Hi
I have been having a weird problem with the touch HD. After I installed pocket music player 5.1 I noticed that the palyer is not working correctly.
When I listen to music I notice that I hear a small gap or click in the song barely unoticeable, but to me its annoying. I store the music files on the external sd card. Also the sound quality really sucks from the hd compared to other mobile devices.
Then after playing some time I get a weird message that there is a error message ( audiomanager.exe ) encountered a problem.
Well Please tell me what might be the source of error with the pocket music player. And why do I get error messages.
Is there a better player than pocket music and gives great sound.
I don't like the music player that comes with touch hd, it does not sound that good either.
I kept getting that error with the TouchFlo musicplayer. I seem to have narrowed it down to the mps tags. I removed the track no and any comments and now have no problems.
For playback, are you talking about headphones or speaker ?
Have you installed th SD tune up prog ?
I have now installed the tune up prog.
I will test it now, but I mean that the lag in sound was when I connected the headphones.
What do u think of the sound quality ? I really am not impressed.
Is it cause of the pocket music player, or is there any other good music player

I find my iphone headphones fine but my B&O do highlight problems (but they do on anything), overall I find it fine. You can adjust the sound to suit using the audio booster. Theres lots of different settings to tune the music.
I think is a common problem I have a few friends including me facing this problem ' skip gap within the song. We all using many brand of headphone to test it still having same problem (Audio-Techic, CrossRoads, Jays, etc). Anyone have any idea to how solve it? Thanks....
I am playing some music recorded to .ogg, using either Pocket Player or Coreplayer, but every few minutes (about 4-5 minutes), there is a little stutter during playback. It is very annoying and destroys my enjoyment.
I agree that the tracks are long (around 20 minutes) and the files are therefore large, but I have tried to increase buffer size for the players, but it seems to make no difference.
Has anyone got some inspiration for me?
thanks

I've also noticed similar minor "glitches" in the audio playback, but when playing .M4A files (similar to AAC).
Anyone else noticed this? I don't know if it also affects MP3s.
Ideas, anyone ?

Hi,
I am also facing this problem any resolution?
Yes.... this problem happens with Mp3 also.... who could think of it. It can't even play music without stammering... lets not get started on video

I have tried the basic guide to enhancing performance at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446366
and it seems to make no difference - the stutters are still there. I thought it might be related to doing a Send/receive in Messenger, but it doesn't seem to be.
This is real downer on my experience of the HD, as I was expecting it to be the ultimate communication/entertainment all-in-one device. Not so sure now.

I don't think optimizing performance has anything to do with this. I mean, playing audio is NOT a demanding process. My old xda2i used to play audio without hassle....
There is something else that is responsible for this skipping in audio on the HD, I just can't figure out WHAT.
BANE
Same for me with MP3 using PocketMusic player, hopefully will get some updates soon... Then hopefully the HD will be more of what we all wanted!
Excuse me if this is stating the obvious, but I would urge everyone experiencing this problem to be sure to REPORT IT to HTC.
If there is no obvious solution and it requires attention from HTC developers, then we can't expect them to fix it unless people actually tell them about it, preferably quite a few people !
Thanks,

I have to say that I haven't experienced this even once. And I should be seeing it more than anyone, because I listen to audio books on my Touch HD for a total of about 80 minutes every day during my commute. My files are MP3s that are up to 8 hours long (100+ MB in some cases). I use Pocket Player 3.7. Never happened to me even once so far.
That stutter was exactly what was happening to me on my previous Windows Mobile phone, the AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II). It was like a half-second pause (not a skip) every once in a while. I was seeing it with Pocket Player 3.7 and with Audible.com's own player (possibly using the libraries of Windows Media Player) on that device.
In fact, one of the things that I like best about my Touch HD is that it cured that occasional pause problem for me when listening to audio books.

Interesting.. It would probably be less noticable with speech, though.
In my case, it's more like an occasional discontinuity in the tempo of the music, perhaps like a tiny fragment has been skipped. I only notice it every few minutes, but then again because the sound quality is generally very good, it's an annoying artifact in an otherwise pleasant listening experience.
I'm using the same music files that played back OK on my old PDA, so it can't be the fault of the files. I've not got any other fancy software loaded that might upset it, either.

