MP3 playback speed problem - Touch GSM General

My girlfriend's elf plays mp3s faster than their real speed. The pda was mine before and I hadn't noticed this because I didn't use it for listening to music.
I've searched through the forums without success, the only thread I found says that I have to call myself on and the playing speed jumps back to normal. wtf!? Which seems to be true.
Anyone can help me to solve this problem? This is a must have feature for my gf and I really don't want to sell this cute elf. MP3 playback is faster as a ringtone, too.

me too have the same problem..at first i thought it was because of the 4gb sdcard i use, but then i realise that was not the cause..i listen to mp3 a lot using my elf and everytime the problem occur, i have to soft reset my device..thats the only way to have it play by normal speed back..

I thought I was the only one having this problem, I don't usually use my phone as an mp3 player but this can be really annoying.
I don't think it's a ROM problem because I've changed my ROM 3 times already and still this occurs.
I hope someone can give us a fix for this.

my elfin plays mp3 and other audio files faster too... but then video playback seems normal for me... my workaround to this problem is to plug the original htc earphone, unplug, and it plays normal again...
any more useful fix for this problem???

Do you use software to overclock the processor's clock? (omapclock, batterystatus, etc.) I'll try this on the weekend and fire up a new rom, too. SRSWow is just for the quality of the sound, am I right? Or should I give it a try?

overclocked or not, playback is still fast
switching roms doesn't help (tried Onyx 5, 6, Miky, Mega, Ahen roms)
plugging in and out of the earphones is my only solution
EDIT:
is there an app that 'tricks' windows that a headset is plugged??

I don't know such an app but I think we can call ourself on by code which seems to work. Doing this in every 10-60, etc. minutes could solve the problem but this method is the last one I want to use. Would be really ugly.
Have you tried srswow hd? There was a thread where somebody said that could help. (And others said it doesn't.)
Anyway, I think we have to watch for windows messages. Get the messages invoked by the headset plug in and out and others that related. Maybe we will find something
Unfortunately, I don't have better idea.

I already tried srswow and it doesn't help
I'm also trying htc hardware equalizer, but same effect as srswow
even tried other media players like coreplayer, tcpmp, audio manager but none worked...

Several tims I have also faced the same issue "Fast Play MP3" but In Onyx I never faced this issue...

@premsoni4u
which Onyx ROM are you using?
Because currently I'm using Onyx Ultimate 4.9 and I'm still having the same problem.

It's not just the mp3, folks...
It's actually everything that has to do with audio on our devices... from your ringtones, sms alerts, even the system sounds.
it sucks big time... i don't think anyone's found a solution to this yet.

No audio playback speed problem in Onyx 6 series!!!

Presently I am using Onyx 6, Release-7, WM6.5 and never faced this issue in any version of onyx 6 series.
Today I am going to flash Onyx 4 series (Specially 4.9 ultimate version) to check the issue and will report you guys, if issue persists...

Hey guys I would like to jump in the wagon.
I'm having the same problem too
I'm using the dsixda's ONYX 4.9 JR version
Anyone can give a hand on this problem? It's really frustrating

hi guys
i have the same problem with you guys for a long time
in fact its since the very first time i used my elfin with a cooked ROM
until today no one have a fix for this
i've posted this problem a number of times
only solution for now is to reset the phone
but it's kinda annoying to keep resetting a couple of times a day
but when i tested it with 6.5 ROMS this problem doesn't occur

Anyone?
This problem is becoming increasingly annoying... In the span of 6 months or so that we've been having this problem, I noticed that the frequency of the problem manifesting itself has increased...

I used to have the same problem earlier. At that time, I used to reset my phone and it used to start playing mp3s at proper speed.
I currently have the latest Onyx Rom (link in my signature) and I've never faced the problem after installing this ROM. Maybe if the problem persists, try using a different player (Nitrogen is my favorite).

