Seems like a lot of people are experiencing this issue, especially since the JB upgrades.
I am currently running the FoxHound 1.7 ROM as well as JKay framework 14.7, although I am not sure if either have anything to do with the problem.
While listening to music, when the screen shuts off (either manually or due to inactivity), the music will start skipping with varying frequency. Sometimes this doesn't happen at all, sometimes it happens so much that it renders listening impossible.
I have played with the equalizer settings and it makes no difference. I have also installed a plethora of music players, and it happens in all of them.
Please help - it is absolutely ruining an otherwise amazing phone experience, as I listen to music a LOT on my phone.

Have you tried wipe cache/dalvik and re-flash?Also have you searched your ROM's and JKAY's forums to check if there are other people with the same problem?Let me know if you find anything..
Haven't tried wiping dalvik and cache. If i wipe both and then restore from a backup, would it help?
Will ask on the jkay thread, although I reallydon't think it is that. Plenty people running stock roms complaining about the same issue.

No need to restore anything..just get into cwm recovery wipe cache and then advanced-->wipe dalvik cache and reboot your phone..If this doesnt solve the issue try to reflash your ROM..

10 days ago I upgraded my SGS3 to JB via Kies. Since day one I was having problems with poweramp player. In every song I could hear one or more short pauses. It was really annoying! I tried different "audio buffer size" settings but it didn't solve my problem, so I thought there was something wrong with poweramp. I switched to playerpro, but it did not help. I tried winamp and even stock player but still I had random hiccups. I was so desperate to fix it and decided to do factory reset. It did not help either!
I thought there was something wrong with my branded rom, so I flashed BTU JB version. Still hiccups. I moved all my music files to internal sdcard, disabled music FX, bluetooth share and bluetooth test processes but still no success. Yesterday I gave up and switched back to ICS. Problem solved!
Do you guys have any clue what could cause this? I know I am not the only one who have/had this problem, but have not seen any solution.
Hope you can understand my poor English.
I had this with dlj1, solved with dlj4

The one I tried was I9300XXDLJ4. As mentioned earlier it did not solve my problem.
Never seen this problem on multiple roms ..
Might pay to wipe phone and install clean .
jje
I did wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flash 4.11 BTU. What else can I do?
I hate having uncommon problems .
this is cause by the memory leak bug. I used supercharger and everything was gone. frequent lock-ups, music hiccups,etc
Thanks bordikun! Instead of playing with scripts I will try latest Omega rom. I see that V6 SuperCharger is included.
bordikun, may I know what settings do you use for Supercharger? I installed Omega 32.1, my phone is 100% Supercharged but I still experience hiccups. I don't have any other problems with the phone, it is like a rocket now . Apart this little, but very annoying audio problem.
I am getting this issue with almost every JB ROM I've tried flashing, My music/mp3s apps will lag after booting up my Evo3D when trying to plan an mp3, request me to wait or quit. If I quit, the music app restarts, and the mp3 will play, but if I restart my phone, I have to do it all over again.
This also has caused my phone to turn off if I have a music track set as my alarm on a couple of ROMs.
The only ROM that I haven't had an issue with is ParanoidAndroid 2.5 (the PA_AOKP Mashup).

I remember having the same issue a month or so back (I'm using agrabren's Disarmed Toaster) but it has since been fixed.
Try using DT and see if you still have the issue.
Also are you wiping dalvik + cache when you switch ROMs?