That's probably true. There are more silences between sentences and, sometimes, words. That increases the likelihood that the stutter might coincide with one of those, which reduces my likelihood of noticing it. On the other hand, what are the odds of it always having coincided with those occasional brief silences in the audio book, in my entire two weeks' worth of audio book listening (easily over 10 hours) since I got the Touch HD?... I've never noticed it even once, while my similar stuttering experience on my Tilt was fairly obvious and annoying on a regular basis.
I have the same problem in all music players. It IS annoying. I have read in the Touch Diamond forum that they have had the same issue from day one. My Prophet and Trinity never had this skipping issue. Maybe a future rom will fix it.
Interesting thread here.. havent noticed anything so far on my HD..
testing it now to see if it accures!
will tell you the results in a bit
After aprox. 20mins of mp3s all is smooth without problems!
Guys i dont know why you have this annoying glitches.. i have no problems with mp3s or what so ever.. (using TF3D player)
the sound quality from the HD to my Creative Aurvana is just superb! i cant see why some people complain about the sound quality!
(get a decent pair of headphones maybe?)
here are is the info of my HD:
ROM: 1.14.40.1.3 (22273) WWE
ROM date: 10/24/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
FYI as we all do.. i added a lot of programs and tweaks to the device so its not "clean"
as it was out of the box!
hope you resolve this issue.. but my guess its just a small bug in some rom builds?
yes this is a bug, and a bad bug too, it makes listening to any track really irksome. It has that sort of effect, where you sit there just waiting for the track to stutter.
the funny thing is that the stutters occur between 4-5 minutes apart. There must be something to that, the processor must become occupied at these regular intervals.
I think the obvious point, as someone pointed out above, is to report it to HTC - what they will do I have no idea, they normally don't answer my bug reports other than a formal receipt.
It seems from the posts here that this is definitely a problem. Perhaps another class action to make some action? The HD is now useless to me as a media player ...

can you post rom version etc of your device?
I have the stuttering problem as well and it's really annoying.
I have the same problem - using windows media player playing mp3 files

I have the same problem too, I thought I was the only one.
I will try a hard reset and play some audio files to check if it is related to some piece of software installed on my HD.
i have the same problem, i am using mp3 at 320 kbs without conversion with the manilla player...the stutter is really a fraction of a second, but it is annoying indeed.
Hello All,
Is there any people got the sound lag issue?
I tried hard reset the X1 , and use the WMP to play the wma or mp3
and the music will have a lag "random and very short" like the HTC Diamond
"Actually I have diamond before, and the problem is exactly the same"
Also I found the GPS lag issue also like the diamond = ="
Is anyone get the same issue??
Hey,
I have the same problem with the sound.
Really frustrating when listening to music, it happens at least once on every song.
Aren't there someone who knows how to fix this?
Well I am now totally fed up with the play back of mp3 palyers ( core, pocket music, pocket player ) there is a dam stutter in the playback.
We should make an official appeal for htc to fix this annoying issue

Apparently it's been there since the Touch Pro. It also occurs in the Touch Flo player by the way...

I've not had this stutter reappear after flashing a cooked ROM
for me it does not occur on touch flo at all, but all other players have the stutter problem
Yeah I have noticed it in a few different players - Konama, Core. This morning I have been using WMP and it doesn't seem to have jumped (the THD has been laid flat on a table though and hasn't been moved around). Can someone without rotation software comment as to whether the rotation software affects playback - I noticed that when using the konama player to playback music, rotation of the screen (gyrator 2) seems to cause dropouts.
hi, i searched forum but there seems to be no other with this specific problem...
i´m using my Jade as MP3 player, and there is annoying gaps during playback... not between the songs, but during the song. seems to happen once at 10 mins or so. First i´ve been thinking of broken phone connector, ´cause it´s just like bad contact or broken cable... but it happens even with playback on system speaker too. Until today, i have been using bluetooth stereophones, and didn´t noticed this, after my BT deadset died, i´ve bought Porta Pro wired headphones and here my problem starts. MP3´s are played from 8GB SDHC Kingston class6, have 39MB free storage and 71MB free ram. Can´t do hard reset, too much apps i need almost daily. BTW, i´m using Jade to record audio too, with external mic, for work-in-progress recordings while training with band.
There are no gaps in recordings, works just fine. Only this MP3 playback...
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, I thought, I don´t have this problem with the actual ROM, but this is not right.
Many of the HTC Devices have this Problem and you can hear it in many Devices very good, but in my Jade this MP3 skip it´s very minimal, but there it IS a skip :-( (**** happens)
For many Devices -Diamond, Touch HD, Touch Pro, ... - give it a Hotfix from April 2009 but nothing for the Jade .... :-(((((
thanks for reply, no one else having this problem ?
This thing is realy annoying me, this device is my only music player available...
strange that it never happened via AD2P/BT...
In Kaiser/Tilt section, there´s thread about the same, only fix seems to be flashing another ROM/radio, so please could anyone post their configuration and how their mp3 playback works? I have stock ROM.
I confirm so music skips sometimes. Very annoying thing. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.
I reported this problem long time ago. It is very annoying.
One would think that with the technology as it is playing mp3 files should not be a problem, but on Jade it is.