Can any1 help me.. MP3 songs are playing a bit fast in My touch..

facing the same problem... any luck guys?

hi all
i had same problem but i but one day i dissemble my htc and i clean speaker wire with thiner after that i it pleay normal it's work for me but i am not sure try once

Another solution is just dial any number and make your phone on speaker. once you hear voice on speaker just disconnect and again you are able to play music on your elf/in at normal speed...
(Tip: Just dial your own number so you will hear only busy beep and no other will be disturbed)

Music stops playing on TF3D player

Hi,
I've just bought the Blackstone from Orange UK. Noticed this problem with the TF3D music player. Once I begin playing any song, it just stop playing after a few seconds, maybe 15-30secs. The icon still appears to be playing but no sound is heard. Has anyone else faced this problem? Is it just on the Orange phones? Can I upgrade my rom? As I understand, network roms are not upgraded! What do I do? Please help!!
Also, is there a way the library can be refreshed or updated with the TF3D music player?
Thanks.
No one else experienced this??
Am I the only one with this prb? Anyone with any updates plz?
if you gon on the htc website there is a hotfix for skipping music, although you said your sound stops this might fix it. Worth a try
Tried the fix already, unfortunately it doesn't work!
Still looking for a solution for this problem. It is really nagging!! Plz help!!
Dude, use search, there is a number of ongoing threads for this topic. I for one have never had this problem (with shipped or cooked ROMs), but it seems plenty of others have. Good luck with it.
I've tried upgrading to the latest official ROM 1.56 but this still hasn't fixed the issue. This is pretty strange! How come not many others have faced this?

Sense Music Player problems

Hey all,
Everytime i plug my headphones in, the song im currently playing will skip at random.It works fine when im using the speakers though.
Same thing happens on Windows Media Player.
Nitrogen and pocketplayer seem to work fine though.
Anybody else have this issue?
And are there any solutions?
I indeed have the same problem but found no solution, also sometimes start playing randomly while I don't use Sense, very annoying if I'm using Nitrogen
I've even noticed this happen in Sense sometimes, not sure whats causing it, its very annoying.
I think I have the same problem as you guys. I think I may have fixed it by disabling the auto devicelock feature. I only tried this a couple of hours ago, but so far it has completely solved the problem for me. If you would like to try it, change the value of HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0 then soft reset. I found I can still lock the device manually without problems.
Hey thanks!
It seems to have worked, for now.
I'll report back in a few days.
Crap, the problem still persists.I guess i'll just stick to nitrogen...

[Q] No sound - just crackling/static

I have been running CM 6.1.0-RC1-Liberty on my Aria for a couple of months now. Sometime after flashing, I started to encounter sound problems. I first noticed it while using Google Navigator on long trips. The TTS would stop generating speech and the only sounds were low volume crackles/static. Initially, I thought this was associated with Navigator. However, over the last 2 - 3 weeks, this has started happening sporadically every 2 - 4 days. The only fix I have for it right now is to reboot the phone.
Otherwise, CM 6.1 works flawlessly with the exception of problems connecting to bluetooth devices from time to time. When I have this problem, I unpair the device and re-add and all works. This seems to be a somewhat common problem with Android devices and is easy to work around. It does not "appear" to be related to the crackling sound problem (i.e. one does not occur with the other).
I have not installed any TTS other than the default Pico.
I don't know what else to post in the way of info. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks in advance for any ideas that you have on resolving this issue.

that thread wasn't about crackling/no sound it was about choppy ie: skipping music
what i found was after awhile especially when changing songs with the DSP manager effects/eq going caused the sound on mine to just be crackles i disabled all effects and just used poweramp for a music player because it has a built in 10 band eq
DSP Manager will definitely cause those issues.

