Has anybody else had issues when playing audio files on their phone either through headphones or through the speaker? When I stream the audio it sounds just fine but when I put the physical audio file on my phone is pops and clicks.
My Phone:
At&t SGS3
No Root/Stock IOS
Here is what I have tried so far:
-Placed audio file on internal SD card.
-Placed audio file on external SD card.
-Tried multiple music players.
-Tried different headphones and used the speaker.
-Verified that the audio file does not have pops and clicks when playing on other devices or streaming to my phone via "Play Music"
Thoughts suggestions? Bad phone? Default my phone and start over ;( ?

I am debating on taking it back to Costco and getting it replaced and see if that will fix my issue but I would rather find some software bug.

Are you on power saver mode? also try to close all the running applications and see if it fixes. If not, try downloading any other music player(Apollo or poweramp)
I have the same annoying issue. No matter the music player or volume setting I still get the popping noise. I don't have any other issues with the phone so I hope it's a software bug. Since the phone is rooted i would rather not have to take it back and get it exchanged.

I have the same issue however mine is limited to PowerAmp music app. In my case, I learned that certain albums have this issue and that when I listen to them in the stock music player and Ubermusic (another music app in the Play Store) I had no popping sound. For my issue, I have a theory that the only music that pops is the music I copy over from my iTunes library. I have music stored in two locations c:/Music and c:/Music/iTunes/iTunes media/iTunes Music, only the albums copied over from iTunes directory have resulted in popping. With my last phone, Droid Incredible, I did not have any popping issues so I know the problem is on Samsung's end. I even emailed the dev for Poweramp and they believe the issue lies with Samsung since other users notice this issue in multiple music apps.
I've been trying to listen to music in my spare time from work to see if there is any pattern to the issue.
Well I've had the issue even in the tune in radio app. Went to sprint and they ordered an exchange for Tuesday. Had to unroot of course.

Did you think it is the way that iTunes converts the music? All of my music is stored in iTunes, I will have to rip an album not in iTunes and see if that fixes it. From the responses, it might sound more like a software bug than a hardware issue.

This i don't understand. I don't hear it either with that app. I'm going to retest audio through Bluetooth. But since we're in the minority I feel it's best to exchange the phone. I want to be able to use whatever player I want no? ringtones are still affected.
I still hear a pop in between songs.

Just tried power amp via Bluetooth and it pops worse than the other players. Calls sound fine. Definetly exchanging this on Tuesday.
I'm not sure what to think of this cracking issue. One one hand, Poweramp is useless (for me) but stock music player and a severely outdated (by about a year) Ubermusic aren't noticeably giving me cracking noise...yet. Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Let us know if the new phone fixes the issue...
FYI: I only ever hear popping and clicking when my USB cable is plugged into my noisy computer, and not my A/C charger, or when unplugged. I hope you're not returning the phone for this reason...
This happened to me using power amp pro. Is it an annoying buzz every now and then? If so that's what I had. I emailed the developer and he gave me some instructions on how to tweak the advanced settings and it fixed it for me. I'm not sure if it will be the same for the other players however it is worth a shot! Also It happened to most my songs but there would be the odd one that wasn't affected. I don't use itunes at all for my music so I can confirm that is not the cause.
Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks => Audio Thread Priority. Change it to +2 or the highest.
(if it still does it on +2 switch it to the highest)
Hope it works for you guys too!
My phone doesn't pop or crack but you can hear the static/hiss/white noise when something is being played. If the music/video is paused the sound goes away. But when the audio starts to play, you can hear the hiss on low volume but will go away on high (probably cause the actual audio is overwhelming the hiss).
Is this a hardware issue as well? It's a bit annoying when you have for example a piano playing, acoustic guitar, or some soft background/vocal going on cause the hiss can be very well heard in those situation but disappears when a lot of elements of music are mixed.

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
Sent from my Atrix 4G
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.

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.

