[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Sound settings->Music effects won't open? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got a legit App called "Bass Booster", I'm sure some of you have heard of it. But it never worked for me, so I tried going to the music effects tab in sound settings of my GS3. When I opened it I remember seeing two things: MusicFX(which it was on) and Bass Booster. I clicked bass booster thinking it would fix my problem. That didn't work either, so i went back to music effects to change it back to MusicFX, but it wouldn't open saying "settings has stopped working". I tried restarting it but It still doesn't open. I deleted Bass Booster and nothing. I got a new Bass Booster/Equilizer app, and notta. What should I do? HELP PWWEASE!! :fingers-crossed:

Try to see if your "play store beats audio" has had any updates. Go into settings/apps/download/beats audio & uninstall update and wipe app cache. Start from there

First of all, it should be asked in Q&A.
Are u rooted? If u are just delete the cameraclick.ogg in system/media/audio/ui. Make a backup before u do. (in case u mess things up)

[MOD] ACiD Audio Engine

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

Alright so I backed up and flashed, they work and sound absolutely fantastic. Thanks a lot for the post once again.

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...

That's because 6.1 doesn't work on our phones use v5. Works fine for me.

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

[Q] Sound randomly not working.

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.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
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.

[READ] Music "Skips"

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.

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.
CONFIRMATION: Yes, it still skips with the screen 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)

I had a similar problem as well. My music play for like 30 second theb it totally skip to the next track. Turn out i installed the beat audio mod through pimp my rom and it messed up my music player. I try resetting the phone and that didnt work so i had to flash kdz back to ics then update to jb again. Or i could have done a cmw backup as well.

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.
