Changing volume during music playback causes stutter - HD2 General

I've searched and haven't seen a thread about this yet, so sorry if it's a double post.
Yesterday I started playing some music on my HD2, and all went good. The volume change was nice, with that bar appearing instead of the grey screen. However when I changed to a different artist, and went to increase the volume, the music paused for a second, then continued at the higher volume. The volume bar did not appear.
I went back to the original artist to see if maybe some partially corrupt MP3s were causing the problem but no, it happens no matter what now. If I change tab and play with the volume I get the grey screen and it all goes smoothly. I've tried with audio booster on & off. And I've even restarted the phone in case it was just stress getting to it - no luck.
Anyone had this problem? How did you fix it?

I have this problem too, drives me crazy! More so since the sound quality is superb! I noticed that sometimes this switch to "volume problem" follows answering the phone with or without BT ear piece, but I cannot be entirely sure. Does anybody have any solution?

I have this problem too! The same thing happens in the streaming video app as well. Also I find that it's very hit and miss when the green volume bar appears (the horizontal one) as opposed to the grey one (vertical) Anyone else find this?

I had this problem the first day with my Leo, but it suddenly disappeared. Never seen the problem since...

Just to keep you all posted - the problem went away by itself
Hoping a fix is found to stop it recurring though.

Im having this problem too... also when using windows media player (sometimes it leads to phone crash)

Freezing issue with sound playback ( qtek 9100 )

searched the forums, never saw this mentioned.
i have a weird issue on my qtek. every time the sound playback starts, i get a freeze of a second or so. so the freeze actually occurs before the sound is played back.
initially i thought that the entire device is just slow, but then i installed a game where this became very obvious ( Dyna/Bomber ). every time the bomb was going to explode, the screen froze for a second or so, and then sound was played back and it moved on. so i turned off ingame sounds and everything was fast.
after that i went into settings/sounds&notifications, turned off "enable sounds for .. Events ( warnings, system events ) and voila, my start menu opens in a snap, instead of two seconds it usually took. Actually all menus, as every menu click has a default "click" sound for it.
But the root issue remains, every sound playback causes a system freeze, any idea on what to check or where do i start debugging the problem ?
i have got a few programs installed, and i really would not like to do a hard reset.
got the k-jam myself, but have to say not a problem i have ever had,
what program are you using for music?
its not the issue with playing music specifically, its with _any_ sound, like system beeps, sounds in menus etc etc. every clip of voice that comes starts out of speaker freezes the system for a second. so i have most of notification sounds turned off
i had a problem at one time with sound, caused by a music player changing the asociations of some audio files, so an audio player was trying to play the ringing tone etc.
sorry cant remember what program it was?

Music Player Issue

Hi,
My HD2 has developed this strange issue whereby when playing music via the HTC music player...the volume control has stopped controlling the volume and now...changes tracks. I reset it yesterday and it was back to normal, ie pressing the buttons was changing the volume as expected. However this morning its happening again...changing tracks. I dont know if its meant to happen or not...but its annoying having to go back to the main menu just to change the volume. Anybody else getting this?
Thanks,
Hus
Yeah this started happening to me too. I'm sure it was working fine when I first got it but last couple of days when I hit the volume rocker on the side of the phone the volume bar comes up on screen and if I press it again it skips to the next track. Volume rocker does work when the phone is locked though but if you've got the music player open all the volume now does is skip tracks.
I just noticed that with mine too. The volume rocker DID control the volume. Now all it does is skip tracks. Very weird.
Edit: Tried the reset, and it's back to normal. I only noticed this because you mentioned it. Haha.
Soft reset? You didn't do a full hard reset?

