So I just got my S5 yesterday, it is all stock unrooted. When listening to music in the car, between songs, there is this popping sound. Not super annoying, but still it's not very pleasant to hear. Also happens when a notification sound goes off in the middle of a song, between the end of the notification sound and when the music starts again. Anyone else have this problem?

Try resetting your phone if it stops the problem, otherwise, try flashing stock firmware, this will not trip your knox. If the issue is not resolved, return the handset for a replacement.

Are you using Bluetooth? Could be an interference somewhere or your volume on the phone is turned up too loud.

Is your phone connected to your car's speaker? Or are you just playing the music over your phone?

I have the same problem. It is not too often, but it does happen every once in a while. I notice it more when connected to car speakers (via cable, no bluetooth). I am not sure if it happens with (regular, no bluetooth) headphones.
My phone is also stock, no root or anything. I've noticed the first time I tried it. I am not sure if I need to return it or not...

It might be the cables. Though I have not experienced this with my phone, my earphones used to have the popping sounds and then one day one side just totally went off only to reconnect occasionally when I move it to a right bendy position, with the poppy sounds. So it might be the cables.
Click, pop, or stutter.

Yes, always happens when using bluetooth over car speaker system. Turning on the screen will stop it from happening. From the information I have found here and on the web, the power saving that samsung wrote to help conserve battery let's the CPU go into a low power state when the phone's screen has been off for a period of time. But if you happen to be streaming music, it will start to skip, pop, or stutter. If you turn the screen on for a short period, don't even have to unlock the lock screen, it will stop misbehaving for the same short period of time. However, if you plug your phone in while driving, you can just leave the screen on and you should not experience the problem. Hope this helps, you can google it for more information.
Pop Issue solved.
I've solved the issue. The reason that it makes a pop sound in between songs, is because when power saving mode is on, it is turning off the speaker in between songs. Just turn off "power saving" mode in your settings pull down on your Samsung, and it won't make a pop sound anymore.

I am encountering the same problem on my Verizon Galaxy S5. There is a popping noise (actually it is a double "pop pop" sound) when switching tracks (occurs in Samsung music player as well as Google Play Music). It's also noticeable when muting/unmuting the phone, and when the phone screen seems to go off. I have disabled power saving features as suggested, but the problem remains.
The problem is not noticeable on headphones (but could be due to the lower volume levels of headphones). It IS noticeable when I use the phone with an AUX cable in my car, and extremely bad on the PA loudspeaker system I use for work (I'm a dance teacher, and have generally used my phone as a music player). This is very annoying, and not what I would expect from Samsung's "flagship" phone.
I did a factory reset as suggested by Samsung tech support. Still have the problem.
I took the phone into Verizon's corporate store in SF, and the Verizon staff member recreated the problem with his own S5 too, suggesting this problem is inherent in all S5s.
What baffles me is the lack of a large number of complaints on message boards and the Samsung support forum. Doesn't anyone use their cell phone to play music at birthday parties, weddings, etc? I would have expected more outcry about this.
Any help appreciated!
Guys I am having the same issue with my S5. It is strange there is not enough complaints on it from people!
I have talked to Samsung about it and they don't believe such a huge bug!
Has any body solved this issue?
popping noise driving me mad on s5!
I have the same problem with a new s5 from 3 network. It's highly annoying and doesn't seem to matter which music player is used, power saver on or off and volume low or high on the phone or external speaker via an auxiliary cable. The same cable might I add I used for months for my S3. This just adds to annoying aspects to the s5 and I'm already looking for alternatives to Samsung even though my contract still has 23 months left! A fix for this is needed and will send the handset back for replacement if I have to!
They're was a setting inside one of the system files you could edit to help with the popping sound. I'll try to find the thread and post it up.
OK thanks. I have reluctantly factory reset and the noise is still there sometimes so others have found reset doesn't work. Will look at settings if you can find the thread.
I can't find it but I know it had to do with the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm just not sure what needed to be edited. I'll keep looking tho.
I'm having the same problem . Only when I skip to the next song and it is only out of the left channel.
Popping sound when skipping songs
Have you tried enabling the equaliser in settings under audio effects, as this has resolved the issue for me.
I have the problem as well. Its freaking ridiculous. I thought it was my music player for the longest time. I don't believe I had the issue when I first got the phone, but I really don't remember. I don't have power saving on and it doesn't happen all the time either. But it only happens at song changes or pause/unpause. I get the same double pop as nathandias described. Its bothering me a ton.
i was thinking it would be nice if people recorded the sound (standard audio cable from phone jack to line-in or mic of a computer)
it would be strange for it to be happening across such varied android versions (start of thread is when 4.4 was used, you can have 6 now with cyanogenmod, 5.1.1 from samsung, etc)
Hi,
I have the same problem, it's really annoying! I cannot understand why not much more people are complaining about this. It shouldn't be a problem in a Smartphone today! My Samsung S III didn't have this issue.
I made a video so you can see what we are talking about: Link deleted Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post a link here. You find it on Youtube entitled "Samsung S5 SM-G900F, popping sound between songs".
Did anyone find a solution? Thank you.
Hi. OP was a while ago! The solution was to use a logitech Bluetooth reciever connected to my 5.1 speaker system. Turns out it stops the annoying noise and for me with my s5 had better and louder sound quality. Well worth the purchase!

