Factory reset doesn't repair system errors.
You could either reinstall the stock factory image, or flash a custom rom.

Try another player, if the problem persists then you know something is not right. I use poweramp and it normally fades out when incoming notification (Stock rom also). I rarely use gmusic so i can't tell if it's a problem with the app. I tried to call myself now while listening to gmusic and it faded out normally.

Music cutting in randomly

When I'm playing music, other music will suddenly cut in. I thought the problem was WinAmp, so I uninstalled / changed players, but the problem persists (now using UberMusic) .... any ideas???
I've checked currently running tasks and couldn't spot any suspects....
Vibrant KA6
thanks in advance.
Its probably your headphones. If there is a short in the wire your phone thinks you hit play/pause, and your samsung music player starts up. That's my guess.

thanks, but no; happens regardless of cord. I regularly use three seperate ones (connecting car, stereo and headphones). Just to be clear - one song is playing, then half way through another song cuts in and plays over the top - no pause at all.
I had a similar issue, but my music would just start randomly playing at any time. Sometimes just randomly, while locked and in my pocket, and it happened a few times for some reason when I opened up facebook. It's always one of the mp3's I have saved on my phone, and always the first in the playlist, like it was actually selected. I also couldnt get it to stop. It would either randomly stop on it's own or I'd have to turn the phone off. Opening up the media player didnt do anything at all. Hasn't happened in a couple months and I didn't do anything to fix it. Hope someone has an answer.
I get the same issue with mine. For me it happens most of the time with Google Music. If I press the play button from the lock screen, sometimes just clicking next on the music controls in the notification tray, and sometimes just randomly.
When I pull up Google Music, it will usually have whatever song is playing, but it will be shown as not playing. Sometimes pressing play, then pause will stop it. Other times, the only way to stop it is to let it play the song through or reboot my phone. Even ending the Google Music app from the Task Manager doesn't stop it.
Hopefully someone knows some more information on a fix for this.
P.S. This happens despite what headphones/cord I plug into the phone.
Try Headset Blocker in the app market...it's free and solved the problem for me...there are a few others but I don't remember the names

Now that I think about it, you're absolutely correct - this only happens with mp3's that I've downloaded and are stored on the phone mem ... perhaps it's one of the download programs. I often use GTunes, which has an inbuilt player ... I reckon it's possible that it's stuffing me around.
@chronos7 nothing to do with headset controls... as mentioned, happens even with a cord going straight into an amplifier.
just updated to the new version of gtunes, called gpod. Will report back after some listening
I had that problem with either WinAmp or DoubleTwist. Both are uninstalled now and I haven't seen the problem in a while.
It was quite annoying.. whenever I would disconnect the car bluetooth it would start playing.

didn't help ... sigh.
Extra info: it switches back to the original song sometimes. So, playing song a, song b cuts in for about 20 seconds, then switches back to song a. No pauses.
Try the headset blocker and see if that fixes the problem...I had the exact same issues and this solved the problem about 6 months ago and I haven't had the problem since...just try it and if it doesn't work then it's was free anyway but trust me it will work...
thanks Chronos, tried it, but no, didn't help.
Here's the fu**ing weird thing: i just copied all my music from my sd card to my pc. I then played some music with windows media player......... THE SAME THING HAPPENED! In the middle of a song another song jumped in for 15 seconds and then buggered off. Note that WMP never acknowledged any change, i.e. kept showing song a even when song b had cut in.
WTF? Corrupted files??
If it does the same thing on your PC it's not the phone, it's the MP3 file. Download from a different source. Some people still have trouble ripping/converting music so you get garbage/incomplete MP3 files sometimes.

I agree after some experimentation, but the problem originated on the phone itself. I can see this is the case because song a is polluted with song b and c, where both b and c are present on my phone and are completely unrelated to song a. I just encountered a Joy Division song with chunks of Prince and something else completely alien, but still all are my songs, not just ones that would have been inserted during the encoding process .... I wonder what program did this. I still think gtunes is a candidate, but have no evidence at all, except that in the aforementioned case all three songs were downloaded via gtunes.

[Q] S4 weird sound issue

this has happened with my stock rom and new rom. i am currently running triforce 4.0 but has happened since i owned the phone. basically i listen to pandora a lot while i am working. i pause the song in pandora when i turn off the van. when i hit play the volume is always really low almost to the point where you cannot hear the audio. the sound returns to normal once it gets to the next song or when i receive a text message. I've tried to re download pandora but has not fixed the issue. does anyone else have this problem or a solution to this issue?