I can consistently make the stock Music app crash. I just go and select a song or album from the library (usually by Artist), which will cause it to start playing music. Then I go and select another song and it will crash with the message the music player "has stopped unexpectedly" etc. etc. "Force Close". If it doesn't crash immediately, I just try playing another song. Switching songs twice does it every time.
I have almost 7.5GB of music, which I guess is a lot, but shouldn't cause crashes. I sync using Winamp on my desktop, though I think I also had the issue synching with other applications. Other apps work mostly fine. Winamp rarely crashes. MixZing and DoubleTwist have never crashed.
I thought it was the phone, so I took it back to the Sprint store. The Sprint guy remarked how hot my phone was (didn't seem out of the ordinary to me) and gave me a brand new phone. My music is on my 16GB SD card, so I tried it out 5 minutes after swapping to the new phone and it still crashes (though about all my other, unrelated phone problems have been fixed).
I've uploaded a video of this current phone crashing to YouTube, but I don't have enough posts to link to an outside URL.
Anyone else having this issue? Not like I need to use the stock player, but I'm just curious if this is only me.
I'm also having that problem. Thought it was just me, but I guess not. I have no idea how to fix it.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Not just you guys. I've been able to re-create that same crash, and have since I got the phone. It's not my music collection, as the exact same collection on the exact same SD card plays perfectly on the stock HTC Playler on my Evo 4G. It's the newer HTC Music app, it's buggy. I've posted about this in the 'current bugs' thread, and also over at Android Forums. Some other people also get the problem. Hopefully HTC will address it. I think a lot of other users don't notice this is because they use a 3rd party music player, such as google music beta, or poweramp or something like that. I like the stock player though, because of the lockscreen music widget
Thank god. Thought I was taking crazy pills.
Are you guys getting this while headphones plugged in? I had this issue intermittently, grabbed an app on the market called headset blocker widget, haven't had the issue since. I have not had the issue on speaker. ymmv

Nope, I've had this issue without headphones. Headphones will only cause the player to skip and pause, and I got Headset Blocker for that.
Haven't really use it so no idea or much info but there is a nice app in the market is call power AMP and is great player, you can download a free version or buy the full one for 5$ really good and great developer to, btw it has EQ options integrated and it works great
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
My HTC Music Player is also buggy. Although, instead of force closing it just shuts down and I have to reboot. I am on my second 3VO handset, but I had the exact same probem with my first one.
I just started using RealPlayer Beta, works well...
I've been having all sorts of issues with the stock app as well, crashing and music skipping. Glad I read this thread though. Appreciate being pointed to the fix to my songs skipping. thanks.
What features would you like to see added/removed, and are you happy with it compared to the stock music app, or how do you feel it stacks up against another music app.
*This is a general topic, and I'm just curious to see the community's response.*
I don't use it. It doesn't have features I need.
Namely, ability to keep the screen from sleeping, and the ability to limit where it looks for music at.
i like gmusic. I dont use it daily (I use slacker daily) but gmusic works great when I do need it. Its far more reliable than when it first came out, so they're definitely making progress.
My only complaint is when I flash a new rom, it registers my phone as a new device so it adds it to gmusic (which is great) but google limits it to 8 devices. So occasionally I need to go into gmusic website and delete my old devices, which is all the same phone. Its not really a complaint for google but i wish there was a way for it to detect that its the same device/IMEI
I personally love google music I use it daily. I have a computer for school and don't want to cramp it up with music so I can stream everything. Also I use my phone in my truck for music and it is nice to have access to all my music when I need it.
Absolutely love it. I have my entire collection stored. My main problem lies when I'm doing file management and the media scanner starts while I'm playing music. Google Music stops streaming completely and I have to manually restart it. I turned caching off, so that the song being played is solely dependent on the connection, but it still does it. I suppose it stops to look for new songs that might have been added. I'd like it to at least resume playback when scanning stops.
The other thing is with optimization I guess. In my last billing cycle, I got throttled and streaming was impossible (as expected). However, Pandora was still able to stream entire songs, for long sessions without stutter (it just took longer between songs). I'm curious if it'd be possible for them to improve performance on slow networks, so that it's on par with Pandora.

General is something related directly to the phone or an app that comes stock with the phone. GoogleMusic does not fit that description since it has to be installed by the user and not everyone uses it. This should have been in Themes and Apps. Just sayin'.
I wish it would sync with a folder on my phone with all my music, so that when it tries to play a song, it checks that folder on my phone first before downloading the song with a weird name in another random folder. That way, whenever I add a song on my computer to the Google Music Folder, it adds to my phone as well when I try to play it, keeping my music in sync.

