My audio has completely stopped working, except for Bluetooth which seems unaffected. Whether it's thru the earpeice, the speaker, or line out, the audio is nothing but static and crackles...and what I can only assume is the emergency tone (very annoying, very loud, rising pitch squeal). If I try to play audio or video, the sound crackles and then the file stops playing. This is both speaker and line out. If I try to listen to Google Voice message, it's nothing but static.
Phone is currently running CleanROM 6, which I just reinstalled fresh after a complete internal wipe hoping that would fix my issue, but it hasn't. Problem originally surfaced while running LiquidSmooth 2.9 and then I restored my CR6 Nandroid which, of course, didn't help either. Baseband has been updated to current version, which was also no help. Again, BT audio is just fine.
Thoughts, ideas, help?!!!
Thanks, Mike
Tried two different kernels, also no change.
Can anyone confirm that Bluetooth audio output does NOT go through the soundboard?
Hello all,
I got My VZW branded M8 on launch day and have been getting used to it and checking 20 times a day to see if a perm root solution has been found or better yet an S-Off method. On to my issue in the past few days I've had some time to listen to some mp3s from an SD card on the M8's stock music app and I have found that there is an audible stutter randomly occurring 3-5 times per song. The same mp3 played in poweramp plays smooth. The same SD card played the same songs smoothly in my DNA. So I'm lead to believe there some issue with the stock music app. I tested with screen timeout disabled, motion gestures disabled and still got the same thing.
Did anyone notice the same issue or is it just my phone.
It sounds like song skipped a beat or someone bumping a CD player, not really a sound but just the timing got out of sync for an instant. The first time I just thought it was a error in mp3 then I picked up that it was happening continually but could not be reproduced by replaying the same section of music. I love poweramp but the stock music player should function correctly on a flagship phone and IMO. I like the HTC stock music app as it lets me stream music from my DLNA server on my network, so I like it to function properly.
Kind Regards,
mc
Maybe try a factory reset since its obviously not a hardware issue if a third party app is working perfectly. Only music player i use is the stock HTC Music app and never had any issues with it across the board. Works perfect here even streaming over BT in the car or BT stereo headsets.
No stuttering here, but i've had tracks reset to start after short inactivity. I listen to audiobooks and had to go use Google Play Music because my chapters kept starting over after pausing them.

I've actually been having this issue but over Bluetooth only but my audio never skips when I have a 3.5mm jack plugged in. I'm getting a new Bluetooth device and I'll report back on my findings.
Have not had this issue with my Verizon M8. I have all my music (about 20gb) on the sd card, and normally play through the 3.5mm jack.
The one thing I did notice is, with my old htc phone, when playing music and a notification came in, it would interrupt the music and play the notification. I liked this because I would know to look at my phone. With this one, there is NO interruption of the music. So I can be in my car for a half hour playing music, and not know of any texts or emails unless I look at the phone. Anyone know a solution?
UPDATE: I tried using another Bluetooth device and the same problem occurred. Also to note, I'm having this issue with the stock music app & PlayerPro. However, if I reboot my phone the problem does not occur and I'm able to play music through my Bluetooth device without stutters.
@mc_365: Trying to see if we have anything in common. When music stutters, are you connected via Bluetooth? By any chance are you rooted & did you freeze any apps? Do you have the problem while connected to a 3.5mm jack?
UPDATE (9:32a PT): I just tried a factory reset & I'm still having the problem. Anybody have any other suggestions?

I'm not rooted and trying to play music through my Camaro bluetooth from Play Music it just constantly skips. I am running on ART and will switch back to dalvik to see if that fixes it. If not, I'm going to exchange my phone or return it all together.
UPDATE:
I switched back to Dalvik and did a factory reset to make sure everything was done properly. Now Google Play Music doesn't skip when I play music through my car. Are any of you on ART runtime by chance?
I just came back from Verizon & exchanged my M8; I'll have to check to see if that helped.

Are you playing music from your SD card or internal memory?

