Been using htc sensation for a week or so.
While playing an mp3 using either the stock htc sense audio player or doubletwist, a call comes through. I answer the call. The audio pauses. I hang up the call. The audio resumes but soulds mono and muffled like a very bad quality mp3 rip. This not just for the audio from the mediaplayers, it is all alerts/ notifications.
Anyone have any experience/ resolution with this issue?
Corrupt audio drivers? Faulty unit?
I have the exact same problem. I hope someone can answer this. I found a workaround for that, but it's not elegant. When I notice that the sound in my music player is "mono"-like, I disconnect the headset, play my song over the speaker and then connect the headset again. That fixed the sound quality for me.
BTW, I couldn't find a way to reboot my music player either (which I think would have solved the problem too). Stopping the running/cached process for the music player doesn't work either. The music player continues playing.
Hope this helps a bit while someone fixes our problem in a more elegant way.

I highly doubt its corrupt audio drivers. I tried duplicating your problem, but it didn't happen for me, my apologies. Would a simpler fix of just pausing the song, disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones fix the problem?

The solution of playing the audio over the speaker then reconnecting the headphones worked. Thanks tnimoruen.
You have to unplug the headphones from the 3.5mm jack then play the audio over the speaker though. simply pausing the audio while the headphones are still plugged in & resuming playback will not fix it.
Not elegant but more "economical" than having to restart the device after every phone call.
glad I could help
I found a more elegant solution While listening to music, press the middle button in your headset twice (as to redial a call) and immediately hang up the call. That should fix the sound without having to disconnect the headset and play music through the speaker.

I have been in the process of using my Sensation as my mp3 player over my iTouch (purchased bluetooth fm transmitter and docks and what not), but have run into a problem I can't seem to fix. When I am playing music there is a distinct distortion in the sound. It sounds almost like a scratching, static as if listening to music on a blown out speaker. This happens with every player I have used (Player Pro, PowerAmp, Stock player) and every media I have used to listen to my music (built in speaker, external speaker, headphone, stock headset, fm transmitter). I have played with the equalizer settings long enough and cannot get rid of this annoyance. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Bump, am I the only one with this issue?
I noticed it but I hard reset and it went away. I use poweramp

I haven't done a factory reset yet... if that cures it I will, but that's a lot of reinstalling I have to do
Just thought I would bump this...I am a bit surprised by the poor sound ...particularly over A2DP
I bought some JVC headphones that are high quality and the sound is really clear after a while i notice when i plug them in my Sensation the sound is terrible it sounds like a pair of 5 dollar headphones with no bass, it was working fine what gives?
Wait... So you were using the headphones in Sensation fine for some time, but then this suddenly happened? Try them in another device to see if it's a problem with headphones. You can also turn on SRS/Equalizer in Music settings.
Did the sound get worse after answering a call and going back to the music app? Does the problem get fixed when you reboot the phone? If so, disconnect the headphone, play music through the speaker and connect the headphone back while the music is playing. It should get fixed. If you have a headset, while listening to music, you can press the main button twice (as to redial a call) and then immediately cancel the call. It should give you back the good sound.
No matter what, if notification sound is enabled, while I'm playing music through the headphone jack whenever I receive a message the music skips and the notification plays over the on-board speaker along with a small blip of the audio playing. Its extremely annoying.
Even when using PowerAmp, an app with settings that keeps the music from stopping when a notification is played can't keep the audio from re-routing to the on-board speaker for the duration of the sound.
Whats going on, and how can I attempt to fix this.

Thank you, looks like I'm flashing a new Rom tonight!
So, I'm not sure if this bug can be addressed in MX Player, but here's the issue...
I listen to audio books, a lot of them. If the audio is CD quality without any background hiss, then there are brief pauses of silence between sentences.
When there is a pause of silence for maybe 500 ms or less, my bluetooth radio or bluetooth speaker goes into a power saving mode until sound is heard again. When the silence ends and speaking resumes, the first syllable of the first word is usually chopped off.
How to address this?
1) If MX Player can instruct Android to 'Stay Awake' the bluetooth radio, that would be best.
2) If MX Player can send a barely audible signal or background hiss, that would keep my bluetooth radio/speaker from dozing off due to lack of signal being transmitted.
Again, this happens between almost every sentence if there is no background music or tape hiss. It also happens when listening to some talk radio programs I've listed to. To be clear, it's not [just] between tracks. I also turned off the options to fade in and out.
I am unable to enjoy audio books from any wireless headset or speaker.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 AT&T (d2att), running either stock 4.0.4 or 4.4.2 or CM12.1 nightlies.

Audio silence is actually not silence on device's view of point. While playing an audio stream and there is no sound, player actually sends series of silent packets. It means bluetooth speaker is still receiving packets even though it does not produce any sound.
Anyway, would you send more information to reproduce this issue on my side?
1. Sample video clip that can produce this issue.
2. Model name of your bluetooth speaker.
Hello everyone im having issues when using Upscaler. The issue is when playing musing sometimes im getting a strange sound only lasting for milisecond.
Im able to reproduce it in poweramp where you can click on track line to play from any specific part of the song.
Not sure if this is the same problem or not, but i have a crackling sound.
It happens with both pocket casts and google play music. Everything will be fine, then a new podcast or song will start and all of a sudden the speaker turns to garbage, horrible crackling sound. If i plug in headphones and toggle the upscaler on and off, then unplug my headphones, the speaker works fine again.
I have to do this every couple of days. Anyone have that issue as well?
For me the issue was caused by having Adapt Sound enabled (which is simply adaptive EQ) & UHQ at the same time.
UHQ amplifies the harsher frequencies already amplified by Adapt Sound. For music, it's not a problem. I do, however, have to disable both for podcasts etc...
