From time to time I have a problem where all my audio plays at 2x speed (or something faster than normal.) It starts happening with no "apparent" cause. It applies to all sounds, so my ringtones will go faster, the voice command voice is faster, and MP3's as well. It happens without any over clocking, or with over clocking for that matter.
It goes away after a soft reset but is still quit annoying. Anyone else have this issue, or better yet, a fix for this issue?
Thanx; Lew
thats happend to me once or twice, however..i dont soft reset...i just stop all running programs and its fine
Thanx for the reply. That don't seam to fix it for me. hmmm...
Same problem Here????? :roll:
I have the same problem when playing files off the storage card. So far, only thing that fixes it is a soft reset. Closing all open app's didn't do it for me.
I'm noticing the same problem as well, although I wouldn't say it plays TWICE as fast. To my musician's ear, it's more in the range of a whole step, which is common when 44.1KHz files are played back at 48KHz. Maybe there's a connection? I'd love to find out what's causing this.
As with others, the only thing for me that cures it is a soft reset. This is annoying, because it screws up the pitches of DTMF.

Same here. You'd think that with such a high tech device and for the price, you'd get a device that at least played music correctly.
Is that too much to ask? I was going to ditch my iPod video and Nano and use my 8125 as my mp3 player but not with this annoying glitch.
You'd even expect the default ringtone to ring at the correct speed!
But NOOOO!
A.
mine did this to only thinkg i did was applied some tweaks using tweaks2k
not sure if that was what did it or not
Check to see if your ringtones are on the miniSD verses the phone in the rings directory. It did that on mine and then I erased the ring out of the SD card and put it in the windows/rings directory and then it didn't do that anymore. Try and see. It fixed it for me.
Mine are in those folders and it still does it. I have done registry tweaks and it does it. My friend has done nothing except install Agile 5.0 and his does it too, it has to be caused by using your own homemade ringtones.
Nope. I use a stock ring tone (Old Phone) and it still does it.
In a word I can tell you what causes this: BUG.
I figured out how to make mine play the sounds at normal speed. I just connect the stereo headset and disconnect.
Let me know if it works for you guys.

Has anybody tried the solution in the link provided by Nice Pants? I am hesitant to make a registry tweak that nobody seems to know too much about.

I tried this registry fix and it didn't work. I believe the registry fix is used when your audio isn't working at all, not for this speed issue. I'm experiencing this speed issue as well. It's pretty annoying. Connecting and disconnecting the stereo headset solves the problem, but only temporarily.
You're right, I edited the registry using my directions, and after a soft reset my sound speed was back to normal, I came to realize after the same problem occured again, that it was actually the soft reset that was fixing it. I've only had this happen twice, and unfortunately I haven't been paying attention to what I was doing before it happened.
I currently have the summiter custom 2.17 ROM installed and I never had this problem with the stock cingular ROM. So... it's annoying, but I don't know if I have the patience to look through the registry for the fix, when this will probably be fixed by the "official" cingular ROM whenever it's released.
This is just another one of those issues that we as early adopters will probably have to live with (like the stupid battery icon, and no vibrate on push email).
I'll keep looking though, and if I eventually come up with a fix I will definitely post it here.
I am having this problem as well and posted a comment on Cingular's forum. This problem happened often on the stock ROM, but then seemed to go away when I upgraded to the 2.17 ROM. However, it has returned! It seems to happen randomly every day or two.
Initially (when I was using the stock ROM), I called Cingular's tech support and they forwarded me to HTC's tech support. The HTC guy was sort of rude and initially accused me of overclocking, which I hadn't done! He told me to soft-reset the device, which of course worked, then that was that. Incidently, I have tried overclocking since then and it does not affect audio playback speed. How about them apples? I am not overclocking anymore. I only did it as an experiment.
Also, this is my second device (I traded the first one in because of this issue). And based on the number of people that run into this, I believe the problem is fairly wide-spread, just most people don't pay as much attention to the audio as we do or perhaps reset their devices more often.
I wonder if a workaround can be created to exploit the solution of plugging and unplugging the headphones? Could somebody write an app that emulates the headphones being plugged in and unplugged? Or can somebody trap whatever messages the OS is sending around during that process and figure out which one "resets" the audio speed?
This is strange. I'm half wondering if it's a design flaw...
I hope this thread stays alive and somebody comes up with something. It is frustrating, despite being a "small" issue...
Personally I always have my headset in my pocket and just connect and disconnect, but I'd love to see this problem fixed. I have noticed on my device that the sound speeds up when EDGE disconnects and reconnects because I loose signal while using Agile. Does anyone have this problem and is not using Agile Messenger??
I don't even subscribe to EDGE services, I just use mine for the phone, text messaging, and wifi. And I notice that it started doing it about a week ago, in which i did a HARD reset. It of course went away, and i was thinking it might be some of the Tmobile addons in the extrom. but it seems that cingular is having same issue. I havent even bothered to call t-mobile because all im going to get is a rep who doesnt know anything. its not like they can write rom patches. I notice it came back the other day and i soft reset and it goes away. I want to let you know i've had this issue with a computer before. Someone a long time ago wrote an AC 97 sound driver for BeOS that i used on an old emachines. There was a bug in the driver that made audio play back 10% faster. It was completely software related so maybe someone in the board here who knows about the registry and drivers for this device could find a way to patch the bug.
Hello. I lost sound in my x7500 after upgrade (flash to RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00.00_Ship.exe). My HTC is deaf, no music, no system sounds, no phone rings, even when somebody is calling me. Please help me.
Tried a hard reset?
Yes I did, but nothing. I also tried reinstall still nothing.
Have you checked down the back of the setee? I normally find things there.
Failing that, a reflash might be in order, not heard of anyone else having this problem so could have been a corrupt ROM possibly.
have you associated sound files with any other progs than wmp? Had a similar problem before, that turned out to be that.
sorry about the formatting of this post esmertec jbed and opera mini are playing silly buggers..
did someone noticed this problem?

