Not sure how to exactly describe the sound but I randomly get a ear piercing zapping noise while listening through earphones or connected to aux wire in the car. After it happens the volume gets lower and I have to pull out the wires and then restart the song. Anyone else experience this?
Fyi my setup is latest synergy r147. But it also happened since I had r125.
Maybe its just hardware related.
this is only happening in poweramp and not the stock player.

Not necessarily. It could be that your audio cable is damaged or there is a grounding loop if you're charging it as well

poweramp seems to be the problem
I tried playing the same files on the stock player but never got the squealing noise. and if i unplug it it still squeals. and it happens when it is cold outside. pls help i cannot figure it out. seems like poweramp is the problem so i deleted poweramp and reinstalled it. and only restored data from TIBU. and after a while the noise comes back. i don't know what to do

It's the file format themselves then. Which file formats do you notice cause the squeaking? For me, I noticed that wma and m4a files cause constant squeaking in PowerAmp whereas mp3's work fine. I have zero issues playing those same audio files in the stock player. Basically, any music files that I placed on my phone from Windows Media Player and iTunes cause music popping/cracking unless using the stock music player.

It's ridiculous that those two file formats cause issues for me. The worst part is I have those same exact files on my HTC Droid Incredible and have absolutely no issues. It was something I noticed immediately once I received my GSIII in July but previously had no issues with. Months ago I sent an email to the PowerAmp dev to inquire about this and they told me it was an issue with Samsung's firmware not their app. It seems like Samsung sabotaged music file compatibility with third party apps. I still love PowerAmp though.

I've been having the same problem. Whether its my ear phones, AV cable in the car or, at work it does it. Even on different apps (native music player, play music, and podcast app). I have an otter box so my ports are good and clean and no water damage. No idea why it happens but I've got a replacement on the way for an unrelated reason. So hopefully it won't do it too.

Fwiw I think I found the problem....it was a low voltage problem. When my voltages for kernel settings were tweaked to be lower I would immediately get the zapping sounds. Can't say what the levels were but anything I setup away from stock...it happened. Hope this helps anyone.

I've tried the stop music app and player pro. Whenever I'm listening to it myself the music is fine but when I plug my headphones in or it in the car the songs will skip turn off the apps will just turn off and on again. I don't think its the headphone Jack because it works and whenever it doesn't skip the music plays fine :/ any ideas?

I'm running absolution 3.6. I couldn't tell you if this happened before I rooted because I bought it used and just recently put music on my phone and haven't really used headphone but last few days when I plugged it into a car Jack it started acting up. It will skip sings it will skip artist and it will just stop playing overall but it doesn't happen all the time I'd say 3/5 times.

Well if your using abso (yeah I'm on the team over here) then you one of the first to report such an issue that I know of. If you wouldn't mine, please repost in the Absolution Q&A and we can get more minds on this.
Me personally on abso I have used power amp (my fav), stock player, several others, and Google music. It all works perfectly.

Okay I'm on the app ill try to navigate over to there but I wouldn't have thought this as a rom issue but who knows ill try out power amp as well. I am just unsure bc if its a hardware issue then a sensor must be off because just playing through the speakers I don't have problems... ill try Pandora radio today in the car and if it is still acting up ill take it to the Q&A thanks again man

The problem has something to do with your headphones. Jacks can be loose and the phone really doesn't like headphones that doesn't have the extra band on the plug for the mic.
My 2 suggestions are to either use headphones with a mic or install "Headset Blocker" by Roadkill from the Market. It is free and will block those signals telling your music to fast forward or skip to the next track.
I will take a look onto that... I am useing skullcandies and know its not them Haha but the have the second band I will try the app and report back

Well they don't have a mic do they? No you don't have the separate band for a mic.
Sorry about that I misread you saying extra band for a Mic -.- my apologies no they don't have a mic and neither does the male to male cable that I use in the car.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Whether it is a software or a hardware issue, it has always been a issue with the inspire and many other phones.
It is the mic band on your headset plug that is used to switch tracks or fast-forward songs on your phone. When using earphones that connection is now bridged with the ground connection already. Although the phone is supposed to detect headset/ headphones it does it poorly sometimes. So it could be the poor software or simple static bounces due to a loose jack that is causing this to happen.
Using headphones with a mic will isolate this connection and should stop the problem. You could pick up a mic adapter from ebay or any electronics shop that should do the trick too. Or simply use that app mentioned and it will turn the ability off to switch tracks or fast-forward. Or you could use a different music app that doesn't support that feature.
Well I tried it earlier with my headphones and didn't have a problem I also used car mode then went to my music when I was in the car yesterday and it worked so ill just keep the app mentioned always on thank-you guys so much

Only certain songs with a particular frequency of mid bass cause just my right channel to have a "bwop" sound on the beat for that particular frequency instead of completely clean sound like I get on the left channel.
I have no dsp settings enabled. This happens in Pandora and PlayerPro, with headphones and through the headphone jack to my car stereo aux. The problem exists at any volume.
I'm running a stable release of cm9 meant for my att skyrocket.
** this even used to happen on my old captivate w/cm7!!** (but on both channels)
I know this sounds like nitpicking but I play all my music through my car stereo and this "bwop" sound makes it sound like I'm blowing a speaker and I'm an audiophile and it kills me to hear something like this when I know there should be something I can do to fix it.
I often listen to electro genre and it happens to use this frequency a lot more often. An example today was Wolfgang Gartner - Montezuma.
I would love any help or ideas

Wondering...
Has this issue always plagued you on cm9 on the skyrocket? Or after a certain update?
It would be strange to say it's ROM related because it happened to you on cm7 and cm9, AND on different devices.. But, have you tried a different ROM on your skyrocket? Same results?
Have you had your hearing checked lately? Lol jk jk..
Seems like an isolated issue. (that I've herd of)
Only other thing I could think of was the peripheral that is playing the sound. Is there other headphones, or another vehicle to test on?
It would bug me.. I have a blown speaker in my car (bad wiring) So I haven't listened to music in it for months.
It's always been on the only rom I've run on this. I'm going to try my girlfriends S3 and see what happens..

I've got one. When I use Google play music using tbe headphone jack, the first song i play works fine. (meaning it plays through whatever i have it plugged into, i. e., headphones, car speakers) But as soon as the next song comes on it bypasses the jack and plays out the phone's speakers. Im running stock rooted K3. only happens on that app. ive uninstalled and reinstalled. ive done a hard reset. Any ideas? thanks much. Oh yeah, when the second song plays through the speakers if I pause and play it then goes through the jack.

Unfortunately this has been a bug since the first Jelly Bean leak.
You can try enabling "Audio Output Mode" in Settings > Accessories, but I've not personally tried that. I only heard of it as a suggestion.
You could do what I did and put all your music on your phone and use PowerAMP. I know its kind of silly that simple audio output doesn't work but that's the way it is. You could also switch to an AOSP ROM to correct it.

Okay so I'm completely stumped at this problem. I plug in headphones, aux cords and my headphone icon becomes active, but when using music player or gallery video it acts as if headphones are being unplugged and plugged back in. Youtube works just fine and anything played through browser. I'm really at a loss here. I'm running 4.2.2 on a Chinese clone note 3. Any suggestions or help is appreciated!
Have you tried using a third party music player suck as Poweramp or Rocket Player? Do they have the same outcome?
I tried overplayed with the same outcome. I'm gonna download Pandora and see what happens with that. I just can't understand why youtube works fine.

I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.
I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?
FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.
