I just upgraded my OP7P to 11.02 or whatever it is...the audio is fine from apps like Spotify, radio, etc but when playing local MP3s either from speaker or headphones it's very choppy - anyone else experiencing this / found a workaround?

Is anybody else getting horrible audio quality with headphones after the update? Even at low volumes, my music is distorted and very tinny.
Before the update, the audio quality was excellent with headphones in, but it's unbearable now
I tested this with Pandora, Google Music, and Doubletwist, so it's not a software issue.
Music et sound through my headphones are just as good as it was before the update. The speakers themselves were never good, but I see no change in output on my headphones or external speakers
I cant comment on that but I did notice that my speaker output levels are different now. They are about 65/35 right dominant. I don't think it was like that before.
No changes for me: external speakers are the same (not the best, but evenly distributed) and headphone sound is good enough.
I had the same problem after the update. Offline update for a second time without any success.
Resetting the device to factory defaults solved the sound problem.

I am using CROMI-X 5.4 on a TF700. It's connected via HDMI to a Denon receiver, and is used to play music, videos, etc.
Whenever I first play videos via MX Player (or music via Shuttle), the receiver says that it's receiving a stereo signal. That's good. The receiver interprets the stereo signal as Dolby PLII and it comes out all 5 speakers and subwoofer.
However, after I play a few videos or songs the receiver suddenly starts receiving a multi-channel audio signal. That's bad. The receiver doesn't mix a multi-channel audio signal, and the source audio is really only two channels, and so only two of my speakers end up being used.
I've confirmed that my media is all two channels, nothing more. Is there any way to force the TF700 to ONLY output stereo audio via HDMI? I've tried editing audio_policy.conf and commenting out the lines regarding the multi-channel capabilities of the device, but it didn't seem to have any impact.
Thanks.
I've confirmed that I get the same behaviour with Google Play Music, My Play Home (a game), and the default Video Player. So it's not an app-related problem.
It *may* be a problem with the receiver, but I believe it worked fine until I installed a more recent version of CROMI. I can only assume it's something to do with the newer CROMI build, or perhaps _that's kernel? In any case, I'd be happy to limit the device to stereo output in ALL cases if at all possible.
Does anyone else experience bluetooth audio lag or delay? When my n5 is paired to my car (2010 Mazda 3), my music doesn't play through my speakers until about 3 seconds later. Audio for movies and videos and games are the same way, so they're out of sync. If I run the Audio Router app (forces audio to be played thru mono "headset mode" [not sure if that's what that's called]) then the lag/delay disappears and everything is fine, except that the audio is now playing at the lower headset bitrate and is mono.
So far, my car is the only thing I have to pair my phone with so I don't know if it's the car or the phone. But, I've only experienced this problem on 4.4 roms. 4.2 was fine, no audio lag at all. Every single 4.4 rom I've used has this problem (cm, aokp, pa, slim, pac, and stock).
The only patch I can think of for movies is to find a player that can allow me to offset the audio (like VLC on Windows does), but I haven't found one that supports that.
Any ideas?

It is an issue with the link to your car. I get the same thing between all my Android devices and one particular Bluetooth device, my context is different using Chromecast to see on TV the picture but hear on bluetooth off my handset the audio, I've tried N4, N7 2012, N7 2013, N10. The only fix in my context is HDMI off the N10 (so in N5 it would be Slimport) and bluetooth off the handset.
For your car, does it have a Tape casette player old tech? They used to have an audio-male to casette adaptors, or an audio socket at all, then just male-male cable to the N5?
Ive had a problem, since the last update where the device will randomly reboot when playing audio, Google Music, Podcast player, BBC Radio Player. There seems to be no reason for it - or if I do a certain thing.
Anyone else had this problem?
I was having problems with terrible audio quality on headphones using the included USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. After reading up I bought a new dongle (Apple) that includes the DAC in the dongle instead of using the analog audio out through the USB port. That did fix my audio quality issue, but introduced a new one. Now there is occasional stuttering/crackling in my music, not major, but usually noticeable at least once or twice in most songs. It happens with the built in music player app, Spotify, and a couple other music players I downloaded to test, and it seems to be more frequent when the screen is off or other apps are running, and switching apps or turning the screen off causes a stutter most of the time.
Has anyone else run into similar issues? I'm thinking this is a problem with the music player not getting priority on the CPU since it seems loosely tied with other app usage, but could this just be a faulty dongle?