Sorry, this might be really easy to solve (or not), but I just got my Moto E and played with it a bit, got Candy Crush playing and sound was OK,
Later I got my SD card on with music and played and no sound, I thought it was Google Play Music´s fault but no, no apps have sounds now
A friend called me to see if speakers were OK, apparently they are, but No sound getting out via games or apps, nothing, what can I do ?
Plug headset again and after some seconds disconnect now you should be fine... I think this is a common problem in Lumia series
Moto E , Unlocked bootloader , Rooted , Xposed
I managed to get 2 apps working:
Radio: there are 3 squares top right of the app, touched them and then pressed "Switch to speakers" and it goes perfect
TV APP: There was also a speaker/headset icon which I pressed and switched
Now, its seems my cellphone thinks everything sound should go through headphones only, how to switch this ?
Okay so this is the most bizarre problem I have ever had with my phone. I am running stock 4.4.2 on a D6503 Z2 on AT&T's network. Rooted and running xposed.
Ear buds in questions are skull candy inked 2 (yeah I know they're a crap brand)
So on to the actual problem at hand:
This morning my ear buds just randomly stopped working when plugged in; outputting the sound through the external speakers instead. Found a temporary work around by switching the text to speech output from Google to Pico TTS. Ear buds worked again and the phone was recognizing that ear buds were plugged in, but sound switched to external speakers when the phone went to sleep or got a notification. A soft reboot seemed to fix this if I also changed the TTS output. That worked for about two hours and then TTS trick ceased working for me.
Once I got home, I tested other headphones and there is no issue with any of the three pairs I tried. Here is where it gets weird though, the skullcandy ear buds work just fine on everything else! I tried it on my Z1 tablet and my old HTC one x. Working fine. I am waiting for my boyfriend to come home to test on his phone because he also owns the D6503 Z2. so I will likely come back and edit to see if the problem is reproduced on that hardware.
The only things that have been done to it recently (last night) is a sizable (5 gigs or so) photo transfer off my phone to my desktop to free up some space and I downloaded an app called timely. Uninstalled timely to see if maybe that was the issue but no dice. Also updated a ton of my existing apps last night (amazon, battery widget reborn, cat alone, es file, google keep,hulu, light flow, netflix, swype, twitter, snapchat, uber, videostream, and youtube) Not sure if that is relevant but can't hurt to include as much info as possible.
What the heck is going on here?

to understand correctly what is issue u should first remove all 3rd party tools and customization
and then test ur device
when ur phone don't work with other device it means there 2 way communication that should be compatible on both sides.
what is ur headset?
:good:

skull candy inked 2.
The same problem is replicated on my boyfriends z2 that is running stock + xposed so i'm thinking its something with xposed. I'm not concerned enough to uninstall all of that one by one to see whats doing it i'll probably just get new headphones.
Hi all,
I'm facing a really weird problem with my Z2. I use a pair of Creative EP-630s with my Z2 and PowerAmp as my music player app. Yesterday, while playing music, suddenly my earphones went silent. I thought the jack was loose, and tried pushing it hard into the phone output jack - doing which I noticed a split second of music output before it went silent again. I tried doing this a few more times with the same result and gave up. Later I tried the noise cancelling NC31 earphones which came with the phone and it started playing music normally. No problems whatsoever. I tried the EP-630 again, and I got the same split second audio and silence. I tried 2-3 other earphones on it, and all of them played split second audio and then went silent. However, the NC-31 is playing fine.
There is no problem with the EP630 as it is playing fine on my other phones. I tried restarting, leaving the phone off for a period and then turning it on, but to no avail. If it's a HW problem then the NC31 wouldn't have played. But it keeps playing fine! I know about the OMTP and CTIP jack standard thingie, but the thing is, the EP-630 payed absolutely fine for 2-3 months and it suddenly went silent. I can't take it to the Service, as I bought it without warranty. Any ideas? I'm pretty stumped.
I really don't like the sound output of the NC31, otherwise I'd have continued using it.
EDIT: I forgot to add, I'm using a D6503, unrooted with stock firmware on KitKat 4.4.4. The problem is the same with the Walkman player, Video player and VLC.
EDIT 2: I bit the bullet and performed a factory reset. It's working now, at least for the time being. How strange.
Hello! I've searched everywhere for answers and fixes about my problem, but unfortunetly I didn't find anything.
Problem 1: Since I installed the latest update to Oreo [RNE-L21I 8.0.0.332 (C432)] I have problem with the stock EQ, and others from the Play Store - when bass boost is turned on, the sound from headphones is awful. When bass boost is turned off this issue disappears, but is annoying since I really enjoyed the sound before installing this update. I tried different pairs of headphones, different EQ apps, restarting, Hard resseting, etc. no fix unless I turn off bass boost.
Problem 2: When I connect my phone via AUX cable to my car, home subwoofer or anything like that music play normally for 2-3 mins then somehow volume is turned down (and when I check is turned to the max, so it's not that the volume is turned down to protect the hearing) and the only fix is to get out the cable and insert it again. This is also really annoying, because I can't listen to one song normally. Yes, I tried different cable (like I already said it happens to different devices), hard resseting and etc. And yes, the problem is still on when I use the stock music app, YouTube and other apps, so it's not an issue with the app. I also found out that my dad has the same issue with his Huawei Y5 II.
I really look forward to any fix since I really enjoy this phone, it's been only a month since I bought it and yes, it is in warranty but I want to try anything that I can do to fix this before I send it.