[Q] Abnormal sound when switching the screen off

Hey guys i'm trying to report a weird problem with the sound of my G3 when trying to play music. Whenever i start up the stock music player and play music, when i switch off the screen, i hear a weird cracking sound being emitted by the earphones. It's like an abnormal sound coming from the mobile itself through the jack. I've also tried and used my PC stereo speakers and other earphones but the problem persists.
This happened right after i flashed my mobile for the first time 3 months ago. Whenever i switch off or switch on the screen while listening to music, the same sound is emitted. I could really use some help right now dealing with this as it completely ruins the sound output. Also this happens only when switching the screen off or on while doing a sound related activity on the phone such as listening to music or playing games.
On a side note, the mini stock music player that appears on the lock screen shows a significant lag while switching from one song to the other when using Froyo. This isn't the case with any of the 2.1 Eclair rom's i've used, where the player was very responsive and quick while switching between songs.
Seriously nobody on the forum experienced the same problem, if not can anybody tell me the reason why this is happening to my mobile?

It seems you didn't search the forum before posting this issue. This is a known issue with stock Froyo based ROMs. The only solution for this is to flash Fugumod 2.4 Beta3 kernel which resolves many such issues and the above issue is one of them.
So the kernel G3Mod 1.3.2 ultimate that you've been using isn't having such problems? k thx a lot for your signature.

G3mod has this problem but its not frequent, and it would be fixed probably in the next version. The fugumod version mentioned by me above doesn't.have this bug.
Last time i checked the fugumod 2.4 beta 3 800MHz version didn't work well and led to a lot of freezes and crashes. Also tried the 1.3ghz one and had the same problems. The G3Mod 1.3.2 ultimate is by far the most bug-free kernel i've used, and everything is working perfectly except this annoying problem.

Try using the Ram Optimation Script, it has solved the lag issue for many users. Here's the link for that thread:

Music play stops when opening Gallery.

I have a strange experience music play stopped when opening gallery. Does anybody have this problem.
Pls let me know if u have any fix.
You need to give more details for someone to be able to help you...
like, which player you're using for music?
can you reproduce the problem?
if yes, mention the sequence to reproduce the problem, so that other users can also check...
Btw, I'm using n7player and I tried to open Gallery (Album mode) while the music is playing, but the music didn't stop.
Hope it helps...
I'm running PowerAmp playing 128 kbps MP3's and Gallery, view, scrolling thru pictures with flawless performance..

Hi,
I have also experienced the problem of the music player stopping all of a sudden but happens while I'm browsing. It persists no matter which player I use. I've tried clearing cache memory of the applications and from the bootloader as well. But has not helped.
What can be the solution for this?
Thanks.

Do you have LOTS of pics in your phone or card memory?
The only reason I can think of, is the ram memory couldn't handle multitasking when its fully utilized.
Our device has 1 GB of ram but the FREE memory is lower than 300 MB most of the time.
You'd look for the apps for its rem memory consumption and remove any unnecessary apps if needed.
BTW, I tested playing an MP3 file with Rocket Player and then opening the gallery app, but there was no glitch whatsoever.
Strangely, while testing Google play music I found that it stops playback as soon as it loses the focus to ANY other app...
Hope it helps.

By any chance, do you soft-reboot your phone. I had the same problem and realised that soft-reboot and the call problem were correlated to each other. I stopped the soft-rebooting, and the problem was solved.
Hope it helps

No, soft rebooting is when only the software reboots, whereas hard reboot is that what you normally do, is when the hardware reboots as well, I think.

Since you still have an option for 30 days replacement and the problem highly seems like a hardware problem, you'd act fast to confirm the problem.
If I had this problem, I would have backed my data etc and try factory resetting the device.
Then without installing ANY apps....test the music playback for a while to try reproducing the problem...
You'd also try playing the music from device internal memory, to see if that makes any difference.
If the problem come back even once...I'd definitely ask for a replacement asap.
Btw, I never had this kind of problem, and no other person posted about this issue....so this could well be the hardware problem.
I'll suggest to make your decision fast...
