Hi
I have upgraded the sgs to the latest update yesterday via the KIES, but the problem still persists. When i am playing music or audible stuff after approximately 25 minutes it automatically stops???
Even when I stop the music or audio book say 20 minutes in it will stop in the next 5 minutes???
do you have taskkiller or auto killer or advanced task mgr.. autokill on?
that is what it sounds like
the fact that it is so tied to a time.. bet you have autokill every 30 min.
if so you need to exclude those.
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.
Hello.
I have an international galaxy S2 (GT-i9100) with CM 11 Snapshot M4 installed. Everything works perfectly beside PowerAmp music player. From time to time (daily, some days it happens like 4 times) PowerAmp just freezez, refuses to play anymore song, although it's menu keeps working. For example if I listen to a song, it just pause and freezez the song there. Nothing works to make poweramp recover, only a full phone restart.
Sometimes if I force close the application and restart it several times it will work again, but it will keep the phone awake and drain battery while in idle when not even listening to music (15% per hour). The battery drain caused by PowerAmp gets fixed after phone restart.
I have the latest version of PowerAmp, and my music is on a external SD card (samsung 32GB class 10). Any idea what could the problem be?
Same problem here
Hi there
I have the same problem except that I don't use PowerAmp. I have CM 11 too. My battery is draining at an alarming rate when it's in idle. More 75% of the battery gets drained in 6 hours (when I sleep) when the phone is in idle state. The battery looks pretty normal. There is no bulge. I have been using the phone for over 2 years and am facing this problem since last 4 months. I changed to CM 11 from stock JB because I was facing this problem even before I installed CM11. Does anyone have any answer to this problem? Is it because of the battery??

I had the same issue on slimkat, i disabled the direct volume control option in audio settings and installed volume + instead, been trouble free since (fingers crossed)
Is anyone else experiencing connectivity stability issues on the OTA Lollipop update? I took the update last night and now it won't stay connected to my Jeep's system long enough to finish a song.
I have I just flashed barepop and its all good
I've been on BarPop-ZV8 and there has been no issues with bluetooth via headphones or car.
Fixed it. It's the dumb kernel on 5.02 that stutters the playback as soon as screen is off. I used a partial wakelock so the cpu stays active after screen off with this app. It works. No more stuttering. As for speakers that require high sample rate I just switched the cpu governor to performance. It's a workaround but the partial wakelock should work especially on bluetooth headphones. Here's the app's link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en
Ringtones that used to continually repeat seem to have been stopped from doing so in this 5.1 update. It's a problem because I rely on a battery level alarm which I am now missing due to the ringtone only ringing once when I'm not in the general vicinity. I spoke to the developer who is aware of this issue but as of yesterday he didn't have a solution. The update has been pushed to my Nvidia Shield tablet but currently isn't available on my Samsung Note 4 which will obviously develop the same issue using the same battery indicater app.
Just you wondering if anyone else relies on a continually repeating alarm function and how you are getting around this issue?
OK looks like its a google battery life saving feature so its here to stay. Ive uploaded .ogg songs to use as ringtones so you get the length of the song at least to get around the shorter none repeating rtones.
