Alucard Music Skip Issue - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a issue with the latest copy of Alucard (1.4h) and Cyanogenmod Nighlies (13th Oct) whenever I listen to my music i have an problem with it skipping, not skipping per-say but cutting out for about half a second at a time, maybe like 5 times per song.
I've had an issue like this before within google play edition and it turned out to be an issue with Ktweaker so i'm guessing it's an issue within stweaks but hey I could be wrong.
I don't want to change RoM's again but I might have to if I can't fix this as its highly annoying and I listen to music alot, any help would be appreciated.
Cheers in advance

PowerAmp Music Player + Xtreme Kernal = issues?

When playing music via PowerAmp, and then going into Google Talk the music cuts off. It will play fine until I enter Google Talk and then it will shut off and I'll have to go into it and restart the song I was listening to.
I've also noticed that when listening to music in the stock music player my music will randomly stop as well. I never had any issues until I flashed Xtreme kernal a few days ago and now I cant listen to music consistently. And that is very important to me.
Is anyone else having this issue? If it turns out to be an issue with the way my phone is responding to the kernal, how do I go about flashing back to the stock kernal?
I had similar issues with every music player I tried just stopping randomly. I thought it was Syndicate ROM, as I was getting the same problems with both Extreme Kernel and Phoenix Kernel. I assumed I just had a bad install somehow since no one else in the ROM thread seem to have that problem when I posted about it. However, music players have been working fine on the various Froyo builds I've tried, so I quit worrying about it and didn't really do any thorough testing.

music skipping while browsing

Does anyone else suffer from music skipping and stuttering while browsing our using pulse? At first I thought it might be because I was streaming from Google music but the problem persists even when playing music from my device. I'm running the latest paranoid android build with the faux kernel. Any suggestions?

I had that same problem. I love PA and used it as my daily driver for a long time. Than I started having that audio problem while playing my audio books. I found this extremely annoying and unacceptable. I am finally pop and click free running PerfectRom 2.1
I would of thought the stuttering is from the browser using too much system resources leaving the music player wanting.

Bluetooth media help

I have done some searching and can not find any help so I come to you the experts. I have a Galaxy s4 running FreeGS4 v2.0.0 with the 3.4.10 agat_Freegs4 kerenal. The problem only seems to show up when I have Bluetooth connected and also only seems to happen when I have a custom kernal installed. when I am using my stock media player it will randomly pause, advance to next song, rewind to previous song, or increase/decrease volume. The problem seems to get more and more frequent the longer I use the app. When I reboot the phone it seems to go away for awhile then comes back. I had this same trouble when I had my galaxy s3 as well. Is it possible that it is a setting I have wrong when running a custom kernel? or maybe it is is not even related to the kernel and I am just betting on the wrong hand? Please help because this is really annoying.

Audio gaps

Anyone else experiencing audio gaps while playing music with screen off?
App doesn't seem to matter (Play Music, N7, ...), Boeffla Sound enabled, Eargasm preset, no saturation prevention, no privacy mode, earphones and speaker boosted and optimised.
Any obvious suspects? Any hints anyone?
NB: Yes, I do use a custom kernel, but I can't tell who's the culprit, so I ask for others experiences to allow to find the cause of it.

Hi
I do not know if this is related but since I installed Omni (coming from latest AOKP); I have issues with my Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth receiver, i use poweramp and I experience a lot of skips when playing music (poweramp is set to automatically turn off the screen after a few seconds); I increased buffer size, poweramp priority, bluetooth priority but the skips remain... Playing thru headphones directly plugged in is ok
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well, and I've managed to narrow down what's wrong, but still haven't been able to fix it or find out what's causing it. I'm using stock kernel with the latest nightly on a GS4 i9505.
The issue seems to be that the device is constantly going into Deep Sleep mode. Go into the Performance tab in Settings (unlock Developer Mode first, I think) and have a look at the Time In State data. Right now, for 12h of uptime, my phone is showing 8h of Deep Sleep, despite me using it as GPS and listening to Audiobooks for most of the work day. Even more, it's been happening while I am actually USING the device.
Additionally, it's reporting that my Max CPU speed is 0 MHz, with Min at 486 MHz. Any time I put the slider up to full (or anything, really), it forgets it and goes back down to 0. I've changed Governer and Scheduler, and even used other tweaking apps to control the kernel, but nothing seems to stick.
On the whole, I'd really not mind too much except I listen to audio books while I'm working/driving, and having it skip and stutter because the phone is struggling to process the audio is exceedingly frustrating.
Going to take a closer look around for this, now that I know what the issue is. Putting it up here so you guys can look as well.
Cheers.
