so I don't use the stock music player but ever since I got the phone while using power amp to play music something it makes a weird ERHGHGHGHGH noise like a CD skipping. I tested it out on stock music player and it never happens. a few times poweramp couldn't find my music (located on SD card).
Could this be related to power amp or maybe an SD card issue? I'll listen to stock music and see if i have it happen but I haven't had it yet.
It could be power amp pulling for more ram than you have available. Try clearing your unused processes and see if it helps. If not it could be a setting on power amp. Also, are you running any kernels/ROMs? And I don't think power amp has been updated for jelly bean yet. I don't k ow for sure but i could be wrong.

I think I'm good on ram but I could see that being possible. I'm running SYnerygROM r68 with leankernal 0.7 but I've had it happen on stock also. I also have the original root method so Idk if that makes a difference
Try clearing the data from it and reinstalling see if it works.

Try increasing the size of the audio buffer:
Poweramp settings -> Audio -> Advanced tweaks -> Audio buffer size
Also, have you noticed any trends with this sound? And have you skipped backwards to see if the sound plays again? I've noticed that songs downloaded via torrents on a cellular data connection often have glitches

thank you, this actually seemed to work. at least after a few songs of testing. No, it's not an issue with the songs (totally random, works fine on google music/stock player)
Hi,
Firstly I'm an audiophile. I listen to my music a lot. Usually will listen to music in my car via connecting the aux cable to my phone. (I'm poor so no money for a usb media player ) Using poweramp, and aux cable connection/disconnection will play/pause, skip tracks using volume keys.
Previously was using S3 with a custom CM rom that works perfect. So felling in love with the stock android/AOSP/CM features and looks. I decided to get a OPO and sold off my S3. Sadly I'm a little bit disappointed.
There is a serious bug in OPO whereby when you connect the aux cable to the phone, it will continue playing the song like for a few seconds, and will either
1) in certain roms, will come out the annoying "say call, followed by a name or a number" thingy (voice dialing). And then music will stop, in the end need to manually resume the music.
2) in some roms, it will come out the ok google thingy
3) I tried disabling all the google stuff, even if everything is gone, it will STILL resume playing songs for a few seconds once connect the aux cable, and will just STOP without any interruptions.
Believe me. I've tried MANY MANY roms. From CM12.1s/OxygenOS/Exodus/Sultan CM12.1/Exodus/DU/SlimLP/AICP/Resurrection Remix/BlissPop blablabla with different kernels such as Boeffla/AK IT STILL ALL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.
Please help. Thanks all.
EDIT 28TH OCTOBER 2015
I have LITERALLY tried ALL custom roms of OPO, all has this problem. But finally narrowed the issue down. It is due to raising the volume to the max, after the SAFE VOLUME warning. If its below the safe volume, it will run fine. Someone, for the love of god, help me. I love my OPO but it can't even do something so simple *facepalm*
There is a loose contact in your cable...Try a different one...
No problems here with my opo while listening to the music in my car via., aux cable....

Do you only use aux or also using headsets? I've used several cables to no avail.
Also,
which rom & kernel are you using?

Hi sir,
I'm a big fan of your rom. Unfortunately I've used your build days ago and reflashed it today the problem is still there.
If I just flash your rom without with/without gapps (I use TK stock gapps):
1) Headsets no problems as well (even if max volume, FYI I use original Samsung/Asus headsets)
2) Aux cable has the same problem like ALL roms. It has no problem auto-playing if its below the safe volume warning. If you raise it above the safe volume warning, it will auto-play for a second and stop without any reason. Let's say I put my aux volume to max, it will revert back to the headsets volume (which is very low) also after the songs are stopped. Then I would have to increase the volume back to maximum and manually resume the song. (FYI, I use Gator AUX cable in my car, http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUX-CABLE-M...hash=item4ace2c5a03:m:m66QamlvCxsYb6MBL-KYlLA )
EDIT 30 OCTOBER 2015
For AUX cable, it will stop after a few seconds no matter what, even if its below the safe volume warning. Have tested it out the whole day to confirm the trend/pattern!
3) Your rom doesn't have the annoying "OK Google & Voice Dialler" thingy popping out.
Really appreciate you taking a look at my problem. Hope that the problem can be fixed and I can fall in love with my bacon again :crying:
Can't believe I've flashed all roms....and all has the same problem. Thank you once again

Hi i also use aux cable in my BT audio car (just because BT have more hissing and crappy high tones) and have this problem as well but...
1) i dont like when music starts just when i put cable in...
2) in your situation i would try some tasker scripts which start playing music after some time since cable is plugged. Lets say 6 seconds .. I think it may solve your problem until allmighty codewizard @Sultanxda find solution for our crappy hw-sw problem..
I saw this topic was many times mentioned in his ROM thread.
Regards and good luck finding solution

