Everything was fine and dandy for me with 4.3 MK2, but with towelroot out I figured now was a good time as any to update. Update to 4.4.2 NAE was fine using Odin, except now I'm having some audio related issues that I'm wondering if it's because of NAE or if it's because of an update gone wrong (corrupt piece somewhere). Basically experiencing two issues
one - audio skips every now and then even when I'm not actively using the phone. This is happening to me in Rocket Player, Spotify. I'll have music playing, screen off, and for no reason I can see the audio skips. Immediately after the skip I'll check CPU usage using CoolTool's graph and don't really see any big spikes.
two - while in Rocket Player, MX Player, VLC or Spotify if I press the volume up button the system freezes for about 6-8 seconds before the app is responsive again. during this I can switch back to the Home screen, but the app I was in is unresponsive. this is even when I'm in the app, but not actively using the app (no music/movie is being played). if I have music playing, but I switch to the Home screen, the button works fine.
anyone run into either of these two problems?

Before you all yell at me for making another thread about this (I know one exists, that's what I originally found when I searched), this is a different issue.
I'm sitting here in my office at work playing music off my TF, and everything goes well for a while. Then about 30 minutes in, the speakers will start constantly popping during playback. It starts out softly, then gets progressively worse (to the point where it sounds like a dirty record).
However, the first time it happened, I held down the power button and rebooted the TF and that fixed it. Then about 30 minutes later, it started happening again. So instead of rebooting, I decided to try force stopping the Music app (I'm using Google's Music) to see if it's a software issue. And boom, the popping is gone after restarting Music. Weird. Because it sounds like it should be a hardware issue... but restarting the app making the audio seems to fix it. Next time it happens I'll try just opening up Youtube and seeing if it persists.
Anyone else getting this? I'm on stock un-rooted 3.1.
Hey, I seem to have this problem as well,
and only in the Music App.
I'm using headphone to listen to music,
and it just happened about 5 minutes ago,
I decided to unplug the headphone and replug it and it seem to fix the problem,
and then when it happened again, I switched to the Youtube app immediately and the sound was perfectly normal in Youtube.
So I'm suspecting its actually the Music app's issue.
may I ask if you are listening to music you stored online or from your device?
Are you streaming the music? Using any apps like equalizer or volume+?
Also happened to me today for the first time...and I am using volume+
I guess ill turn it off if it happens again and see if its that.
This happens to me when listening to music and the transformer sleeps, it takes a good 3 minutes then finally changes tracks. Once changed though I get this cracking nose also.

Same thing happens to me only when listening to google music. Will play normally at times, then popping will suddenly happen. I've listened to Squeezebox streams on my TF for extended periods with no popping, so I also suspect it has something to do with google music.
It would be nice to narrow down the cause and come up with a workaround.
used to have this problem when using older version of thumb keyboard, the typing sound produced this cracking noise. but fixed when I upgrade the thumb keyboard ;-)
+1 here.
Headphones, using Music player. I'm not using any special other apps to boost volume output. My headphones work just fine with any other device.
Unplugging and reconnecting the headphones seems to fix the issue. I haven't tested to see if this is exclusively with just the Music app or not.

Same issue, unplugging headphones fixes.
Running an OC kernel w/ Voodoo Sound, and Prime 1.4. Kinda points to an issue with software, I don't think i can blame the Player, more like the drivers/OS. Getting into a grove coding, i left my headphones on with no songs playing, and there was still an occasional crackle.
Really bummed, because this is a sweet music playback device with quality headphones and an amp'd signal.
Update: Flashed Asus 3.1 with CW Recovery mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112527) and popping gone. Still running OC kernel.
I have a 2013 Volkswagen and can't seem to get Bluetooth media controls responding correctly. Everything plays/pauses just fine when I control it via the phone itself while connected to Bluetooth, but if I try to use the car's touch screen pause/play, sometimes it will pause for 2-3 seconds then start playing again by itself, sometimes it will pause as normal, but then pushing play won't resume playback. If a notification plays, playback pauses for the notification, then never resumes. Coming from a VZW gnex running CM10.2 and everything was working as expected with that device. Tried the LG music app, ES media player, google play music, beyondpod -- also tried disabling the LG Music app. Everything seems to have the same issue. Anyone else have any problems with this and maybe found a workaround?
Thanks.

