During music play, has anyone else noticed small amount of static when changing volume. This happens to me particularly when increasing the volume control. However, it is very inconsistent. When I say static, I mean there is a volume increase (or decrease) with some amount of "other" sound added in. This was not something I noticed with my ipod touch and was just curious if anyone else has this or it's a hardware or software issue.
Do you see when playing music through the speaker only, or with earphones as well?
Speaker is not clear enough to hear if there is any audible noise during volume increase or decrease. . . also hear it when using other music players such as cubed. Also, I was listening through my earphones to Avatar and even though the audio is very clear, when increasing and decreasing the volume I still hear what I guess is better described as a small pop instead of static. That might be a better description for the music noise as well.
Static, crackle, pop
I've been listening to audio books on my Vibrant lately and I've noticed this happening a lot. I've heard it through headphones and I have even heard popping / crackling on the speaker when it plays notification sounds.
Did this turn out to be a defect or is it an issue that everyone has occassionally but just ignores?
Thanks
Does this happen when using the on-screen volume control in the music app or only the rocker button?
Mine will actually crackle even when I'm not touching it.

Yes mine too. It will sporadically "skip" in all music players whether I'm using headphones or not.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!

I'm on MIUI, and just recently started using my phone has a music player with my headphones. The minimum volume on the phone is pretty damn loud, and most of the time I can't listen to it that loud. When I put the volume up it gets louder. I've tired just about every DSPManager setting I could find, nothing gets the volume any lower.
Is this just an issue with non-stock based roms? I know that the max volume issue is a non-stock issue (where the volume gets maxed at about 50% of the volume indicator).
It is a known issue for miui (I believe all miui) or cwm. I mpved out of miui because of that although I love it otherwise. Galnet miui also has the same issue.

Try out poweramp and its preamp gain setting on its built in equalizer.

I just downloaded "equalizer" whats difference between poweramp?
I'm definitely looking for "better sound quality" and "loud + clear"
because I was experiencing volume Loss (auto dimm, yet volume still at max?) during calls (or just low volume), sometimes audio just seems Low during music playback vs my friends phone?? why a difference.

Your problem is different than the OP's and would normally deserve another thread...
Anyways, poweramp is just for music playback, and if you don't know how to use an equalizer properly, I would recommend not touching it or you would make it sound more like crap. The difference is how much power the audio jack can put out and the impedance of your headphones, and that determines how loud it sounds on your end. All phones are not the same, however, you should search for the in call audio fix thread for a solution to your problem.
I've heard a little bit of static'y noise when the touching the screen or going between apps occasionally (very pronounced with dealing with charging and aux in car). I still am experiencing it even when not charing, very subtle, but noticeable. Seems like it fixes itself when an audio app is selected, but otherwise can occasionally hear the static sound when interacting with the touch or capacitive buttons.
Anyone else hear some of this occasional static?

I experience this exact problem as well.

Turn off audible touch tones in settings.
I had this same problem, and am pretty sure it's just the audio file that Android uses when it plays the audible touch tones. The sound file that is used has to play the audible touch tones when touching the screen has an extra second or two of no sound that is only noticeable when using an external speaker source through the headphone jack. This is the "static" you are hearing.

But this doesn't address the root cause. Any sound causes this hissing or static noise. It is more like audio is activated when a tone is played, and gets deactivated a second or two later after the tone finishes, and the hiss is heard in the interim. This can be heard any time audio is activated, when connected by headphone or external speaker, and most noticeable when the source audio is low or silent.
This was a problem with the Skyrocket too. Hopefully, it's a software problem that can be addressed.
Yup....skyrocket suffers from this too

Same problem here too

Yep... same here... particularly bad when waiting for a video to start while it's hooked up to any speaker/car system that used the 3.5mm jack.
Anybody noticed any hissing, static, electrical noise, through their headset whilst a sound is playing? Usually audible for a second or two after the phone alerts you with a notification sound. Im using Sennheiser ie8 headphones.

Yep. Pain in the arse. Nothing you can do about it that I'm aware of. I tend to put my phone in flight mode if I listen to music. People can send me a txt or leave a voicemail msg.
Same here, I also noticed that when you turn up the volume using the buttons you can clearly hear "hard steps" no smooth scaling at all.
A lot of times the Bluetooth volume will be very low when I start playing media. I need to turn down the Bluetooth volume down from 100% to about 75%. After doing this the volume will jump up to the correct level that the slider is showing, then I can move it back to 100% to get full volume.
When listening to music with heavy bass, when the bass hits the rest of the music gets almost distorted and a lower volume. I hear this issue when streaming or listening to locally stored music.
Neither of the issues above were present in the stock ROM. I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing this or if there is a fix.
I am on CM10 20121210
Thanks.
I was having similar issues as well. I had problems with sound quality when connected to my car's stereo. I also had issues connecting to the stereo. This is the reason I switched back to Sense, because it was getting annoying. As soon as someone fixes this I'll jump right back to CM10.
When using in phone or speaker phone mode, the volume is very low - even with it maxed with the buttons. Same goes when I listen to voice mails with ATT visual voicemail app. However, when playing music the volume is quite good even at 50% volume.
I noticed that phone use uses only the top speaker, while playing music uses both the top and bottom speaker. I'd like to get louder volume during calls. Anyone have suggestions or insights?
BTW I'm rooted and running Havoc 4.8 if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
