no multimedia sound from speakerphone speaker? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK on my new atrix this is just strange. I just got a new atrix 4g 2.3.4 and the ringtones alerts and all are working just fine. However i installed both google music beta and pandora both play through the headphones just fine but not through the speaker. I also loaded up a few mp3's and videos and they are doing the same. I probably am overlooking something very simple but for the life of me i can not figure it out.
edit: seems like someone else had this problem and they resolved it by charging while off, i will try that and see if it resolves the problem.
here is a link to the other person who had this issue, see the 5'th post down

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

[Q] Sound Goes Out While Playing Music

Ok, I've searched on google for a hour, but everyone else is having issues playing music when pushing the power button. My issue is that music stops playing, period. I'll leave my phone playing music, (screen on or off) but music stops playing. WMP, TCPMP, doesn't matter. The music bar is still going, but no sound is coming from my phone. Sometimes it's after one song, sometimes it's after several. I've flashed different roms, even one I cooked myself, same issue. I have to soft reset to get music playback working again, but after a few songs the sound goes out again. The weird part is that the sound works for all other programs or when I'm using BT headset. Example: WMP sound goes out while playing a song, I close WMP and open TCPMP, no sound either, but Need for Speed Shift sounds just fine, and the BT headset works too! WTF?! Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S
Not sure if I'm even posting this in the right place. If so, then I apologize. Help me get this post to someone who can assist with this problem. I can't be the only one who's seen this issue.
Well dude I have the same problem. It seems your post is too old and noone is going to anwser you. I do apologize I will make new thread and I hope you've already solved your problem.

[Q] Bluetooth Headsets

Anyone else have a Sony DR-BT50?
I've got several headsets, and all of them work great with the gtab...some have more issues with sound being in sync with video than others, but they all work.
I just got a set of the BT50's today, and I can't seem to get them to work with video well at all. They don't seem to work with Playon at all.
Video from the web, like hulu or fox, you get sound, but it is severely broken.
I would think that maybe the headset is just bad, but music playback is perfect, crystal clear with no loss at all. I listened tunes for about an hour today and didn't drop once.
I'm running vegantab ginger rc1. I was on the kernel that came with the ROM, so I reflashed and loaded up the new pershoot kernel to try....no change.
Anyone else have that headset and have that issue? It's too bad, because they are some great sounding headphones.
My Motorola S9 bluetooth skips like a machine gun as well on the VEGAn-7.0.0-RC!-Harmony Mod. May try another newer Headset soon.

[Q] Car Bluetooth Audio Problem

I have a Unlocked Galaxy S 2 running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.3. Originally the bluetooth audio feature worked with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010) but I had to go into the running application and force close A2DP bluetooth running. I guess this causes a problem with some car units. Anyway I upgraded the phone to 2.3.4 UHKG7 and now the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
SOLVED IT!
Look in this thread I wrote...

Awesome!
Thank You so much, that fixed it. I now can hear music through my car. Couple of small issues I've noticed, the music sounds somewhat static. Also when I'm talking to someone over bluetooth my voice seems to eco in the car as this didn't happen before. I am very happy those are just miner issues I can live with, but if you have any suggestions on tweaking the settings to fix this that would be great. Thanks again!
Ok, I'm glad I could help you with this.
I'm still figuring out how this audio codec has to set correctly .....

[Q] Eclipse v2.02

Does anyone else have a problem with eclipse and bluetooth? I use a bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music and after a few minutes it cuts out and I have to reboot.
I use Bluetooth in my car and it works well. Not sure if its the same for headphones though.
Eclipse 2.0.2
I just sbf'd back to 2.3.4 and installed eclipse 1.3. going to see if that corrects it
I have a bluetooth stereo and I have disconnect issues as well on gbp7...not sure what the deal is, but I think it's the stereo cause the phone shows still connected and the audio doesn't get rerouted back to phone. You don't have to reboot, just toggle bt off then on. Plus the problem is random.
I never modified anything with the bt is why I think it's the stereo, but I ciudad be wrong. Ima try to get a log and see what the deal is.

So far music hasn't cut out...I believe it has something to do with v2.02 or the 2.3.5 update
2.03 is out now...
Maybe that will help ur issues?

Not to bust this, but on my end at least, I know I didn't mess up updating the device.
and the Eclipse 2.0.3 update does not change anything to bluetooth..
But I found the Problem.
By chance do you use Google Music as your default music app?
Anyway, I do and the problem is with that app(or maybe its in another setting which I doubt cause the problem persists on GBP7.)
Explanation:
I use a Bluetooth cd player in my car and I use google music to stream to my stereo. Every now and then I lose sound output on my CD Player(although both show connected). The problem would arise whether it was playing local music or streaming from google music. At first thought it was my phone, then I flashed Eclipse to test it out for a lil bit and the problem persisted. So I moved on to thinking it was the Stereo. Well, this morning I was at work(still am..) and I was listening to my music via ear plugs. I ended up getting a random "stop" although the music progress bar was still moving... I changed songs and still had no output. HERES THE KICKER!! I turned the volume up with the keypad and BAM! the sound started to produce out of my precious ear plugs....
I haven't had time to test this with the bluetooth stereo yet, but the problems had IDENTICAL symptoms, so I'm assuming this will work.
The random MUTE of the app is odd, and very random. Sometimes it wont do it for HOURS and then sometimes it will do it every 2 minutes or so. But for now, try to increase the volume(you can do this while screen is off if using Google Music, not sure about others) and see if it solves the issue for now. I will look into it and test with another music app(probably winamp) and see if the problem arises. If so, then I'll look into the system configuration and see if the problem is there. I know I didn't change any bluetooth settings in my ROM, and I haven't noticed any changes by Nitro in Eclipse. So this leads me to think its an APP problem.
I use juice defender and other custom settings for battery life, but I know for a fact those aren't the problems, so if anyone reading this looks into the issue, the problem is either Google Music or in the system configuration. So don't go looking into Juice Defender or other apps to be the problem.
Disregard...I am blind
Like stated.... It's not another app interfering.... Dsp manager is not on gbp7...

[Q] Neutrino v2.0 and above audio skipping

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.
