I've had the Note (AT&T) since not too long after it hit the market with AT&T. The Gingerbread release worked quite well, but I had heard "great things" about ICS. The day that ICS became available, I loaded it and was ready to be seriously impressed.
Instead, I'm quite let down. The additional "bloat" put into ICS to provide some changes to TOUCHWIZ are simply not worth it to me. What's worse the Bluetooth stuff has been changed enough, and in certain ways, to make it problematic for me now.
I have a vehicle with an integrated Bluetooth system. My phone is always paired when I'm in it, and I never make use of the audio profile for playing music through the stereo (but it's connected anyway). Under 2.3 / Gingerbread, everything worked fine. With the 4.0.4 / ICS software, audible notifications while paired to the system sound "choppy" (can't think of another way to describe it). The sounds stutters when the phone is attempting to notify me of, say, an incoming email message.
When the phone is not paired to anything, the notifications are fine.
I had an opportunity today to pair the handset to a completely different device and find that the issue follows it. It is absolutely not a hardware problem because it worked fine with GB. The issue is also not my vehicle because, again, it worked fine when the phone was running GB.
What I learned today, with the new BT device, is that the phone is actually attempting to provide the audible alert through BOTH the phone's speaker AND the audio profile / BT. On the device I had paired today, the sound through the speaker is the same sort of choppy notification it has been, but the sound through BT seems smooth.
There are no settings in the BT area to tell the phone to not use Bluetooth for audio. Does anyone know about this issue? More importantly, does anyone have a fix?
I too have that issue. Maybe a développé une ould look into this.

I use both the audio and phone BT profiles on my car stereo. It took me a very long time to enable audio. I have no clue what worked. I do know that you can see what is enabled by tapping the gear icon next to the paired item in the paired item list.

The problem isn't in getting both working... The issue is HOW the phone works when both are enabled. There's almost certainly a bug in the ICS code that needs to be corrected.

My mistake. I shouldn't have mentioned my troubles. They masked the fact that I mentioned how to disable individual profiles by tapping the gear. You can uncheck audio there.

Yep. That works to correct the problematic issue of "it sounds funny when both are enabled", but it emphasizes the fact that there's an issue with the way that Samsung's ICS for the AT&T Note treats the Media audio profile whether it's active or not...
Trying to determine if this is a software bug or a hardware problem. Looking for some additional people to test and verify.
ISSUE:
While listening to music, I hear a periodic, short duration, low-volume burst of static. This only happens when WiFi is on but not connected (searching for network to join). This also only happens with headphones (at least I have not been able to hear it over bluetooth).
NOTES:
I have tried both the HTC stock music app to listen to music stored on the external SD card and Google Play Music to stream data from the cloud.
The period of the noise is 15 seconds when on a Jelly Bean ROM (I have tried both MeanBean and xHausx's stock ROM. When I was on MeanROM ICS, the period appeared to be 17 seconds.
The duration of the noise is 1/4 second or less.
The volume of the noise is very low. I recommend trying to reproduce the problem with very quiet music.
Wifi must be on and scanning to hear the noise. With Jelly Bean, the WiFi scanning interval appears to be 15 seconds (I did not check the scanning interval when on ICS). I recommend not being near a network that you can connect to when testing this.
I am S-OFF with the original LazyPanda HBOOT (1.12.2222) with the latest firmware installed from xHausx's thread.
BACKGROUND:
Here are some posts where this issue has been discussed in other threads:
JustinChase's first post regarding the issue in the MeanROM ICS Thread
Follow up later in the thread: #1, #2
Continuing discussion in MeanBean thread
Thanks in advance for any testing you can do!
I have the same exact problem even connected to WiFi. As long as I have WiFi turned on I can reproduce the static noises you speak of on both stock rooted 4.1 and meanbean roms. S-off also :/

