Does anyone else have the problem in games of background music cutting out when sound is played? Happens in ffiii and great little war game. Gta3 seems fine. Running clean & fast 4.0.25. Happened in older firmware too
I have this problem too. And it is very annoying...
In the World of Goo game it plays background music, but when another sound effects appears - sound breaks for a length of sound effect time.
confirmed from the german archos forum too... problems with Asphalt HD, Spiderman HD and others.
greetings AOD
Strange that it hasn't been mentioned much on here.... irritating as hell
Even when music players plays music and you're typing on stock keyboard - there the same problem.
I noticed this issue pop up after the migration to the latest kernel version (3.0.21) in fw 4.0.24 and 4.0.25 (both official and surdu's mods). The Bard's Tale is affected, as are some other games ( Devil's Attorney also).
The sound begins to play, and then it cuts out.

The issue is not low sound level, the issue is sound cutting out after a few moments (less than a second).
I've noticed the same thing especially in Bards Tale, I get the first second or less of the dialog then it goes silent (background music stays) also no sound effects in chaos rings.. This is really starting to get very annoying any found a work around?

I think it's related to the updated kernel present in 4.0.24 and 4.0.25. The games that are affected are primarily direct ports from other platforms, and I think they rely extensively on their game engines written in native code and directly ported to Android.

Why htc titan had lag YouTube videos and games is laggy too?
How do you mean Lag in YT videos? Are you using cellular data or WiFi? Which games seem to be lagging for you? I can honestly say i've not experienced this.
Got no lag on my Titan at all, quite the opposite.
No issues of lag. If even so, WP7 is even more responsive and snappier than windows mobile on the HD2 and android gingerbread on the samsung note.
Hello,
i had buy a Titan that have also lag in Youtube.
It is so that the buffering is a lot faster than the movie play.
But the movie stock's... when the buffering is 100% the movie play without
problem to the end.
I have changed the Titan with another one, but the Problem is still there.
Now i have give the Titan in repair by HTC.
Edit: Behind a Hardreset no Problems but when install more Apps the Problems beginn...
I have testet: Hardreset no Problem in Youtube than install Navigon and the lag is there
I have testet: Hardreset no Problem in Youtube than install ca. 10 Apps and the lag is there
Sorry for my bad english
Maybe this needs to be reported to youtube so that they can update the app
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
It is no Problem of App's... it's a Problem of Titan.
I have testet it with HTC-Youtube, Lazytube, etc. all have the lag.
When you play html5-videos with IE9 the lag is there
And IF i play sonic or star ninja lag is there
after update
I update today new htc ROM and still videos is laggy (
maybe it's a defective unit... better get a new one
i'm kinda worried bout this too
Haven't experienced any lag at all on Titan.
Iknow some guys, they own titan and they you tube lag too
I haven't experienced any lag at all on Titan either.
Maybe my phone is broken.i need replace and get new one.sorry my bad english
Don't return it yet. Turn off the srs sound enhancement. it's noted to cause lag in games and videos.

Yep, you only need to turn it off for audio though i believe. This should fix the lag.

I had pretty terrible lag during certain games like Sonic but reading another thread that was posted here, I disabled the SRS audio enhancement and it fixed the issue for the gaming. Maybe disabling the video for the Youtube would help out.
0 issues here.
Try turning off the sound enhancements in settings. the default is SRS, turn all of them off. Should fix some of the lag/stuttering.
I have the sonic issue as well but nothing else. Movies are fantastic and I think the video playback is second to none.
My SGP4.2 is so ridiculously slow and choppy it borders on being unusable. It's two days old and 8 haven't filled it with anything. At first i thought it was defective, but after seeing some of the review vids, they all act the same. I've rooted mine and removed all of the stuff that samsung put on there (literally have less than one page of apps even with the music software I downloaded), use a different launcher with just a single pane with no widgets at all, deleted all google apps so there is no syncing in the background, and even switched over to a lighter browser and deleted the stock, it still runs like crap. Using poweramp playing 320kbps mp3's, the music skips if i'm browsing the web. There's a two second delay from when i type and the letters apperearing on the screen. That's all i do with this thing, music. Only need a browser to find new music. Its weird because its hardware specs are basically the same as the desire z and xperia play i also have, but they literally run circles around this thing. All on gingerbread too. Is it just a really crappy rom samsung threw on here? Anything i can do? Searched and searched but couldn't find a overclockable kernel or lighter rom. Can't even find a custom recovery so i can flash that adrenaline patch.
Which rom do you run?
Is it the latest? My web browser was choppy at the beginning, but it works fine after the update.

