Hi!
Just noticed a problem.
On certain Pocket PC games (Myst and Galaga) as well as a music composer programme (AudioBox), the sound from the JasJar stutters so badly that it renders the apps unusable.
Is there a workaround to this? Some setting I have missed?
I have disabled the incoming beams, but still get breakups once or twice each second.
mp3 and videoplayback seams ok though.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Frode
Possible solution
Been looking into this for a while now. The only thing Ive found is if you start playback and as soon as possible go into the 'edit' menu (I think thats what its called, its the menu that appears when you click on the spanner icon), it will freeze the display, which seems to be the problem, and the playback will be fine.
This works for me. Ive tried 22khz, mono, low quality and bypassing the FX, but none of that makes much, if any, difference.
This method (for me on my Jasjar) plays back pretty much perfect, although its a pain to have to do every time.I still have issues with the program crashing out when playing with filter controls in realtime, so its not great on this device.
As an aside, I havent figured out any solution to get the sister program Meteor to stay in time.The metronome is all over the place timewise! Also I purchased a fast (x133) SD card, as recommended, but recording/playback speed is still poor/pathetic!
For both programs Ive got a feeling its got something to do with Xscale and the display.
Hope this helps.

I discovered really big error on my t-mobile XDA2. In apllications working hard with sound (sound sampling) like games (Warfare inc), video (home made/public made DIVX, WMV) my XDA2 makes annoying "click" sounds during sound playback. Those sounds occures about 5x per second.
First time I found this during playback of video I made and I thougt it is because high data transfer rate from SD card, but the same problem is also in games like Warfare Inc. I played the same version of Warfare on XDA1 wihout problems (on twice slower processor! Another application where I find this problem is Pocket C64, so I think its a general problem...
Please! Does anybody have some suggestion? Help me!
Clicking sounds are always a bad sound. Just dont take it into an airport!!!
Good idea, bud dont solve my problem :-(
Everytime I have installed games on my device, they seem to slow the whole thing down.
I dont think that they work to well with games. The keypad is not even made for playing them effectively.
Get a gameboy!
Solved
Yes, I have Game Boy. But as an emulator on my XDA2! )
Btw. problem solved, I set higher priority for audio (usefull utilty on www.gb-soft.cz) and good bye clicks...
Btw 2. I meant "clicking sounds" as a kind of noise, not "clicking" via screen English isn't my primary language, so sorry for possible misunderstanding
i never really understod what they mean in
Higer priority for audio media streaming -> eliminate clicks
(till after soft reset)
i dont undersant the () part
do they mean
it helps untill you softreset
or that it solves the problem
if you click it on, you have to do a softreset for it to activate
anyway it dont sovle my clicking issues
the only thing that solves those is temp disabling a few today applets
Forever I think!
Hehe, I hope it fix the problem forever! Checkbox lasts checked after softreset... c
Just installed TCPMP v71 and tried v72RC2 when playing music or videos I would hit play on the touch screen then it will play, after 3-5 seconds the sound gets distorted and goes away. If i use the action key to pause and then play it agian everything is fine. If I just load a music or video file and hit the action key it would play fine but if i tap the screen to play it, it screws up. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Try TCPMP v81
CorePlayer also
Hi,
Does anyone else have this bug? I also see it in CorePlayer (I'm running AX3L's ROM 3.0.9) It's a real problem for me to use TCPMP or CorePlayer as I can't pause at all.
Edit: Whoops, I just re-read the thread, and I tried pausing using the D-Pad, and it works! Hooray...
I have exactly the same bug.. after two seconds , the sound goes away and I hear ticking-like sound
tcpmp81RC1 doesn't resolve anything, and besides.. it freezes almost instant
(same sound problem)
I have latest Dopot ANZ WM6 version and I have same problem. I it is very annoing. I tried playing with buffering values and doesn't seems to fix it.

