I recently upgraded from the XDA II to the XDA Exec.
I'm experiencing a recurring (about every 5 seconds) glitch when using WMP to play back audio files (standard .wav files), stored on an SD card, through the Exec speakers. Playback through the earphones is fine.
I've tried another Exec and the speakers problem is still there, making playback of SD audio files through the Exec speakers unusable. This was never a problem with the XDA II.
I'm just wondering is this a problem with *all* Execs or is there something I've overlooked. If anyone out there has experienced smooth playback of audio files (from an SD card) through the Exec speakers I'd be grateful to hear.
Thanks in advance.
i use WMA files without a problem from SD card. why use WAV? aren't they huge? maybe you're not listening to music then.
i use a wave file as a sms alert on my jasjar and sometimes it sounds like it is stuttering. But only like 25% of the time that a sms comes thru. The file is stored in the device it self and not on a sdcard. thought that it might be related to the amount of programs running in the background.
Audio playback on Exec
Thanks a lot for replies.

I've tried both WMA files and WAV files: same Exec speaker playback problem (recurring glitch) with both. Interesting to learn that you don't have this problem with WMA files on your device. Is the Imate device identical in every hardware respect to the Exec? As yet I haven't come across, or heard about, an Exec which plays audio smoothly (from an SD card) through the Exec speakers.
Re. WMA vs Wav vs MP3 I occasionally use WAV because, while admittedly the file size is very large, the WAV format, being uncompressed, preserves the CD quality of the original (i.e. stereo, 16-bit sample resolution, 44.1kHz sample rate).

It's playback from an SD card that concerns me as I'd like to be able to store favourite tracks (and possibly my whole audio collection) as WMA or WAV files on an SD card, especially as SD capacities increase to 4GB and 8GB ......
I'd be very grateful if someone with an *O2 XDA Exec* wouldn't mind trying the following and reporting on if it worked for you:
1) Put an audio file (mp3 or wma or wav) on to an SD card
2) Insert the SD card into your Exec and play the audio file back through the Exec speakers using Windows Media Player
Thanks in advance.
Just tried some mp3's from an SD card on my Exec.
They play fine - no glitches, but quality from the speakers leaves rather a lot to be desired. I normally use earphones.

Thanks a lot Reteb. Much appreciated.
Tried some mp3 & wav files on Exec, no problems at all. They all play fine over the speakers.
Many thanks Reteb and Yen for testing SD-based audio playback through the Exec speakers. I'm going to go back in and get another Exec and hope for the best! At least I now know that, whatever the problem was, it's not a hardware issue across all Execs.
For the record this is exactly what I did:
1. I put some audio files (wav and wma) on to two different SD cards (a Sandisk card and an SD card I bought from Expansys). There was nothing else on the SD cards.
2. I tried both SD cards in my XDA II. No problem with playback of the audio files (using WMP) through the XDA II's speaker.
3. I then tried both SD cards in *two* Execs. No problem with playback through the earphones but a recurring glitch when playing back the files through the Exec speakers.
Hey I did also and had no problem and infact before now from last 4 months I've been listening with XDA Exec (O²) speakers and never noticed any problem except it doesnt have enough BASS as I'd like to have rest is fine !
After I unlocked my phone I am having problems with my headphones. Unable to hear music using the HTC headset adapter. Got it from ebay. Used it with my xv6900, so I know it should work. Also when I use the Windows Media Player to listen to music, it takes 5 seconds to switch tracks. Don't know if i have a bad sd card or what. Anyone have problems with this.
Any comments or suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks.
I have only had my samsung for a day. but i was testing the mp3 player on there and after 2 songs the music stop. i have used the mp3 player that comes with phone and have downloaded another mp3 app. again same problem, the mp3 player is left to play on shuffle and 2 and half songs through it cuts off :-s
has anyone else had this problem? should i notify orange asap about this problem??
is there a problem with the headphones, as i tested them on laptop and the sound came out abit dodgy :-s
any help would be great
Thankyou
I can't help with the MP3 player as I haven't got mine loaded yet, but as far as the headphones are concerned, it appears that the connections to the Samsung headphones are non-standard, so I am not surprised that they sound funny on your laptop.
Several people have complained that expensive after-market headphones do not work on the Galaxy.
Hi Everybody,
Anybody experiencing audio playback skipping for music apps (Google play or Default Asus Music player)?
Audio skipping is only when playing music.
FW Version : WW_12.8.5.118_20150915 (non rooted)
Thank you in advance if there are any solutions.
regards,
Kenneth
Would you like to try this?
Put your music in the internal memory instead of on the External SD card.
Does it solve your skipping problem? It seems to work for me. Please try and let us know.
I have my music on my micro sd card and it plays perfectly with both the default asus music app and Sony Walkman. Only problems occur when using FM Radio and headphones/earphones.

As Hkwildboy said, are you putting your music in an SD Card? Your SD Card may not be fast enough for music playback. If the problems till persists, check app processes and make sure that you have plenty of free ram. There's also the possibility that the audio files itself is the problem, so be sure to test the files on another device and make sure that it's fine.
Hi. I am not sure if this is the correct platform to ask this, but I have a S100 car avn system that does not play any music via USB , it counts down the songs but no sound at all. Any ideas? I tried all sorts of formats and different USB sticks and it looks on the screen like it is playing but no audio. If I write the same songs to cd of DVD it is fine.
I have exactly the same problem...Did anyone find a solution to recover sound when it plays via USB or SD card?
