Randomly, my sound will quit working. Ring tones, notifications, alarms, and music and other sounds won't play or make noise. A restart normally fixes the issue for a while. Anyone know what's going on?
I'm thinking maybe Android Tuner is closing a service for sound when the screen is off. Idk what service it is to even check though.
2/9/13: not really anything seems to be triggering this, actually. It just happens. Can't really replicate it, but it happens almost certainly now within 15 minutes.

Have you flashed a sound mod? Certain options in the acid mod will break sound.

No sound mod, no mods at all actually. Using the Nocturnal ROM.

This seems to happen when I either have the phone locked cause I'm not using it for a while or if I'm in a different sound profile.
EDIT: Also, when this happens, PowerAmp, not sure about another media player, will not play music. Pressing play changes the icon to the Pause button like a song is playing, but the file will stay at 0:00.
Seems that the play store, Google now, or maybe the task manager is killing my sound. Any ideas?
Also, voice features don't work when this happens. Nothing I do like changing ringtones or playing a game starts the sound up again. Reboot is the only solution.

Seems like its something we can't really pin down. Personally I'd probably just try wiping a bunch of stuff and reinstalling.

Yeah, I did another full wipe, even though I've tried several, and it seems to be gone now. Knock on wood though.
I cleared a bunch of old folders from my external sd card before the last wipe so that may have affected it. It was taken out of another phone, and I didn't format it to clean it, so who knows.

It is my understanding that Nocturnal Rom has the sound mods built in, so you are using them.
I have the same thing on mine using the mod package on The Base Rom.

I installed CM10 and it was doing fine for a while, but suddenly any sounds other than the ringtone itself and the click sound of selections nothing plays anymore. Notifications/alerts are just silent even though they show up in the list and are apparently detected. Did I trigger some sort of bug?

I've had the same issue happening. Not sure which nightly it started with as I've been pretty much updating almost every day. I think I may just wipe and do a fresh install with the latest nightly build, though I don't want to

The resolution for me (repeatable for the other notes that CM10 was installed on as well) was to go into a sound selection for some notification, pick a sound and then click vol-up a few times while it's supposed to be playing.
Hi guys I wanted to share what I found to be working on my Sprint Optimus G.
I've been using this audio engine and the results have been pretty great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002367
Use the universal installation in aroma and remember if you install walkman don't install any add-ons.
I personally skip the walkman installation and use the noozy add-on.
Please do a nandroid backup before trying and do not install on top of nocturnal's music mod until someone verifies it does not cause any issues.
Remember not to use music player equalizer as the installed app changes sound system wide.
Also don't forget on first boot let device settle and then reboot.
BTW this has worked on my epic 4g, gs3, touchpad, asus transformer and evo 3d with just about the same results: amazing control over sound with great clarity and bass.
I haven't tested on a att version so don't know if it works with no issues as on my sprint version but, wanted to put it out there for your guys as well since I've also been reading these threads from the beginning.
Thanks for viewing.
Backing up right now then I'm going to flash the Universal and then the Noozxoide addon just like you recommended! Will post back and let you know how things go Thanks for the link man.
Why make a separate thread...?
I find Noozoxide to be the best of the sound mods the recent updates only made it better

Nothing beats Voodoo on the Nexus S or Galaxy S because the Galaxy S and Nexus S use a very good audio chip.
so, I've noticed that when using teh Nooz player, if i lock my screen, the music will play to the end of the track, but won't move forward to the next track unless I power on my phone. . . anyone else notice this?
Didn't work on mine
Did the ACID installation along with the Walkman (like they suggested). Followed all the instructions. It gave me the ACID app, the Albums app, the Dolby Mobile app, and the Walkman app. However...
-I didn't get any service for some reason. Just a red X by my bars while I was using it.
-I get force closes every time I go into the Walkman app to mess with the sound enhancements. Literally doesn't let me do anything.
-My music doesn't play...AT ALL. On ANY music player
I followed the directions for version 6.1 perfectly too. Sucks because I just went to Slick Rom and got rid of Nocturnal (and their Sony enhancement app) so I wanted to bring some good sound quality back to the Slick Rom. Oh well...

Don't do the 7.0 preview, either. Headphones won't work and you magically lose the ability to play mp3's.