all devices have some limitations/problems. It's a matter of how you resolve it. I came from two O2 devices, and believe me, they have their issues as well. Now, it's my first dopod, hope I can stick to this one.
Sudden No sound on Core Player
Hi all,
I would like to enquire if anyone can help me with fixing this bug. I have been using coreplayer on my HTC Trinity since i got the phone however just last weekend... i am not sure what happen but all of a sudden the sound did not work. The image worked fine... i tried to see if it was my speaker but when i use an alternate TCP player, the sound was fine.
Any ideas? I went to the options => stream => the audio is checked.
I checked the menu option => tools and all of it is checked.
Hence i hv no idea what is wrong.
any ideas anyone? Appreciate any help.
Try to set Audio to Mono and video preload @ 90 % instead 70%.
Bye.
Just got a new treo pro, but I experience a mild discomfort with the windows media player. When its playing and I have a screen saver active, it lags on regular intervals. By lagging I mean the sound just stops for a fraction of a second every like 30 seconds. This is extremely annoying. Anybody else having this issue.
BTW, the problem happens also when an alarm goes off and keeps on playing for like 1 minute. Even though, I assume it uses the same sound engine/codec.
thnx
it's the screensaver updating the time. try disabling it and you should be fine.
I'm just experencing the same thing on my treo pro. It's strange that Palm didn't make it work to have both screensaver and play music. You have to disable the screensaver or have the screen on while you play your music!?
hope Palm will fix that in an update!?
Use Pocket Tunes, it prevents the screensaver to start automatically.
i just use s2p, by a_c. its a great piece of sotware and makes listening to music so much better. almost never lags on me. =]
p.s. it is freeware and has an i-phone like interface. good luck, but the default wmp is horrible once you try s2p =]
This update for HTC HD2 HTC Sense enhances the stability of the music application so your enjoyment of your music is no longer interrupted by the player behaving unexpectedly.
Installation Instructions:
Note: This update is only applicable to ROM versions equal to 1.73.xxx.x, or lower.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=938&news_id=637
Installed without problems. I had very few 'stability' issues with the music app to begin with, so it'll be a while before I'll be able to tell if it improved anything.
And yeah, dammit, you beat me by a minute!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671207
what changes does this actually make, htc are always really vague saying what a patch does. does it by anychance fix the library reloading everytime
From time to time playback freezes for a few seconds - pretty rare but annoying - maybe this will be fixed.
Or maybe this is how HTC describe the annoying problem where Audio Booster does not automatically kick in when starting playback for the 1st time after a reboot?
the music player is always lag. unlike iphone player which is alot better
That's true, Music Player lags a lot... mainly after a couple of days without switching off the telephone and after an intense use of the player (2-3 hours)..
I hope this hotfix will solve those problems...
Does anyone has any feedback about it?
I wonder if there will be a hotfix for TMOUS, It lags so much i just dont even use that tab anymore

Not yet I'm afraid, but there are things you can do to help with the music tab, check out both of these threads:

Can someone post this cab, it dissapeared from HTC support site
using artemis v9 rom. 16gb card. much faster near instant load and scan of 12mb of music takes 20 secs from several minutes.
Whoooha - /WIN.
No lag (stop in music after every 10 seconds) any longer when putting device into sleep pushing power off once.
Old Work-around to push and hold power off and let it go to sleep from the screen with 'shut down' menu is now absolete.
After this fix just find your music, push play and one-hit power off to let it go to sleep and music plays perfectly.
Super upgrade - waaaaay to late - but glad its fixed!

