On my international Galaxy S3 (stock everything), while playing music over headphones (tried several brands), I hear intermittent distortion, it's like a buzzzz or a spark. If you're a casual listener you could miss it. The duration of buzz/spark is for a fraction of a second. It occurs at least 2-3 times in every song. When I go back and play the part again, where the distortion occurred, I am not able to hear it. Oh well, I know the recording is clean.
I am not sure if it's got to do with the CPU cranking to cater to a different process. I tried keeping Wifi, bluetooth, data, ... all off. I also removed all processes via the task manager + cleared RAM.
Please help. I can't live with this issue since I am so much into music and very picky when it comes to audio quality.
Thanks a bunch.
not an earphone problem
i have the same problem precisely as you describe.the drop or interference
is so momentary that the first few times it happens i think its a hesitation
in speech or a minute pause inthe music.its enough to irritate or spoil the
full enjoyment of your listening.
i dont think its the earphones because ive tried a few different pairs that i know
work perfectly with other players including another Samsung.I think i may have
to request a replacement if it is a permanent feature.
Hey all,
My girlfriend dropped her LG Nitro HD in the toilet this morning. We immediately did the whole rice thing for a couple hours and now her phone's in mostly working order, save for a small audio issue. When playing music or video, the audio won't play back out of the speakers, even with volume maxed. No sound at all (though the audio does work with headphones plugged). However, all incoming calls, SMS, etc. will have the appropriate audio playback working just fine out of the speakers.
I'm thinking there was damage to some part of the phone which is causing this error, but I don't see what. I can't imagine why we'd get audio from notifications but not music or video. Is there something I can do to try and fix this?
Thanks!

My Galaxy S6 keeps randomly pausing music playback while I have it connected to the aux input in my car for no apparent reason. Phone is rooted on the stock AT&T Rom and has been restored via ODIN twice without any change. It did this before root as well without change. I have disabled nuplayer in the dev settings and tried resyncing my library multiple times thinking it was due to corrupted files. This clearly is a samsung issue and seems to be apparent with older generations of the Galaxy series as well. Does anyone have a fix? I can't imagine the rest of you are actually putting up with this bug on a $600 phone. It's really driving me nuts having to keep fiddling with the damn phone while I'm driving to unpause the music, raise the volume past the warning, just to do it again a few minutes later. Tried the stock music app as well as doubletwist, no changes. Could this be caused by some motion sensing feature that needs to be disabled?
So who here has a fix? Appreciate any tips or solutions. Thanks
I know I'm not the only one. Who knows the fix and wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks
Bump for info
I have a similar issue, as my Bluetooth earphones just stops playing music. The the strange thing is that my other pair of Bluetooth earphones work fine, and I've never had any issue with other Bluetooth media connections (including those in a car). It could be specific to your car.
I'm using Google Play Music.
Have you tried it with another system?

Do you guys happen to have the music pause gesture? Had this problem with the note 3 where video seems like it was lagging really bad but it was actually pausing and unpausing because of smart stay. Turned it off and it was perfect. It's probably a screen protector messing with the sensors for the gesture.

I faced this too.
This happened when i play music directly from the Widget. However if i open the app and play music, it didnt stop.
Hope this helps.
Blame the ****ty memory management that keeps killing apps.

OP, are you saying that when it pauses, it also resets the volume warning? Or was that just additional annoyance?
^^Combination of both. When playing music on the device via aux in my car, I have the phone set to max volume, then control volume output via my car. When using the stock music app, doubletwist, etc, the music will randomly pause playback for no reason while the screen is off while the phone sits in my lap untouched. Smart stay is off, and I'm running out of ideas honestly. Been listening to Pandora recently and haven't had issues in the past four days, so it's something with music playback for the device only. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Maybe your cable is loose or has a bad connection on one end or the other? When you unplug headphones, music playback stops. Try using an app like Trigger or Tasker to make something happen on headphone unplug, such as launching a certain app or whatnot so that you'll know if the phone thinks it got unplugged.
Try clearing the cache of the music app ir use Cache Cleaner (downloadable from Playstore) to clean all cache. You can also try going to recovery mode to wipe cache.
Unfortunately I clear cache weekly, and am certain its not a connection issue. Are there additional touch or motion sensor other than the smart stay function (currently disabled) that could be triggering this?
I don't know what to tell you. Using aux is similar to plugging in via headphones and I've had no issues in that regard. I've had no problems with Bluetooth streaming either. In cases like this, it could be app interference or faulty hardware.