Do you use tasker?? Even if it works, its still very inconvenient as I have to manually set the volume to maximum again (or else would be very soft in the car).
Sincerely hope that Lord SultanXda can solve this problem, would be eternally thankful! :crying: I've brought this up with several developers but none of them paid any atttention to this problem in our beloved Bacon. That's why I'm so happy that even SultanXda even replied in this thread.
added new information above
If your issue is still not fixed then its most likely the aux cables
Yes this issue is rare it happens with me too but only with certain cables
Its because of the depth and the size of the cable that causes higher output to confuse the kernel into thinking that the mic for Google now is activated
I've seen a workaround in some kernel somewhere but it won't completely solve your issue.
The only possibility (as of now) is to get a slimmer ,3 layered 3.5 mm aux cable

I've bought more than 5 aux cables, but all still has the same issue. I don't think its due to the cables. In Sultan XDA's rom & certain roms, the mic/ok google does not come out and was fixed by him. But just randomly stops and does not resume back.

try other players
hey there from a fellow audiophile (at least while driving) i am on sultan's rom 27th-oct build. Also on rocket player, i used to have a problem with the headset buttons (xiaomi pistons) prior to he 27th-oct build. but from that afterwards, everything is perfect.
about the aux cable thing, i've always had two music apps (playerpro since earlier builds of android. and rocket player) but recently (on opo) removed the playerpro (on a cm11s build, cause it was a battery hog compared to rocketplayer).
Anyway, rocket player has all the features you want (autoplay on connection, enabled through settings) and track seek through long pressing the volume rocker buttons, yet adjusting volume when short pressing rocker buttons (Vol +/-). and none of the issues you're facing, only a couple of times (on sultan's rom) in case the aux cable isn't connected right! (as in half in or so bu not all into the audio socket)
i tried to recreate/induce what you're experiencing with rocketplayer, and it happened once only, when flicking the aux cable and turning it around while remaining in the socket.
i can't try poweramp, since i'm not on wifi, and not that good coverage over here. so you might give rocket player, or other music apps a shot
i hope this pose isn't considered an advertisement or sth :silly: :silly:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried the two players in Sultan Cm12.1 latest stable.
For PlayerPro, exactly same like Poweramp. Headsets no problem as usual. Aux will stop immediately after 1-2seconds, volume will revert back to headsets volume.
For Rocket Player, its a nice player , but:
In order for it to autoplay, the app must be turned on (if clear all recent apps it doesn'twork). And if you notice, even tho the auto play works, because if using aux it will stop after 1-2seconds, but the program will turn it on again (that's why there's static). ANd every reboot you gotta turn on the app again. And also, usually aux will have its own last set volume and headsets will also have its. But using Rocket Player, even tho it works, it will only remember the headsets volume. Like all that I mentioned in the first page. Even if I put max volume for aux , when connected after 1-2seconds it will go back to the headsets volume. There's an option to set the default volume level in Rocket Player, but which means only one default volume.
Really frustrated and disappointed with our phone. Even my 5 year old lenovo phone with 512mb of ram can do this thing properly.
I just tried my AUX cable along with my 3 headsets. One of the headsets is broken (loose cable contacts), and that's the only one that gives bad sound and pops up the voice search. Try another cable, or try the same cable on another stereo, I'm pretty sure it's those two. BTW I'm using jgcaap's CM12.1 with AK kernel.

I did try clearing it from both,recents and running apps/services but it still works flawlessly... Maybe the problem is on your end... And uf you've got time, backup through twrp, copy all your data (including twrp backup, music, photos etc.) to a computer. Flash stock rom THROUGH fastboot mode, either manually with commands through cmd. Exe or using bacon toolkit. Then flash sultan's rom, or your rom of choice. Which in my opinion is the cleanest flash anyone can get. Since it completely erases everything.. That's how i do it with anyrom, if planning to move to it. After trying it with a normal clean flash (wiping system, data, cache, dalvik). Just to be sure that there are no residuals what so ever
Other than that... Mmmh maybe you played with the permissions of rocketplayer? Or if you've got an app that does (any task killer, greenify, powernap etc. )

I've used the jgcaap's CM12.1 along with AK kernel, still has same problem. Like I mentioned before - headsets has no problems. Only when you use AUX via your PC speakers / car cd player. Are you sure you're using the correct cable/setup? THis problem is nothing new, just google the AUX problem with bacon and there's alot of cases will pop-out.

Hi thanks,
I've double tested. Turns out when you first boot up your device, you gotta give it some time like 1-2mins and the auto-play will come out. Like I said before, its a good music app don't get me wrong - but it still doesn't solve the ROOT of the problem.
I use headsets & aux, both have their own default volumes. As in I plugged in headsets, it will have the LAST set volume for headsets. And if I plugged in my AUX, it will have the LAST set volume for AUX. (I put MAX for AUX and minimal for headsets)
If you test it out with the AUX, it will still stop after 1-2seconds, and then the "AUTOPLAY ON CONNECT" feature will appear again and the autoplay will once again resume. If you don't use the default set volume on rocket player, it will keep reverting my AUX volume from max to the minimal volume for headsets.
Hope you understand. Thanks again.