I never messed around with changing Dalvik/ART; I checked and I'm running Dalvik. Are you playing music off your SD card or internal memory over Bluetooth when you're having this problem?
I'm just playing mp3s from SD card on a regular pair of earphones. I think maybe my issue is the HTC decoder just doesn't like the CD rip I was playing, maybe the bitrate or the error handling within the app or something like that. I've played other mp3s now and can't say that this is something that is consistently happening.
I have all my songs on external sd card. I can try streaming Pandora in my car and see if any stuttering If that makes a difference? I did though download a few so to internal storage and played over Bluetooth in my car on the way home without stuttering. Played the same as the songs on my external sd card.
I have an obnoxious stutter on the Netflix app through speakers and headphone jack. Noticed it through play movies today also. Reset did nothing. Sadly it isn't noticeable for it to pass through the replacement check

I get the occasional skip when streaming over bluetooth from my SD card. I'd suspect it has more to do with the I/O read ahead or scheduler than anything. It seems to happen whether or not the screen is on, so I don't think it's a processor hang or anything like that.
I hope this update helps anyone with the same issue. :fingers-crossed:
*knock on wood
I noticed that the skips were less and far between if I was playing music over Bluetooth using the internal memory. So what I did is take another SD card and played music on that. This resulted in no skips that I could tell. Perhaps it might be a defective SD card or bad format so I reformatted the SD card completely (full not quick) and so far I'm having less skips in music. I ordered up the 128 GB SanDisk card & hopefully I won't have any skips using that card.
I'm thinking once we get a permanent root & S-Off we can try putting AOSP on our M8s & see if that eliminates the issue completely. :fingers-crossed:
If anybody else can share any suggestions on what to try, that would be great!

This is the problem I'm experiencing that brought me to this thread. Did you ever find a solution? Both Google Play Music and Stock HTC Music play over the notification. My podcast app, Pocket Casts, appropriately gives focus to notification sounds every time.

In sum, the potential fix is to change the read-ahead buffer from 512 to 1024, and the guy said it worked for several days with no further updates. He happened to be running Viper when he made the changes... apparently it uses the stock kernel. I am running CleanROM with stock kernel, so I just installed trickster and changed my read-ahead buffer to 1024. I'll report back if that makes a difference. There was one follow-up comment that it didn't make a difference in the stock ROM (edit - ahh... from broprah... any update to that?).
FWIW, I have been noticing this issue a lot BUT I only get it when streaming to my BT earbuds (with HTC Music, Google Play Music, and Pocket Casts). This stuttering does not happen when I use wired earbuds or playing over BT in my car. I understand the scenarios are different for everyone, but that's my own situation.

I ended up flashing Viper and I haven't experienced any stuttering since. In poking around, I see that changing the read ahead in the built in system tools only changes the internal read ahead. Further poking revealed that the external read ahead is preset to 4096kb, which could be the solution in the end.

I don't see a differentiation in Trickster. Do you know if that's just a Viper setting?
I was using FauxTool to check and change settings, regardless of kernel.
No such luck with my read ahead change. :/

When I got this device I had installed PA, and so far I had been using that with no issues. Since I heard about 38R's default extra audio stuff I decided to install it. Now, USB audio no longer works. Google music player says "cannot play audio" (flac file) and poweramp (the other player I use) starts then immediately stops if i use default kernel. *IF* I root and install Franco then poweramp can play the music via USB but it still comes out in 44.1Khz/16bit. Can someone tell me what the hell is going on with Cm11S and USB DAC support?

for me it works as it should...
i have 7.1 usb sound card. and OFC i have only on 2 channels. but not skipping flac tracks.
edit: 96khz 24bit listening now via usb and sounds really great.
maybe you have corrupted flac files... or try to flash everything again

