[ISSUE] Speaker popping DURING audio playback

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.

Google music issues

Google music that came with my tab running 3.1 out of the box isnt recognizing any of my music and closes its self seconds after i open it. I updated the app to 3.0.1 but still no dice. I googled it and i saw some one else that had the same issues but his problems were also not rsolved in his forum. Is there a alternative app that i can use so i can listn to y music?

Try poweramp

Mine had similar issues. It was recognizing all of my music but kept saying "error playing track" and would just randomly close the app after a few seconds. After I upgraded, it now will play the songs but still randomly closes. Trying updating again. Hopefully they resolve this issue quickly. I tried Poweramp but you have to pay for it.

Power amp! I'm using it now. I have never had a better quality sounding mp3 player.the controls for bass and trebble are amazing. You can pre amp it even harder if you have head phones that require more juice then stock tablet allows. This just made me go from hating the tablet to being inlove

I know why
I had the same issue, then i tried loading my music using kies and noticed that it put the music in sdcard/sounds and not the music folder. So after loading music using other methods into the sounds folder the music app plays it.
sounds stupid, but that's how it is

I just tried Poweramp...it's [email protected]#$% awesome. Definitely worth the price. Plus, gotta get these devs motivated to make more useful apps, right?!

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

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.....

ghost

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..

issues with music player and pandora

Coming from the N6,I really love this phone. My biggest issues are music player,it stops playing over Bluetooth after a few songs which is really annoying even third party apps do the same. Pandora is my second issue. Most times when selecting the app,it just freezes and I gotta close it out and reopen it. Also after a song or 2 plays it will completely close itself. Quite annoying issues. Anyone having these problems?
