I have an HTC Touch Dual (20 key) running Windows Mobile 6.1. Last night all of the music players I have on the phone failed: HTC Audio Manager opens but the songs scroll rapidly (but don't play) in the player view, Windows Media won't open / respond at all, and Pocket Player 4.0 (and later 4.1 after reinstall) will open but closes whenever 'play' is pressed. I have Napster music to go subscription music on a microSD card that tests fine when I insert and play in my laptop. Nothing that I know of has changed on the phone (ie new programs or updates) since last successful use and all other programs seem to work as normal. I tried restarting the phone including a soft reset - no change.
Any ideas, help, suggestions would be most appreciated as I am loathe (surprise) to do a hard reset and load everything in again if I can avoid it.
Thanks,
Paul

What a disappointment!!! NOT RECOMMENDED….UNLESS - You only use Windows media player, button functions do not work with other media players, even tried core player with the “wmp plugin adapter “ which allows core player to 'host' plugins that are originally designed for Windows Media Player 10 but alas that doesn’t work either.
Even if you don’t mind using windows media player you are still left with the problem that pressing a button on the w100 wired remote will turn your device screen on. This happens even if you have set a button in windows media player to turn the device screen off. If you lock your device screen then you can’t use the button you have set in windows media player to turn the device screen off because it is not possible to map the windows media player to a button on the remote. The screen will also not turn off automatically after a given period of time while windows media player is running.
So you might want to consider purchasing an extra battery if you decide to go with the w100. As for the headphones with the E100, don’t bother, you would have better sound quality from two tin cans connected by a piece of string, and less treble.
I also tried installing the latest audio drivers from HTC, first off they do not install and you get a message that you have the latest driver already installed. To install the driver you need to extract the files from the exe and install the cab file manually, still doesn’t help. If anyone has found a solution besides an rma or can recommend a wired remote that actually works satisfactorily feel free to post a reply.
Thanks for the feedback.
I was actually looking into buying their wired remote... thank god I read your post first!

Audio Manager
I have a HTC 6800 AKA Titan AKA Mogul AKA P4000
and ive updated my rom with a 2.16 custom version(the last untill now) that has HTC audio manager as a default player so when press play on the w100 it automaticaly starts HTC AUDIO MANAGER and not WMP but there is still that mute button that does nothing ... anyway what i wanted to say is that i'm sure that there is a solution for everyone .. we just have to wait till someone like colonel00 or anyone else buy that controller and hopefully find this value (.reg file)
For more info or testing just PM me
Wired remote works -found my problem!
I have had the same problem many have stated they have where the remote does not work with the Windows Media Player.
I talked to HTC's support as well as one of their product managers. The solutiuon for me was simple:
turn 'off' the little mute switch on the side of the control block. Mine was on and showed the RED paint. Turned it off and everything works . . . . .

In S2U2 you must activate this settings
Autostart=1 (start S2U2 when the device is woke up)
IdleStart=0 (start S2U2 when the device's backlight is turned off)
OffLCD=5 (x seconds after the backlight is off, device will be turned off; minimum is 5 seconds
Then you must lock your device. After 3-5 sec backlight will be turned off, S2U2 will be started, AND then HTC AudioManager will run in background. All buttons work fine, my device - HTC 3300 Artemis (Rom: Artemis_Touch_4.02_full_withnocube)

Sorry for my bad English...
My orbit 2 appears to have developed a fault which I cannot find any other occurrence of on this forum.
Suddenly the whole device will crash every time I try to play any music file in either Audio Manager (my preferred application) or the default windows media player.
I have performed a hard reboot, reloaded all my songs into the Audio manager library but still the entire phone crashes every time I try and play a song.
My music would play in Coreplayer without crashing the system, but this program was rather slow and unstable with the volume of songs I have. The radio works unhindered.
Anyone got any ideas?
Solved the problem and thought I'd share the solution in case anyone else has trouble like this.
I discovered that seven files (music files and images) had corrupted on my storage card, and this seems to have caused problems for audio manager and windows media player. Data back up, then a formatting of the card have left the device working smoothly once more.
Using DCS v 13 the music tab was working fine at first with the exception that it would get in the way if I wanted to control music from other programs via bluetooth. Now it just seems to crash when i load it, can't play any songs or change the track. tried soft reseting, didn't work out, any body out there have any suggestions.
Side note, anyone having problems with msn via wifi, had it for a bit on my tytn II and now its back, proxy = disabled
hi all.
have noticed something with my hd2 that is rather annoying; as it happens everytime this is done.
i have music on my storage card, and the hd2 sense player will play it fine. however, if you connect it to a computer as a Disk Drive, so you have fast access to the storage card, and then remove it from the computer, the music player is unable to read the music stored on my card, and any that is stored on the internal storage as well. the only way i have found to resolve this is a soft reset, and then the player will properly find the media again.
it looks like it hangs while trying to search for the media, and if you tilt for albums, it can't find anything despite displaying the media on the portrait page.
apologies if this has been answered, but i couldn't find this bug in any of the other music freezing threads.
does anyone know what exactly causes this and how to fix it?
other than don't use it as a disk drive
Using a OPO and when I stream music over Bluetooth, eventually, the music player, any music player, apollo, jetaudio, orpheus all freeze up when a track changes at some random point and the whole app hangs and locks up the phone as well.
Eventually the phone kills the app and restarts it but by then I've already run over several pedestrians and driven my car into a ditch trying to figure out why my music stopped.
This has happened on both my sony soundbar and pioneer car reciever. As such I can safely say its not relegated to one Bluetooth enabled player.
I use to use a Kinivo BTC450 and never had this issue for a long while on Android 4, but after the switch to 5 the issue popped up on my sound bar and when i put the pioneer in my car it showed up there as well.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
===NOTE===
Stock OPO 64
Never Rooted or modified
Syncs 30+ gigs of music
factory reset once since purchased, that was last month. Problem was happening before that. Factory reset did nothing.
(I am posting this because I searched for a while and found nothing related)
SOLUTION FOUND
So after a lot of trial and error, Android does not play nice with .wma files and .m4a files even though the media player is advertised to be compatible with it.
So onto the solution, batch transcoded every wma and m4a file to mp3. Easy CD.DA Extractor had a lovely little feature that made this a hassle free jaunt. It can replace any song converted, with its converted version and delete the old one, so i didnt need to manually replace every song maually. And a quick find and replace function, looking for wma and replacing with mp3 saved me from having to redo all my playlists.
Happy day
