Music + Notification = Quite music. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Basically if I'm listening to music with headphone and I get a notification the music volume doesn't go to its original level, I have to press the audio down button for it to go back to what it was.
I'm using a CM9 Nightly (07-05-2012) with Siyah kernel 3.2RC1 also happened on precisois versions of CM9 and on stock kernel.
Anyone else with this issue? Is it ROM related? It cant be a modem issue? Suggestions much appreciated.

Yup it's rom related. It is known bug for CM9 and AOKP ROM.

ROM related, posted billions of times. Use PowerAMP as a temporary fix.

Why does poweamp fix it? Cyanogen had a similar issue before where the the app didn't take back audio control or something. Isn't this just the same idea?

Music Quality - Community Rom V1.3

I'm on the Community Rom V1.3 (flashed v1.2 kernel) and am having problems with my music quality. Any time I run anything while listening to music (via Pandora or my music app) the quality is poor. The music "skips" or has a "staticy".
Is anyone else having this problem?

Are you using the voodoo sound app from the market? If you couple that with the galaxy s tuner app you can do quite a bit for quality & volume. I haven't had anything like what you're getting though but I'm on the otb1.4 kernel.

No, I'm not using the voodoo sound app. However, I don't believe that is what was causing the problem. I believe my problem was related to CWM 3.0... so I flashed back to stock, flashed CWM version 2.5... and flashed the community rom v1.3. I'm waiting for my phone to reboot before checking to see if the problem is still there.

You're not referring to a "popping" sound, are you? If you are, then it's a known issue on Voodoo Kernel Version 8.

It's a similar sound to what you may have experience when downloading a bad Napster file back in the day. Or when listening to a poor vinyl record that is scratched a bit. I'll report back either way once I've restored.
The problem is still there. I'm surprised nobody else is having this issue as I've searched everywhere to no avail.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
As said above it is a voodoo sound v8 problem. It is mostly in regards to touch input we think, so if you sony use your phone while listening it's fine.
Or you can find an older kernel that doesn't implement v8 and enjoy the flawless glory of un glitch-y voodoo sound.

Thank you, Huntredgo. Perhaps you have a good kernel recommendation that I can flash over Community v1.3?
I attempted to flash imnuts' stock kernel (via Odin) over community v1.3 and I received the "permasung" when trying to reboot. Still trying to find a kernel that will solve the issue.

Do this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13644624&postcount=14
If you don't know it -> small latency errors caused higher frequency crackles, larger latency errors caused lower frequency pops.

The problem persists. I changed my input to bfq and can still hear the popping sound. Especially when I'm touching the screen in any manner.
I also tried older kernels.
Any other suggestions?

Default Music Player?

Okay so every single time I play music, whether I have my headphones plugged in, my speakers plugged in, or just playing my music out loud, it will stop, start and change songs as and when it wants too.
I've tried all different headphones from 99p ones to £300 ones, and it keeps happening, I've done the same with the speakers.
I've used a few different kernels and roms and it happened on all of them.
I've then also used apps like poweramp and playerpro, with the same outcome.
Does anyone else have this problem, and if so how do you fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I've always had this problem, and I've had the phone since November but only really thought of asking on here for a solution.
& It's the stock version.
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: I9100XXLPH
Kernel version: [email protected]#3
Build number: IML74K.XXLPH
Have you tried re flashing your original stock firmware? Try Sammobile and find your original firmware, flash it and see if the problem persists. Could have been a faulty firmware that shipped with it.

I haven't tried Winamp. I'll take a look!
Can't believe it took us this long to suggest a different music player lol. If winamp doesn't work try Poweramp or PlayerPro

[Q] CM9 - Notifications stops music

Hi,
When I receive a notification while listening to muaic it stops the playback. Anything I can do? I can't enable voodoo sound on CM kernel, and don't want to change a kernel for that.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yeah, this is a bug in CM9. Changing the volume using the volume keys should work to bring the music back
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
But is a reported bug? It'll be solved soon?
Bump. Same issue. Can't find it on http://review.cyanogenmod.com
The bugg is still there with CM9 RC2. WTF !
Really? I thought that the changelog said they fixed it?
I think their change log meant when u get a notif, the music won't stop playing but the volume decreases on its own.. kinda irritating though

Sound loudness between ROMS

OK so I know that the GS2 has the EU sound cap on it. And I know how to get to the service menu but that does t always work in CM10. My question is why is there no set sound level between ROMs? To see what I'm talking about, install Chameleon ROM and listen to audio using headset. Then try a CM ROM and you'll notice a huge loss of loudness.
Thoughts?

CM10 presently has a known volume bug.
You can use extweaks (with Siyah, dream or Dorimanx kernel) to boost three headset volume.
Or
download voodoo louder or similar apps to achieve that.
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
I do that but still not as loud as Chameleon ROM. Thanks for the info, Emma do some more digging around to see what happening.

Difficult to say with nearl no information.
Are you on stock ROM, stock kernel and have you no audio "booster" app installed or flashed?
If everything is stock/original, then it could be a hardware issue.
If you are still on warranty, go to the store/a service center and ask for a repair/replacement.
If you are using a audio "booster" app, disable/freeze/unistall it and try again.
If you are on a custom kernel, there might be some special audio settings. try to set everything to default values. If that does not help, flash a stock kernel.
Same for custom ROM. If issues persist, flash a stock ROM.
Good luck !