The latest one i guess. Says i'm up to date when i check manually. Its not just web browsing. Everything and everywhere throughout the entire device. Poweramp stutters like crazy. Winamp works much smoother, but poweramp works fine on an unrooted stock desire z. Strange. I may just swap this one out for another. Im thinking it craps out when reading/writing to flash memory. If the replacement has problems too, prpbably just going to get a sony f806.

he has a 4.2 there is ONLY the stock or stock rooted ROM to use.
OP, tegrak overclock or No-frills CPU tuner and see what kind of overclock you can pull, also under advance audio tweaks in poweramp increase the audio buffer size to Large (+250 ms).
you can try doing a complete factory reset.
I know, but mine became much smoother after the update. Just wanted to ask

Increased the buffer to huge (+750ms) and its stuttering less. Thanks. The kernel isn't compatible with tegrak or no-frills. Already looked at those options.
It works fine as a music player. And i got it for a good price. Just going to stick with it and hope a custom rom comes out sometime (or at least a recovery). The back is large enough for me to attach my fiio e11 so its all good. Thanks again.
Hi,
I'm very satisfied with my z2 tablet.
But: While gaming Dead Trigger, GTA Vice City and Modern Combat 4 I experience an audio delay of approx. 0.5 - 0.7 seconds. Every other app including other games e.g. Asphalt 8 and videoplayback runs just fine without any audio delay.
Does anybody else encounter such a delay while gaming one of the abovementioned games?
thanks in advance
woggly4
Yes, I can confirm it playing riptide! However I think this is a software problem which will most probably be fixed soon...
Gesendet von meinem SGP511 mit Tapatalk
I can confirm that with several emulators. e.g. ePSXe or SuperN64 (Mupen)
I'm also getting this, I noticed it when playing worms 2 and the new walking dead game. Has anyone heard of an upcoming fix?
I have the bug too...
I am also facing this issue when playing worms 2. Anyone else? It also seems to be present in Netflix according to some users at talk.Sonymobile.com forums.
Try disabling all sound improvements

I think I tried that, as in using default settings in the equaliser. Did you have problems aswell and it solved it for you.

On mine, there is an equalizer setting called off. I don't think equalizer does much harm though, no matter what setting. It is just that sound improvement are digital filters and in nature will always introduce some delay and processing overhead. Of course it should not cause such a noticeable delay however the more processing involved the more error sources. In order to locate an error, you need to minimize the variables. Therefore if disabling all sound modifications help, you can then start to enable them one by one an see if and when the problem reoccur and what causes it.
I have not experienced the problem, however I hardly have sound on anything (especially games, though I don't play much) unless the sound is what matters, because of a health issue making me very sound/noise sensitive.
With the latest update (.402) the audio delay has been reduced sharply, but is still there from what I can tell.
What are your experiences?

I have the bug in Worms 2 and it's off by some ms. First I uninstalled it and reinstalled which worked. When I tried today it was suffering from the bug again. I then tried to clear app data which worked - but only for one session! Closing the game and starting the game again made the bug come back. So I tried to wipe app data and restart, sound in sync again... But only for one session. Maybe someone smarter than me can tell me why this happens?
Reply from Sony
I got fed up with the audio delay (in games not so annoying, but for video much more irritating) and wrote Sony about it. It is only the Z2 tablet that has problem with these apps, the apps work fine on my other Android devices.
Sony's reply was that they don't care:
Sony Xperia Support said:
Dear Gnopps,
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.
We are sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing with your Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet.
Does the audio delay occur in built in apps? Unfortunately we can not guarantee compatibility with third party apps and are unable to provide you support on them or a fix to your solution. We recommend you to contact the app developers for further information and support.
Kind Regards,
Sony Xperia Support, SE.

