hi im new here (and to the whole android thing)
my kindle fire has some serious audio syncing issues (i.e. in ALL games sound effects are played to late) and i dont seem the only one as google told me.
so i decided to try the CM7 to see if that fixes my issues, it does not.
is that a problem i have to live with? can i do something about it? what causes it?
thanks in advance for your help!
I have that issue too. I can't even normally play in rythm-game Osu! cuz audio sync is not correct
on all firmwares.
as i cant post in the other thread, will i have audio with latest cm9 rom? like JackpotClavin110112.zip
edit: well i do, but not in game
no.. Audio and Video not supported now.

As the previous poster has stated, ICS in it's current form has audio issues. It would be helpful to know which ROMs are you having the issue on? (ie. Amazon stock rom, CM7, ICS). If you're having the issue on all of them, especially with the stock rom it may potentially be a local hardware issue unless everyone else on the stock rom is having the same problem....
issues are with stock rom and with any other 2.3.x based rom i have tried.
other seem to have this issue too (and even contacted) amazon which promised to fix this issue with the latest update but didnt.
i also found game developer posts stating this is an android 2.3.x issue.
promised to fix and didn't? amazon.....
Seems to be a rather odd situation. Your kindle fire with stock firmware is having audio issues while the majority of other kindle fire's do not..
I don't know what type of media is presenting the issue, but it if works perfectly in another Kindle fire with the same exact software, then I can only conclude it's a hardware issue specific your device (and some others). Might we worth a shot to have them replace the device..
i guess it happens to all kindles, maybe not all users have noticed
please take a look at this video, you can see the problem at the very beginning
(as im new i cant link to sites, its on youtube /watch?v=U6MaGr4FCN8)
it shows angry birds as first games, see when the bird is pulled back an when the sound effect for it plays. see when the bird is launched and when the sfx plays, see when the bird hits the target and when the sfx plays.
some with every other game i have tried. on every rom i have tried.
this cant be an hardware issue can it?
The only time I have audio sync issues on the stock rom is with Netflix.
I am using ics right now and have no sound sync issues when the sound works lol.
Also, hats off to jackpotclavin, hashcode, hewhohas and everyone else that is working on ics.
Btw this was typed on my fire with ics.
Everything was perfect when i was on Android 4.3, any skype calls working, video/audio doesn't matter.
But when i updated my wife's phone to kitkat, some skype calls making phone reboot(black screen, then its loading as usual).
It happens not always. And i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).
When she talks to anyone on 7&8 Windows - everything is perfect.
I have tried all custom roms, original, rooted\not rooted, anything.
I gonna write this issue to Skype too.
Skype support asked that Skype not supporting KitKat yet.
Btw it only happens on Nexus 4, when i'm on my phone (XT910) on KitKat, it works and not hangs.
In my case occurs the same...I believe is maybe kit Kat by itself and usually happens when I leave a call in the background while I use another application. Unfortunately I haven't found any solution for that.
i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).

Not really. The problem is a bit more serious: all ROMs (stock and custom) based on 4.3 or 4.4 are affected by this overly annoying camera bug. I obviously hope you're not, but if you end up as unlucky as I did, your camera and LED flash will soon become totally unusable (on all applications), fixable only by reverting to 4.2 or updating to L (I did and it's totally worth it)
Good luck :good:
Also another issue with Skype and N4 is that whrn listening to music and an image is being sent / received in the Skype chat window, fetching that image from the gallery/disk causes the audio system to crash. It's really annoying. Probably it's the same issue as the well-known audio stutters on changing connectivity and high cpu load.
Im using the Verizon G2 and running 4.4 2...xdabebb rom..i use skype a lot for business calls and havent come across this issue at all. On unrooted stock as well as custom. Ive also faced no issues on an S4 i9500...so it might not really be a kit kat issue but a nexus 4 specific...or an aosp based rom specific issue

I have another kind of issue with my xiaomi Mi2 with MIUI Rom on kitkat 4.4.4. I have systematically a black screen when the communication is established on Skype also using test sound server. The sound is working but I can't do nothing with the phone until the end of communication decided by my correspondant.. Very annoying . I have post the question to Skype 5 days ago but no answer. Skype was working properly on my phone on miuiv5 android 4.1.2

I'm having the exact same problem ... I was talking on Skype video call and the phone screen went black and I couldn't hear the other party.. I don't if they were able to hear me or not. I had to hold the power button and reboot my phone manually. I don't know what the problem is but its very annoying and it happened three times in a row. I have used multiple ROMs and it was happening on all of them and they were all 4.4.4. I don't flash kernels, I just use the kernels that come with ROM because they have obviously been tested and have been found compatible with the rom. So I know its not because of kernels. Currently I'm on Slimkat latest weekly and was thinking about going back to stock but someone said its also happening on stock ROM. I'm going to try CM11 and see if it happens there as well. Will report back soon. Hopefully it's just a 4.4.4 issue and not a phone issue.

