Audio Gurggle, Pop, or Crackle Fix - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently started having issues with my new XT1575 where the audio would pop constantly in some apps and specifically when I placed the phone next to my ear during a call. Pulling it away from my face would make the gurggle disappear. After much poking and tinkering I found a way to fix it. There is a bug in the Audio Effects app that is causing the problem. Disabling the app fixed all of my popping, gurggling and crackling in audio.
To disable the app:
Go to settings -> apps -> (make sure "All apps" is selected) tap Audio Effects -> Disable
Just sharing in case this helps anyone else.

I think there is no need to disable it. Enter google play music settings-->equalizer and disable deep bass in the speakers. I think the deep bass preset by default is what causes the noises.
In my moto g 2015 i access equalizer through android settings, but in moto x I only found it via google play music.

I don't think it had anything to do with the bass levels. I only say that because proximity to my head seemed to cause the noises during phone calls. If i pulled the phone just 2 inches from my ear they stopped and voice was crystal clear again.

Hi all. Problem from this topic isn't so annoying for me. But from Marshmallow update I have an issue with audio files playing. I have my own sound for incoming calls (mp3 file) and for notifications (ogg file) and every few days my moto just stopping play any sounds. Incoming calls are quite (just vibration). When I try play any mp3 file with Play Music app it says me that there is problem with playing file. The only way to fix it for some short time is restart the phone.
I did twice wipe and after that was about 2-3 weeks OK. It's very annoying issue and I can't find any solution.
Can someone help me, please? Thank you all in advance.

Did you try different file formats?

No problems overe here.
But I only listen to 320kpbs MP3's or flac or wave.
Only good quality will come trough my speakers.
using good quality music will also help with that problem

Actually I tried different file format - mp3 and ogg files. It looks like phone has problem with playing any music files. I have all files on internal storage.
Corcerning quality I have also 320kbps mp3 files.

For me the main concern is not playing of audio files -- it's the phone audio during calls. The problem appears during calls when the backlight is off -- only if the phone is against my ear (proximity sensor turns off the backlight) or speakerphone on after backlight goes off. Pulling the phone an inch away from my ear (to turn on the backlight) fixes it, but that doesn't help because then I can't hear. Also, during speakerphone calls, turning on the backlight with the on/off switch solves the problem, but then it comes back as soon as the light goes off.

Disabling Audio Effects didn't do the trick. My phone, and my brother's identical phone, still have the annoying issue. I think I'll just return it while I am still allowed, and get something else (maybe an N6P).

320kbps...., "good sound" lolol
But seriously, it helps to avoid mega bass on the speakers, always good to turn that off

Here's a thread where seems to help to turn off the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode". It's under "Cellular network settings". See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/audio-breaking-screen-goes-off-off-t3302643

Prevent audio push through speaker during notifications?

I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. If you recieve any notifications When listening to any audio through headphones (or through the mini usb port), the device pushes the notification sound through the speaker. This is fine when having a ringer enabled because I'd obviously want to hear the ring. What I dislike though, is when I have notfications (rings, text messages, etc.) on silent or vibrate, it pushes the audio that I'm listening to through the speaker still. I've always disliked this in WM. My PPC6700 did the same thing, but now I'd really like to know if there's a way to change this.
Now that I have an 8GB SD card, my Titan has started to become my primary mp3 player. I do FOH sound at a local club, and when playing music between bands, it's really annoying to have the music suddenlly cut out because a phone call is coming in. Likewise when I'm quietly watching MobiTV with my headphones on at work, and suddenly, Survivorman is blaring through the speaker because a call is coming in...You get the point. The ringer is off, but the phone still trys to let a ring through the speaker anyway, and since no ring is selected, it pushes any audio being played through.
I realize that this relatively simple problem probably does not have a simple solution as this is probably buried deep in the architecture of how WM handles audio gateways...that almost sounded like I knew what I was talking about; I can assure you that I do not . This is where you guys come in. I'm willing to test any ideas you guys have got. I don't care if it f&#*s up my phone...a hard reset isn't going to ruin my day. I'd just like a solution for this.
Ideas??
Thanks for your help and for this forum!..it has saved my phone more then a few times already.
Me too having the same problem. I listen to music via my bluetooth mono headset and these notifications (whcih I get plenty) disconnect the bluetooth audio gateway, forcing me to reach out to my phone and enabling the audio gateway again.
Yeah, I hate that too! I have the i760, one other thing on this phone I dislike is that the volume must be on to hear audio through my headphones. But there I am in a store listening to some rock at a loud volume, and there it is playing for the entire f'n store to hear when I get a call, thanks PPC!
Possible Solution!!!!
Might I recommend a Profiler. Like PPCProfiler. Just Google it.
What you could do is create a profile called music or what ever you want to name it. Then you could set up that profile to turn ringers on with the volume level you like and with or without vibration and select silent or vibrate only for the notifications. You could really but together any combination. I believe with PPCProfile you can even make a profile as a Headset Mode. So it will auto detect the headset and switch without having to do anything else.
Cheers.
Curious G.
Thanks for the reply, but a profiler isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I've had them before in previous roms. The problem isn't that it's an inconvienence to switch to silent or vibrate. It's that when things are silenced or on vibrate, any background audio is pushed through the speaker while the notification is going off. Meanwhile that audio that I want to be played cuts out of the path that I want it going through (ie. headphones).
Thanks tho...I'm open to any ideas.

