Has anyone else experience the same problem where their music would not play smoothly anymore Neutrino v2.0 and v2.1(p)? My music played just fine on v1.4.
I'm using powerAMP and I've already tried increasing the audio buffer and the audio thread priority and neither is fixing the problem. This happens both from the speaker and through the headphone.
I saw a post about this in the main dev thread no one else seemed to have followed up on it =(.

I think it has something to do with the 'Media step' mod, which I deleted from V2.0 onwards so it shouldn't be a problem...
Can you describe in more detail what happens?
The phone runs very smooth in all other aspects, but the audio would hiccup...as if I was listening to CDs that were scratched.
I have had the same experience. I have tried different music programs so it's not app-specific. I've also flashed a different kernel to see if that could be the problem.
I have noticed I do not get the same bugs as on different cm7 ROMs where the speaker wouldn't work at all after unplugging from the car dock so the trade-off's been worth it.
I only experiance this when the phone switches from 3g to H. And the slipping becomes extremely bad when I lose service for a bit. If I go to networks and select 2g only, it seems to somewhat fix it. Until I drop service. Used several different radios with the same result
I'm going a hunch that the tweak to the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec in the build.prop is somehow interfering - I've edited mine from 150 to 50 and I think it sounds smoother on the speaker but that could just be deceiving. I'll update after I've used it in the car dock on my way home.
-Update-
To I'm sure no one's surprise, this did not work. Music still pops. Maybe once or twice every thirty seconds.
I just tried playing music in airplane mode and the music doesn't skip either with Wi-fi on or off.
Is this problem only with PowerAmp? Does it work fine with other music players?

Every music player. Stock, double twist, poweramp etc. I have tried them all.
Confirmed for me with every music player, not just with powerAMP.
TTT Any fix yet?
I've been looking into this over the weekend. It happens on all media players I've tested:
DoubleTwist
WinAmp
PowerAMP
Stock
Sometimes it is so subtle that you wouldn't noticed if you didn't literally have every nuance of a song memorized. I took logcat logs and marked every "skip" I heard, while playing video games with my headphones on for a few hours this weekend, but nothing stuck out of the logs.
This issue is not in 1.4S, but was in 2.0, 2.1, and still in 2.1P. Sorry I don't have any other useful info.

Will yours skip if in airplane mode? Mine doesn't.
mine actually skips in airplane mode aswell, but rarely...
See if it skips in V2.2...
Bad news...the audio still skips. I'm seeing that it happens often especially when there are changes in reception, like when it's switching between h+ and 3g...
I can happily confirm that setting SeCPU profiles to sleep at max and min @ 456mhz fixes the skipping.
Hmmm, I thought that would hinder the battery saving effects of clocking down. I've been clocking the CPU down to around 216-312 Mhz when my phone is idled.
Usually I'm playing audio on the phone when I'm driving and I have the phone plugged in to the car charger, I'll try to increase the min clock for when the phone is charging and report back.
I don't know if it's worth mentioning again, but with the same setting I have now in V1.4, the audio doesn't skip at all. I'll also test if this is happening with weekly #6 as well.
I realize this is a bit off topic, but seeing as how my issue is audio related I figured I'd give it a shot.
In short, my internal speaker is going in and out. There's no specific instances I'm seeing, but I can say I notice it most when it goes out during a phone call. A couple of times I've noticed a bit of a raspy sound, kind of like a loose speaker wire or skipping cd would make (which leads me to think it's the speaker itself).
That being said, if anyone else is having this issue I'd like to help out as best I can.
I'm on 2.2, btw. Currently running 100% EE, with the CM7 provided Google Apps.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the intrusion.
So I just got my Dinc4g. I installed Pandora and noticed that it is taking quite a long time to buffer when I fast forward a song. I had an iPhone 4s, both are on Wifi, and it has no issues when I fast forward songs. It does so pretty fast.
Any suggestions?? I use Pandora a lot and this is kinda crappy. I figured streaming it over Wifi would be better than leaving it on 4g.
HELP!!
How is your WiFi performance outside of Pandora? Have you tried clearing data and cache for the app? I've been streaming Pandora for about 24 hours over the last two days with no hiccups, so it isn't a widespread issue with Inc4Gs.
My wifi is great. Like I said I stream Pandora from my iphone using the same wifi connection with 0 issues. I've been doing some research and found that the Pandora app seems to not work well on any android phone, which sucks!!!
I tried Slacker Radio and that has no problems and I can forward songs instantly. Of course I don't have a hacked version of that one, figures!!
I purchased my DNA a couple days before Christmas and have been loving it! I have an issue and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing it?
I installed TuneIn Radio and all the stations that I try to play constantly buffers. They will play for a few seconds then buffer then play again and buffer again.
This happens constantly. I can't listen to anything for more than a few seconds at a time. My signal strength is strong and I get 11M down at worst when using it.
Everything seems to work fine on WiFi and I have not seen the problem there.
Has anyone experienced anything similar in TuneIn or another streaming app?
Thanks,
Vince
Yes I previously would use Tune in radio to listen to podcasts but the buffering was maddening. Works great on Wifi but for some reason it does not work well over lte. I have moved on from tune in and am now using Stitcher which works perfect over lte.

Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be the app also, but two other phones on lte side by side stream without a problem. I also have an issue where scrolling the list of episodes in Netflix is not working correctly. If I swipe down the list moves up a little and a swipe up moves the list down slightly (very jerky and in the wrong direction).
I've done a couple factory resets and reset the sim with the same results. I'm going back to the store this morning to exchange this unit for a new one. I'll see how things work out after that.
Thanks
Just a note to let everyone know that I no longer have the buffering issue after replacing my DNA. I also heard from TuneIn Radio and they just released a new version that may fix the issue for others that were experiencing excessive buffering over LTE.
Thanks,
Vince
i use TuneIn over LTE all the time and have never had a problem.
Hi,
I've search the forum for a problem similar to mine but don't find anything that matches quite right.
When I listen to tracks (headset) and keep the phone on, there is no problem. If I put the phone in my pocket then when the lockscreen activates I start to hear stuttering. It does not matter what audio app I'm using, it can be the stock player, or my podcast player - of which I've tried a few -all with the same problem.
After some further testing I came to the realisation that this issue is not only related to lockscreen, its related to wifi as well. When I'm traveling on the London underground which is now becoming wifi enabled, everytime I enter/leave a station the audio playback starts to stutter. If I push the power button to reactivate the screen it starts playing perfectly again. The stuttering only occurs when screen is locked or device is sleeping or whatever we call the mode when it turns off the screen.
When I leave the house while listening to music, I get exactly the same problem, as soon as I get out of range of my wifi connection it starts stuttering. Once again reactivating the screen immediatley fixes the issue.
When I turn wifi off during my travel there is a noticible improvemenet to the amount of stuttering I get, but not always completely gone, which leads me to believe it might be related to any connection / disconnection including 3g. Or maybe that the wifi issue is incidental rather than causal.
The sound resumes normal playback after anything up to 10 secs of stuttering. It really makes listening to music or podcasts while traveling to/from work quite irritating.
I had this issue with 2 different builds - the original stock build from T-Mobile - and is still the case after using Odin to upgrade (downloaded from here) to
baseband: I9300XXDLID
Kernel: 3.0.31-368423
Build: JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ4
Phone is not rooted.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions of fixes for me. Would really like to listen to tracks without having to keep my phone in my hand and draining my battery unnecessarily.
Thx for any help....
Hi all im having trouble with WiFi when playing music through my Bluetooth speakers like YouTube videos skip and buffer and radio apps its really getting me down I have tried searching and tried numerous fixes wifi tweaks but nothing helps has anyone found a fix for this or some sort of work around any help would be much appreciated