I haven't tried DT, and always wipe dalvik & cache in 4EXT after a full wipe. I'm going to mess around with things today and see where it gets me. thanks
Great, not just MP3s...
Update: Just flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.54(b), and same issue happens AND grooveshark lagged/force quit after a restart.
I'm still having issues, and have tired everything I can think of.
I re-updated the firmware/radio (just in case)
Wiped/Formated everything in 4EXT, including the SD Card to play it safe
I've changed permissions of the song to see if that'd make a difference
I've tried MIUI, CM10, PA, AKOP
I've tried with GAPPS installed/not installed, and no other apps installed.
Still, the only JB ROM that work is PA_AKOP (ParanoidKangdroid)
One thing I've noticed is when first going in to any music player after a fresh install, it can't find the music, but if I file search, open up the track (issue still happens), and restart, the tracks are found, and the issue continues
Any other ideas?
Ever since I got my Amaze, I've been having strange audio playback problems. I'll outline them below.
1) Every few tracks, Pandora will skip a song and advance to the next one with no user input. Even happens on ads.
2) Google Play Music will report "Music playback error" every 4-5 tracks and stop playing. Happens whether streaming or played locally.
3) Every 2-3 music videos, audio in MX Player will cut out for a second or so. When seeking to a particular time in a video, audio will get out of sync or become horribly garbled.
No apparent problems with phone calls, but I don't call many people. I've tried the stock ROM, SpeedROM 7.8/8.0 and the 1/4 build of CM10. The problem remains. Anyone have any ideas? At this point I'm seriously considering bringing my HD2 out of retirement, even though it's held together with duct tape and spit. It doesn't skip, and sounds even better than the Amaze.
ive had issues with the recent MX player "updates".. but overall have you tried fixing permissions and clearing cache to see if it might fix your problem.. or uninstalling the apps or clearning the data.. because it sounds like something somewhere is corrupted.. (maybe...) i'm not too sure as to i've never encountered these problems before.. but it never hurts to try.. (and when you flash rom's do you do a *(full)* wipe before you flash them)? and also do you restore these apps with data using any backup apps like titanium etc? because that might be another cause for the issue.. as to some data from some rom's don't transfer well to new ones.. which is why they give the warning that restoring data might be harmful and cause apps to malfunction

Each time I've installed a new ROM, I've wiped dalvik, cache, data and system. Not sure what else is safe to wipe - I don't think wiping boot is such a great idea. I never restore data to a clean install, mostly because all my data is in the cloud or on my SD card. At this point I'm theorizing that the hardware audio decoder in my phone is squirrelly, though I'm not 100% positive about that.
try flashing this then flashing your rom and see if it helps.. you can fix permissions after you successfully back up your rom, just remember to make sure to do a backup always before flashing a rom

No joy. Ran the super wipe script, then it took me about 4 attempts to load SpeedROM 8.0. Finally got it reloaded, and the skipping is still there. Tried fixing permissions, too. Any other suggestions? I wonder if there's any way to cook a software decoder into the ROM...
EDIT: The skipping is still present in Pandora, but MX Player does seem to be doing better. It could've just been the CM10 ROM. Also getting lots of DSP Manager crashes in SuperROM.
ive never really used dsp.. and i just noticed too that sometimes my pandora randomly skips songs.. or maybe the volume rockers are controls when the screen is off.. not sure
I really hate to make this post, but I've had such bad luck in the recent days, that I'm at wits end and need a little help figuring out whats going wrong here. As of now, I am runing LiquidSmooth 2.9... But as with all my recent flashes, there are tons of problems. Currently my issues are: external SD card doesn't show, GPS doesn't lock on (which from what I read I need to install a working GPS rom, get a lock, then reflash.. ok cool) and lastly facebook and instagram are aggravatingly slow. I can have full service, even be on Wifi... text from posts will load fast... anything else... You're better off playing the lottery than hoping a quick picture will pull up.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, I throw the zip file on my phone, go into TWRP, wipe cache and dalvik, install, wipe again, factory reset, reboot, and then start using my phone...
With every rom I've tried there are issues from no gps, no camera, no keyboard, bluetooth cuts out... etc...
Is there a rom that works? Or are there steps I'm missing or a fix to my said issues? Any help would be great

Try flashing devil kernel from the Original Development section for your SD card woes. AOSP doesn't support exFAT by default (I'm guessing that's what your card is flashed as and is why you can't see it). This kernel adds support for exFAT to any AOSP ROM.
Try enabling Force GPU Rendering in the Development Options and see if that doesn't fix your slowness with Facebook and Instagram. I personally don't use Instagram but have had no issues with Facebook on CM10.2.
Finally, you already have the fix for your GPS issues, just need to bite the bullet and get it done. The good news is that as long as you stay on AOSP ROM's you shouldn't have to do it again.
Let me know if that does/doesn't work and we can try some different options, good luck!
Thank you the GPU thing seems to have worked, doesn't seem to lag as much anymore. However, the devil kernel didn't seem to do much other than replace TWRP
I'll take that back =S pics aren't loading again.

