Poweramp Issues on Kit Kat - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

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.

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

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.

I don't remember the early gummy builds doing it either. Guess I'll reboot more often and see what happens

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.

I don't want all that fancy sound effects stuff.. I just want a good mp3 player with a good search, I have a lot of music, Maybe something like apollo but with the features that poweramp has..

It is actually a very very simple app and it makes the sound on your phone about 100 times better. As far as the music app itself...I couldn't help you there.

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....

[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.

[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.

Does this happen only when the screen is off?

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'll try the build.pro method. Thanks! If that doesn't work, I don't mind reflashing stock KDZ. Re-rooting is a pain though ughhh xD

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.

[Q] audio stuttering/glitching

i listen to music all the time on my rooted s4. every half an hour or so, a song will stutter and then resume as normal. the audio doesn't stop, it just glitches. this happens in rocketplayer and spotify, and usually when the screen is off, though there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation between the screen state and this issue (as i have seen in others' posts about similar issues).
i have already attempted:
- overclocking with setcpu
- increasing the buffer size in rocketplayer
- regularly closing background processes
any ideas would be much appreciated.
What ROM are you running? Have you tried to duplicate the glitch with a different music app?

stock, just rooted 4.2.2, kernel is 3.4.0
the glitch happens in any app that plays music, not just rocket player or spotify.
This happens to me too sometimes when I'm using PowerAmp and I think it has to do with the Governor... on my old phone things would occasionally skip until I switch to using lulzactive but unless you have a kernel capable of supporting different Governors then it's probably something you'll have to live with. Unfortunately I'm in the same boat since I'm on ME7.

It is working like a charm now.
I tick only the first line, using preset sound processing(equalizer), and left other line unticked.

What about viper doesnt work with htc music app? Installed on mine and seems to set up fine.
Sick of seeing htc bashing when there may be no reason...
once I finally root this thing, Viper will be the first thing I put on it..fortunately, you get great sound natively, so its not that important the way it was on a Note 2..

I tried the App but I hear no difference on the loudspeakers or BoomSound. I was expecting more bass (although the bass is already great out of the box).
Does this app supposed to only work on headphones?

Before starting with adjustment,
We need to choose correct output.
Which output we want to adjust.
There are three outputs to choose.
Built in speakers, line out (i.e wired headphone), wireless output(i.e Bluetooth headphone).
Hear it with correct output, while adjusting/setting the desired sound processing style.

thx wase...
i installed this app nooz yesterday and its nice. clean. i disabled poweramps eq and such and use this only. the difference i can hear in the car where it counts.
i read the entire thread on it in the note2 forums (took two days) but i see there was a nooz player that was pulled due to some issue. i am currently looking for it to test over poweramp.
I kept changing the settings in the built in speakers category to hear differences on the phone speakers itself but no difference.. :what:
I also do not see "music effects" under settings > sound. Help?
EDIT: Oh. It only works with noozy (classic) and play music. Not working on stock HTC music player.

I got it working on my HTC one max by uninstalling the "music enhancer" service/app with titanium backup. It force rebooted the phone, and after that, it works as native audio on everything! If you try this, make sure you make a nand backup... Did that about 8hours ago and haven't had any problems yet. Even have v4a audio on phone calls...
Poweramp is the best music player for Android hands down with a full 16-band equalizer
I'm using Viper Audio on mine. I use the stock music player and when it doesn't sound like its working, I open the viper app and it kicks in. Sounds great.

vipers audio mod is only for rooted devices or for a custom roms,beacause the problem is busybox installation(in stock whit s-on is not possible),fx widget sound is the variant offert the music player function very volume,flash one custom rom and install viper mod(normally the custom roms is busyboxed)

[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.
