music playback issues

I love the phone (got it launch day) puts my Mytouch 3G to shame. I love everything about this phone....... well except for one thing.
I am having a hell of a time with audio playback. 60% of the time i try to play back music on stock music player it tells me that the audio format is not supported on this device. using Winamp wasnt much of a help as it will just cycle through songs and freeze up.
resetting the phone helps sometimes but not everytime.
I also tried removing all the music from my phone and re-copying all the files. still an issue.
I've also noticed it acts up a lot more via bluetooth (i have a pair of rocketdog behind the ear headphones)
I'm stumped...
Any ideas? Anyone else getting this issue?

codec, song encoding comes to mind
also try with different amount of songs
i know on the old SGS if you had more than few hundreds of mp3 or mix format songs in it, it can drive it crazy
so try a couple hundreds, then work your way up, until you find the amount of files it can read before it becomes too much.
all this can be fixed once rooted, and installing better media players
winamp for android sucks by the way
you should try the ICE cream leaked media player from stock android, it's better

Curious why not just stream the music from ur pc?? google music is practically flawless

Seen a user in another thread had to format their card in this phone, then add music. Try that.

I tried this last night. didn't help much. I'm 99.98% sure it has something to do with my bluetooth headphones. Going to buy a new pair and see if it makes a difference...

If you get the sony ericsson mw600, you'll be amazed at their features. I love them and use them all the time and the battery lasts longer than the specs say. I can get 14hrs out of them.

Just picked up a new set of headphones.... does the exact same thing.... odd.... wondering if its just my phone or if this is a glitch...haven't seen anyone else report this.

Pandora and google music work great with my motorola s10-hd headset...

I'll be getting my phone tues. I use sony dr-bt22 bluetooth headphones.... will report back.

I have this problem when steaming music over A2DP through stock Music app or Google Music. All 320kbps fixed rate MP3s. I've tried via my integrated car audio, computer, headphones... all same result when playing local media. Streaming via Rdio works completely fine. Playing local media without A2DP also works fine... Logcat reports some kind of permission related problem...

Weird, I play FLAC or 320s all day long on this thing and no "Format Unsupported" has come up on regular headset/aux cable or BT. I have however, had a problem with the music stopping when I get a notification..the time continues to move but no sound.

Just an update, my stereo BT headphones work fine

[Q] Music stops when app switching.

I've asked this question before but there were no replies.... I hope this time I'll get some pointers and re-phrase my question better.
I'm using the GSM Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1
Sometimes my music stops playing when switching apps or pressing the home button to return to the home screen, it doesn't happen all the time, but very troublesome when it does. It happens usually just right after unlocking the phone from sleep. I'm using the stock music player
I've noticed that this issued happened to Android phones as well, I tried to update the stock music app, and switched kernels. I don't know what else I can do. I don't recall encountering this problem back in 4.0.4.
Any help would be appreciated

Give us a bit more info:
1. What music app are you using? If it's an app that can both play local media files and stream, which are you doing?
2. Are you playing your music through headphones, the internal speaker, or Bluetooth?
3. If headphones, have you tried other headphones? If Bluetooth, how far away are the devices?
4. Which ROM and Kernel are you using?

I said I'm using the stock music player, Play Music.
I'm playing music through headphones.
I am sure that this problem is not because of the headphones
I'm using the stock 4.1.1 ROM JRO03C. This problem happend on both the stock kernel and Franco Milestone 5

Are you running any other memory hungry apps? Sounds like your music player is getting killed because the memory is needed for something else.

I've had this happen in two instances, so hopefully my personal experience will help you.
The first time, it ended up being a faulty cord in my Nokia Purity HD headphones, I bought a new cord and that fixed my issues.
The second time it was because I was attempting to play music, that I had downloaded in Spotify, but since I was in a crappy coverage area, it would pause the music every time I lost a data connection, even though the music was stored locally. Switching Spotify to offline mode fixed it, so you might try switching to offline only mode in Play Music.
Even if you don't think it's your headphones (for example, you tried them on a PC and they worked), you have to remember that phones have many more contacts inside the headphone jack, used for the media controls in headsets (headphones with buttons and mics), so if there is a short in your headphones that makes the phone think you're pressing the "Play/Pause" button, it wouldn't show in your PC, because most if not all PCs lack this functionality.

[Q] Bluetooth Streaming Audio Issues?

I'm having issues with distortion/cracking/popping with my One in the car. When I'm streaming audio through Google Music or Pandora, there is noticeable distortion whether Beats is on or off.
I previously had an S3 and that worked fine. This morning I paired my work iPhone to the car and was able to play from the on device music without any distortion. Next up I'm going to try an aux cable to see if it's a Bluetooth or phone issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.

I noticed major hissing with the beats EQ on. Turned it off and I don't hear it anymore.

I've got a 2013 Sonata with the Dimension navigation radio.
I suspect something related to Beats but I'll have to play around with it while not going along at 75mph.

Hmm, interesting. I'm assuming you're on the stock ROM?
Also, you said you still get the distortion even with Beats disabled, so do you think it's still Beats related?

Stock, with a bunch of stuff frozen. I'm a noob to modern HTC, so besides turning off Beats in Settings, are there other ways to tweak it?

Using Google Play Music in a 2013 Camaro and I've got no audio issues.