[Q] Adjusting volume stops playback

Hi
Ive had a problem with my old S4, and now aparently I have the same problem with my S5.
Whenever I adjust the volume of any playback, the playback stops. This happens no matter what sound adjustment i use (volume keys, headset, or adjust on screen.)
This is quite frustrating as you can emagine, as I have to unlock the phone, and start playback again, to adjust the volume, to start playback to adjust volume, to start playback and so on...
As I have had this problem with both my old S4 and my new S5, I cant really believe that it should be a HW error.
Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution for this issue?
Please help!
I would recommend performing a factory reset to determine whether it is a software or hardware issue.
If it persists you should return it! And maybe consider the LG G3
After reading all about the G3 I kind of regret getting the S5, and plan to potentially get myself a G3.
It has to caused by an app you've installed. I've never seen this behaviour on any of my galaxy devices, and definitely not on my S5. The music carries on playing no matter how or when I adjust the volume.
What music player are you using?

I am using the standard music player - Any ideas on how to find out what app is causing this?
The only way is disable/uninstall all 3rd party apps one by one.
Or get don't pause from the play store. There is a free and paid version.
Edit, I haven't experienced this issue on 9 galaxy phones but I also don't use the stock music player. My theory about the above app is because it automatically puts phone to vibrate it should circumvent this issue..

I have just tried with dont pause, and I still get the issue.
The issue is not related to the standard music player... It pauses no matter what media, or player I am using and no matter how I adjust the volume...
I guess I will have to factory reset and try installing apps one by one after that.. Unless there are any other suggestions?

[Q] Audio muting itself

At random times when i play music there isnt any sound coming out the the headphones. After pausing and playing, changing tracks or scrolling the track it suddenly starts working again. This happens at random times and gets pretty annoying. I have tried different Equilizers but no luck. Right now im using the Noozxoide Eizo rewire pro on xnote 20. Anything i can do to fix this? has anyone else experienced this?
Yep, mine does that occasionally. Haven't been able to pin down the cause as of yet.

Stock, N7, Winamp, Poweramp, Shuttle. All have the issue.
Full firmware reflash & data+cache wipe did nothing to resolve it.
It's not any specific song that has the issue.
Files on the SD or Internal make no difference.
Neither doe the EQ settings, headset vs speaker.
Adapt sound is disabled completely in applications.
It's not overly common (+-Once every 3 days of 12 hours listening), but it does happen.
Also at times it won't play the next song after the last one ended until I hit the power button to turn on the screen. Then it starts.
I suspect it has something to do with the notorious Mediascanner process. It's so bugged it probably gets stuck halfway through.
Yea i've tried mulitple 3rd party music players as well as the stock player. Im starting to think it might be equalizers.. I uninstalled the equilizer i was using which has worked fine for me on the stock music player, however, 3rd party music players still have the problem.

Galaxy Note 3: Media Players turns on by itself...?

for some weird reason, this just started happening in the past month: my media player will just turn on by itself, and plays whatever random file it wants to! i'm just sitting at my desk, the phone is plugged in charging, and music just starts playing!
anyone have this happen? how do i make it stop?
thanks. :-\

I don't the solution for this. As I have never heard of such issues.
But you can try this.
Clear the Music player data from Application Manager.
Go to: Setting--> General--> Application Manager--> All
Look for Music, MusicFX and clear it's data.
Even after trying this it didn't work. Then hard reset might be required.
Thanks.
okay....did that. i'll see if that worked. it happens just occasionally...just every once in a while. very. weird. :-\
thanks!
well....it just did it again! i'm trying to figure out if it's related to any other apps. i have a call blocking app that just "contained" a spam call at the same time; however, it didn't do that yesterday, when the music player went off....
i guess i'll have to watch to see what other apps are active when this happens.....

i did an online chat with samsung, and "force stopped" my music player (which he said is like disabling it). then i made another app my default music player, so hopefuly that will take care of it.
if not, "i'll be bock..." (<---arnold)
@Ms.O
Okay.
Even if you force stop it but once you click on Music player then it will start.
Since Music player can never be disabled. (Unless you are rooted)
I guess any third party app is causing that issue.
You can use Built in blocking mode provided by Samsung.
Thanks.

yes, i noticed that! but i've now made another music app the default for music files, so i'm hoping (fingers crossed) that does the trick. since it's so random, i won't know for sure unless it happens again!

blocking mode on my phone only blocks selectively for notifications, calls, alarms, timer and the LED indicator. there is no option to block only music. and i want to be able to listen to music when i want, just not at random times when the phone decides to play it!
thanks tho....
Maybe you have some audio bluetooth device that connects? When I get into my car and my phone connects with bluetooth audio, the music player also launches and starts to play. You could check your bluetooth pairings to see if it has an audio device. If it does, umpair it and see if it still happens!
Just a thought..
