When listening to music in the stock player, it occasionally sort of freezes and gives a scratching/grinding sound.
I'm currently running IceColdSandwich. I also had it with Reaper and a little with Fallout (didn't run fallout for long).
I've had it both with headphones and with the 3.5mm jack in the car. Not sure if it happens with the speaker, don't listen to music with it much.
It happens with various tracks, and not in the same places. It's generally when I'm not doing anything on the phone (e.g driving), but has happened other times.
Is it the cpu hitting 100%? RAM shortage? Errors in reading the SD card?

Hello,
I am a proud owner of a couple Android Phones since the HTC G1, the HTC Magic and so goes on.
Now I was very excited to get the Nexus S, but on the first day of use, after making all the updates to 2.3.2 and installing all my usual apps, I noticed a crackling sound when hearing music from the speakers.
I can not find the reason of this but would like to know if someone had a problem similar to mine, and if yes, if it was possible to solve it.
There are some facts about this crackling noise that I point as follow:
- The crackling sound is not present all the times. The phone works well when playing shorts sounds like ringtones and notifications. I can hear everything crystal clear;
- When I start to hear a song (tried many different players, all the same problem), or when I am playing a game that uses constant music or sound effects, the crackling sound starts after some minutes of perfect sound (usually between 01:00 and 01:30 of good playing);
- It seems like a irregular white noise, like playing a corrupted MP3 file, that gets in the middle of the media;
- It beguns with a low volume compared to the media and gets louder as time passes, until it gets more frequent and as louder as the music playing;
- At first I thought of a broken speaker, and checked the headphones, but the crackling sound appears when listening music on both headphones and external speakers;
- Then I noticed the crackling sound appears on long voice calls too.
Well... I thought it could be something related to the software, so tried the OEM recovery process (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset), but it was not sucessfull.
[Q] Does anyone had a problem like mine?
[Q] Could someone point what could be the cause of it or a possible solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I noticed the same thing while listening to Pandora. Not sure what's going on. I'm on Modaco and don't know if its something in there or not.
I hear the noise after about 30 minutes of pandora.
I'm having the same issue running Modaco while listening to music via Spotify.
Just got back to the stock ROM, I'll see if it's any better and keep you guys posted.
I can now confirm that stock ROM is not affected by this issue.

My Charge and Poweramp do not get along for some reason. When I'm playing music, aside from it just generally not sounding as good as it should, I get portions of the songs where it skips, stutters, sounds like its having buffering problems. I've tried changing the buffer size to no avail.
Running stock ROM with PBNJ 8-7-11. Could it be the Twitter app again?
Mite be the charger causing the problem sound , like the same problem I have when I plug in my laptop charger while playing music usual it does this when the charger isn't all the way in or hanging out could be some sorta voltage problem wit you charger probably ?

Have you tried any other players at all to see if you have this problem?
Try either winamp or ubermusic. Personally I think uber music is one of the best new music players out there. (Except it does not have the equalizer like poweramp.)
I have been encountering this weird bug for the past few months across many different ROMs. When I walk to and from school, I'm usually listening to podcasts through my Meelectronics SP51P earbuds. After about 5-15 minutes of walking, I notice my podcast skipping forward. Sometimes, the currently-playing podcast will even change to a completely different podcast. Less frequently, my music player will begin playing music during the freak out.
Sometimes it stops after removing my headphones and blowing into the headphone jack, though the problem will start again about half the time.
I was using Google Listen for a while and just thought the program was crap, so I purchased Pocket Casts though I still had the problem. I have no idea what could be causing this...
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)
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...