I did a soft reset. And it went back to normal. Didn't want to hard reset yet, unless it becomes a major problem.
I reset it, goes back to normal and then reverts back after a little while - its so annoying. Its the annoying little bugs that get to you after a while.
mine is fine for now
i had mine for a week now and never experienced it.though i experienced it on my touch pro 2
Yeah, I keep hitting this issue. Haven't managed to work out whether it is random or whether a certain app is causing it. A soft reset fixes it each time.
Hi -- does anybody experience this problem:
You go to Music and it crashes Sense so it will automatically restart?
This is very annoying and so far soft reset does nothing to avoid it. Perhaps hard reset will do it, but anyone knowing how to resolve this without hard reset pls speak up. I would hate to do hard reset for a second time in a single day
They should name it non-sense instead of sense
Same issue here.Volume buttons change into skip track buttons after a while.

I had that problem on my Touch Diamond (I think - it could have been my Touch HD). It was some dodgy album art that I had on the storage card that was causing the problem. For some reason, the UI just didn't like it. Delete all the album art and let the music tab find it for you itself (or go without).
That may solve the problem.
Hi --
album art was downloaded via HTC audio manager. Interesting enough when you play the same song at shuffle mode it goes without problem. Audio Manager will only freeze at the song if you go to library->album->song.
Very strange issue indeed. Also audio manager crashes by browsing album in landscape mode when it reaches certain album (without even playing song at background). This may mean indeed trouble with album art, but the same behavior is when all album art is deleted and blank (no covers). Audio manager will still crash at the same songs/albums... All tags were edited with mp3tag so nothing disturbing there as well...
Anyone who has the same issue pls share of workaround. I was not able to find solution within this forum and elsewhere on the Internet, perhaps this will be taken care of future ROM development I hope?
I am having huge problem with my Loe
I have 16 GB micro SD card, I have formatted through the phone
anyway I have added about 200 mp3's when I try to play it takes ages to update library then phone become sluggish and gets hot
not happy @ all
thinking changing the phone I can not use my phone as a mp3 player
I got my HD2 today, tried to use the music player on my way home and noticed that whenever I started a playlist playing, if i locked the screen, the music would not continue at the next song once the song that was playing finished. This would only happen if the screen was unlocked. Anyone know a way around this?

Music Problem => The solution

If, like me, you have problems while using your HD2 like a music player... Here is the solution: don't stop the phone...
What I'm telling here is simple: It seems that, when using the poweroff/sleep/red button, the phone goes into sleep a little to deeply to be able to play music. You'll have music break or just stopping at the end of the track.
My solution is to "just" lock the phone (Start => Lock) and then, in the pocket... It will sleep by it-self soon.
Another key feature I was unable to use if I "force sleep" my phone is to change the playing volume... Try by your self and tell me if it helps you too
no problem here playing music after pressing the red button to send to phone to sleep. music plays fine for hours.

same here
Mine works also fine
Sorry for the bump but im having a different issue with the music tab, some1 might know a solution and i didnt feel like adding a new thread for something this 'small'
Well, i just today got my phone, and ive (obviouslly) been playing with it a bit, but something akward has happend, at first, when in the music tab, the side button controled the volume of the music, but now (hell idk what i did) it suddenlly changes the tracks when i press volume up/down.
(btw, did you guys get manuals? i just got a quick start wich doesnt cover half the tabs, including music tab)
I must have pushed something somewhere, but im clueless, anyone know what it could be?
I've never normally noticed any problems playing music with the phone on or in stand-by. Although when its plugged in and charging, FM radio does tend to freeze a few miliseconds every 30 seconds. But on battery power everything is just fine
don't have this problem :S
Actually, about my issue, i solved it, in a way you could say its a audio-plug-bug (like seen before in htc devices) i plugged in the headset and now its volume again, ive tried some stuff like unplugging while playing, on music or other tab, but wasnt able to reproduce yet, strange.

Had the same problem yesterday, will give you're fix a try
Im also getting pretty loud noise from the radio, whenever it is download emails or stuff. I´ve never had a device that does this before, when reception is low it sound all the time. it´s so poor for a 600 euro device, man. My hero never did this.

