Fuzzy sound? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so whenever i interact with the screen, the sound that goes through my headphones starts to make a cracking/fuzzy sound. most notable when im scrolling through my apps, browser.
i started noticing it a couple days ago, possibly after i installed a newer kernel.
i've tried installing different kernels/roms as well as odin'ing back to stock and the problem is still there.
any ideas? any help is appreciated thx

I have a thread about this already in this section. You might wanna read through it. It's called sound popping.

Link to thread mentioned above.
good day.

[Q] music player FC

Hi all! I am running Bionix V 1.2.1 with the dragon kernel5 - all in all, I am very satisfied, but lately I've been running into a few problems that I'm pretty sure I caused during my more reckless period of flashing test kernels (at least, that's when the symptoms appeared). The first and most annoying issue is that the Music Player will play the first song I select without any problem, but at the end of the song, rather than moving to the next track, the app freezes eventually resulting in a force close. Same thing happens with sound player and a gingerbread music app i dl'ed from the market...also sometimes after the watching a video from the gallery. I'm assuming this is because I've corrupted something (perhaps something to do with CorePlayerService?) This sometimes also coincides with issue #2: the notification bar will be inaccessible occasionally, usually accompanied by some general lag, only fixed when I kill and restart launcher.
Now, I know that whatever my problems may be, i would probably be well served to odin back to stock, root, and start over now that I'm done being a jackass--but that seems like overkill, considering how narrow my problem is.
Has anyone else experienced this? (or is that like asking, "i ate some raw, spoiled meat this morning and now I'm violently ill....anyone else experience this?") Does anyone have general insight? Perhaps even a quick fix that obviates the need to spend a couple hours on damage control...?
P.S. if there is already a thread that COMPLETELY covers this, please don't flame me to death....i did at least TRY to find it ;x
This has always been a problem for me since Nero 3. It's the rom not the kernal. I think it's a bad flash. I just odin back to stock and reflash. I tried replacing MusicPlayer.apk in system/app but that still didn't work. I hope someone finds a solution.
Heh...good to know i'm not alone. Also, I don't know if this is at all related, but starting at the same time I noticed quadrant now freezes at h.264 decoding and also had to fc... Guess I'll be re flashing...

GB on TB

Ok so I have been looking over the forums and I hope I didn't miss it if there is a post already about this so I am going to go ahead and ask away. If it has been posted and I did miss it then I apologize for beating a dead horse.
I have tried the Liquid Gingersense (v1.4, v1.5, and v1.6) and CyanogenMod (v7.1.0-RC1.5.2 and v 7.1.0-RC1.6.1) and have not had any luck. Along with some minor esthetic issues I had with the CyanogenMod, I had noticed that the Gingersense actually disabled my radio and I was unable to make any calls and the signal bars would just show up with an "x" next to it. I rebooted many times and kind of tinkered around and tried other ways of turning it on or playing with LTE on/off to see if that would help in any way and I never did get it enabled.
When I would look at the "Quick Setting" (if I recall the name correctly), the icon for me to enable it was greyed out so clicking on it did nothing at all. Has anyone had this issue? Did I perhaps miss doing something when setting this up? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
You mentioned that you had no signal with Gingersense but not with Cyanogenmod so I'm not sure if this is your case but did you flash the radio suggested for those roms? MR2, GB leak, etc. If not, you can find links in the pinned thread at the top of the Q/A.
Also, remember when switching between roms to wipe data/cache.
No actually I did not try that. So if I do get time to do that do I do the ROM then the radio thing? I do believe I came across a.radio deal and thought " I wonder if I need to install that?" But never tried. I figured it safer to ask and not break my phone than to break it and figure out how to fix it...lol

Ya sounds like you need to flash an Mr2 or higher radio. Check the q&a stickys for links and instructions.

Well I decided to give it another shot. I have GingerSense v1.7 installed and did the MR2 install and it all works perfectly. I have a few apps I need to reinstall and a couple icons to redo but other then that everything looks great and seems to work smooth. Thank you guys for the help. I greatly appreciate it.
Actually the only issue I am having right now is that every...I dont know maybe 5 minutes or so there is an error that pops up that Im not sure how to get rid of. It says...
"The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Any ideas or thoughts about this?
Well I think I have discovered the root of this error. I have noticed that when I text and if o click on the Mic to do voice to txt that even though the screen pops up as if it OS going to record, it does absolutely nothing. How to fix it is where I am still stumped though.

Well it seems I have been noticing some weird things that are making me think maybe I should try Gingersense v1.5
At first my camera was working but Im not sure why it isnt now. I cant do pics or video and lastnight when I was trying to Skype with my cousin in CA the video cam didnt work for me. I also have been getting two different errors...
1) The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
-AND-
2) The application Talk (process com.google.android.talk) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I also had noticed that it seems to take a bit longer for the phone to boot in comparison to what it used to and especially when it was brand new and not yet rooted. I have a custom static image that says "HTC quietly rooted" and a WWII themed Android boot animation". When I reboot I get a black screen for about 30 seconds then the custom HTC image comes up for about 20-25 seconds then the custom animation plays THEN once that's done I'm booted into my phone.
Is there any kind of way to cut those times down for faster booting? Well I think I will have to keep messing with this and see what I can do...