I havent fixed it yet, the only app I have problems with is Worms 2 and it works if I clear app cache. I have to that every time I want to play it though making progress almost impossible ;/.
Sad to hear that Sony doesnt care...
Sony support is really one of the WORST.
You only need to read what users experienced regarding the touchscreen problems (which is a far more serious problem than audio delay in games). Like the North Korean government, Sony says it doesn't know of any problems. The customer is the ass.
I love my Z2 Tablet, but this company just plain sucks.
So far, the z2 for me has been an awesome phone all around, but I do have a major nitpick about the handset, and was wondering if anyone else has this issue..
I have noticed in quite a few of the games that I play, that there is a noticeable delay in audio from what I am doing on screen, for example, I was trying to play cytus last night, however thee was almost a second delay between the music and the actual time you are meant to hit a note
Another example was when I was trying to play sonic cd, the game runs like a dream, however, the audio is about a second behind the gameplay, which sounds very weird when a lot if going on, onscreen..
I have found that some games work fine though, sonic 1 for example works fine, no delay at all..., the same with PSO2es, no delay at all...
Is this a software bug with the phone or is the an audio setting I need to change? Does anyone else have this issue?
Its apparently been knoticed as a device specific bug to do with a odd firmware reaction or at least that what i found googling stuff up

Mine has an audio sync problem when I play 4K movies recorded with the Z2. The sync problem is also present when I play the movies on my PC.

I have the delay problem when playing some games. Very annoying. Is there some sound processing that can be turned off to fix it?
Hello there,
I'm encountering some problems with my bluetooth headphones when I start games. As long as I'm using Spotify, Youtube etc. everything works fine, but in games I have like 0.7 to 1 second audio lag. It always occurs, no matter if I've also connected my BT gamepad or not.
What I'm using:
Device: bq Aquaris X Pro 4gb/64gb
Android: 7.1.1
Baseband-Version: 1-00333-8953_GEN_PACK-1.110987.1
Kernel-Version:
3.18.31-perf-g23e2fe9
[email protected] #1
Fri Nov 10 09:54:40 CET 2017
Build-Number: 1.5.1_20171110-0910
Additional info: Unlocked Bootloader, rooted (Magisk 15.3 (5.5.5))
Bluetooth headphones: Teufel Move BT (Bluetooth 4.0 + apt-x)
Bluetooth gamepad: Stoga STM01 (Bluetooth 3.0, also known as iPega BTC-938)
What I already tried:
- Reconnecting all devices
- Resetting all devices
- Reinstalling Games / Software
- Testing audio-altering software, just in case it'd change anything
- Deactivating any other connections beside bluetooth
- Uninstalling any app that could cause those problems, like antivirus
- Checking CPU Load (~25% in games) and RAM usage (never completely full)
- Fiddling around with audio options - doesn't change anything
- Looking up if it's a buffering problem (didn't find any information)
A kinda interesting observation I made is that the lag seems to only occure when he got (game-)footage to render. There isn't even any audio lag in the Rockstar logo video when I start GTA 3, but it starts when I load my savegame. Doesn't have to be 3D though, it happens with GTA 3 as well as Angry Birds or PPSSPP, ePSXe or any other emulator I got.
The bug probably was always there, I just happen to notice it now because it's the first time I got a smartphone strong enough for something I'd call a "fully fledged game".
A friend told me it's maybe a known problem with the Android 7 stock ROM, but since the internet is full of bluetooth problems on android I'm not sure about that. I would've tried a custom rom, but there isn't any rom for the Aquaris X Pro yet (even though there's a team working on a Linelage OS 15 port). Just buying cheap headphones to play with isn't a real option, since I'd also need a new gamepad (my current one blocks the audio port), and I'd be forced to always change to crappy sound when I want to play a game (The Teufel Move BT are really high quality).
There's actually an open beta programm for Android 8 Oreo for my device, but I don't really want to unroot (Some apps I regularly use need it) and accept all the telemetry....
Created a logcat file (search term "bluetooth"). Just connected the devices, moved around a bit in two apps with BT lag, and disconnected them again.

Anyone got an idea how to fix this?

I have the same issue on my Galaxy S9+. Same lag value in games only. It seems like Android bug and can't be fixed by users unless they deploy a fix.

Same problem on Note8 (Exynos), while on games only with powerbeats 2.
same happen in note9 (exynos) while on games only with oneplusBullet wireless
It's an AOSP issue and it makes me frustrated that no body report the issue to Google itself. It's been years man!
OEM roms like oxygen os and one UI have fixed this issue but the problem is that they have closed sources for their oos and one UI... It's an issue deep within the aosp code... And will continue to occur in all aosp roms ?
We should ask Google to fix their aosp for this!
