Really strange phono audio problem

Hi guys, I have noticed that the DHD has some issues with audio playing. I have noticed that sometimes, when using the HTC Music app and switching sound enhancements the app sometimes crashes, or audio stops completely forcing me to restart the device.
Also yesterday I was out driving for about 4 hours. I had Car Tunes app playing music and CoPilot Live 8 running for my SatNav, with the DHD plugged into my car audio using phono. I noticed that after unplugging and plugging in the audio cable, the audio would become very erratic. Car Tunes would always play audio full volume, but CoPilot (voice) would vary from being almost inaudible to full volume. This just seemed to happen randomly and would correct itself every now and again, then 'break' then 'fix' over and over.
On my way home yesterday the audio in both CoPilot and Car Tunes stopped working while plugged into phono. Audio is perfect without phono, but when phono is plugged in no audio can be heard. This is pretty strange as system sounds screen lock, volume adjust tone, etc. all work fine with phono plugged in.
I have noticed the sound enhancements crash bug with my 2 previous DHD devices as well as this one. One thing I have done to this is S-Off and BUZZ oc-uv 1.28 kernel.
Recap:
Yesterday while plugging phono in and out over and over (using satnav and leaving/re-entering car) audio would randomly become high/low in CoPilot only. Testing other music apps (to find satnav audio problem) found that Music app crashes/kills all audio/causes reboot of device when activating/chaing sound enhancement.
And now...
Phono out
- all sound works
Phono in
- no music audio (any app)
- no video audio (any app)
- no apps sound (Angry Birds, NFS game, etc)
- CoPilot voice OK
- system sounds OK
- if audio is playing before phono, when phono plugged in audio can be heard for split second
Has anybody else had issues like these? It doesnt seem to be a broken phono jack as some audio does come through it. I'm not up to speed with Android enough to know what handles different types of audio, or what could be the issue.

Does nobody else have any issue like this?
Could anybody who is up to speed with Android advise if this would be a corrupted system file of some description?

Well I didn't read all, but I think something is wrong when CoPilot is running...
On another day I was driving and playing music at same time, using the headset out to pluggin to my car. I needed to use GPS and start CoPilot. Selected a route and when the voice needed to say something the music simply was muted (or paused) ...
I didn't try too much cause CoPilot start to freeze my device and eventually I had to reset the phone with much difficulty...
Probably CoPilot is the culprit of all this
I have to try another gps program. Going to test Ndrive.
I miss so much iGO (it's not on sale for general users) and TomTom (not at all)

OK so another update on this.
Today I was out on another 5 hour journey and had CoPilot operating perfectly all day through my car audio (using phono). After around 3.5hrs of driving I got held up in very heavy traffic and was pretty much stationery so I decided to put on Youtube to pass the time with a few quick videos and noticed no audio was coming from it either so I used the volume buttons to make sure audio was at full.......turns out it was all the way down to mute!! This shouldnt have been as I always have youtube (and media volume in general) up to full. So I turn it up and it worked perfectly again. So I thought I would try my luck and test music....it was also now working flawlessly!!
This is really peculiar as I know I checked the volume of Car Tunes, HTC Music and Rockplayer numerous times each, before and after device reboots the other day when it wasnt working. It seems that all of a sudden the audio is now working again through phono, without any device reboots or reconfiguration of any kind.
One thing though.........I'm now back to having the high music / low CoPilot voice issue again.
Perhaps this may be some sort of CoPilot issue affecting audio on Android ?
Would love to hear some feedback or suggestions on this one lol

[Q] Bluetooth headphone issue - audio playback

Hey everyone, just upgraded to the atrix, loving the phone so far but I've recently come across an issue and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem (or can explain why it occurs):
when listening to audio I turn off the screen and about 2-5 minutes in (sometimes more, sometimes less) the audio just stops. The headset doesn't disconnect, the music just cuts out and when I bring up the music player and hit play it just starts it over from the beginning. However if I leave the screen on the entire time I'm playing audio, it never cuts out
I use a motorola S305 bluetooth headset, the files are .mp3 format and I've tried playing them from SDcard and internal phone storage..they played perfectly fine on my HTC HD2 with the same headset so it's not the files themselves or the headset. Anyone else have this issue?

Interesting. I noticed the same thing last night. Doesn't always do that, but I thought it was weird when it did. I'm using the same s305 headset.