I just purchased the phone, but slacker worker flawlessly. Have not had a chance to try Pandora or other music apps yet.

Rush hour traffic this morning allowed me to do some additional testing. I found that Play Music is distorted with/without Beats and also regardless of how loud I have the Bluetooth output volume set. I don't have any full songs on the phone, so I opened the generic Music app and played back some of my ringtones. None of them were distorted coming over the radio, so I'm further puzzled about why Play Music would have such an issue.
I'm going to try Pandora on the way home to see if that is affected as well.

Another update: Pandora works great. Play Music is toying with me...

I'm curious to see what your testing shows. I need to get a new stereo for the car and would like to do the bluetooth thing.

I just flashed a debloated ROM, so I'm going to try Play Music again with it being a non-system app.

I'm partial to Amazon for my music, curious to see how it works.

i just had that same issue, but with the native player
just got the phone less then 24 hour's and i had it crackle when i had it playing in my civc! it didn't do that yesterday, but today i noticed when i played deadmau5. maybe i had to turn it down one or two notches. maybe volume has something to do with it!

I've tried it as low as 50% on the volume bar. I'm thinking that the interference has to be with Play Music, Beats, and my car's amp. Or some combination of the two since my S3 did not have the issue, and my work iPhone plays just fine.

It's a [decent] stock system, so I'll have to check around for that info.

So now that I finally managed to phrase it correctly, there are a lot of other people reporting the same issue, and it appears to affect Sense ROMs due to the factory settings for the Bluetooth stack. AOSP does not seem to be affected.
https://www.google.com/search?num=20&q=htc+one+bluetooth+audio+distortion

I just got my HTC One from Verizon yesterday and noticed a horrible sound quality when streaming music through Bluetooth. I'm streaming to LG CM4530 stereo system. The distortion is just unbearable during high pitches. The problem persists regardless the volume in both the phone and stereo, the app used (tried Pandora and Play Music), turning Beats Audio off or even cancelling the EQ on the stereo system. I'm convinced that it's not the app because I just replaced my old and slow Droid 2 Global loaded with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and never had any problems with A2DP sound distortion. (Yes, ironic.)
Many point that the problem is on the stock HTC ROM, but I haven't hear of any fix so far. Any suggestion?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but have other users with the sound-over-bluetooth distortion issue found any way of solving it other than flashing an AOSP ROM?

Car Bluetooth Stutter

I can't get music to play properly with car player. It stutters 100 percent of the time, calls work. Music works fine on headphones and Bluetooth speakers.
I did network reset, cleared cache. Checked and unchecked media, contacts, etc in Bluetooth settings.
Used other phones to see if car player has issues. It works with other phones.
This seems like a OnePlus issue, even other models in past have been marred by this.
Is there any solution to this.
I'm on latest 10.0.6 oxygen. Music never worked with car player.

What car system and is the car system up to date?

It's an aftermarket media player, there are no firmware updates from manufacturer.
If you search you'll find this issue in a lot of OnePlus phones. I tried all suggested answers, nothing worked.
Could it be Bluetooth version that's causing this... My other Bluetooth devices are bt 4.0 and 5.0... Car player is bt 3.0... Maybe using an external BT adapter is the only way out.

Hi, I've had the same problems myself, but I might found a solution... And it is downloaded music on my phone storage!!!
Yes if I was streaming from YT music as I have premium subscription, most likely I could not listen to anything because I think interferes with the Bluetooth streaming. So I've downloaded a few songs and tried to listen from library on the same app and worked as a charm!
What can I say.. try it and see if works for yourself!
Best of luck!

I stream music all day everyday in my car. I use the play music app to listen to my library. I don't have any issues with stutters. I am also using an after market unit. The other day I did have a problem with my device not playing music when it paired. I got so frustrated since my Bluetooth was pairing with my headphones that I got the manual for the aftermarket unit and found the instructions to reset it. Resetting the unit fixed my problem. Have you tried completely resetting your aftermarket unit?

Sounds like your media player in the car is the issue. With my pioneer head unit I did have to reset it before it would pair and work correctly.

I'll try resetting the HU... Meanwhile I found an aux BT adapter lying around and it's working fine, that'll be my backup option till issue is sorted out.

I've been playing downloaded music already but it Stutters.... Though this thought did cross my mind that streamed music is copyrighted and encryption/codec could causes the issue... But then again it works with headphones...
I'll try some music player app and play from internal storage... Keep you posted

Resetting HU didn't work... Neither did playing downloaded music from internal storage.
I think OnePlus while implementation didn't fully address compatibility issues ... Most car HU are older BT version.

Question A poblem with my bluetooth headset connection

Hello, Xiaomi pad 5 owners,
I have a problem when I connect my bluetooth headset to my pad 5, the problem is the sound gets interrupted (I don't know if I have used the right expression) and that's annoying me!
If you didn't get it, it's like:
She works at nights, by th'e'e'e'e water
She’s gone astray, so far away
From her fat'a'aher’s daughter
I hope anyone help me!
Note: The headset is working very well on my Huawei Nova 5t without any problems.

Unfortunately, it's happening with any app not just music playes.
When I tried Apple airpods (Original) there wasn't any problem, but unfortunately it's not mine.

reinstall miui or check if you install anything on the last few days.