I just updated my unrooted Note 3 to Lollipop 5.0 and I noticed some strange behaviour that I didn't experience with KitKat. When I play music through any sort of bluetooth device, the display won't timeout. It will just stay on as long as the music is playing. If I pause the music, the screen will eventually timeout to whatever it's set at (I set it at 15 seconds just for testing purposes). This doesn't happen when using ordinary headphones plugged into the phone. This also doesn't happen if just playing the music through the speakers. The issue happens on all music apps.
I also have another problem that might be related. When I have a bluetooth device connected, I can't raise the volume past 10. The volume warning dialog box would pop up really quick, then go away.
I was just wondering if anyone else can do a test and see if they experience the same problem.
*UPDATE*
I eventually did a factory reset and it fixed all the issues I mentioned above.
*UPDATE 2*
Found out it was actually the app called "Don't Pause Pro!" that was causing the issues.
One if the better features on marshmallow was to allow the connection of Bluetooth head phones for audio, within regular apps this works flawlessly such as youtube, crunchyroll and the lean back launcher. Within Kodi there is always a silence gap of anywhere from a few seconds to 20 seconds at the beginning of anything been played, even if it does start to work as soon as you skip or pause the silence is back. I can see there were people complaining about this issue months ago and then nothing so I'm wondering if I've screwed something or people just don't use bluetooth headphones.
Currently I'm using the latest stock marshmallow and the official Kodi v16 (though I've tried them all with the same outcome). Also it happens with any file format.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I think it has something to do with the quality of the streams in kodi or the cache size. However, I have no idea how to resolve it. What I do is I start the movie with earphones turned off and once it is playing then I turn on the earphones and it works. If I pause I lose the audio again.
Happens everyday (even with my S6). It'll stop when audio is playing for a bit, or after I hit the volume button. It doesn't do it constantly through out the day, but it'll happen atleast once everyday i'm listening to audio. Anyone else?
Anyone?
It is happening with my S8 either when playing games or youtube and even music.
This problem started after the software update. So i think it is a software issue..
Whenever the sound cut off, i just lock the screen and unlock it back....
Hope Samsung will release a software update as soo as possible
Games is fine for me, it's just players like YouTube, music apps, and players inside websites. Just gotta press play again. Pretty annoying, but happens atleast once a day, not constantly through out the day.
It happens to me in Youtube and NBA app when video is being played.
Sometimes the screen just shuts off completely too.
I agree it's not consistent.
To add, sound not working sometimes when i am using skype and even sometimes for my alarms.
What do you think, is it a software problem or hardware?
Seems to happen more through out the day now. It's pretty annoying.
This just started happening to me yesterday. I've tried restarting my phone, pausing the video and playing it again, turning the volume all the way down then back up. All of those things restore the sound but it'll cut out a few seconds later. Also audio plays just fine in my headphones.
I dont have my s8 yet, but this sounds like a problem I used to have on a previous galaxy s phone (i think it may have been the s4). It turned out I had a setting enabled where the player pauses or stops when I'm not looking at the screen. It's called smart pause. Could be something similar although i'm not sure.
Uggg
Same problem here. Got the s8 less than a week ago and I use spotify offline (downloaded) and Google Music for downloaded files and it always pauses after about 15 minutes, sometimes sooner. I don't use battery saver, and none of the 'smart' features are enabled. It happens with headphones, without headphones, on Bluetooth. Just pauses the song and I have to hit play again, super annoying and I can't find any fix. I'm really regretting this purchase.
I also have S8 and currently experiencing this kind of issue. Every after 1 minute of playing either youtube or videos on my phone it paused and I didn't even clicked it.
I have a problem like this on my s7edge. Then I thought it can be related third party apps. And yes when I uninstall Sputnik news app, it solves the problem.