I've got no problems playing music and locking device. However, I have the volume key issue and the only thing that fixes it is a soft reset. I haven't been able to work out why it starts changing tracks instead of volume to start with. Anyone got any suggestions?

I had this issue just today, on top of the numerous other issues ive had. I did a soft reset and the volume buttons started behaving again.
However i noticed a different bug with the headphones. When i was listening to music on them and the phone locked, when i tried to unlock it by sliding the lock slider, i found the screen completely unresponsive. Unplug the phones and the screen responded. plug them back in, unresponsive. Maybe unplugging the phones would have solved the volume keys misbehaving as well, as it did for you. i dont think i tried that at the time.
This unit is so full of bugs, i have resigned myself to returning it overseas. A total pain at Xmas.
Man this is getting frustrating! My music player won't play any music from my microSDHC card now. It finds all of my songs, but I can only listen to about 10seconds before it locks up. I see the little circle-thingie in the left corner spinning and as soon as it stops the music player crashes.
same as above
I have the exact same problem as Toss3 above, couldn't describe it better.
It was working fine though, until i added some new folders. It always happens quite early in the song, so i tend to think that it's scanning the library in the background (the circle 'busy' animation) and it's encountering a corrupt file and is crashing (or at least a file the player considers as corrupt, because all those files work fine on my computer or iPod Classic).
So i'm really bothered, any help from you Toss3, if you find the solution, or from anybody else would be very appreciated.

[Q] Nexus 7 Speaker Failure

Hey Guys,
I have a unrooted nexus 7 which has been working fine until a month ago... It started with the power button no longer responding which somehow corrected it self. That sameday I'm watching a you tube video and the speaker buzzed for a second locking up the video, so I had to replay the video and suddenly had no sound... I played around with all the volume controls in the settings and had no success however the volume control for alarm and notification alarm did play a test sound when I moved the bar but did not increase in volume or decrease just remained at the same soft level no matter where I placed my finger on the control bar. But the headphones still work.
So I did a factory reset and it had no effect. I left the device off for a few hours and turned it back on and the audio came back like new, but after 15 to 20 mins it goes right back to the same problem I had since I watched the you tube video... No one else seems to be experiencing this so I think the speaker or something in the hardware has failed... I'll probably RMA but if any one has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks
I think you are correct about the hardware problem. When it's an hardware issue nothings better than RMA.

Problems with nexus 6p when listening to music

Hey guys
I just registered because I experienced some problems with my recently bought nexus 6p. I really like this phone but as soon as I start listening to music using headphones the bugs are invading my phone since I didn't find anything on Google I start this thread.
But let's get to my problem:
I plug in my headphones and start playing music (using blackplayer and Google music). When the screen is turned on the volume turns down itself (I can see the volume bar going down to zero like I'm pressing the button). Also sometimes the powerbutton stops working and I have to restart my phone long pressing the power button.
But also when the screen is turned out I experience some problems. One of the most annoying ones is that music stops and starts randomly (but only when headphones are plugged in!!!). The other bug is music stopping, display turns on and some female voice tells me "Bitte warten! (please wait)" and the screen is gray saying "initializing".
Has someone experienced similar problems? What could help? If you guys need any more information just tell me
I have none of these problems. Have you tried a different set of headphones?
Change your headphones or ensure that they're set up properly. I'm guessing they're wired.
I'm also running into this same issue. I have the latest updates on my phone. This happens about 25 minutes in to listening to media. I've heard that disabling "OK Google detection" fixes it. This hasn't worked for me.
Sounds like wired headphones with a faulty connection to the phones, or faulty buttons on the headphones. I have seen similar behavior with just a wired connection to an AUX Input. The connection on the wire was faulty and due to changing resistance, it looked to the phone like headphone buttons were being pressed. Could also be a fault at the headphone jack on the phone, but it was not in my case. Definitely try other headphones to help narrow down the issue.