I also have the issue, but only when wifi is turned on, but not connected to a network. If I have no network remembered (nothing for it to try to connect to), I don't hear the problem then.
The noise is a static, crackling noise, which sounds like 'machine noise' that I also hear when I'm listening to my desktop computer with headphones thru the crappy motherboard connections. On the desktop, whenever I move the mouse wheel, or put the system under load, I hear 'machine noise' thru the headphones, likely related to poorly designed/shielded onboard audio.
This makes me think if might be hardware related, but the fact that it only happens when wifi is trying to connect to a remembered network makes me think it's software related.
The noise is always the same volume, which isn't very loud. If you listen to your music at 1/2 or higher volume, you will likely not hear it, but if you listen at about 1/4 volume, or lower, it's a pretty loud and very annoying noise. I almost always hear it at the end of a song, but hear it throughout songs also.
I'm s-off, so don't really want to go complaining to Sprint about it yet, but since it seems only a few other people have reported the same issue, I suspect it might by phone specific.
I would really appreciate anyone/everyone testing this and providing feedback, even if it's 'I don't hear this, you're crazy', at least I'd know
To test, make sure that you have a wifi network remembered on the phone, go to a place where wifi cannot connect to the network (or any other network), then play music with the stock music app (the red musical note icon), make sure the volume is less than 1/3 and you should hear this noise within a minute or 2. Some have reported every 15 seconds, but I'm not sure I hear it quite that often. If you make it thru 2 songs with no noise, you probably don't suffer.
Thanks, looking forward to some feedback
Hmm... Very odd. I might have a little input or it may be completely unrelated.
Are you guys with this issue using PowerAmp music player (i use that, it is AMAZING).
Anyway, I noticed that while using any global beats addins, I usually get a weird staticky noise through my headphones... BUT, this only happens while playing a song and another sound comes up. In example, I am playing an MP3, and I get a text message, or a low battery warning. When the other sounds come into play, it disrupts the music playing, and the notification doesn't even make its sound; just the static interruption where the sound WOULD have been. A fix for this, is to enable [maybe disable? not sure which is the default setting, but just uncheck/check depending if its on or not] the Direct Volume Control option. Doing this allows me to hear the other sounds while playing the music with no interruption.
Now, to get on board with the OP who has this problem on WiFi only. Perhaps it is the same scenario as myself. Maybe your WiFi is giving some sort of SU notice from the makesh that the WiFi mod asks root for.
Sorry if it sounds a bit confusing... But hope it helps!
EDIT: After reading some posts above, I see the problem comes in even with the stock music player. Idk, I still think it has something to do with MusicBox/DSPManager/Volume+ and the WiFi SU notices

That could be a bad port... Or it may be an IRQ problem If you feel comfortable playing with your BIOS on the PC, look into your IRQ settings
Some new info:
I clean installed MeanBean 0.6, connected to my home WiFi, then went to work this morning. Now that I'm at work (and not connected to my home network), the period of the noise is back at 17 seconds. I went to the WiFi settings and deleted my home network settings. Now the noise is at 15 second intervals. The volume of the noise also seems quieter.
I connected to my work's WiFi (they are finally letting "non-corporate controlled devices" connect to the network) and the noise is gone.
I'll have to wait until after work to retest the interval with a remembered network present.
Yesterday, when testing with a stock ROM, I only tested when I had never connected to a network before. So the period may not be ROM or OS version specific.

I have only tried the stock HTC app and Google Play Music. I have some tunes on the Amazon server, so I'll try that one later today.

I don't see the makesh app looking for root when on a Jelly Bean ROM (it doesn't show up in the SuperSU logs either). I wonder if HTC changed that in the 3.15 update.

Where might I find this setting you refer to? As you noticed (after you wrote this), I'm only using the stock music application, and can't find this setting anywere. I suspect it's in the PowerAmp player, but wanted to verify, so that I can try adjusting it. FWIW, I do hear the quiet notification noise while the music is playing (which used to stop the music on ICS - this is MUCH better).

