music pauses when opening apps? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

well the app itself keeps running, just that the music just "blacks out" for a short period. for example, im playing a song. at 00:10 i open an app, and the music blacks out, even though the music player is still running. then the music returns at say, 00:13. is the s3 supposed to stutter like that? =( or isit a problem with the default music player?

sounds like a buffering problem, with power amp you can tweak buffer settings,

Do you have the gallery set to auto close?
im not having this problem, but i am having a simaler one. I started noticing to today, i was listening to a song and around 30 seconds it started playing another song. then i restarted it and it just stopped at the middle. happened to other songs as well. it gets really annoying. it has done it on 3 music players, including the default.
You need to make sure that the music player, gallery and purchased music are NOT on the auto-end list in the Task Manager.

Music stops playing while gaming

Hey guys!
I'm experiencing this very annoying issue with my s3:
I usually play games and listen to music at the same time, and after a bit of gaming, the music stops. When I restart the music and go back to the game, after a few seconds it stops again.
If I exit the game and the close everything it's opened in the mean time using the task killer, and then restart the game and music is works fine for a few minutes after which it stops again.
Please note that this if happening with both PowerAmp and the stock music player. I am also on Omega 5.2, and the game I usually play is Real Racing 2.
Has anyone else encounter this? Any fixes?
Thanks!
Maybe real racing needs the ram music player have.. Does it do the same on other games?

it's not an exact thing...for example today i played the game for an hour straight while listening to music and did not stop...
i guess it's related to ram...
i also raised power amp's priority to the highest and it still stops while playing...
Does this happen on cm9 also?

I have this issue with music and browsing, a reboot sorted it out in the short term.. Annoyed Mr so much that I've resorted to listening to the radio rather than my music, frustrating.

haven't tried cm9...
Its probably not the ram... Or the ROM. Its sounding like its more or less an automated task killer?

I do use Advanced task killer, but I made sure to add the music players to the ignore list...It's not that the player process is killed, it just stops playing the music....it kinda' pauses..
It might be worth mentioning that I only have 16 bit, 44-48 kHz FLAC files...so no mp3's...but I expect the quad core inside my s3 to cope with that well...
nope.
music still playing in background while playing games with game sound and music on.
didn't have this problem in XXALEF nor now in XXALF6

it's not an exact test....I usually kill everything unnecessary before opening the music player and then the game.
Sometimes I get to play 10 minutes before the music stoping...sometimes I play 1 hour...
For the stock player, Music Player settings, there is a Music Auto Off setting. But since it is like happening randomly in your case and even in PowerAmp, I doubt this is the cause but you might want to look into it .

yeah, the music auto off setting is set to off..
Maybe its due to the motion control..Go to settings>Motion>Go to "Turn over to mute/pause" option> Turn it off> Might solve the problem, Not sure!:silly:
Also try turning off "Palm touch to mute/pause" option in "Settings>Motion" itself
Music playback stops(pauses) the moment i launch Need For Speed Most Wanted(EA )....only with this game.......
Plays perfectly fine for other games....(No matter either its the play music or a third party player)

Its probably RAM problem. You can try change kernel settings: Govenor to ondemand, and Internal SD to sio.

Music Player Keeps Pausing or Skipping Tracks

My stock music player keeps pausing after a few seconds of play, and occasionally it will skip to the next track. I am not sure how to fix this and it is very annoying. I have had this issue both rooted and stock. Looking on the web it appears that others are having this issue as well, and that turning off the flip motion does not help, as well as using other players. Has anyone found a fix for this?
EDIT: I have a feeling this is a sensitivity issue with the screen. I notice if I pause, it automatically starts playing sometimes. Perhaps the heat of my touch is being retained on the screen and the app has too sensitive of a setting to tap the play button?
I haven't used the stock music player because of the lack of features available. Try player pro from the play store. It is one of the best music apps I have found, even better then winamp in my opionion.

It will act up if you have it USB-connected to your computer and access the files on your storage card using your computer's explorer.
I'm not connected to anything. Does it while charging, not charging, bluetooth, headphones, phone speakers, stock app, other apps, ect.

Audio Skipping?

Has anyone else run in to random audio skipping? Sometimes I open up Google Music, or another music player, and inexplicably get skips in every song I play.
It seems the only player immune to this is the stock player.

Have you tried poweramp/player pro while setting priority to high or something of the sort?
Sent from my Nexus G LTE
i have had this problem as well....it went away on JB...but jellybean has had other quirks....less annoying but....i did not have it on stock ICS...stock had messaging issues....audio skipping had to go so i have settled on JB.....the quirks for JB have been video and call related...video stutters(minor) and calls not connecting(it took a month to manifest)

I ran into the same problem too, try going into settings > sound and disable screen lock sound, that worked for me.
