What I observe is the entire system halting for about 0.8 seconds: video does not progress, sound cuts out, display cuts out; it's as if the whole system is flash frozen for one second. I observe this on the stock rom (4.2.2 august) a custom rom (4.2.2 finless october) and (pic)Ubuntu (4.5). Could this be a power supply (PSU) issue? I've used the stock PSU but heard sometimes those are not enough, that 3Amp is recommended. I'll try to dig up another 2Amp and see if I can also get a 3Amp. Anyone experience these symptoms? (Yes, I've been searching) Thanks for reading!
EDIT
So the display seems to be the only thing cutting out. Processing does continue, and I think audio cuts out because it's running through the HDMI. Yup, just tried USB audio and it keeps going just fine. I'm going to RMA since on one else seems to have this problem.

So far I've tried both TnT Lite and the VEGAn roms and by far I prefer the VEGAn rom. My only issue is every once in a while, usually when something uses audio (movie, music or even a typing sound) I get a static/hissing/sounds like your TV is on a channel that doesn't have anything on it sound.it goes away after a couple seconds, but it's at full volume, doesn't matter of the audio is turned all the way down and will do it again if I do anything. I've tried the add and remove headphones, but it doesn't work. I've wiped and reinstalled the ROM, but it always comes back. The hissing/static sound happens on either the headphones or the speakers. Audio will work again when I reboot the unit but only for a little while. Any solutions?
There's another thread about a similar issue. 5 or 6 people responded that they get a crackle or pop every now and again. I get it also. One guy had it with the stock ROM. Another guy gets it through headphones when jogging.
No solution posted that I can find.
Thanks for the info. I guess it's either a hardware issue or an incompatibility between android and the driver.
I'm getting constant speaker hiss through the headphone jack, even when nothing is playing and when the display is off. Only exception is if the tablet is fully powered off. I'm flashed to VEGAn right now, but was getting the same hiss with TnT Lite. Didn't leave the stock ROM on long enough to know if it's happening there, too.
I get the same problem with some low volume hiss via headphone jack. Only happens when devices is in "sleep" -- not when powered off...
Sounds like this ROM (Vegan 5.1) leaves the the jack powered when in sleep...
My phone had the same problem until the ROM it was based on got fixed (it's running a CyanogenMod derivative)
It may be fixed in the CM7 builds -- so given that the next Vegan will incorporate some CM code as well, I'm hoping it will be fixed soon...
It has to be draining the battery if it is true that the jack is powered when in sleep...
So i got my eeepad and its great but i find video streaming a little slow.
I am using emit and love it, streams great on my Galaxy Nexus phone and my dad's Samsung Galaxy tablet but on my eeepad i get some issues with stream quality. The high quality setting for dual core devices is a little laggy, but otherwise good quality. I tried lowering the settings but the lagginess continued throughout all the profiles, just with a lower video quality.
Speedtest.net on the devices show similar results so i'm not sure it's that and its all running on a n network so i don't think i should have trouble streaming video.
I was wondering if this was an issue or if anyone knew a fix to stop the lag.
I have broken my charger so battery has been low (<20%) could this be the issue? A new one is on it's way anyway.
What version of FW are you on, ICS for the transformers is having issues with flash/video playback and wifi. It could be either of those things.
You could stop it by rooting and installing a custom kernel with the fixes
I'm on 4.03 at the moment. But that sounds exactly like my problem. Thanks for the info.
As mentioned I am missing the charger for now so i will look into that as soon as it arrives.
You can try the PERI one-click root tool in my signature for an easy route, that's about the only thing you can do as of now though, untill ASUS fully fixes their firmware.
I'll be waiting a bit anyway. As mentioned no current charger but I will keep it in mind when the time comes
I have had a CS918 box for around 4 months and it largely works very well, however every now and then (once an hour maybe, sometimes two or three times in the space of a minute though) the screen goes blank for a second or so, the sound also cuts out for this period of time also.
I was using stock firmware, recently updated to a 1080p kernel and custom rom, but this still persists.
I've changed the HDMI cable and the slot it's in also.
I'm leaning towards a dodgy power supply - has anyone else had this issue?
Many thanks

I've just bought one of these boxes and am having this issue. I've tried searching everywhere for other people having this problem and this is the only post I've found.
Has a fix ever been discovered?

I also have an issue with mine, and the answer seems interesting and related.
With mine the image flickers sometimes, and needs to be reset, other times the audio will just go quite for 2-3 seconds.
It very well could be a power supply issue, as it seems to be slightly loose, but the interesting thing is that the video keeps playing perfectly when the sound goes out.
It does the sound thing much more often now that it did before too.
got the same audio issue ... could it be the hdmi cable?
I have the cs918+ and have the same blackout issue I update the firmware frequently but still happens...

Hello~ >.< So I'm not really sure how to explain this problem much as I don't understand its origin, but I have been having a problem with my sound and video.
I don't really use my tablet for much except watching shows from apps like Viki, Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube, and I don't travel with it. Starting yesterday my sound began to act very weird... I had been on Netflix when I first noticed it and for some reason all of the voices were unusually deep. I had turned on my computer to check if it was just that video, but on my computer everything was normal. I tried to restart my tablet and then a new problem came up. Not only were my videos now producing no sound, but they also we're playing VERY fast.. what was supposed to be a 15 second ad became 2 according to the timer. Thinking again that it may just be Netflix, I tried other apps like Hulu for example. With Hulu, the video wouldn't really load at all. It played the ad as mentioned above, but when the video came up, the screen remained black and silent before telling me that Hulu has crashed. I tried this a few times, but no luck. Thinking over the possibility that the speaker blew out, I tried using three different types of headphones, and tried all of my apps again, but still nothing. I previously had looked up this problem, but I could not find a matching thread so I decided that whatever happened could be fixed by a factory reset, which I tried, but to just my luck, it did nothing.. again. Hoping it would just go away, I also tried leaving it alone for awhile x.x which was almost a given to not work... and now I'm completely out of ideas :/ Has anyone else experienced an issue like this and would know any way I could fix it? If possibly I'd really like to know how as I do not have the budget to buy a new one at the moment >.< If any additional information is required, please feel free to ask.
Edit: Also forgot to mention that my notification sound has stopped too >_< All volume is set a bit over half..

Too much info. Lol.
If no rooting or flashing or custom roms to blame or point a finger to it could be your tablet is possessed! Just kidding. ¿
Sounds like it could be a physical hardware issue, processor, sound chip, motherboard, who knows.
It would not hurt to root and flash stock firmware and see if that fixes it (not if its hardware ) but may be worth a chance.
You could open up the tab and look for something loose or disconnected.
Only positive feedback may come from someone that had the exact same issue you have, it may be a long time before that happens.

Didnt see much in the way of these 2 issues I am seeing. Figured I would ask.
1. Using HDMI out in my hotel room with an Amazon basics cable and LG TV. About 50% of the time there is random graininess and what looks like static. Generally I have to reboot tablet until it goes away. Don't have another cable to test but in the past Amazon cables have been reliable. This is generally when using KODI if that matters but I'm almost certain I've seen it in other apps as well.
2. At random times when both plugged and unplugged I can tap the display to bring up the softkeys, but cannot touch them. I do have a glass SP installed but never really had issues. This seems to be more recent. I hate to take off the SP to find out the issue is still there. Other times there is no issue and everything works fine. I installed screen touch app to test but generally don't see the issue when I have it running.
Any info on either of these is appreciated. As of now no longer rooted, completely stock (since taking MM OTA after going back to stock). I will send it in if needed, but figured I would ask. Thanks.
