Recently flashed Team D.I.R.T's Dirty Unicorns v.3,5 ROM and have been experiencing problem with listening to music. When trying to listen to music through Google Play Music, I would only be able to hear sound out of the right headphone when plugged into my phone. Sometimes, on rare and random occasions, a song would play and both headphones would produce sound.
I've tested my headphones through other apps such as Apollo, YouTube, and PVSTAR+ with no problem. My headphones are not defective in any way because they run flawlessly through these apps mentioned and my laptop when plugged in. The problem only lies in Play Music.
Any idea of what the problem might be and possibly how to fix it?
Try flashing this file see if it helps.

That only increases sound. This is a different problem.

I experienced this with several roms after they upgraded to the new 3.4 kernel. Couldn't get a fix for it, back on mean bean for now. I think deck has ironed out a lot of things with the new kernel, you might want to ask around on irc.
I'm not sure if it will work on that Rom but in the past I've seen the fix being modifying a line in your build.prop from
Lpa.decode=true to
Lpa.decode=false
Save and reboot.

Is anyone having issues with 'tinny' and distorted sounding audio while streaming via A2DP? I'm using a Blackberry audio gateway that worked flawlessly with my old G1 but with the Vibrant I find the audio quality so appalling I can't even listen to it. It's definitely not a question of the volume settings being too high. It also does this for EVERY program so its a global problem, possibly with the bluetooth stack. For now I'm coping with the 1/8" jack but thats starting to drive me nuts.
Anyone experience this? Is there a way to force the stack not to use A2DP or other protocols?
Yes A2DP sounds bad for me as well. I'm using a kenwood bt-200 made by parrot for my kenwood head unit and the audio is distorted at higher frequencies and it's missing a lot of mid bass. With my wifes mytouch the same setup sounds excellent.
Samsung released an update for improved A2DP streaming in korea so maybe well see it here as well? Like you I've just been using an rca cable for audio because A2DP is simply unusable with the Vibrant.

The more I listen to it the more I think its a volume/clipping issue than an encoding issue. Thank christ I'm not alone I was beginning to suspect I was being a whiney brat about the quality.
I just tested the gateway with a third phone and it also works flawlessly. Getting frustrated...

So does anyone have experience extracting files from Samsung .rfs files? I'm trying to do so via adb and failing miserably. I'm hoping to snag the new bluetooth.apk from the 2.2 developement build from Samsung to see if it has the sound quality updates.
Anyone?
I'm trying to determine if it's just the crappy TouchWiz Music Player they replaced the default Android player with. When I stream from other apps it sounds noticeably better (like Last.FM or Pandora), and I tried the Cubed player for a comparison of MP3 audio and it also sounded better.
Have any of you done a comparison like that?
I carried over the heavily modded cyanogen music player and besides that I use slacker. Still sucks.

Yep pandora, slacker, and the music player all sound terrible through A2DP.

Phone fell on it's face when trying to use the experimental bluetooth files. Wouldn't boot or respond to anything. Going to restore my nandroid backup and call it a night. Looks like we'll have to wait for the update...
If anyone can offer some more insight in regard to what I should do with the files please let me know.
It looks like the Vibrant isn't the only Android phone suffering A2DP quality issues. Please vote on Android issue 9888 if you are experiencing subpar A2DP audio quality from your Android device!

Thanks for the heads up. Honestly sounds like a Bluetooth 3.0 issue with android now. Just shocked so few people are complaining.

Does anyone else have a problem with eclipse and bluetooth? I use a bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music and after a few minutes it cuts out and I have to reboot.
I use Bluetooth in my car and it works well. Not sure if its the same for headphones though.
Eclipse 2.0.2
I just sbf'd back to 2.3.4 and installed eclipse 1.3. going to see if that corrects it
I have a bluetooth stereo and I have disconnect issues as well on gbp7...not sure what the deal is, but I think it's the stereo cause the phone shows still connected and the audio doesn't get rerouted back to phone. You don't have to reboot, just toggle bt off then on. Plus the problem is random.
I never modified anything with the bt is why I think it's the stereo, but I ciudad be wrong. Ima try to get a log and see what the deal is.

So far music hasn't cut out...I believe it has something to do with v2.02 or the 2.3.5 update
2.03 is out now...
Maybe that will help ur issues?

Not to bust this, but on my end at least, I know I didn't mess up updating the device.
and the Eclipse 2.0.3 update does not change anything to bluetooth..
But I found the Problem.
By chance do you use Google Music as your default music app?
Anyway, I do and the problem is with that app(or maybe its in another setting which I doubt cause the problem persists on GBP7.)
Explanation:
I use a Bluetooth cd player in my car and I use google music to stream to my stereo. Every now and then I lose sound output on my CD Player(although both show connected). The problem would arise whether it was playing local music or streaming from google music. At first thought it was my phone, then I flashed Eclipse to test it out for a lil bit and the problem persisted. So I moved on to thinking it was the Stereo. Well, this morning I was at work(still am..) and I was listening to my music via ear plugs. I ended up getting a random "stop" although the music progress bar was still moving... I changed songs and still had no output. HERES THE KICKER!! I turned the volume up with the keypad and BAM! the sound started to produce out of my precious ear plugs....
I haven't had time to test this with the bluetooth stereo yet, but the problems had IDENTICAL symptoms, so I'm assuming this will work.
The random MUTE of the app is odd, and very random. Sometimes it wont do it for HOURS and then sometimes it will do it every 2 minutes or so. But for now, try to increase the volume(you can do this while screen is off if using Google Music, not sure about others) and see if it solves the issue for now. I will look into it and test with another music app(probably winamp) and see if the problem arises. If so, then I'll look into the system configuration and see if the problem is there. I know I didn't change any bluetooth settings in my ROM, and I haven't noticed any changes by Nitro in Eclipse. So this leads me to think its an APP problem.
I use juice defender and other custom settings for battery life, but I know for a fact those aren't the problems, so if anyone reading this looks into the issue, the problem is either Google Music or in the system configuration. So don't go looking into Juice Defender or other apps to be the problem.
Disregard...I am blind
Like stated.... It's not another app interfering.... Dsp manager is not on gbp7...