Audio booster is still not working
As my title, the audio booster is still not working properly after this update. It seems to cut out every time there is a drop in network connectivity.
This is a great shame, because for me it prodcuces the best audio output when combined with SRS WOW.
I am using S2P until audio booster is fixed, because bass level-wise, it is the next best thing. I know it is an iphone-clone along with S2U2, but they both do what I want for this particulalar purpose, so who cares!
Maybe one of the things they have fixed is where non HTC (4-pole connector) headphones make the phone act oddly like randomly redialling the last number dialled and the volume rocker fast forwarding tracks instead of doing the volume...?
Breaks Bluetooth Audio
Hello all.
I installed this hotfix on to Artemis 8.0 ROM and it broke the streaming of music to my bluetooth headset. Tried re-pairing the headset etc. to no avail. Anyone know a quick fix to return the audio output to my BT headset?
Thanks...
Guys, it says for HTC Sense. But thoes this effect WMP at all? I never use Sense to play music. But I have seen that WMP just randomly stop playing my music etc.
Any idea?
This fix does nothing for me... i still get lag, the pauses every 20-30 seconds...
REALLY ANNOYING. Although it didnt do it before, it jsut started in the last couple days, after a hard reset. ????
Does anyone have a solid solution to this problem? i dont wanna have to go to the 3rd party program EVERY time i want to listen to music.

I have now stopped using S2U2 and S2P and now using CHT Lockscreen and HTC Music again. There is still the Audio Booster problem, but with SRS WOW and Audio Booster on "Normal" it seems to be fine. I think if you choose a setting that it different, or customised then you notice the cut out. Either way, the phone seems more stable using less third party tweaks and software.
Hello all,
Coming from an iphone 3gs, I've had a wonderful experience with the Galaxy S, thanks in large part to the XDA community - Supercurio in particular.
His EQ fix for eclair elevated the Galaxy S audio quality over the iphone 3gs (IMO) which i used as my main music player, and with Froyo the EQ problem was resolved completely.
However, for me, and for a few users as well, a very nasty bug persisted - mp3 files would skip and jitter every 2-3 minutes in every song, and this for an audiophile was unacceptable - and frustrating to the point where i had stopped using the Galaxy S as my main portable player.
Having tried a number of solutions (eliminating widgets, shifting songs to external sd, using a task-killer, bashing my head agaisnt the desk etc), only one worked to put the problem to a permanent end:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...-playback-stock-player-samsung-captivate.html
pr0virus: "Its from the CPU throttling during playback.
I had the same problem until I noticed while looking at a system panel app that while music was playing my processor would down-clock to 200 sometimes as low as 100mhz.
Got setCPU, set the minimum it would throttle up to 400mhz, kept it on conservative and haven't had a problem. "
So there you have it - Root phone, Install setCPU, set minimum processor speed to 400 (200 works as good in my case) and voila, you have the best PMP on the market!
Also, remove weather and toggle widget as that causes the skipping too
Many thanks again to everyone involved!
I haven't really thought about this problem for awhile. I recently started using my Galaxy S as my primary music player, be it mp3, m4a or flac. The problem is that it always seems to have some issue with a song during playback (aka: a glitch). It is infrequent, but very annoying. My S9 never has an issue, nor did my Clix2. Regardless of file type, and maybe not often, but it happens.
Initial experience with Froyo (xfjp7) was good. Last night it reappeared during playback of an album. Last song and all of a sudden that brief but distracting "glitch."
Will definitely give your advice a try. Thanks,
El Mono
I have this issue with my phone as well, but not consistently.
It goes a step further, though. Half the time it starts skipping, a second later the phone will actually turn itself off. The only way to get it to turn back on is to hold the power button for a long 10 seconds.
Anyone else seen this?
Think the setCPU fix will resolve for me as well?
I've experienced this kind of glitch or lag maybe twice or three times at all with my phone, and it was because i was listening to music, using maps, youtube and internet. I put my songs on external sd card, which seems to be better. And i also use voodoo lagfix (i don't know if it changes something, but my audioplayer became much better).
Hope it helps someone!
Cheers!
@omersak i have been suffering with this problem intermittently, and it was really getting to me and ruining my morning run! after searching i realised it was wrong to blame poweramp or supercurio! i did exactly as you said, but set for 'On Demand' and 200mhz minimum. have not had A SINGLE glitch since!
excellent work! thanks so much, i highly recommend this to anyone with music glitches!
Use poweramp, u can change the buffer settings and audio is fantastic!