So is there any ROM for the Moto G without at least 2 or 3 major problems? Every ROM I use, 4.2 or 4.4 has either no music audio (Apollo crashes instantly), "No APN specified on the device," can't send MMS, Bluetooth won't even turn on, ridiculously slow gaming graphics (4.4 only), etc. What the heck is the point? FRUSTRATING.
Even worse I can't find a clear thread anywhere for any of these fixes, although I understand the audio problem is ongoing.
Have tried CM11, OmniRom, SlimKat on my Boost Mobile XT1031.
What is the most reliable ROM out there? I'm about to install a rooted stock.
If you read all the threads, you can get a pretty good picture of it.
So for now stock rom is the most stable one.
CrDroid B11 is good one, never had problems with it. And my device is xt1032
Best ROM threads are not allowed, neither is posting questions in the General section.
Thread closed.
Situation
Bought Nexus 4 refurbished, works great except for this issue. Back speaker works great, Google Search works with mic (Ok Google). Updated via OTA all the way to 5.0. Am using phone on a carrier in Ecuador.
Problem
When making a phone call over the local carrier, call connects (you can see the counter on screen), music, if playing, pauses as it should. But no audio from the earpiece, and the other side does not hear anything from my side. Tried putting call on speaker, nothing. Tried with headphones, nothing. However, when making a Hangouts call over data, mic/earpiece work fine. To me, this means the hardware functions, so it must be software related. The phone sends SMS without issue, so it works with the local carrier. Also data works without any issue.
What I've done so far
Searched high and low, and it seems this is a somewhat common problem that some have fixed in many different ways. Please let me know if you know of another that I may have missed.
Downgrading to 4.4.4
Upgrading back to 5.0
Factory Reset
Flash 5.0 Factory image
Upgrade to 5.0.1
Flash complete 5.0.1 Factory image
Flashed latest CM11 nightly
Tried several "solutions" found on Google Group forum, such as pluging headphones in and out
Flashed Hybrid modem with included audio fix
Switched SIM cards
Installed SoundAbout, and tried many different options - redirecting Phone Audio, even changing options for Headset detection (thought the phone was confused, thinking the headphones were in)
Tested mic with recording apps and by recording videos, all work fine.
Installed PAC-ROM without Gapps to see if it was the Google Play Services issue
Disabled the CheckInService
I think I've tried more, but can't remember them all. It's been over a week, and can't answer or make phone calls.
Coming to my wits end, and it's extremely frustrating since it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, and I hate giving up on something I can fix. Any suggestions?
(Edited and added a couple more tests to the list)
yep, you are not the only one with this issue, it started to plague users just recently, including me and from what i've learned so far it has got something to do with google play services.
however for me, flashing 5.0/5.0.1 resolved it (i only encountered it on CM4.4.4 )
here is another topic bout this. good luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/audio-call-nexus-4-cm11-t2924589
ps. this thread i linked above acutally contains some solution/workaround involving disabling one of the google play services. just read through the whole thread
If this is really about Google Services, try installing a ROM without adding GApps. You can then state if they are really the culprit here.
I too had the exact same problem. I was on CM 4.4.4 nightlies. Moving to stock lollipop5.0 solved the problem.

I tried that too. I installed PAC-ROM, the latest nightly, without GAPPS. Booted fine, all seems to be working except sound in calls.
I also tried disabling the CheckIn Service, as was mentioned in the other thread, still no luck. So frustrating!!
I'll try them all again...
HijoProdigo,
+1 on flashing a 5.0 ROM.
Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back. After messing with the phone for three days, flashing a Lollipop ROM solved the issue (I used CM12 unofficial nightlies)

I'll give it a try. I had tried with the official CM11, both with and without Gapps, but no luck.
Okay so I'm gonna describe my problem as clearly as possible and will hope someone can find a fix for this.
Device: Nexus 6P
OS: Android 6.0.1 (latest vendor & security patch - June 2016)
Bluetooth devices used: Sony MDR 600BT, SOL republic tracks air, jbl synchros earphones, jbl flip 2 speaker.
1) pair earphones/speakers
2) start playing music on earphones/speakers
3) works fine on first run and when screen is off
4) when I switch on my screen to change the song the music stutters for 10 full seconds, then stuttering stops.
5) I change the song and again put screen off, works fine.
6) i put my phone in my pocket and suddenly my phone audio stops skipping??? Wtf???
7) so I change my pocket and put it in my hoodie pocket. (Nearer to earphones - maybe distance is the problem I thought)
8) audio still skips............:crying:
9) put my screen on to change song, audio starts stuttering again like crazy and then stops.
10) I request anyone here to heed this request and tell me how to workaround this problem
Currently running latest android MM 6.0.1 and no improvement .....:crying:
I don't understand one thing - top of the line flagship device and still these problems? Not getting value for my hard earned money. This is wrong.
I tried it with my iPod and it works like a charm. No stutters. No skips. Nothing.
Tried different Bluetooth headphones too in case my Sony earphones were the problem. NO IMPROVEMENT SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS.
TRIED USING IT ON ANY BLUETOOTH SPEAKER THE ABOVE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING AND I AM GETTING REALLY ANNOYED WITH THIS PHONE WHEN IT COMES TO BLUETOOTH.
I'm sorry for agonizing so much. But I hope you'll can understand my problem. And hopefully there's a fix somewhere in the world.
I am having the same issue, and my searches came up with this:

Is this a Play Music issue? I don't have these issues, but I don't use Play Music. usually stream through YouTube or something like that instead. Works on BT Headset and Sony BT head unit in my car.