Hi,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8+.
If I try to play music via bluetooth to my speakers, the volume is very very low. The settings are on max and media volume sync can't be enabled.
I tried playing music with my Samsung Galaxy S7Edge and the volume was completely normal and very loud with nothing changed on the speakers.
I also tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/low-bluetooth-volume-car-fix-t3595530 with no result.
My BT speakers: https://www.trust.com/en/product/19367-tytan-2-1-subwoofer-speaker-set-with-bluetooth-black
My S8+:
Android 8.0.0
Stock
Knox triggered: 0
Never did any manual flash. Always just updated it.
Are there common reasons for this or good fixes? Or is it just a software bug?
Thanks for your time!

It's oreo, they messed up the volume and everything audio on oreo, no fix right now I'm going to make a topic to see if it's possible to downgrade back to nougat.
Not just an Oreo thing. I've had the same issue with the Bluetooth in my car as well.

it's amazing that you can't tell the difference at all, it's very noticeable, i am unable to hear anything when i receive calls in my headset either, this latest oreo update is broken.
found something online, it's something to do with media sync, try connecting the bluethooth device, then go to settings, bluethooth, 3 dots and select media sync, select on and make sure both phone and headphones volume is max and restart phone, anyone notice any difference? i'm testing it now.

Yea that was the first thing I have read about when I started searching for it. I wanted to try it, but it seems like my BT speakers are not compatible with it. It says that it isnt compatible when I try to activate it. Not sure if there is a workaround to make it working.
I don't think this is an Oreo specific problem. I've encountered this bug since marshmallow.
The only way I could get it to reset the volume back to max was when I used crdroid.
The volume would get set very low. I could open the global equaliser via Google music. And the volume would not change.
I would then access the global eq via another music player. Just make a tiny change to any parameters and boom. The volume is now set to the correct level again.
The moment I would use Google music to access the eq the volume would jump down again
My tablet is now on naosp and the volume issue has popped back up.
Doing the same procedure will reset the volume correctly.
It is rather annoying to have to do this.
I don't know what is causing the problem but it looks like the global eq ultimately effects the output volume disabled or enabled

No difference at all with three different devices I connect to. I do have media sync disabled already. Hopefully you get it figured out.
I've done a test on my S8+ now.
I downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it with a complete reset of the phone.

After the flash of it the BT issue is gone. This was done yesterday (4/10/2018). I will report back if the BT issue returns OR in like 2 weeks+ if everything is still fine.

do you need root for that though and i never had this issue in nougat, this issue first happened in oreo.
And i have a universal eq setting on a separate app called precise volume which does the same thing.

It dosn't work anyway, still the same, on a good note they have fixed the low volume for incoming calls on my headphones, just the music volume is still crap.
I think my only solution is another set of headphones that support LDAC but they are £300+ lol or to get a Microsoft music player, i have a laptop that even beats what the old volume was on nougat so maybe a Microsoft music player would be a good idea, gonna look around.
It was good while it lasted i guess.

I wasn't rooted before but since then have rooted via magisk systemless root. I can still use pay and bank access etc...
I'm using viper4android now and have also disabled the system EQ.
I have just got connects2 for my car last weekend.
On the odd occasion the volume will drop when opening automate(the driving launcher) which is set to launch playmusic on Bluetooth connection.
But as soon as I swipe down the volume jumps back up.

Yeah for sure but be aware you might loose functionality on apps like banking and payments.
I use magisk to hide root so I can still use those functionalities.
Make sure you read into it first.
I've had a replacement connects2 module fitted today and all is going well.
Viper4android my EQ is absolutely amazing in comparison to other EQ and in my case the volume issue has been solved.
Actually it's really loud as I was used to the lower level.
Steps I took.
Unlock bootloader ( wiped my tablet)
Flash magisk
Install magisk manager
Added selinux module via magisk manager
Added viper4android via magisk manager
Disable global EQ
Set selinux to permissive
Install viper4android driver. Prompts when opening the app for the first time.
Reboot
And it's all good.
The bug with AutoMate seems to be tied to my maps speed prompting notification voice.
If it does revert to no EQ, I drag down from the top bar and it's back up again
I hope it works for you. Plus you now have a very awesome EQ as a bonus

Try enabling Developer mode (press Build Number 8 times). Then turn on Disable absolute volume. This de-links the phone volume control from the headset's volume control. Now you should be able to increase volume on both independently.

found something online, it's something to do with media sync, try connecting the bluethooth device, then go to settings, bluethooth, 3 dots and select media sync, select on and make sure both phone and headphones volume is max and restart phone, anyone notice any difference? i'm testing it now.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I had two pair of bluetooth headphones. A Cheap pair with volume control and a fancy pair of JBL Frees with no volume control. I could NOT figure out why sometimes the volume was great when they connected and other times it was VERY LOW all the while the cheap pair sounded great when I turned them up. I was at wits end blaming JBL and Samsung when it was a setting for Bluetooth devices.
Thanks again Huyi. Very glad I found this post.
