anyone has this problem? what could be the problem?
thanks in advance.
I am playing flac and everything is playing well, it must be your app. I am using poweramp

im using googleplay, do you think its the app?
Since you are using FLAC are you possibly using a USB DAC as well?
no im not. however now im using poweramp, and its going very well! no skipping!! tank you slickandroid03 for the advise and help! tomorrow i'll do a better report

My guess is that you need to check how the auido was encoded in the files you are playing. Others here are probably more expert than I am, but the stock video player doesn't seem to like any kind of multi-channel audio, just straight stereo. Rock Player seems to read multichannel but I haven't had much luck with it either. So I have re-ripped my files with only stereo and that has worked.
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.

did you just restore same data for poweramp and play like it was before?hmm maybe i should get 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.

Anybody have this issue? At first, I thought it was just a Google music issue where songs either stop half way through, or skip. But, it happens on most streaming apps such as slacker radio, fusion player... Anybody else? I wonder if it is a KitKat bug?

Very annoying, only Pandora seems to be working okay. Even spotify has issues, but that's a whole different story, mostly with album art

Hmm interesting, well just have to wait and see if the developers can fix it. I've already contacted the developer of player pro and told him about the problem. You might do the same for your favorite music apps

It is due to a regression in flac decoding on KitKat: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62562
Use an other kernel is ok

is the phone in your pocket when it starts skipping? like could it be the proximity or g sensor?
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.

Never mind on YouTube working I guess it was just acting right temporarily. I played a full song on YouTube earlier but now I get about 5 seconds or so on all sound through head phone jack.

What kinds of glitches are you having with Poweramp? I've never had any issues with it.
Yeah, no glitches / issues for me as well! Runs smoothly..
If you want a change, you could try Musixmatch or rocket player..

its like from now, if I add music files, more specifically, .aac files, the time of the track has seemed to double, yet starts at the middle of that doubled time, so it plays normally. why am I looking for a new player is because it actually cuts the track at the end too early, and I want to actually listen to entire track.

I don't know about the doubling thing, but the end of the track being cut off is probably because of your crossfade / gapless settings which can be adjusted.
Personally, the only music app I ever used was Poweramp until I switched to Google Music All Access when I bought this phone. I haven't looked back.

what I meant was that it actually cuts off 2-5 seconds before the track ends. I've used the Poweramp forum to discuss my problems with little help.

Doubling of track time is a problem with the specific music file and not with PowerAmp..
Even I have faced this a few times but it was because of the bad file... I re-downloaded the file from a different source and everything was ok!
Seriously, there isn't any music app which I've found better than PowerAmp and I've been using it since ages!

My advice is Walkman Player...but you need root...the clearaudio equalizer is something that is amazing! I really love it!
You can try Shuttle+ found on the Play Store.