HTC published a patch over a month ago.
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=291&act=sd&cat=all
Will need to run after every hard reset as not in the rom.
M.S
i could set the mp3 as ringtone even without the patch
It is not the deal that you can't, but it has bugs.
I have the same problem 3. I download a patch from HTC Taiwan. But got the software crash two times on MP3 ring tone.
Have you disabled the Single Volume option?
It happened to me when I disabled the Single Volume option, and went away enabling it..!!
It just happened..!!
apply the patch and problem is solved.
I had the same prob and now it hasn't happened anymore since...

Hi, my gf got the same problem. Can you please send me the patch? It's not available on HTC's webpage any more.
Please send me a pm.
I think it has been removed by HTC as there were bugs in the patch which used to crash few other applications like HTC Album. It used to show some javascript error.

I have the same problem. I kinda' solve it in december last year installing the patch on htc.com. It's true that the patch caused other problems (I got errors in the music tab and in media player) but I prefer my phone to ring properly.
The problem is that I've done a hard reset a couple of days ago and the problem began to show again . I can't find the patch anymore on htc site .
Could someone send it to me? Thank you!
Well if you guys still need it let me upload it somewhere then ..i still keep the files. although it does fix the issue, each time you slide towards music tab, it gives some weird code error issue which is why they remove it (emailed them regarding this)
I'm having the same issue, just missed a call from my boss today
If anyone could provide the patch it would be greatly appreciated.
Also I did a research on google and got alot of results where people complained about their htc phones (various models) not ringing. Some think that it has something to do with time.. If the setting "turn the phone off in .. minutes" is on, then the time goes off. When you press the power button after a while, then you see the time jumping from i.e 14.21 to 14.28 instantly.
I'm hoping that this patch will solve the issue though on my touch 2
-edit-
I wonder if it works OK with the default ringtones.. didn't test with those much, changed to mp3 the same day I bought the phone and it has been doing tricks ever since.
That would be great, LacusClyne!

Enjoy guys ..hope it work.
If problems occur after installing htc patch, then be brave enough and flash a newer/cooked ROM and all the above mentioned issues will be gone for good...
@LacusClyne thank you very much for the uploaded file .
Did someone tryed to convert an mp3 song to another format (wav or anything else) and try it that way? Cause I understand this is a problem with .mp3 files...

dead link does not work
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem as I do, and have a solution for this.
My speech to text option does not work anymore. when i say anymore, i meant it used to work before i had to change the sd card and hard reset the phone (as it was stuck on white screen couple of days ago). I got that the phone to work but now it caught a bug. I dont use this feature as much, but it sort of bug me to know that there is this bug. get it?
so.. i read on a forum elsewhere, that it was due to the headset. i did use the headset several times. But i cant remember if i used the headset before or after i found out that i have this speech problem. moreover, i have restarted the phone but still to no avail.
kindly give ur opinion or a solution to this matter.
Thanks!
so.. seriously?
no answers or opinions? im kinda disappointed now.
i figured it out on my own
Sometimes when I plug my earphones in, the music player shows it as playing, but there's no sound in the earphones. When i remove them, it works fine through the speakers. Tried using different earphones, but same result. Have to restart the phone to be able to use the earphones again.
I have been experiencing this problem since 3 days now.
Has anybody else experienced similar problems? Any solution?
I'm using stock Gingerbread on Moto Defy+.
Please ask all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
At first, I see only 2 options, despite trying another ROM:
1 - Try other music players.
2 - Be sure that you haven't changed any option in any Voice Search / Dialer. And if you have changed, try to reset to default options.

Hmn... in tha case, there's still a lot of things to do.
If the problem is with the phone's jack, you can try to clean it with a blow or compressed air.
There's a bunch of apps, like Ringo Pro, that are known to cause some similar issues, as reported in this thread: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6f261e8427?commentId=564506#564506
After all, if you'r not willing to root and flash other roms in your phone, you might also try bluetooth earphones.

If dust etc were the problem, it wouldnt have worked after restart.
I went through the forum in the link. I havent installed any such app recently. The post might be useful for future though, thanks for that.
