Hi there
I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems streaming Audio
using the SanDisk Wi-Fi SD Card. The problem I have is that it seems the data/audio stream keeps corrupting , as in the sound keeps clicking ever 3-4 seconds , I have tried this on a number of streaming sites and get the same results , I tried this on my old Ipaq 5450 and the stream is crystal clear no drops at all. The Player i am using is Gplayer which is freeware and works wells , the streaming site i am trying to connect to is
h**p://www.somafm.com ( Great music by the way ) , any help would be greatfully accepted.
Regards

This issue has been around for a while now and it happens on mine as well. It seems this is a defect present on all XDAII's.
I had the same problem when I used gsplayer, works fine with pocket music (with the feature pack, the freeware version doesn't support streaming)
O2 XDA II audio patch
Try installing this. This came from O2 U.K.
Thanks
Many thanks to all who have replied , I have now d/loaded Pocket Music and will try it out when I get home.

Hi,
I am also having the same problems. Its a similar setup ie sandisk sd wifi and wireless broadband router. I have tried installing the audio patch and tried pocket music, but it still skips. Any more ideas?

try increasing the read file cache (player options, general) I've got mine set at 2 meg, and also in player options, streaming increase the buffer , mines at 128k buffer, 25% prebuffer and 50% after underrun,
Streams fine both of pc via network share and from internet radio.
You will always get some internet staions that "drop out", but i get that on my pc as well so..........
I'm not sure if this can help improve things, but there is a free application called GB-Soft Tweak for WM2K3 Phone Edition that may fix this streaming problem.
I have not test it yet since my brand new socket SD WiFi is on it's way but it's worth a try.
It has an option that reads:
Higher priority for audio media streaming -> eliminate clicks (till after soft reset)
Good luck!

Hi .... first of all I wanted to say this board is Amazing and I have read a lot and modded a lot thanks too u guys.
I use my MDA at work to listen to streaming radio as well as Mp3's... listening to mp3s is fine... however I only have t-zones and the streaming only lasts 3 or 4 minutes... I know its because I have t-zones ... at least I think thats why... Anyway I was wondering if there was anyway of Windows Media Player to refresh the connection so that it will restart automatically.. so that I do not have to keep taking it out of my pocket and doing it?? It brings up an error message I have to click ok then the play button and then it goes fine again for another 3 to 4 minutes. Just wonder if I can bypass that... I dont mind it having to refresh every 4 minutes... just wish IT or some other media player could do it.... ANY suggestions would be helpful... thanks to all again.
Ok, Here is my issue.. When I try to play a song through windows media player... <Windows Mobile 5, since Cingular wont offer the WM6 upgrade for the 8125 and I am a moron....> it gets about 20 seconds into the song then the whole device freezes.. I have plenty of memory.. but it freezes.. and I cant figure out why, anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
When playing music I often get small breaks during MP3 playback. Half a second of silence or something like that at random times about 5 minutes apart.
It does not matter what player software I use. This problem is also very common among the HTC Diamond users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412065 .
Do you have the same problem? I bet you do .
strange, ive been using my phone everyday as an mp3 player and i havent heard it skip even once.
Does it lag with every song, or are there specific songs where it lags. Are there any that absolutely never lag? Also what kind of headset do you use for listening?
edit> Also, what ROM are you using?
It is not really a skip, it is just a very short pause. You would not notice it in noisy environment. I tried 320bps, 192 bps, 128bps. Everything the same, lower bps are little bit better. It also helped if I set playback priority to higher (in MortPlayer or CorePlayer), but it did not solve it.
It seems like some higher priority process tries to do something and at that point sound lags.
It does not matter if I use headset or play on speaker.
I have this ROM:
ROM version: 1.40.401.2 (21259)
Radio: 0.27.30.09
Protocol version: 12.27.30.09W
strange very strange, i use my jade about 2h a day as mp3 player and i never have that kind of problem..
i generally use the default player... try with that a tell us it works...
ciao
I have the same problem.. But only when i'm using my bluetooth A2DP headset. Seems to get worse when i "move" my phone quickly, like when i'm running or riding a bike and the phone is in my pocket. I also experience random speedsups after the music skips, like the media player is trying to catch up or something..
I use a bluetooth headset too, and no problems, even when ive got several things running at the same time. Maybe its a ROM problem. I can imagine it being real annoying but its not something all of us have so i would just try to get it fixed or get a new one.
btw my ROM is version 1.40.401.2(21259)
Same problem here!
Please write to HTC about this problem. If they tell you they do not know about this problem, they would LIE, because I did tell them .
I found a way around this: Use Windows Media Player only for playing MP3 files. WMP is a pain, but it works.

Hi
Is music stored on Micro SD card? If yes try storing on internal memory, if OK playing from onboard memory then suggest reformating card. I had performance issues with card when using apps that continually transfering data from card, would get "lag", but browsing card etc. was fine. Formatted as FAT32 in windows using USB card reader and then all OK.
Hey fenikso!
I'm sorry, but I never discovered a problem as per description. Not tested A2DP yet. I always store my music files on sd card, I think like the most of us. Runs perfectly.
I`ve formatted my sd card as the FAT ( not FAT32 ) system. Maybe your solution of the problem?
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Bump-ti-bump.
Still experiencing this problem. Haven't upgraded to the lastest official rom for the Jade, will try that and see how it goes. With a wired headset, the problem doesn't present itself, so i guess that rules out the micro-sd card inside the phone.
do have exactly the same problem, but reversed. while i was using bluetooth headset, never experienced audio lag. Then BT headset died, bought PortaPro, and here we are... contacted HTC support, told them about, they want me to do hard reset and stuff... when i pointed them to this forum, as this problem seems to be related to many new HTC models, and they did not contacted me since then.
So i listen to music with gaps...
