Anyone else having audio problems while listening to music on headphones? Seemed to start with this latest build. Doesn't happen a lot, but it sure is annoying when it does happen. Kind of a pop or hiccup in audio. Running PowerAmp.
Thanks

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
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 installed Tweak 2.0 coming from stock and had serious issues with audio. I re-flashed wiping data and the problems still persisted. I am getting audio skips when listening to music and I also had bad high pitched screeching noises. The audio was just plain "flat".
I flashed back to Eclipse with AOSP apps and the music was back to crystal clear with no skipping at all and the music was back to the "full" sound I was used to. I listen to a lot of Pandora in the car as I travel frequently. I also have the voodoo sound plus app to correct the low audio gain common with Samsung phones.
I get better battery life on Tweak and would like to stay on Tweak but can not live with the audio issues I was having. Does the audio get processed by the ROM or Kernal? I am using stock kernal for both.
I can not figure out what the problem is with Tweak Rom.
You don't have dsp manager ruining as well do you. I had to uninstall it when I can from eclipse to tweaked because audio issues.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
When I went to Tweak, it was a fresh install. DSP manager is included with Elclipse ROM, not Tweak. It was not even on my phone at the time.
Running Elclipse, I leave DSP manager off (all settings disabled).
Haven't heard of this one before - have you tried just using the same apks as are used in Eclipse? Audio has never been an issue, though I haven't used much beyond the play music and pandora apps myself.
Another thought - have you tried it with and without voodoo sound plus app being installed?
Hey Dwith,
No, I have not tried just the Eclipse Apps, I would not know where to start. In regards to the voodoo sound app, I can not listen to audio with my phone without it. It does not put out the correct audio output or dynamic range. The sound level is just too low without voodoo.
One would probably not notice if they are connecting the phone to a boombox or something small but when you connect it to an aplified home theater system or an aftermarket car audio system the difference between voodoo and non voodoo with the droid charge is like night and day.
I am pretty new to flashing ROM's and such so I am sorry if I can't troubleshoot this more. I was hoping maybe I was not the only one with this problem and others would chime in.
I really like Tweak but I can live with Eclipse too. They are both great ROMS.
Hello guys,
I have One S from Tmobile. I use Bluetooth to stream music to my car. My problem is there's a crackling sound in background while the music is playing. When I was unrooted, completely stock using ICS, I still had this problem but the crackling was much more toned down and didn't really interfere with the song. Now, I'm rooted and flashed Trickdroid 9.0 (Jellybean) and the crackling sound is unbearable. The music is impossible to hear now. I noticed this with all Jellybean Sense-based ROMs. It happened with Viper ROM as well. Then, I tried Baked Blackbean and the crackling sound is gone. When I go back to any Sense ROMs, the sound is back.
Now, when I'm calling via Bluetooth, there is absolutely no crackling sound. As soon as I play a song, the crackling sound is back.
Do any of you experience this? I really want to use Sense ROM, but I constantly use Bluetooth to stream music so the crackling sound is a deal breaker so I'd really appreciate your help.
Thank you for reading
Bump! Looks like nobody else has this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
I listen to music from my N5 a lot.
Before I got my N5, I used PowerAmp. This is not possible anymore, because certain audio glitches happen every roughly 5 mins (sometimes more/less often). The audio glitches can best be described as a short sound (not longer then half a second) that is a mix of a pop and some sort of electrical noise, IN the headset. Basically, very difficult to describe but incredibly annoying nonetheless.
Anyhow, PowerAmp is not the only player that has this audio glitch. N7 Player has the exact same problem. Oddly enough, both Google Play Music and Rocket Player does not have this issue what so ever. I've only tested these four players, but as stated two of them has this issue.
Does anyone know why this happens? And even better, does anyone know of a possible fix?
What I know the problem is not:
A problem with the audio file itself. I can experience the glitch, rewind a few seconds and it's not there when I listen again. Also using Winamp on my desktop has 0 audio glitches.
A problem with the headset. Tried this on my SoundMagic E30's and Razer Tiamat 2.2, both get it.
A problem with the "OK Google" hotword detection, turning this off did nothing. (Suggestion from PowerAmp bug forums)
A problem with the kernel/ROM. I've experienced this with PA, PA+ElementalX, SlimKat and Slimkat+ElementalX. Also tried Franco and Linaro at some point. (All based on AOSP, so maybe it's a problem with that, I dunno)
