Sound distortion on some music.

Hello. I hope you can help me because this problem is giving me A LOT of headaches V.V
first of all, im spanish so dont expect a great english.
Let's go;
The main problem is; i hear some distortion on some music tracks. Its a short distortion, like a "pop" that you hear when you're plugging a jack on the computer.
Its not problem of the music file, as it happens randomly and i cant repeat it, and it doesnt happen on the computer. It's not problem of the headphones, as it happens in the onboard loudspeaker, and with other speakers (i have no other headphones to try with). It's not problem of the music player, it happens with the stock one, and doubletwist ( i haven't tried more)
It's something releated to the firmware i think, as I downgraded back to JM1 and distortions dissapeared (at least i didn't hear any). Now i'm trying with JPP as it's the latest official update with Kies, and it still happens, but less than with JPY.
I'm REALLY frustrated, i've wasted hours trying to analyze and isolate the problem but I dont know why it's happenning and how to solve it :/

ive had the phone lock up if it changes clock speed on the later roms - totally at random - but sometimes ive noticed a click or pop as well
in another thread somewhere someone else mentioned that their music player was crashing when their phone changed clock speed.
If youve tried everything else - try locking the clock speed so it doesnt change? (setcpu ?)

Ok, thank you, i've tried locking CPU speed at 400mhz with setCPU and it works. Now that we've located the problem, what can we do?
I'd have to open setCPU every time i want to listen to music?
:/

I've noticed that if you change the equaliser settings from the default it has that click noise when playing the music. Problem us that the default settings are crap, but if you want to change it you get that annoyance in that background

Songs skipping 2.3

Whether it's poweramp, default android music player or any other player my songs starts jerking and skipping and it sounds like pirated copy of cds. Anyone have the same issue as me? Any work around?

I can't report the same, 2nd day of having the GB update and no sound skipping so far. Do you have this issue with all mp3 files or just a few?

this happen to many ppl :/

I thought it was just me
Mine has the exact same skipin I just hv meridian player on mine
Hopin to see a fix soon

Yeah, it's been discussed in a few other threads. It seems to be a pretty common issue with this build of GB on the X10.
I get this issue with the stock, unrooted room and WB's rom with hotfix 005. The audio players I've tested this with so far are the following: SE music app, Google's music app, TuneIn Pro, Pandora. I'll try Winamp and poweramp later... a larger cache should help but it's a bandage on an underlying problem.
A few people have said that the problem goes away when connected via bluetooth.

If you mean the "lag" that occurs when you rotate your phone then yeap, that's there. I thought you meant that songs skip from 0:30 to let's say 0:40 randomly.

The entire song
And if am usin my bluetooth headset it skips for a second like streamin was poor
Then wired headset its so obvious

[Q] S3 vibrating when listening to bass heavy songs with headphones.

This is probably the freakiest problem that i have ever had I normally use Player Pro for listening to music but when I use it in the S3 the vibration module becomes active and it vibrates along with the bass heavy songs. I am getting the same problem sometimes with the stock video player...and also MX video player. interestingly the stock music player does not have this problem.
Anybody getting the same problem...any idea how to solve this?
Initially i was amused with this thing..as it sort of makes video watching better. When i was watching Thor...the fighting portions were double the fun because the S3 is underlining the epicness with vibrations...For the first time I was thinking...Is this a bug? Is this a feature?..Is this both?
But now I just want to get rid of it..hearing music is ****ty on the long run.

Its not a problem or a fault, its a feature called auto haptic feedback. Think it in the sound setting.

The bass be pumping! Pumping! Pumping!

Music stuttering/skipping on GS4 I-9505

Hello everyone !
So, I posted this on the distortion/crackling post but it seems it's a different problem, so I'd like to know if other Galaxy S4 users are experiencing the same thing.
The problem :
I experience stuttering in music, it skips some like a fraction of second of the song I'm listening to. It happens even if I'm not navigating through the phone (screen off).
Also, I experience music skipping with the stock player AND with Player Pro when playing FLAC tunes.
I don't seem to have distortion problems though.
The phone : Galaxy S4, I-9505, non rooted, barely have any apps installed (I got it last week and I'm not an app fanatic). I play music from the internal storage, not sdram.
What I've tried :
- Clearing RAM - doesn't particularly help, I it seems it stutters when the background stuff comes back (I have more stuttering for a while right after clearing RAM).
- Tried Power Amp - I seem to have less stuttering, but it's still quite present.
- Tried playing music without headphones - I seem to have less frequent stutters, but it still happens.
- Tried Player Pro - still stutters and I also have song skipping with FLAC.
Anyone knows where's this stuttering coming from ? And how to fix it ?
Thanks !

So, I tested some more and I get no stuttering when playing on speakers with Player Pro.

[Q] Music apt-X falters, stammers or studders

So I have this Note 3 which I like a lot. Big screen to watch series in the train, although after a while I got pretty fed up with the chord of the earphones, expecially when I had to get up, swiched to music and had to stuff my phone in some pocket.
So I looked around for some nice Bluetooth headphones and came across a nice deal on the Sennheiser MM 550-X. Just stating the model for any chance that someone is aware of some faults in this product.
Now, overall the sound quality is fine, which you would expect because of the apt-X thing which both devices support. But what really annoys me, is the following.
While listening to the native musicplayer, the music sort of studders. Not all the time, but like one or a few times per minute and then not at all for a few minutes. Some faults sound like pops, but some are real pauses for like half a second. Especially with those longer pauses I can distinctly hear that the music really 'pauses' and that it is not just the connection which fails while the music on my Note plays on.
So I suppose it has something to do with the apt-X coding. I already tried rebooting, killing background processes, switching off wifi and mobile data. I also tried different music players. Nothing seems to help.
The only time when I have almost no problems is when I'm at home, with te phone lying still on the desk.
I have a stock rom.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

That's difficult, because I don't have a phone which supports apt-X available.

Most phones these days support it.
Maybe a friend's?
Maybe the problem is something else entirely. You need to troubleshoot it.
I am just guessing, though. Never used bluetooth headsets myself.
