Audio issues 4.4 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just curious if anyone else is having trouble with playing audio on 4.4 Roms. The music plays fine but I keep getting audio glitches throughout the songs at random intervals. I am running kitkang with viper4android. I don't think it's the audio mod because before I installed the driver on the latest nightly it was still glitching. Thanks for any input guys!

This happens with plugged jacks too? All aosp ROMs from 4.2 have had Bluetooth audio issues exactly like you describe, but none through the headphone jack...

Yes this happens while running through the headphone jack, I never use BT

Ugh I think this issue is a double edged sword, after more troubleshooting I found that switching lpa.decode to true stops the glitches but also makes viper4android stop working. I guess I'll just have to wait for things to get worked out!
Edit: Come to find out after even more screwing around I finally found the culprit.........my kernel settings were not allowing to clock speeds to jump up fast enough to compensate for the audio processing, wow do I feel silly. Mod's you can delete this if you want!

Volume

Any way to increase volume....ita funny such a big phone yet so small of a volume.haha guessing we have to wait for cm9 or is there any mod we can do. The speaker is just so low. Watching netflix and youtube is an experience like no other....hearing it is a different story haha

It doesn't help any that the speaker is rear firing! I have a leather flip case on the phone so it's really bad
Lol a Bluetooth case would be awesome with a bigger speaker on it

+1 on equalizer, works on everything I've thrown it.
power amp is also the best, if you aren't using google or Amazon music clouds.

You can also use the app eRay Free or the paid version in the Android Market to fix the volume issue. Works very well...and a great task mgr app. This is for both in-call (headset) and external speaker volume fix.

[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.
That is awesome to hear..... I've definitely been enjoying the sound difference

Is it speaker audio or the quality of audio when plugging In headphones or aux cable

Ok, I'm trying to get decent sound from this phone but it's just not happening. I've installed every audio mod (including this one) and the sound is a little better but no where near my nexus s with voodoo. Any suggestions?

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.
Sent from my LG-E973 using Tapatalk 2
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.

[Q] skipping sound when listening to music

hi. I've got an L9 recently, compared to many negative reviews I'm satisfied with it, but when I listen to music via earphones, music sometimes skips for less than a second, usually once or twice per song, then it goes on from where it stopped. I have tried it on stock and cm11 too. funny thing is I have no problem via speaker, not even when I play big games like GTASA. As I said it's not something I can't live with, I'm just curious if anyone else has this bug. I'm using Panasonic inear earphones btw, with no DSP manager etc enabled. I have also tried several players. thanks for any replies.

still nothing? I will try player pro tomorrow, it has cpu priority and very high buffer size settings, hopefully those will fix it. also when I greenified every app in its hibernation list the problem mostly disappeared.. maybe also should try performance governor when listening to music.
It's just so damn annoying that a mid-range phone with 1gb ram has this bug, I also read many people with Galaxy Nexus have problems like this, which has a very similar CPU.

Audio bug. Does custom rom (aur) fix it?

Basically guys my z2 has the Netflix and games audio delay bug.
Try it yourself when watching Netflix sound is about 0.5 seconds out.
Would a custom rom fix this? If yes I'm doing it today.

i tested headphones with netflix, but built in speaker with games...
did u try turning off the noise cancelling? I could imagine, that this produces a little delay.
