I've tried a few live streaming radio apps, both 3g and wifi, and everything keeps popping after 2sec. Pre-recorded stuff works fine, but "live" streaming audio sounds like the buffer isn't big enough.
Anyone else with poor performance in this area, or maybe even a fix?
Thanks!
Is anyone else having some issues with the music playback on their 3VO?
I had no issues and things were working fine, then all of the sudden this morning while listening via headphones as its 5am and the wife is sleeping, the music seemed to start skipping 15 seconds at a time. A quick pause and play would fix it temporarily, but then it would do it again about 30-40 seconds later.
I was downloading 2 movies (have a flight to Dallas in a few hours) from HTC Watch at the time so I thought maybe it was that the SD card couldnt take both the read/write at the same time but it continued afterwards for a bit as well.
Gonna try a hard reset but I wanted to see if others were having any issues as well.
I havent had any issues yet. I use my 3VO to listen to music couple hours a day and no problems.
Has anyone else experience the same problem where their music would not play smoothly anymore Neutrino v2.0 and v2.1(p)? My music played just fine on v1.4.
I'm using powerAMP and I've already tried increasing the audio buffer and the audio thread priority and neither is fixing the problem. This happens both from the speaker and through the headphone.
I saw a post about this in the main dev thread no one else seemed to have followed up on it =(.

I think it has something to do with the 'Media step' mod, which I deleted from V2.0 onwards so it shouldn't be a problem...
Can you describe in more detail what happens?
The phone runs very smooth in all other aspects, but the audio would hiccup...as if I was listening to CDs that were scratched.
I have had the same experience. I have tried different music programs so it's not app-specific. I've also flashed a different kernel to see if that could be the problem.
I have noticed I do not get the same bugs as on different cm7 ROMs where the speaker wouldn't work at all after unplugging from the car dock so the trade-off's been worth it.
I only experiance this when the phone switches from 3g to H. And the slipping becomes extremely bad when I lose service for a bit. If I go to networks and select 2g only, it seems to somewhat fix it. Until I drop service. Used several different radios with the same result
I'm going a hunch that the tweak to the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec in the build.prop is somehow interfering - I've edited mine from 150 to 50 and I think it sounds smoother on the speaker but that could just be deceiving. I'll update after I've used it in the car dock on my way home.
-Update-
To I'm sure no one's surprise, this did not work. Music still pops. Maybe once or twice every thirty seconds.
I just tried playing music in airplane mode and the music doesn't skip either with Wi-fi on or off.
Is this problem only with PowerAmp? Does it work fine with other music players?

Every music player. Stock, double twist, poweramp etc. I have tried them all.
Confirmed for me with every music player, not just with powerAMP.
TTT Any fix yet?
I've been looking into this over the weekend. It happens on all media players I've tested:
DoubleTwist
WinAmp
PowerAMP
Stock
Sometimes it is so subtle that you wouldn't noticed if you didn't literally have every nuance of a song memorized. I took logcat logs and marked every "skip" I heard, while playing video games with my headphones on for a few hours this weekend, but nothing stuck out of the logs.
This issue is not in 1.4S, but was in 2.0, 2.1, and still in 2.1P. Sorry I don't have any other useful info.

Will yours skip if in airplane mode? Mine doesn't.
mine actually skips in airplane mode aswell, but rarely...
See if it skips in V2.2...
Bad news...the audio still skips. I'm seeing that it happens often especially when there are changes in reception, like when it's switching between h+ and 3g...
I can happily confirm that setting SeCPU profiles to sleep at max and min @ 456mhz fixes the skipping.
Hmmm, I thought that would hinder the battery saving effects of clocking down. I've been clocking the CPU down to around 216-312 Mhz when my phone is idled.
Usually I'm playing audio on the phone when I'm driving and I have the phone plugged in to the car charger, I'll try to increase the min clock for when the phone is charging and report back.
I don't know if it's worth mentioning again, but with the same setting I have now in V1.4, the audio doesn't skip at all. I'll also test if this is happening with weekly #6 as well.
I realize this is a bit off topic, but seeing as how my issue is audio related I figured I'd give it a shot.
In short, my internal speaker is going in and out. There's no specific instances I'm seeing, but I can say I notice it most when it goes out during a phone call. A couple of times I've noticed a bit of a raspy sound, kind of like a loose speaker wire or skipping cd would make (which leads me to think it's the speaker itself).
That being said, if anyone else is having this issue I'd like to help out as best I can.
I'm on 2.2, btw. Currently running 100% EE, with the CM7 provided Google Apps.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the intrusion.
I purchased my DNA a couple days before Christmas and have been loving it! I have an issue and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing it?
I installed TuneIn Radio and all the stations that I try to play constantly buffers. They will play for a few seconds then buffer then play again and buffer again.
This happens constantly. I can't listen to anything for more than a few seconds at a time. My signal strength is strong and I get 11M down at worst when using it.
Everything seems to work fine on WiFi and I have not seen the problem there.
Has anyone experienced anything similar in TuneIn or another streaming app?
Thanks,
Vince
Yes I previously would use Tune in radio to listen to podcasts but the buffering was maddening. Works great on Wifi but for some reason it does not work well over lte. I have moved on from tune in and am now using Stitcher which works perfect over lte.

Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be the app also, but two other phones on lte side by side stream without a problem. I also have an issue where scrolling the list of episodes in Netflix is not working correctly. If I swipe down the list moves up a little and a swipe up moves the list down slightly (very jerky and in the wrong direction).
I've done a couple factory resets and reset the sim with the same results. I'm going back to the store this morning to exchange this unit for a new one. I'll see how things work out after that.
Thanks
Just a note to let everyone know that I no longer have the buffering issue after replacing my DNA. I also heard from TuneIn Radio and they just released a new version that may fix the issue for others that were experiencing excessive buffering over LTE.
Thanks,
Vince
i use TuneIn over LTE all the time and have never had a problem.
When connected to my Sony SRS-BTX500 bluetooth speaker (is it really aptX capable because my phone says so but couldn't find info about it online) while streaming music over WiFi or surfing the net the music drops out for half a second and then plays again normally every now and then but the more serious problem is that sometimes I can't even surf the net while being connected to bluetooth because it simply isn't able to load the webpage.
It just happend to me minutes ago on facebook. I was surfing completely normal then decided to listen to music on the bluetooth speaker by streaming music from Spotify over WiFi and when I wanted to continue surfing facebook it couldn't load the next page.
After switching bluetooth off and reloading the page everything worked normal.
After reconnectiong both worked together but the sound droped out every now and then.
I was on stock Sony firmware and ROM 17.1.A.2.55 bought in Germany.
I already lowered the streaming quality of Spotify to normal because with extreme I didn't could think about surfing the net.
As far as I remember the WiFi even dropped out several times on extreme quality.
I already downloaded the files to have the locally but even then I'm having the same problem.
Furthermore I also upgraded to the .69 firmware and RomAmur 2.0 ROM and it didn't help.
When switching off WiFi and turning mobile data on everthing works completely flawless but this can't be it.
Additionally I configured my AP from greenfield mode WiFi n only back to b/g mixed and mixed mode but the problem still isn't solved this way.
quite frustrating the whole thing
Kind regards