Is it only happening when you're using it in your car? What about with headphones or BT audio connections.
Do you have any sound effects enabled? I noticed that SoundAdapt really affected the performance of my phone, so it could be a factor.

I'm almost certain its some kind of gesture that is interfering. I don't use any of them and will gladly disable anything that could remotely cause this. I noticed the other night when my friend was driving my car, I was sitting in the passenger seat with my phone playing music through aux for at least an hour and no pausing whatsoever. I had the phone in my hand the entire time instead of near my leg sitting face up on my seat, which made me realize it must be some lockscreen gesture interfering. Any ideas?
Is the screen actually on? I don't know of any gestures that have an effect while the screen is off other than the one that makes the time display pop up, and I don't think that would cause music to pause.
There's a gesture that mutes if you put your hand over the sensors. Maybe it thinks that is getting tripped? But I don't know if that would cause the music to pause. Maybe try intentionally doing that gesture to see what effect it has?
If you think it's a gesture, just disable all of them and see if the problem clears up, then slowly reenable them to see when it breaks again.

Thanks. I will try that and let you know. I went ahead and disabled all of them. The screen is off btw when this happens.
I think it is because you are playing the music on full volume. I believe that the phone on some songs can't support the power output causing it to pause. Try instead playing it one level less than max. I noticed that this only happens with some songs specifically at max volume. This doesn't happen at a lower volume on these songs.
Galaxy s6 edge and s6 music pause or stop issue fixed
i had the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge. music stops or pauses especially when i am using Soundcloud, pandora, Milk music player or Beatport.
but i fixed the issue .
First open the "Smart Manager" app and select battery.
Second select "details" and you should see most of the apps that uses more power.
Select "Cancel Auto stop" on the apps u want will be using especially your music app. if you don't want then to stop after sometime.
Thank you
Hope this solves ur problem
I am having this same problem on my S6 edge. Not rooted (first phone I haven't felt the need to root since the Evo).
It happens whether using connected headphones, bluetooth headphones, or in the car A2DP using the Google Music app, Pandora, or Slacker.
Was hypothesizing that notifications are causing the pauses. Would like to try the suggestion above but WHERE IS THE SMART MANAGER app?
Also, was wondering if anyone with the problem fooled around with the animation scale settings described here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s6-tips-and-tricks/4/ (under How to unlock Developer options)? Wondering if that is causing my/our problems.
Thanks,

I was trying out the free version, and was interested in buying the pro version. But while watching a show today on my tablet, I noticed that the background/environmental sound was cutting out, going quiet, when there wasn't other sound at the same time. It was a scene on a plane, and the low hum of the plane in flight is constant throughout. But it was quickly fading out in the absence of dialogue or other sounds. And each time I went back and listened to that section again, it kept doing it. When I switched over to VLC to test it out there, I could hear the hum of the plane throughout the scene as intended.
I've tried switching to each audio output option (OpenSL, Java AudioTrack, AAudio), but the issue persists with each one. Does anyone know what might be causing it, or how to fix it? I like the user interface of MX Player more than VLC, but I'm definitely hesitant to make the purchase while this audio issue persists. Thanks in advance for any help that might be given. I'd definitely say I'm a relative noob when it comes to stuff like this.
After more testing, I actually do hear the same thing happening (even if not to the same extent) with VLC also - so this forum probably won't be able to help after all. The issue isn't with the video files, because it doesn't happen with them when played on a laptop, for instance. Not sure if it's something with my particular tablet (Samsung Galaxy S5e) or just android tablets in general. I'd still very much like to know the cause and if there's a way to address it, but I guess it's not a huge deal to just live with.
Well, I believe I finally figured it out. It seems to have just been an issue with the sound quality settings on my tablet. Under Dolby Atmos, "Auto" was selected, so I guess the tablet was altering the sound automatically. Once I changed it "Movie", I no longer noticed the issue. So this thread can probably be closed or deleted by a mod or something, if so desired.