I love google music.
Especially after switching from iTunes and my iPhone 4. I really hated iTunes haha
i like it on my zoom and Google TV. But I wish it would sync playlist too. A good playlist takes time and it wouldn't be nice to listen to them on phone, tablet and TV. The main thing that make be go back to the Samsung music player is that while connected to my Bluetooth stereo it shows track info on the stereo but the Google music doesn't. Not a big thing, but enough to keep me using the samsung player. If those two were fixed it would be a perfect player.

im using PowerAmp i think its better than gMusic
Not bad... Steaming better but still slower than other streaming apps.
My biggest complaint is music purchased can only be played in gmusic and can't be downloaded to phone or computer. Frustrating when I paid for something. if they keep prices at $4.99 album $.49 song I might get over it... Doubtful that will last.

Hello!
I bought the GS2 phone 2 waeks ago..and i running CheckRom V6 HD, the problem is with the music player:
You've probably figured, i put songs on my MicroSD and for some unknown reason the player selected one of my photos from the MicroCd and used it as song/band/album picture O_O
what can i do...?
now its using my friends photo, and its look really scary and disturbing

VERY true! i just went pro when the discount was on for £1.27 or something. insane experience compared to stock/doubletwist/other ones. i got a bluetooth stereo reciever which plugs into any set of speakers got some insane party set ups for university!
Hi, thanks in advance for the help.
I recently copied a lot of music from my computer to my phone, and I use Poweramp to play it. Everything is fine except for an annoying problem which I will try to describe as best as I can:
Each song has a length obviously, however, when in Poweramp, this length is increased for every song, producing a sort of very long gap at the end of every song. For example, if my song is 3:20 of music, Poweramp will add 15 more secs of useless space at the end of it, making it 3:35. Should I click the progress bar right at the end of the song, it will do nothing but immediately change to the next track (for example, if I want to play the last 5 seconds, nothing will play but it will only play the next track).
Summary: Poweramp adds useless, not even playable space at the end of every track.
I have tried doing a full rescan, a rescan, changing track names, clearing data, clearing cache.. nothing.
Can you please help me?

I've had this problem before and I still have it now. It seems like poweramp doesn't like manually encoded mp3's. So did you encode some? Like used a youtube to mp3 converter etc? If you did then the problem will arise. If you are patient enough you can encode the mp3 files again using audacity and export them as a 320kbps ones or you could just buy the original music through itunes or somewhere that legally sells downloadable mp3's

I don't know about Audials but yeah somehow Poweramp doesn't really like programs converting the mp3 files. And about Audacity I just accidentally found out about it and it works wonders after it exports the mp3 files and weirdly poweramp doesn't add those additional 15secs of playtime.

BUT you tend to lose even more quality when converting from lossy to lossy AFAIK... It would work as a temporary solution though. Thanks for the tip!
I had contacted their customer service and they knew NOTHING, they even asked me to send them a sample song just to tell me to do the Full Rescan. I would ask for a refund, but the app is so good at everything else!
Did you contact them?

i'm no music expert but yeah it would lose quality but the difference is unnoticeable imo. The app is really quite good and really stands out of all the music apps on the playstore. And nope i haven't contacted them about this issue as I've downloaded most of my music on itunes so no additional encodes were required.
If you don't add any more compression and change encoding - you wont lose quality. Its not the process that loses quality, its your settings

Oh ok I thought it was the process. Thank you! I will be transcoding all my music then still it's an ugly bug this one (I will be insisting on it to their customers support) , but you've both helped me, thanks again

good luck!
Good luck as well, it's got to be the best music player for me. Player pro does sound a tad better with the dsp packs but man, power amp looks great and works very well.

There was an update yesterday, I will try it with the problematic music and see if the problem has been solved.

Nope the update didn't fix it.
I was checking and analyzing everything today and it does have to do with the encoding. I had mp3s that were shown on iTunes as 'MPEG Audio' and some others as 'MPEG Audio File'. The first ones had the problem when added to Poweramp, the other ones didn't.

And to me it seems like MaxMP (creator of the app) is ignoring the problem. Oh well... the app is superb however when it comes to problems like this the support is quite disappointing.