Audio Booster Bug on HD2

Hi,
while listening to music i found few software glitches.
1. Audio booster if you save preset in an existing name, it is not saving the current EQ setting instead it retains the previous preset EQ setting in memory but on screen it shows the new EQ settings, if you goto some other preset and and come back to saved one you could see on screen that your prev EQ settings of that preset is retained and not the new one.
2. Listen to music using headphone with Audio Booster enabled, If you attend a phone call and disconnect the call you will notice while resuming the music audio booster won't be really enabled, when you goto audio booster again you can feel the change in sound, looks like every time when we attend a call and resume music audio booster had to be re-enabled.
Do any one have similar issue?
~SwK
Yes, I have them both. Actually there is no solution for them on the forum, from what I've searched.
I got those problems too and also that its shutting down randomly and between songs, which is very annoying.
I have mailed HTC about it and the reply i got was that they've informed the developers about the problem...
Similar issue, I mail them too.
audio booster
have we heard anything on this bug? Mine just started shutting off randomly, Appreciate knowing if we have found out anything,,thanks,,Quig
Needs fixing, for SO long!
Audio Booster has always had this problem (remembering from my HTC Touch HD) where as soon as it's been closed or moved off screen, without music being played, it will close/disable.
I usually run it and minimize it, so it never goes off, but of course, as soon as you remove your earphones, it turns off/disables. Decided to never use again until a fix is implemented and/or it just picks up that earphones are connected and to stay enabled until it is manually close or earphones removed.
booster
I also had hd, but had no problems with booster on it, strange? HD2 shuts of randomly, just listening, not running or doing anything else? I guess just keep turning it back on.
I have HD2 and the same problem brought me here to discuss about it but it's unfortunate not to find a solution or at least a germicide to this bug!!!
Booster
Hope the techs find way to fix it. Or htc does update to fix? I really enjoy using music player, but audio boost continues to shut off randomly.
same
same here....but no one could make any solution for that...dont know why they made this booster....goddamn...
Audio booster bug
I would really like to find fix for booster shutting off. I would be willing to donate for someones time if they fix it. I'm Techdumb, so no chance I'll find anything,..LMK,,Quig
*Bump*
Does anybody know if the latest ROMs (TMo US?) still have this bug?
on a side note, I still wish HTC would fix the problem with AAC files not being listed in track order; a bug which has been present for YEARS now (On Touch Pro, Touch 3G etc....).
All in all little things like this prevent HTC phones from being the 'all-in-one' device I crave. Shame. Perhaps I should stop buying them ; )
HD2 audio booster
I have tried several ROMs ,TMOUS 2.10,does not have this problem.
now i am on O2 uk ROM 1.72,still same problem.
I have even applied Music patch released by HTC on their web site. Now booster shutdown with every change of Song.i have to manually switch it on for every song.really very annoying.i cannot go back to TMOUS because i want internt sharing options which is not there on TMOUS 2.10.
Any help.please .Thank you.
edit:SRS sound may help.