Lately, any time I play music (doesn't matter which app or player) there are small skips in the audio. It's unbelievably irritating. This happens regardless of how much RAM is available, and it happens with locally saved files and streaming files.
I did a lot of searching before coming here, and tried two possible solutions: disable musicFX, and disable S Voice app controls. Neither remedied the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Okay, so I'm a massive music player fan. Honestly. I jam to dubstep and metalcore (blessthefall, AILD, August Burns Red, Killswitch Engage, etc.) and I LOVE the quality of my music. BUT, recently, the last couple weeks or so, my music will randomly "skip" for a split second. What I mean is, it'll pause for a quarter second and then resume, even though it's not supposed to. Here's an example.
"You'll never stop until you get what you want,
You think you have control, you tried to take mine,
But I won't leave (0.25 second pause, then resume) until I get what I want,
Over and (0.25 second pause, then resume) over, bending and breaking!"
I don't know why it does this, because it hasn't before. I HAVE tweaked with the build.prop, but not with anything that should affect quality of music. Also, the screen is off, WiFi/Data/Sync, etc. so it isn't like, "user lag" interfering with it. I usually know the ins and outs of Android, but I'm stumped here. Any ideas mates?
ALSO, this isn't a massive problem, but it gets annoying. My songs are about 5 minutes in length or so.. And it happens probably about once every 2 or 3 songs. But still, it's annoying me mostly because I *don't* know what it is.
And one time it ruined my favorite bass drop. That's what set me off and made me make this post.
Have you tried a different music player? The stock LG one is crap.

I believe both, but not sure. I don't think it happens when streaming video (YouTube, etc.) I think it's just local content. I do torrent, but it isn't the files.

Did you install any mods that could have changed your CPU settings? I'm thinking that your phones processor is going too slow when its screen is off and that's causing the stutters. Try reverting your build.prop to the stock one. Either that or there's something wrong with your SD card. Have you tried another card? What about background apps? Could be that you have too many running and that's causing the slow downs.

It's not the card because it does it on internal too. And hey, the screen off idea is smart! I might check into another performance mod if it works. I'll test it to see if it does it when it's on.

I'm assuming that you've tested it with other mp3s, right? So it can't be that the mp3s you're playing are corrupted?
Your best bet is to revert to stock build.prop (I think you can just pull one from a stock ROM and copy and paste it to the correct system folder using ES file explorer.) If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and re flash the stock KDZ (I'm assuming you're on LGs stock ROM)

Had this problem on my Nexus 7, Xperia Ray, and L9. I figured it because the CPU governor is not increase clock enough. Try to switch to interactive / ondemand.
Sent from my LG-P760 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried increasing the "audio buffer size" in Poweramp? I had this issue with my L9 too, went to Poweramp>settings>audio>advanced settings>audio buffer size and selected "Large (+250ms)". This did the trick for me.
I am not sure about other music players, but I am sure most of them has something similar setting too.
Has anyone figured out why poweramp will freeze randomly when switching songs manually? I thought it might be related to Viper mod, but tried it without and still the same. All KitKat Roms i have tried do it. Any suggestions?
I have the same issue... ever since I installed cm11 nightly on my t-mobile galaxy s3, poweramp will lockup when I switch songs... I've updated my cm11 every night.
Alsom, sometimes the songs will play faster than normal. I don't know what to do.
Disable direct volume control. Worked for me.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I have to have it disabled for Viper to work regardless so that isn't it for me. The other day it had no issues then the following day back to lock ups and the fast playing music.
I usually listen to music while riding my bike.. so this upsets me
If it means anything to happens to me on playerpro also.
This is very annoying for me also
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I will say that when kit kat first released with Gummy and kitkang I never had the issue that I recall originally. It was later down the pipeline so to speak after new commits from CM. On a side note today had no issues at all till tonight. Than it did it for every song about 4 songs in a row, then I rebooted and it's been good again.

it's sooo annoying. i wonder what's causing it? has poweramp been updated at all since kitkat became common?
Once I think it had been updated but no avail.
Same issue here. Nothing changes no matter what I do. Did anyone post these bugs to PowerAmp?
Today I did not have any song freeze on me but literally every other song that I manually skipped to had the "chipmunk" play speed. Once again a reboot fixed that issue. I have not submitted any thing to poweramp myself yet.
I've disabled direct volume control and disabled all fade and gapless songs options on poweramp, don't get it as often.

poweramp kitkat viper4android issue
i get fast forward chipmonks... i get stuck in pause, it will not play.... only way is to restart app.... and only way to do that is to go into app manager and stop it manually.... i tried everything to fix it... i reinstalled viper4android multiple times...
ONE THING FIXED IT FOR ME....
de-check swipe to change track in Look and Feel > Player UI : Gestures : UN-CHECK Song Change Gestures....
that did it for me... afterwards... I can change songs back forth all day and no problem.... I know the swipe is cool... but i can live without it...
the thing is if you enable lock screen in poweramp... the swipe still works while lock screen is on... who knows... all i know is that i no longer have problem going track to track now....