I'd like to 'fix' this issue also, but it's been a LONG time since I've worried about IRQ issues. Windows 7 (and XP?) deals with IRQ issues well, so I haven't seen any conflicts in years. What in the BIOS might I be looking for, and how might I adjust it to try to eliminate this issue? I'm plenty comfortable in the BIOS, but the only IRQ settings I remember are related to forcing it to use a specific IRQ, but wouldn't know what to try changing for positive effect.
I'm plugging into the front audio port of the machine, which connects to the motherboard via a HD audio connector (if I remember correctly). I believe I have the same noise issue when connecting to the audio out on the back of the machine, which is directly connected/part of the motherboard. In fact, I've heard these 'machine noises' on all of my machines for years, so just always assumed it was a symptom of the lower quality audio connections. However, I'd LOVE to eliminate this issue also, if possible.
Sorry for the off topic
This sounds like it's just poor shielding somewhere. I believe the wifi antenna is near the headphone jack so it's probably causing some interference there.
Exactly Haus. Try different headphones or speakers. You could for your headphones get THIS then run a couple of wraps around it through the center near the phone jack, and see if that helps. For speakers the signal could be coming in from many places (power input, signal input, with in audio amp, or the speakers themselves. Now if the sound is coming from the speaker inside the phone.. Well you have much bigger problems than a ROM.
I have the static issue when streaming over Bluetooth with the screen on, wifi on or off, on both stock and custom roms. Turn the screen off, no static. Also, Bluetooth disconnects at random if I leave the screen on and will not reconnect until I unpair and repair with my stereo.
It has to be an issue with jb, as I've never had this issue until the update. Fwiw I'm thinking connections optimizer (on or off) has a hand in this issue.
Think I'm having this too
I was noticing this today on wifi. It would make a crrrik like a cog sound every so often, at first i thought it was the song, then when it did it on the next two I found this thread. It was not just 1x 2x per song it was almost on beat at times. I heard it probably 30 times in 30 second song. Another thought was some file/notification was making the sound in the background.
Turning wifi off so far has resolved problem. It was really annoying. I don't think its an antennae issue since its the same noise each time exactly (including duration) about a .25sec noise. Thinking of antennae interference its usually a scratchy sound that is intermittent duration some long some short etc.
It was extremely unbearable as I listen to the lowest setting on the phone with beats off.
So I just got my S5 yesterday, it is all stock unrooted. When listening to music in the car, between songs, there is this popping sound. Not super annoying, but still it's not very pleasant to hear. Also happens when a notification sound goes off in the middle of a song, between the end of the notification sound and when the music starts again. Anyone else have this problem?

Try resetting your phone if it stops the problem, otherwise, try flashing stock firmware, this will not trip your knox. If the issue is not resolved, return the handset for a replacement.

Are you using Bluetooth? Could be an interference somewhere or your volume on the phone is turned up too loud.

Is your phone connected to your car's speaker? Or are you just playing the music over your phone?

I have the same problem. It is not too often, but it does happen every once in a while. I notice it more when connected to car speakers (via cable, no bluetooth). I am not sure if it happens with (regular, no bluetooth) headphones.
My phone is also stock, no root or anything. I've noticed the first time I tried it. I am not sure if I need to return it or not...

It might be the cables. Though I have not experienced this with my phone, my earphones used to have the popping sounds and then one day one side just totally went off only to reconnect occasionally when I move it to a right bendy position, with the poppy sounds. So it might be the cables.
Click, pop, or stutter.

Yes, always happens when using bluetooth over car speaker system. Turning on the screen will stop it from happening. From the information I have found here and on the web, the power saving that samsung wrote to help conserve battery let's the CPU go into a low power state when the phone's screen has been off for a period of time. But if you happen to be streaming music, it will start to skip, pop, or stutter. If you turn the screen on for a short period, don't even have to unlock the lock screen, it will stop misbehaving for the same short period of time. However, if you plug your phone in while driving, you can just leave the screen on and you should not experience the problem. Hope this helps, you can google it for more information.
Pop Issue solved.
I've solved the issue. The reason that it makes a pop sound in between songs, is because when power saving mode is on, it is turning off the speaker in between songs. Just turn off "power saving" mode in your settings pull down on your Samsung, and it won't make a pop sound anymore.

