Sound "skipping" issue - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got an S6 (Canadian) edition and for some reason, whenever I listen to music it skips.. Just like the old CDs use to do. I can be listening to Spotify "live" or loaded playlist, TuneIN or even music directly on my phone and the problem occurs. I use to be on the stock ROM, because of the issue I switched to a custom ROM and had issues with both version. Anyone else experienced this issue or had clues on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Try a factory reset

[Q] Music Stuttering In Every Player I Try

I have a Galaxy S3 i747 running AOKP 4.2.2. I've tried Google Play Music, Omich Player, Android Music Player, and PowerAmp. Whenever I do anything on my phone while listening to music, it skips for a second or two. By this I mean locking or unlocking it, opening an app, and sometimes doing something within an app. Its really obnoxious and is seriously ruining my enjoyment of this phone. My ROM has an overclock function, so I tried forcing the processor to go to 1.6gHz at all times, but that didn't fix it. It also has an SD card read ahead function, but even setting that as high as 4000kb had no effect. This happens whether there's zero or a dozen apps in the background. Sometimes clearing the apps cache and force closing it followed by restarting the phone helps. Also, sometimes switching to another music player whip fix it for a while before that one starts skipping too.
Is there any solution to this? I've seen other people with this problem but they either never resolve it or the solution that works for them doesn't work for me.
Perhaps
If you have AntiVirus on your mobile phone. Possible that some programs are not compatible

Nope, no antivirus
I know this sounds crazy but try using headphones with a built-in microphone. I'm almost positive that is how I fixed this issue on an older phone that had the same issue.

Anybody figured out why Google Play Music keeps giving random errors on KitKat?

ever since i upgraded to stock kitkat (not via ota, and i have root) my google play music has been giving me unable to play this song errors. i'm down to do a logcat if someone smarter than me is down to read it and try to find a solution. i've noticed it when i'm on wifi and mobile data, while i'm using gps and while i'm not, with personal library songs as well as all-access tracks, and i'm fairly certain it hasn't mattered whether the tracks were on-device or streaming.
has anybody who took the stock kitkat OTA without any root or modifications had this same issue?
has anybody had zero GPM errors since updating to kitkat?
I'm gonna chime in and say I've been having issues too. I'm completely stock. But Play Music usually randomly just stops midsong with an unable to play song error. Haven't been able to figure out what's causing it.

Music stopping?

Anyone else have this issue, music keeps stopping when playing through the headset, sometimes it could happen after 5 mins, others after an hour, happens in all music and podcast apps, hasn't happened with the FM radio yet though.
Used to happen with me. I had my music player greenified and, after some time, it would auto hibernate. Make sure it's not something you're using.

Yes its happening to my moto as well
So seems we have a fault somewhere. I remember this happening with my old Galaxy S2, turns out if cell signal went it turned the music of for some reason, not sure if this is the same problem though

It happens to me too, I think that OS kills the music app when the RAM is almost full.

I've managed to fix it, a factory reset fixed the issue, give it a try.
I'm getting this problem too. It happens with FM radio as well as music playback with Blinkbox, Google Play Music. It never used to happen before the recent KK 4.4.4 update. Before I do a factory reset does anybody have any other suggestions?

Is the new version of Spotify that is the issue, you're not the only one
It's a pain in the ass I'll be showering and all of a sudden Spotify prime kicks off. They need to fix this asap I have been using Google music I forgot I uploaded all my music 17k worth of music. Talk about blast from the past...
This has been an issues from way back. They fix it then suddenly they do it again. I hate it ...

Popping/crackling sound when playing media

Dear all!
Quick question for you guys.
I had my Galaxy S7 for nearly 2 years but only recently (past few weeks) it started making a very annoying popping/crackling sound when playing any sorts of media content both streamed or download. I did some research about this and unfortunately I haven't been able to find an answer. Some people mentioned an ARC app or Skype to be the culprit. Some others even say that it's the WiFi during standby that creates the problem. I honestly tried everything including factory reset, whole system reinstallation, safe mode etc but nothing works, the annoying popping sound still happens whenever I watch or listen to something and it can be heard from the speaker and wired earphones.
Anybody who's got any knowledge or has experienced the same problem could you please share your views/experiences as this is driving me mad?
Thank you in advance!
PS it doesn't seem to happen during phone calls...yet! At the moment running latest PHN firmware. All stock. Model G930F
i had same problem but only in android 6.x, on nougat all is fine
same probleme here i have stock nougat rom
Thanks for your feedback guys...I'm assuming it's the firmware's problem. I guess I'll wait for Oreo and see whether it gets fixed