I can't speak for Zapjack12345, but I notice it with PowerAmp, Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, basically any app that is pushing audio through bluetooth. Audio is fine when the screen is off, but as soon as I pick up the phone, and turn it on to check notifications, things get screwy with the audio
Strange. I just checked with Pandora, YouTube, and IheartRadio and all seem fine with screen off and turning it on, using the pulldown menu, or changing songs. I'm using a cheap set of bluetooth earbuds from Amazon (no-name brand), and am stock with the phone, not rooted (yet) and on June updates. Phone was purchased in May new from Best Buy.
Same issue for me as well. I'm specifically using Amazon and Pandora most of the time. Its very annoying. On Chroma and franco kernel.
What rom are you using? This has been a well documented CM rom issue so any rom that uses CM as a base will and has had this issue since mid-January. Stock and AOSP based roms dont have this issue (from what I've seen and tried).
I'm currently using the 6/15 nightly for OMNIrom and do not have these issues.
As a sidenote, this was also an issue with Android N Dev Preview 2.

I'm currently on Pure Nexus 5/6/16. Nothing out of the ordinary installed. Tried clearing the Bluetooth cache, as the issue I am noticing was similar to issues that the Samsung S5 was having, but there was no difference.
I am going to look to go back to stock and see what happens, but looking at what OP posted, it looks like they're on stock, and having the same issue.
I am about to throw my phone in the sea. BT seems like it's getting worse and worse with each update. Cmon Google/Huawei. Don't make me lose faith.

I had a little less issues when using the Dev Preview 3 but there was another issue that arised that I hope gets fixed.
If you're using bluetooth when driving around when you lose signal or drop/gain data connection the audio skips for a quick second. Through past testing I've done working with kernel devs on 2 phones, the issue is related to how the hotplugging works for the cores. If only one core is running when the connection drops there is an issue with how the cpu ramps up and/or turns on another core to handle the workload. I thought this regression was pretty interesting seeing as one the things they were boasting about at the Google conference was how android would fix slow downs and issues when losing/gaining network connectivity with N. Hopefully it'll be fixed before final release.

You and me both. I am on my 3rd 6P and my BT problems are still the same. If the BT problems were only effecting one particular device I could understand but my Microsoft band, BT earbuds and car all seem to disconnect continuously on a bare/stock phone.
Okay guys. I changed my ROM from Resurrection Remix to Paranoid Android and this issue has been solved. Thank you so much for all your help and answers!
Does anyone else have any updates regarding this issue? Literally wanted to throw my phone out of the window during the morning commute.

Don't use cm based roms

Yep, this is 100% the reason. It is a CM issue. AOSP roms like Paranoid Android and Pure Nexus don't have this issue. I love Resurrection Remix, but this is starting to bug me. I may jump to PA rom soon...

Thanks. Was about to ask this question. It is a CM issue.
I have had issues with BT dropping randomly in my car on 2 different 6P's. No rhyme or reason, and it doesn't happen often, but annoying when it does. Happened on MM and DP4 currently.
On the flip side, my audio quality went down on my S7E over BT when my smartwatch was connected. Somehow, that doesn't happen with the 6P meaning I can keep my watch on in the car, so I am happy.
Hey, I just found this thread and surprised it took me this long considering I've been having this issue since I got my phone in November.
My 64gb 6P was stock until earlier this week, when I finally rooted and flashed xposed. The issue stopped the day I rooted my phone, and I was thrilled.
After reinstalling most of my apps and getting back into my routine, the problem came back. I've tried booting my phone into safe mode several times before rooting so I'm fairly confident the issue doesn't exist because of a specific app interaction, but I can't figure out what it is to save my life. I might backup again and restore to the backup I made right after rooting to see if I can narrow down the problem.
Other than that, I am very new to this stuff and honestly just thrilled to have found other people having the same issue.
I only experience the problem while connected to my car (2015 Chevy Cruze), and not any other bluetooth device.
Let me know if you guys find/have found anything I suppose?
I kinda have up on trying to narrow down the issue. I tried PureNexus, Paranoid Android, I tried different kernels, different cases. Still kept skipping and jumping, no matter how far, or close it was to my Bluetooth device (car stereo, speakers, home audio system). I went back to stock, no root, no Xposed, pure and simple Android, and I have not had a single issue, it's beautiful.