I am encountering the same problem on my Verizon Galaxy S5. There is a popping noise (actually it is a double "pop pop" sound) when switching tracks (occurs in Samsung music player as well as Google Play Music). It's also noticeable when muting/unmuting the phone, and when the phone screen seems to go off. I have disabled power saving features as suggested, but the problem remains.
The problem is not noticeable on headphones (but could be due to the lower volume levels of headphones). It IS noticeable when I use the phone with an AUX cable in my car, and extremely bad on the PA loudspeaker system I use for work (I'm a dance teacher, and have generally used my phone as a music player). This is very annoying, and not what I would expect from Samsung's "flagship" phone.
I did a factory reset as suggested by Samsung tech support. Still have the problem.
I took the phone into Verizon's corporate store in SF, and the Verizon staff member recreated the problem with his own S5 too, suggesting this problem is inherent in all S5s.
What baffles me is the lack of a large number of complaints on message boards and the Samsung support forum. Doesn't anyone use their cell phone to play music at birthday parties, weddings, etc? I would have expected more outcry about this.
Any help appreciated!
Guys I am having the same issue with my S5. It is strange there is not enough complaints on it from people!
I have talked to Samsung about it and they don't believe such a huge bug!
Has any body solved this issue?
popping noise driving me mad on s5!
I have the same problem with a new s5 from 3 network. It's highly annoying and doesn't seem to matter which music player is used, power saver on or off and volume low or high on the phone or external speaker via an auxiliary cable. The same cable might I add I used for months for my S3. This just adds to annoying aspects to the s5 and I'm already looking for alternatives to Samsung even though my contract still has 23 months left! A fix for this is needed and will send the handset back for replacement if I have to!
They're was a setting inside one of the system files you could edit to help with the popping sound. I'll try to find the thread and post it up.
OK thanks. I have reluctantly factory reset and the noise is still there sometimes so others have found reset doesn't work. Will look at settings if you can find the thread.
I can't find it but I know it had to do with the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm just not sure what needed to be edited. I'll keep looking tho.
I'm having the same problem . Only when I skip to the next song and it is only out of the left channel.
Popping sound when skipping songs
Have you tried enabling the equaliser in settings under audio effects, as this has resolved the issue for me.
I have the problem as well. Its freaking ridiculous. I thought it was my music player for the longest time. I don't believe I had the issue when I first got the phone, but I really don't remember. I don't have power saving on and it doesn't happen all the time either. But it only happens at song changes or pause/unpause. I get the same double pop as nathandias described. Its bothering me a ton.
i was thinking it would be nice if people recorded the sound (standard audio cable from phone jack to line-in or mic of a computer)
it would be strange for it to be happening across such varied android versions (start of thread is when 4.4 was used, you can have 6 now with cyanogenmod, 5.1.1 from samsung, etc)
Hi,
I have the same problem, it's really annoying! I cannot understand why not much more people are complaining about this. It shouldn't be a problem in a Smartphone today! My Samsung S III didn't have this issue.
I made a video so you can see what we are talking about: Link deleted Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post a link here. You find it on Youtube entitled "Samsung S5 SM-G900F, popping sound between songs".
Did anyone find a solution? Thank you.
Hi. OP was a while ago! The solution was to use a logitech Bluetooth reciever connected to my 5.1 speaker system. Turns out it stops the annoying noise and for me with my s5 had better and louder sound quality. Well worth the purchase!

Loving the phone so far, but I'm sad to say while connected to my Sony x-7s wireless speaker, I hear a Popping sound about every 15-20 seconds.
I jumped over to my old Note 3 and played the exact same file and the distortion vanished, so I know it's the phone.
Anyone else getting this or know of a workaround? Hopefully it can be fixed by an update.

I'm having the same problem with my V10. Tried it on a Bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth speaker. On WiFi and cellular. Problem does not go away.
same here, only difference is that it happens to certain speaker and not the others.
I've tried on 4 different bluetooth speakers that I have, and on one of them it would sound absolutely horrible and distorted. Tested the same speaker with Note 4 and boom beautiful sound.
I'm lucky that the adapter that I use in the car isn't affected.
Bluetooth audio reminds me of the original OG Pro, which sounded like an over compressed files being broadcast over AM Radio. That problem persisted until it got the KitKat update.
I suspect it has something to do with LG overlooking the need to differentiate compression/bitrates for aptX vs non aptX devices. Its definitely a major letdown, but one likely to be fixed.