You're getting 96/24 on USB really? dang.
Ok I fluked into the solution. I told my music player *not* to use it's own volume settings and so on (PowerAmp has an option for this called 'Direct Volme control') and to completely bypass MusicFX (or any equivalent equaliser). PowerAmp has an option for both ('enable AudioFX' in poweramp to be unchecked). THEN it works with USB audio, it's still a bit wierd the first time you plug it in (i think).
This also means 'Google Music' will not work (which it doesn't) since it has no option to *not* send things via MusicFX. Well, I never had a ROM with built in equaliser, maybe the fact that there is one in CM is causing issues for USB DACs?

you know what?? my poweramp doesnt want to play some flac's with higher qualities even when "direct" is unchecked, but play music does and audiofx built in equaliser works good with play music.
btw how do you checking real bit and freq which is playing by device?

my DAC displays the input it receives and the method (e.g/ usb. 48Khz 16 bit). it doesn't do all (44.1 is missing but gets converted to 48 I guess ?). Real idk, but the device reports it as " this is the digital signal I'm getting". As an example...on my computer I use foobar and have it set to bitperfect mode (no conversions just send signal directly to DAC whatever the bitrate etc)...when I play a cdrip my dac says "48" and "16". if I then switch to my 96khz/24 bit download of dire straits it immediately switches to saying "96" and "24bit" in the little screen on my DAC.

Hi all,
I just got myself a 16GB oneplus one. It is running on Cyanogen OS version 11.0-XNPH05Q.
I got this problem, which hopefully someone has a remedy for it:
During MP3 music playbacks (no matter what MP3 player app I have installed), there is always this audio ''breaks'' in between the song. It's like the music will start to play -->break-->play.
The playback is not very smooth and it's rather irritating.
Anything I can do to remedy this?

Honestly, I would try updating your rom. CM12 fixed a lot of audio issues, and a host of others as well. In any case, a custom rom and kernel would most likely be the easiest fix. Other than that, there's probably a thread somewhere around the OPO forums related to this

Unfortunately, I have tried using CM12 (latest weekly ROM cm-12-20150308-NIGHTLY-bacon), as well as LiquidSmooth ROM 5.0.
However, the problem occurs once the headphone is plugged into the headphone jack. I am getting this audio break from youtube videos, MP3 files in internal memory, etc...
But there aren't any issues with the music playback if I am using wireless bluetooth headphones or if the music is coming out from the phone speaker itself.
I suspect this could be a hardware issue? Maybe with the headphone jack?
Hi guys,
Any remedies on my problem? And by the way, if I downgrade my phone to CM11-33R, this issue of "music glitch" will disappear. Any ROM above CM11-33R will have this issue. This occurs only for music playback through earphones. No issues through the phone loudspeakers.
And another thing is what I found out accidentally:
When this music glitch happened, I just need to play some rock music at max volume, the phone will automatically bring up the google voice search screen. And I just need to close the google voice search and the music glitch will totally go away until the next time i plug in the earphones again.
No matter what i have tried, i.e. Official lollipop, franco kernel, etc... The music glitch is still there
Thanks
As the title say's there is no sound on loud speaker no sound on earphones nor on the speaker for talking. It started today, there was sound this morning and no sound now. It is e2115 with 4.4.4 Kit Kat. Build number is 24.0.B.5.14. I have tried every thing I could find on the internet. Restarting with earphones and without, in safe mode and regular, removing sd card, using music volume eq, playing music in chrome, Walkman (default app), VLC player and in-game music. Phone is rooted (kingroot and terminal hack to change su app to supersu). I haven't done factory reset yet because I don't think it would work. If I were to do it I would be unrooting it too.
To me it looks like software problem because all if the speakers stopped working simultaneously. Also I have tried Sony diagnostics and tests failed.
At best you can hear crack(l)ing (if you glue your ear to speakers (both top and loud)). Walkman registers (pauses) when I unplug earphones (tested two of them).
Ok, so unrooting and factory reset did nothing, but sony pc companion solved it.
It was a software issue so repair with PC Companion (Support Zone -> Under "Phone/Tabled Software Update" click Start -> Repair my phone and follow instructions) fixed it.
Of course all data was wiped so that's a down side.
If anybody knows what caused it and what could fix it in a neater way please share it here.
