Music while in Sleep Mode cause distortion? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was wondering if anyone else noticed this on the galaxy s III?
Listening to music on headphones while using the phone sounds great, but when i turn the screen off/idle, it produces these small crackling and distortion noises randomly in songs.
my guess is that it has to do with the battery saving function in the wolfson chip, but not sure?
any help is appreciated!

[Q] slight hissing with headphones?

Hi all,
Do you notice a slight hissing when you use headphones? I notice it if I'm playing soft music (like classical stuff)...when the music player first starts playing, it "powers up" the audio chip and I hear the hissing. Theres actually a slight high pitch sound to the hissing. If I pause it, the hissing sound stays on for a few seconds before the OS powers down the audio chip, then it goes silent.
Unpausing causes the hissing/highpitch to come back.
Do I have a crappy unit or are they all like this?
I noticed the same thing on my evo3d as well as the photon.
I just tried using a microphone/headphone, and I get the same hissing when the audio chip is used. The headphones are pretty good quality. I don't get this hiss from my mp3 players.
Anyone else?
I noticed it using pandora. Between songs there was static. It seemed to stop during playback.

You need to go to sounds in the menu and turn off the noise enhancements that will eliminate the static I had the same problem

sound settings / media audio effects / wired stereo devices
The setting was already disabled. So I don't think that's it.
music hiss with headphones
Anyone ever find a Photon 4g solution? I'm guessing it's just what you get from the current smartphone's DAC chip. I only really notice it on quiet music for the most part anyway. More annoying are the notification sound or pauses while playing music despite sound settings being adjusted right.. I think anyway.
I notice too but also when you plug it to power source it becomes louder.

It seems like the worst culprit in the noise enhancements is the surround function...when I turned just that off there was a big reduction in the hiss.
I got mine phone the week after thanksgiving and have heard that nearly nonstop... while driving I often have headphones from my old palm pre on and the high pitch sound is not unlike that which you hear when using headphones on a commercial airliner's 3.5mm seat headphone jack.
after extended periods it's very annoying and actually causes me to tense my shoulders and get a headache.
my enhancements are also off, it's just there, it's more prevalent when charging.
I hear it too thankfully its not too loud so although it's annoying. To the guy above me be careful driving with headphones in as it's illegal in most states to do so as it makes it harder to hear emergency vehicles.
Anyone try using winamp or another player to see if the hissing is happening with other players?

That high pitched whine you heard on the airline's headphone jack is the result of 400Hz AC power that all airplanes use.

Yes they all got it. Connecting to AC charger/power line will keep the noise being heard from headphone, as if the audio pipeline was activated in playing music, but USB connection doesn't trigger that. The hissing pitch is a flag but the noise level sounds within a common range - better turn off audio effects (bass enhancement was a good one and could be an exception). Positive thinking, since they said headphones are not good for long-time music listening, the audio chip is gonna enforce that.
I still like Moto Photon over other sprint android phones:
1. World phone with both CDMA and GSM. (was considering Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G but it has no GSM/SIM switch.)
2. 4G and powerful dual-core system (1 & 2 already exclude the rest options).
And 3. the most unique design of it:
"The Photon 4G's cut-off corners give the phone a decidedly more masculine look, as do the gunmetal gray border" - cnet.
"lots of tasteful details..." - engadget.com.
so does anyone know what the DAC in the photon actually is? i only ask because after 20 minutes or so with no luck with google and my query for dac in the mopho forums resulted with this thread.

Speaker Buzzing When listen songs at very low sound!

I often listen songs with the minimalist sound at night...I'm experiencing buzzing sound from the speaker when I listen at the lowest sound on PowerAMP. I'm also experiencing it on the stock music player also...Do you guys also having it or just me?
Blown speaker, no buzz here

What do yo mean? :O
Do you hear buzzing when you turn the volume up?
What's the sound quality like with the volume up?
Where is your phone sitting when you are playing music?
Does it sound the same through headphones?

No..it works fine when I turn the volume up...Sound quality is crystal clear when the volume is high...Didn't try with the headphones yet! The buzz sound is so low..I can only hear when I place the speaker just beside my ears.

Probably normal interference sound you are hearing. If you only hear it on low with the phone right at your ear, that seems most likely.
Or..........metal plate in head?
Perhaps at higher volumes the buzzing sound is cancelled out by the music? Get a can of compressed air and give it a blast, there may be a small piece of something rattling around in there (very small).
When you listen at night, is your phone plugged into the charger? If so, you may be hearing switcher noise from the battery charger. Try a different one. Just guessing.

Clicking headphone noise

Hi, guys i noticed a clicking popping noise in my left headphone only during music playback and in the middle volume level if it's low i can't hear it would you say it's hardware or software related? Seems like if there is more base in the music i don't hear it as much.

Sounds like a blown speaker in the headphones. Do you have a pair of ear buds you can swop out ? If you don't here it with the ear buds it's hardware.

That happened to me once, I rebooted my phone and the distortion went away:good:
I guess you're right. After the reboot doesn't make it anymore. Think it's really a bug. Hope they fix it
if it happens again just double check outdoor mode is off just in case. it sounds pretty bad, even at lower volumes.
side note, has anyone tried viper4android yet? curious to know if it runs yet since the built in ROG eq only covers from 250hz to 8khz, viper gives you 60hz to 16khz I believe
ive had the same speaker bug that resetting seems to correct
but what im wondering is if anyone knows how to increase the headphone jack volume
im almost always on max volume with how low the audio is
I've been having problems with the aux jack being distorted only in my car. That's been going on for the week I've had mine, but just last night I had really poor audio from my Bluetooth earbuds. A restart fixed it but it's becoming a big enough pain I'm considering returning it.
Edit: Using the fan attachment and the aux jack on it yields normal, staticless audio.

I had to install the BOSE Companion App in order to increase the Volume to my BT Headphones

earpiece distortion

Hello, I experience distorted sound when using earpiece for calls. It starts from 70-100% volume. At medium or low volume it isn't distorted.
Also, when using speakers for media, theres dust coming out of the earpiece from stereo effect when playing media near max volume.
Does anyone have this?

I am facing the same issue. There is a cracking sound coming whenever I connect an earphone. I have tried multiple earphones but the same thing happens every time.