I was just about to post this! it's so annoying. It will play fine forever until i turn the screen on to do something, then it turns off the audio like 3 minutes into the song. what's worse, it's not pausing it, it's stopping it. if you check the music player, the position on the song will be reset. very annoying for audio books!
I just tested it playing thru the phone speaker and it shuts off in about 3 minutes as well, doesn't seem to be related to bluetooth at all.

Is the player added to your ignore list in any task manager/killer?

Personally, i've tried 3 players, the stock music player,Mixzing and Poweramp. all three do exactly the same thing. No task killers installed, with the built in task manager, it's not added to the kill list. I'm rooted btw.

I am having a similar problem to this and I was just about to post, when streaming via bluetooth to my car stereo using Pandora, my phone will completely freeze and after maybe 1 min of freeze will do a complete reboot. I even restored phone and it still does it.

[Q] Bluetooth stops streaming audio

It seems there are a lot of bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4. I couldn't find a thread with my issue, so here goes.
While streaming audio to my bluetooth car stereo, everything works great, the audio quality is good and the controls on the unit work. However, if I touch the phone screen to control the music instead of the stereo, the audio stops streaming 50% of the time, and won't come back on until I restart the bluetooth connection. An example is that I'm listening to Pandora, and I thumbs down a song, it skips, starts playing the song, but there is no audio. The bluetooth controls still work, just no audio. Same with YouTube if I skip to the next video in a playlist or skip the ad. Also in Play Music it happens, and even in Google Now. With Google Now, sometimes when I hit the microphone, it will just sit there initializing, and if I hit back and try again, it just stays initializing until I disconnect bluetooth, which it then turns on the recognition twice.
It is only from interacting with the phones screen instead of using the bluetooth device. I can't see it being the bluetooth device, anyone else have this issue?

Its not the phone its jelly bean. This issue has been adressed and will be fixed 'in the next version of android' that's what Google said but its a known issue and annoying.

Alright, thank you. I couldn't find anything on the internet, I kept getting different bluetooth issues.

Yeah hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather then later.

Nexus 4 Audio Stops/Pauses Frequently

I am new to Android, I recently migrated from the iPhone, and am enjoying my Nexus 4 very much.
My Nexus would be nearly perfect, if I did not regularly experience an audio playback glitch.
Randomly, audio playback pauses. The audio sometimes pauses after just 2 minutes of listening, and at other times occurs after 10-15+ minutes of listening... with the screen off. The audio pauses when using any of my multiple pairs of headphones, and even via Bluetooth streaming audio. I believe the issue has also occurred when using the built-in speaker. The audio pauses when streaming via wifi networks and AT&T 3G.
The audio pauses when using the following music apps: Google Play Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, Beyond Pod.
Sometimes the audio resumes when I press the power button. Sometimes I have to unlock the device and the audio resumes. Sometimes I have to press "play" again from the App.
I would love to be able to play uninterrupted audio from my Nexus.
Note: The issue occurred on 4.2.2, and still persists on 4.3.
I have searched for a solution many times, in multiple sources, but have been unsuccessful. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

No Bluetooth after call....?

Wierd issue. Use to work but not now. When I'm on Bluetooth and take or make a phone call on Bluetooth... And then after the call try and play media through Bluetooth, it won't have sound. Max volume. Shows as playing. But nothing. Not even through phone speaker. It's as if the dialer app didn't release the Bluetooth control after the call.
Only way to fix is to turn off Bluetooth and back on.
Anyway to fix?

I had this happen once or twice, but not recently. I use bluetooth in my car but my factory radio in my car only has BT for calls, not music. I have a small A2DP device that plays music through the AUX in on the radio. A few times if I took a call via BT for the car, when the call ended the music wouldn't resume. I'd go to Spotify and it showed as playing but no sound came out. I never tried resetting bluetooth because when I'm driving it's easier to just hold power until the phone reboots, then it works fine.

mine does it when I'm using the amazon music player, doesn't matter if I'm on a call or not. Every now and then it just stops sending audio to the radio. If I turn the phone on, the lockscreen shows that the song is playing, but zero audio.
If I pause / play / pause on the lockscreen it usually resumes playing. Very odd issue. Still better than the problems I was having with my note4.

I've seen this issue on android for years. I'll have the same issue if I say Okay Google and Google doesn't recognize what I say.