I have a jvc deck that has built in blutooth. It routes the sound they the car speakers and uses a wired microphone. Call quality transmit an receive is pretty damn good. However, when using bluetooth audio...say pushing anything from the music app, or pandora, there is alot of static attached to the signal. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions. I am rooted but still stock. I use poweramp as well as the default player at times.

I have a jvc deck as well, and I don't have any problems with static over bluetooth. I use Pandora and Google play music, and both work great for me on stock, CM7, CM9, and MIUI. MIUI actually works the best for me as far as bluetooth playing nice with the head unit.
Never used power amp or stock tho, so I can't speak for that.

I have no issues with mine Pandora,stock music player ,google play music, TuneIn Radio work good... with my car's unit
Thought I really hate the annoying noise when I use the wired earphones.
Ill have to experiment with a few other players. I rarely use the phone for streaming in the car. Odd, I really dint pick up any noise with wired cans. On a side note, I found a new player 'neutron' that blows away anything I've used this far in the sq department. Its a paid app that offers a limited use 'timed' trial.

Similar issue
I've also got a semi-stock Photon 4G. Been using it fine in my Ford Fusion w/ Sync. Sunday, tried to make a phone call and it was just static. Turned off the bluetooth on my phone and it was fine. Now, it's unable to make a call through Sync. It pairs fine, just nothing but static. Why the sudden change? No new updates from Motorola or Sprint that I'm aware of. BTW, by semi-stock, I mean it's rooted. No custom ROM's or what not. Any ideas? I've googled some and it seems that the Photon 4G has some bluetooth related issues. I really like the phone and had really planned on holding off on upgrading since there wasn't a real 'need'. Another issue I've had lately is receiving texts w/ no sound. It vibrates, but doesn't give me a sound. I checked the setting and even when scrolling through the notification sounds, it doesn't do it. Then it will randomly do it. Rebooted and battery pulls have been done. Really, REALLY don't want to do a reset. Ideas? Are they related?
I use bluetooth audio everyday, and I've used every rom except stock. Bluetooth always works very well. Rule out your jvc device first, test your Bluetooth on something else. Then reset or reflash, then use your warranty.

I also intermittently get static when making calls in my Focus via Sync over Bluetooth. I can faintly hear the caller in the background, but the static is MUCH louder than the person. When this occurs, there are some other symptoms the phone exibits:
No audio will play via multiple apps. Tested in Pandora (cycles from one song to another), Amazon MP3 (same as Pandora), Youtube (Gives an error about audio), Voicemail (Unable to play the message).
Alarms only vibrate, no audible alarm.
When trying to do a call via speakerphone, the person on the other end cannot hear me.
The fix I have found is to reboot. The phone is stock, but has been rooted, and has occurred for the past few months, even with the update that came out at the beginning of August. I tried reflashing it in June with the 198 SBF, but didn't do a reset of the data. The reflash succeeded, but the problem is still occurring. I removed "Words with Friends" and "Scramble with Friends" last night to see if it helps.

Rats. Too bad I hate Sense, so I'll probabpy go with a Galaxy S III, even though I dont like TouchWiz. However, Touchwiz is preferable to Sense. Might go Galaxy Nexus, not sure. For now, haven't had it reoccur yet, but we'll see.
Good news: not a single reoccurance of the static over bluetooth and no audio. I still wonder how an app can effectively crash the audio stack, though. Oh well.

Hi,
I've been reading in several threads that CM10.1/AOKP4.2.2 etc. are having problems with audio?
I haven't seen any posts about audio issues in some time, so I'm asking - is 4.2.2 Android having audio issues on HOX+ or they were fixed?
Thanks for reading and replying.
EDIT:
In CM10.1 thread it says "WORKING: [...] AUDIO" and in FAQ:

It's a work in progress. When it's fixable they will try to fix it. But it's better than not having any sound right?

HTC One X+ Music & Audio Stutter (Skipping)
Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the same problem being discussed here. But after a month of using my One X+ without any problems, a few days ago when i was listening to music loaded on my phone, it started giving a short stutter randomly while playing it through the music app. I've downloaded several music players (Poweramp, Doubletwist, n7player, VLC player) all with the same stutter problem (with & without Beats). Its extremely random and occurs mostly when the phone is locked. I thought it might be a memory manager app so i deleted all such apps but the problem persists. Has anyone faced a similar issue? Is there a fix for it?
This also happens while playing games with my headset connected! The game audio stutters!
Thanks,
Jonathan

Not too sure about the game audio but when I play music on the speaker on my phone or listen through headphones, I usually get a studder or what sounds like a CD skip for a millisecond. I have checked my mp3s and none of them skip or studder on my computer and I have flashed many roms and re flashed the original ruu but still a skipping noise.
Not too sure the cause because I hear it on Pandora as well sometimes, but more often when it plays on my music player app.

Is anyone else having similiar problems with Google Music on 4.3 ROMS -- I had flashed a few of them to no avail
1. Skipping probably a quarter of a second every few songs?
2. Sound is stereo, but some parts (like background vox, or guitar riffs) are buried way down in the mix or not audible at all?
I haven't had this problem before, and curious to see if anyone has identified the same issues... Appears on both BT and plugged in headphones
Thanks
No issues here using ear buds or PC speakers. On carbon ROM. Funky kernel