Booster fix? not!
Niether "fix" worked for me. I'm serious I will donate 100.00 towards someone fixing audio booster! Not much, but maybe more will donate,,, Please, love my tunes, WITH audio booster!
audio booster update
I read on some forum,person had sort of work around for booster shutting off. Well his idea was just unplugging earphones, & putting back, it reset audio booster, no need to go in & turn back on. Well, I tried just pulling plug out until I lost 1 channel, then slowly push it back in until I get second channel back. Audio booster has stayed on steady for my 15 song playlist!!!! plug is not in all the way! But enough to get both channels,& audio booster!! So far working!! For me, it's great!!! Please lmk,,,,Quig

Hd2 tweaks

BSB tweak and hd2 tweak dont work for me neither does pressing X instead of done its bloody annoying because the sound quality with audio booster and srs is excellent but frustrating to have to re enable it after every song!

headphone jack alert and music audio routing issue

Hi Guys,
This is my first samsung so maybe its a samsung thing, but when I listen to music on my phone everytime a new notification comes through either mail or sms or anything really that triggers a notification alert to make a noise it cuts my headphones and starts playing the notification and my music through the loudspeaker and then when the notification tone is done the music routes back in to the headphones.
It is really annoying and is there an app to fix this?
This is almost more annoying to people in the same room as me than it is to me.
I'm on the latest factory ROM, rooted.
Hi,
I had this problem too.. and found answer somewhere here. For example, SoundAbout solves this issue.

Thanks, I've used SoundAbout in the past to fix issues with a cheap knockoff chinese phone, I was hoping there was a better fix hah, that will have to do for now
If you are using a player such as poweramp you can stop this pause and resume by going into settings/audio/audio focus and change the settings to not pause and resume. It will play the music and notifications at the same time. Otherwise do the above steps and turn down your notification volume to 0 manually. You will still get notifications without interfering the music.
I haven't tried other players yet but worth looking into the settings for the same features

Stock Rom seems to have Terrible audio driver?

It it just me, or is the stock rom shocking for poor sound quality?
Popping, clicking, missed notification sounds, cut/muted odd notifications - its all very irritating.
I've had to turn all the UI sounds off because of the popping/clicking noises that follow it.
I hope they fix it.
I´m glad, that I´m not the only one with this problem.
Did you try turning OFF the Audio Effects in Settings > Sound and Notification?
Also, there is a known issue with volume ramp-up for the first 1-2 seconds of alarms and notifications sounds. Will cause a very short sound to "not play" because the first second of the audio plays at zero volume.
I use my own MP3 files edited to add 2 second silence to the beginning of the playback, as a workaround. (Also separates the vibe and sound so the sound can still be heard clearly when vibe+sound is on - the original reason I added the 2 seconds. Because I like those sounds.
There is also at least one app to force full notification/alarm playback volume from the start of playback. Haven't tried it, others have posted about it here.

Yup, turned the Audio Effects stuff - first thing I did.
It doesn't do it on 3rd party roms, Only the stock rom. It's frustrating A-F

I wonder if this is related to... Settings > Utilities > Gaming mode > Answer calls via speaker... being turned on. This feature offers, "Route incoming calls to speaker when Gaming mode is turned on"
No It doesnt work even when I disable the option
I'm having Bluetooth audio problems with the OnePlus 6T, I cannot even begin to understand why would they remove the headphone jack if the Bluetooth music doesn't even work. I'll revert back to 9.0.6 to see if that fixes the issue but if it doesn't I'm legitimately returning the phone.
I can't seem to replicate the issue, did a test with YouTube playing a clip, received a call the clip muted and as soon as I finished the call YouTube resumed.
Am I doing something different?
II have a similar problem with an app that puts the phone in silent mode when in use. The media volume does not come back on. I noticed if I then checked in the sound settings that "do not disturb" was toggled on. I have to turn that off and sometimes rebot. The app has an setting to put phone in silent mode when in use. If I disable that I avoid the problem.
So I got the Bluetooth audio working but SBC doesn't work what so ever. I'm using Sony WH-1000XM3 and the only way I can get it to play is through LDAC but at 340kbp instead of the 900+. Phone calls work perfectly and all the gestures work but for some reason audio isn't working on anything but LDAC. My OnePlus 3t plays music in every single type of codec. So it has to be the OnePlus 6t itself.
Hey did you found a solution