Devil kernel not recovery.
It is a kernel that will work on AOSP and TouchWiz ROMs, and in combination with the recovery allow you to dual boot one of each.
You do not want this, you want just the kernel.
ok so I've tired the devil kernel, no luck. I tried a couple different roms, no luck. Finally flashed with CleanRom3.5 and my SD card is back. But now the issue I'm experiencing is when I try and play music through spotify it randomly shuts down the audio channel. The music still plays according to the app, but I can't change songs. I can pause and hit play, but no audio. I have to force close the app, and I can then again listen to a song, maybe two before it happens again. Sometimes it happens within 2 minutes, either way I have not made through 2 consecutive songs. Any ideas on that?
try beans Jellybeans build 21.. no issues works great.
I have to be honest, I have had nothing but compatibility issues with the use of TWRP. I switched to CWM and I stopped having little glitches and hang ups in the Roms. I would give it a shot, not saying it is even the cure all but it worked for me as crazy as it sounds.

Maybe you should try goodness Noteworthy, might also get an update this weekend
My links should still be good, if not pm me and I'll point you in the right direction.
As the title suggests, Dropbox won't work for me on slimkat.
When I try to sign in I get a quick toast telling me dropbox has stopped working then *poof* app drawer. I have restored it from TiBu with and without data, wiped the data, and installed from the app store, all to no avail. I have searched around, and found the random odd person having the same issue with dropbox or Google+ but, it sounds like wiping data fixed their problems. they were also on official Ports. Dropbox still works great on my stock ROM.
xt912
Slimkat 4.4.2. build 23 I think (whichever one was released 20140320)
SlimGapps
jbx kernel 2014-03-23
I have not run into any other issues with other apps (just occasional lag) and this is the first time I have installed a custom ROM on this phone, so don't know if previous versions of SlimKat would cause this issue with me, just wondering if anyone else had run into this, and if so,how did you fix it?
*edit* Scratch that, also found that poweramp will freeze the ROM when the screen goes off requiring a hardreset. Did a little looking and, sounds like that is a fairly common problem right now with 4.4.
Thanks.
I have not seen anything like the Dropbox app crash I just re downloaded it and tried the app and like you said it crashes instantly maybe a app issue. the last one though idk I listen to music lots of times and my phone has not done that in a long time

Dropbox, as well as music are working fine for me. Slimkat+JBX
Try wiping cache & dalvik again.
For dropbox don't restore it, perform a fresh download from Play store and see if it works.
As for, poweramp, I can't be sure 'cause I don't use it. However, wiping dalvik might fix that too. Just to confirm, you're not trying to play .flac or other lossless format.? 'Cuase that is an issue with KitKat Roms.

No difference on Dropbox. I uninstalled what I had, wiped dalvik & cache, reinstalled fresh from play store and same thing (I had already tried that before).
I can still get to Dropbox through FX so it really isn't that big of deal.
With Poweramp I will have to play with it when I get off work. No, no lossless formats, MP3 only. I don't have any problem playing anything, it is just when I shut the screen off while music is playing, sometimes I will get a skipping type sound that repeats before finally quitting. Sometimes music will just stop playing. Either way though, hardware buttons will not wake the phone, absolutely no response. I have to press down vol up and down, and the power button for a reboot.
Long story short, tried a couple different things, including another dalvik and cache wipe, and it would still freeze.
So after giving up, I went ahead and did a full wipe and partition setup to install the jbx update. After everything is done, Poweramp works with the screen off. Don't know what happened or what I had done to it, but it is undone now.
Dropbox still doesn't work *shrug* Can't win them all
I think it still is a Dropbox issue lol thanks for the update