[Q] Volume+ Issues

So after doing many hours of searching I truly believe I am the only person with this problem. If for some reason I have missed this problem already and it has been solved, I do apologize sincerely.
I just got a Samsung GS2 with AT&T, rooted it first thing, and flashed the UnNamed ROM. After having it for a few days now, the ringer volume and Alarm volume are too low for me to hear in my pocket. So upon doing a bit of digging, I came across an app called Volume+. I am sure many people know what this is and have recommended it to others with my same problem.
I say again, I have already installed this app!
However, after turning all the settings full blast, level 15 in most cases, there is no change in volume.
Reading more about the app, its SUGGESTED that I flash CM7 and remove the DSP Manager... but I don't want to do that. I don't care about removing the DSP Manager, but I happen to like the UnNamed ROM. Besides, they said they recommend the CM7 ROM but "should" work with others.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated here. I am new to this whole thing, but I do know Linux VERY well and I am not afraid to tinker with things I probably should't.
Thanks again.

i had this issue as well. Try this, go to applications/manage applications/ and clear the data in volume+, then, without opening it, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot as normal, open volume+ and use these settings: speaker settings/check speaker modifications(leave virtual room unchecked/ then go to EQ settings, select "good quality"/then select 15 under volume level, leave everything else alone! let me know how it works out for you, cause i see a HUGE difference with this app, and i use it on all my ROMs, which is at least 15 if not more that ive flashed.

Issues with notification sounds going mute...

So I have a Droid X2, now un-rooted and back on stock 2.3.4 and this is an issue I have had since I had the phone and have never found a fix. I have asked this multiple times on the Verizon forum for the DX and never get an answer...
SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

Okay... happening again. Nope. Music won't play. Says something about not being able to play that type of file. Just regular music that plays any other time. If I reboot the phone I'm sure it'll work. Any ideas?
I have the same issue of notification sounds going mute randomly. I'm using galaxy tab P1000, android 2.3.3
sometimes music player stops playing songs randomly too!

No rom. I was rooted but un-rooted and went back to stock gingerbread...
I upgraded to android 2.3.6 overcome 4.1.0 (its a custum rom for galaxy tab). Lets see if it resolves the issue. I'll report back if the problem happened again.

Awesome... thank you!
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I normally keep my phone on silent mode but sometimes during the day it will automatically go off silent mode. Seems to happen most often when the battery level is below half. I just learned to live with it. My alarm would deactivate by itself in Froyo, so at least this isn't going to cause me to be late for work like that.
Problem is solved here after last week's upgrade. I'd suggest flashing a new build if possible. I guess for some unknow reason, parts of the OS gets corrupted or maybe its a bug in device drivers for our android phones thats been addressed in later builds.

I'm certainly no dev, just an avid user who likes learning and tweaking to get the most from his phone. I recall having similar problems with FROYO stock or rooted which as I remember went away when GINGERBREAD came out. I've been running DZK's CM7 beta as my daily driver since it was released with virtually no problems and unlike most other ROM's does not need multiple tweaks and scripts to scream with the exception of a wifi and/or dialer glitch that looks like Moonshadow has recently fixed. Sooooo unless HDMI is a deal breaker I'd suggest you flash CM7 and see if that takes care of your problems just remember to abide by the cautions regarding use of TBU to restore apps. And lastly as a rule of thumb I reboot my phone every morning once I get to 100% charge...force of habit I guess.
Good luck

Thanks everyone... I havent been on because it strangely hasn't been happening. Not sure what changed. Did not uninstall any apps, and have not had any updates (as far as I know... well besides app updates) and for some reason it hasnt been happening lately. Again, no idea what changed. Still unrooted on stock 2.3.4 gingerbread and phone seems fine now. Been happening for months and when I finally come here to get help, the problem seemed to have went away. I will keep you all updated if this changes. Hopefully if it is happening to anyone else, it has also been fixed... Thanks again for all your help. Really appreciate you guys helping out this noob
what i did
i have an mb870 too with no service running google voice and groove ip . my issue with notifications
was with my kids hitting all the button selections she could. in the process my message notifications
got defaulted to the wrong messaging app. i was still getting messages but no tones or vibrations.
so i just went to all the messaging apps i have and made sure to select the right one for the default
hope this helps

UPDATE GApps! Sound troubles? Using old PA GApps?

Just thought I'd post this.
Had some issues with sound after changing to a different 4.4 ROM. Could only get sound from music\streaming apps (probably all apps) when all was minimised and as soon as the screen locked or in an app (even the one where the sound was supposed to be originating from), all sound would go dead.
Tried a few different ROMs with similar results. Would work fine upon first installation, then after a short time would break.
Seems my problem was using the old PA GApps package. As there hadn't been any updates for a long time I hadn't downloaded the latest version. The problem seems to occur when you start pulling/installing updates to google packages.
There might well be other strange behaviour, but this was the main issue I came aware of.
All issues seem to be cured now! So this is an informative post rather than a question. Hope it helps someone out there!
