stutters with the screen off, beats enabled, and if the track playing is in the FLAC format. Must be something to do with the extra processing power needed for that + the beats audio - something that the companion core doesnt handle very well.

hmm could be indeed, since i have only played FLAC or internetradio while experiencing the issues (have not tried MP3 since i have my One X).
But with the beats audio set on Beats Pro headset(like mentioned above) does resolve the stuttering, even with FLAC files
my audio stutters occasionally when playing through the HTC Music app with or without Beats enabled. Very frustrating.
Hmm seems like a solution:

hopefully in 1.1.4 (tomorrow)
btw u can try adding this line in build.prop & reboot.

It seems that the stutter is fixed in ROMeOS 1.1.4

All,
Just a quick FYI - had the stutter and skip issues myself - fixed them all by downloading 3rd party apps from the store - so far no issues, using mobo player for video and n7player for music...both free (but I think n7player is in beta and plans to license it) and both do better than the HTC default apps.
Couldn't see a specific topic on this issue so thought I'd start one up.
In certain situations I'm getting a very noticeable amount of audio hiss when playing sound over headphones via the One X. So far I've tried the following headphones with the following results:-
Apple iPod headphones - low level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sennheiser HD 457 Open back Headphones - very low level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by a slightly audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sennheiser MM50 earphones with Mic - high level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sony DR-BT22 Bluetooth Headphones - very high level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Is anyone else able to replicate these issues? Is this something that can be fixed in software? The constant hiss and crackle when using my preferred headphones is really starting to annoy me
I'm not getting any hiss with my sennheiser 555s - in fact, its quite transparent at all volumes. There is a slight pop about 1 second after ending a track on any player - stock music app, doubletwist, grooveshark

Noticed this as well at low volume on speech based Podcasts, it's really annoying.
Different headphones seem to filter it out better but with my usual in the ear headphones it is unbearable.
So the One X does not seem to be better than my own SGS2.
Oh well, I was thinking of getting this. Would probably skip it now. I don't have hopes of LG or Huawei or Motorola delivering something to rival this or the SGS3, so I will probably wait for the SGS3.
Yes, I've noticed this too, with my Bose QC 3's. I assumed it was something to do with the noise cancelling on the headphones but maybe it's a fault with the device?

I get a whine on my car speakers that I didn't get on my desire, only when there is no audio playing though

Same problem with my Sennheiser CX300II
I don't know if it's hardware or software...
Got some new headphones this morning (JVC HAFX1X) and with these the hiss is sooooo bad
Same here. It went good untill i plugged phone into the charger. Every 2 minutes it hisses..
Then rebooted phone while charging, problem gone.
Mine is charging now and I'm listening to music for the last 4 hours - I don't hear anything.
Could it depend on the player used?
My headphones do not have any active noise cancellation.
I don't listen to music so I can't comment on that but I do notice an audible pop / crack noise sometimes when a sound is played. It doesn't happen all the time but a good example is when I use Twitter and pull it down to refresh. There are two sound effects that play, one as you pull it down and one as it refreshes. The noise happens after you pull it down for the first sound only. I'm only mentioning it here in case the two are related as I've not seen anyone else mention a pop / crack noise.
Sounds like audio processing thread is being run at too low priority.
I notice that when i'm playing music and a notification comes in.... my music abruptly stops and has some static sound while the notification sound plays and then my music resumes again..... to be honest... it's pretty pathetic.... especially the static that's associated....
Can any developer actually come up with a dimming effect or a concurrent audio playing?
I remember that audio couldn't be played in parallel in the early 90s... but surely someone must have found a way to fix this by now? anyone?

They consider it as a feature. Android in general handels playing audio simultaneously pretty well. You can for example play music through the music.app and play audio through a piano app.

This annoys me as well. Used to be perfect on my Desire with CM7
it's madness! but can't this be overrided by a mod/software?

Would love a solution to this.
This depends totally on the player, at least that's how I always experienced it.
At any rate, I'm using IceCold AOKP combined with Google Play Music - (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5tdXNpYyJd) , and notifications only dim music, as you would expected.
Is anyone else annoyed with the exclusion of an equalizer? Music is a hobby of mine and the music player makes all the songs sound very flat. I've tried downloading an eq from the store, but after every song it resets back to the normal sound. I've also tried other music players with built in eq's, but those also reset after every song.

If music is your hobby you should know that equaliser is not a solution to your problems. Many times when/if you have bad headphones or your ears have got used to music that has too much bass in it compared proper hifi mixes, proper headphones and properly mixed music sounds flat. First I would try out better headphones and if you still have the same problem then try equalisers.

I have a pair of skullcandy Hesh 2.0. When i did a sound comparison between those and Beats HD i found no difference between them. So my headphones aren't terrible.

I still suggest you to try some other headphones. For example Sennheiser CX300-ll is not a pad pair could do with a little bit more bass when there is noise in the background. Or Koss Porta pro is cheap and good pair even though a bit dark sounded.

I don't know if it's your headphones but the stock music player gives me way too much bass actually. And I'm getting the phone for its Music only. I own V-Moda Crossfade LP.
So I got the phone yesterday. Very exciting experience to be honest. But there's something that I don't quite understand. When I play a YouTube video, a song or whenever the stereo speakers are used, they make a strange continuous sound or something, it's not loud, it's just there. I don't know if this is the way it works on all these phones, or should I go and change it for another one. Please let me know if all of you guys have this sound of nothing coming from the stereo speakers.
I'm getting the strange sound as well when the speakers are used. Its pretty much there regardless on what volume I'm on (Except 0 volume of course) but it stops when I pause a video/music. Then when I start playing again, the sound starts to come back.

it is dolby atmos problem you don't like that noise , going to sound option and turn off the dolby atmos.
Hmm... No problem at all with my device (stock MIUI 12.0.5.0 Global), with or without Dolby Atmos.
I suggest further testing with apps such this:
Function Generator
I have same problem with my F3, weird noise while using Dolby Atmos on speakers, did not check on headset.
No issue when Atmos is off.
