[Q] Music Playback Problems - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there....... I'm experiencing music playback problems since I came over to DarkyROM2 XXKG2 Odexed Base 3. I've posted this question on the DarkyROM Forum and no one seems to have a clue as to what my problem is.
I'm primarily playing MP3 and FLAC files........ out of about 50 songs in my playlist so far, only two playback at the proper speed and it's never the same two, the balance playback so fast that a 4 minute song goes by in about 8 - 12 seconds. I've tried several music players PowerAmp Pro, ProPlayer, Mixzing etc. all to no avail.
Is there someone out there that can point me in a direction to some answers, I've been searching forums for the past four days and have found nothing that works.
Thanks

That looks like its the rom you are using change the rom to a stock rom and test .

Reset my phone back to stock ROM and the music playback problems persist. Same old thing Alvin and the Chipmunks on all tracks.
Anyone out there have an answer?

[Q] Strange Winamp Playback Glitch

No, it's not the one where my music stops at 2 minutes .
I have tried searching for this topic, but searching for Winamp glitch, or Winamp playback issue keeps on bringing back the same threads.
My glitch is pretty odd.
When playing a group of songs from a playlist or an album from a certain artist the song will occasionally insert another track -in the middle- of the currently playing track.
For example:
If I am currently playing Track 1, somewhere in the middle of the track the song will switch to Track 4 but Winamp is still showing that I'm playing Track 1 (with the minutes counting down as usual). If I let it continue playing, towards the end of the track I the song usually switches back to Track 1. If I skip the song it will skip as normal, if I go to the beginning of the song the problem replicates itself.
This does not happen all the time, but it happens often enough to annoy the **** out of me. Anybody experience a similar issue?
I have had this happen...with the stock player AND with Miui player. Just think of it as a mashup!
If it happened more often I would be quite annoyed...
I've had this happen as well using both the stock player and winamp. There seem to be a lot of bugs that Motorola shipped this device with. This one and the front microphone/44100hz sound recording bug are two of the worst in my opinion.

Yeah, a mash up would actually be the perfect way to describe what's happening. Although most times the songs don't match so it sounds like ****
So I guess nobody has come up with a solution?
Edit: Just to add... I won't be too bothered by this glitch if I could simply skip to the next track. The problem is, I usually listen to music during my commute on motorcycle (1 hour each way) and don't have access to the phone controls. So I'm stuck having to listen to the mismatched music till it ends.
Happens to me too.

This has happened several times to me using the default music app. Does anyone know if this happens on other phones or is it our specifically?
Well I came from a nexus one and this never happened. ever! On my atrix I've also noticed skips where its like a bad cd but... its not

I had that problem too.
Just remove Winamp or your favorite Music Player from the Autoclose list in the Task Manager.
Get an app called "HeadSet Blocker" i had this issue on the default one. After using these..haven't had a song skipped yet. Its a widget so make you have turned on.

i use winamp every day and i've never came across this issue. i did previously experience a glitch with the song skipping in the beginning of the song but i no longer have that issue. running GingerBlur v1.3, latest winamp version. I also didnt experience this on the stock rom or on GladiAtrix.
Anybody getting distorted sound? I think it nay be a sample rate issue. Doesn't matter the level certain songs have clear distortion like its clipping but its not.

Try this song on your Atrix. Distorted for me.

I'm not sure if you are describing the bug I have had or not. I've had the default music player essentially just start taking over when I'm already using a different player. If you are rooted you can safely freeze the default music app and it fixes this problem.
I used to be a big fanboy of WinAmp, now due to too many failures /hickups I moved to MixZing. This player just works and I never experienced ANY problems.
Big thumbs up for that one - I'm never going back.
Try it out if you are not too hung up on ONLY WinAmp...
I've absolutely had this! Glad I'm not alone.
Its happened with the stock player, the leaked new player from a week ago, and even with doubleTwist.
Its rare and each time seems to be caused when I skip a track then decide to go backwards to the previous one.
All through the song its like it wants to skip back to the middle of the one I was on before I skipped back.
+1 for Mixzing. Just tried it now & it seems way better than stock or Winamp. Thanks, Robert_it.

[Q] Possible bug in 2.3.4

There seems to be a bug in the stock music player on kenneths 2.3.4 beta. When i create a playlist, after a few hours songs start to go missing. Every time i check there are a few less songs in my playlist then i originally added. Is this a known issue or is there something i may be able to do to correct the problem?
Sorry I'm not able to help you man, I personally hate the stock music player. Why don't you try out some other players, like PowerAmp? Yeah, it's the one I use.

[Q] Problem with mp3 tags

I have tried asian GB firmwares for my SGA, namely DDKQ5 and XKPB, but the stock music player show mp3 tags for most (not all) of my chinese and jap songs as funny symbols. I tried using a different media player, such as Double Twist, but same result. The tags look ok when i open the sd card on the computer. When I tried XXKPH, all the tags showed up correctly as well. Froyo was fine with the tags, so i downgraded back to DDKC1. Anyone else having this problem with DDKQ5 or XKPB?
yes, that is framework problem. i never had this when i was using Froyo or VillainROM..
now CM7 fixes that
Wow that's a custom firmware right? I've looked around and it seems that custom firmwares do boost the speed of the device by a lot. But currently there's no custom firmware that's based on asian stock ace firmware right? Also I found out that the swype keyboard is not available in CM7? Sorry but I am new to custom firmwares....
I flashed my ace using the coderomv2b and used the ext4 app to format the sd. Performance is much better, but I'm having issues with the media player.
1. Some of the unicode mp3 tags are still incorrectly displayed in the stock player. I tried double twist but it was worse.
2. After I long press the menu key and type into the search box, nothing comes up in the stock media player.
3. The player seems to be skipping during playback.
Anyone else having these issues??

I was having problem with some .m4a songs, they keep their tag information in xml-format which is different from mp3 (which uses ID3). iPod and iphones doesnt have this problem since m4a are made by apple
m4a(Apple Lossless Audio Codec) are made for apple's product which is why they doesnt co-operate that well with android.
Solution:
Convert them to MP3. The only converter that i used who kept the tags was Switch Audio File Converter. You might use some other converter as well.
My songs are all in mp3 format, and are tagged using mediamonkey.
Thanks for your replies, but I flashed the blackhawk custom rom just to try it out and amazingly, the song information appears correctly, and I am able to perform search function in the media player. Haven't test the skipping part yet...
Btw anyone using the black hawk rom as well? I only managed to get quadrant scores of around 1000; I managed to get 1500 while on coderomv2b. I applied the crs check ram script...any ideas?
Edit: I forgot to enable the Media stagefright....my bad. :S Now I'm getting 1500+ as well on this rom.
Well even if your quadrant score is low it shouldnt matter as long as your phone is running in a good speed.
When you import your songs via mediamonkey, doesnt all your songs get transfered to the rootfolder? That happend to me which is why im not using it.

stock music player seek sound skipping?

Hi, I'm using Franco kernel4 (.35) and NightlyFourE v4.3.1 on my optimus one and find something (a little bit) strange, that is when I'm playing my music files in the stock music player, there is a disturbance like sound skipping, you know, strange sound/signals when I seek the tracks (by moving the track progress bar). It happens onl y for several files, but since I've played the same files in my former ROM (I used official GB before) and found no problem, I guess the problem isn't in my music files. I also tried other music app and found everything is okay, so the problem is ini the stock player. Anyone experienced it too?
How to have it fixed? i really love the stock player, are there any way to update/change the stock music player??
try flashing latest version!!!!!!