streaming on my aptx receiver in the car is perfect, it actually sounded a lot better than my note 4. But yeah, on the cheap portable bluetooth speaker...not so much.
I have the Verizon LG V10 and occasionally hear the popping when connected to my Bose Soundlink III, and cheap BT speaker at work and in my truck (2013 Ford F-150). But what is even worse, it randomly "stutters" on all three as well all the time! I noticed today in my truck that every time it stuttered, the "play" and "pause" buttons flashed on the touch screen--kinda like the phone was telling it to pause and then play very quickly.
Anyone else seeing anything like this? Any ideas to fix? Other than this pretty major issue, I am lovin' this phone! Thanks for any help!

The stutter is killing me as well. I have yet to pin point the exact cause to it, but this is quite unacceptable for a hexacore device.
I use poweramp btway, and I've tried increasing the buffer etc to no avail. At first I thought it was only struggling when google map is running in the background, or when the list of apps are full. But I've tried clearing all recent apps, even without anything in the background it still stutters.
I hope someone figures out what's wrong. Coming from note 4, I'm a little disappointed with all of these random quirks that frankly is unacceptable for a flagship device.

My problem occurs with Google Play music streaming as well as downloaded playlists; the stock LG app with the LG that came with the phone and streaming Pandora. And occurs whether connected to my Bose SLIII, my truck or SoundPal speaker at work... I've tried clearing all recent apps, restarting the music app and restarting the phone... none of that works... Very disappointing and sure hope a fix comes out from somewhere soon!

so I finally rooted and hard reset last night. Two things that I've changed now:
-Unchecked the NuPlayer option under developer mode
-Installed Viper4android
so far...no skipping yet!
So maybe you can try unchecking the Nuplayer option to see if it helps. Also, I suspected it could be some other app like AdGuard that I installed before I rooted. I don't have that anymore since I'm back to Xposed.

I spoke too soon, the issues are coming back again now.
I noticed that the audio will start popping when data is flowing. e.g. when a notification is coming in, a text, an incoming whatsapp chat, a movement in map, etc.
this is frustrating.
Google Now Voice Settings
So I had this problem appear about a week ago, and then I tracked down what I changed. Try disabling Bluetooth Headset in the Google now voice settings. I turned it on hoping it would make OK Google detection better with my head unit. It didn't, it just made the audio pop every 3 seconds.
TL;Dr turn off Bluetooth Headset in Google now - voice settings.

Yeah, turns out it only reduced the issue, not removed it. I don't understand why it would suddenly appear for me. Worked fine for 6 months, had the Marshmallow update for a while now. Suddenly one day it starts sounding like crap.

I usually reboot when it gets really bad, then it'll be good for some time before it starts popping like crazy again.
Again, this is not a new issue for LG. It's been reported since the day of G2.
I am having the same issue ATT LG V10 not rooted, Google voice Bluetooth headset settings is off. I have the problem when listening with my jaybird headset or 2016 Honda fit, mostly with Google music and beyond pod whether audio is downloaded or streaming. As a Samsung Note user for many years this is disappointing and debilitating!
I cleared the cache for all apps, and the skipping went away. I'm going to see how long it takes before it comes back.
Yeah, had this issue with my LG G3 and now with this phone. Not sure how LG can continually use poor Bluetooth chips. Other devices work fine but this one pops so often, it's painful using my Bluetooth headphones or speakers. It's sad cause I love the amp on it when listening wired.
Fixed (so far) my Bluetooth problems by disabling (check the box) battery optimization on system apps. My solution post http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/marshmallow-blue-tooth-problems-solved-t3409943/page1
Hey everyone,
I've seen a few mentions of this issue but would like to have a thread to specifically discuss it and maybe find a resolution.
After pairing a bluetooth music device for the first time it will play just fine.
Come back some time later, the device reconnects automatically but no sound will play (even though your music app shows that the track is playing).
Turn off bluetooth, or just disable media streaming for the device, turn back on/reenable and sound comes back.
This is an extremely annoying issue that wasn't present on my last Android 5.x.x device. I'll forget about it until I'm driving and then have to wait until I stop to safely restart bluetooth.
Please let's keep this topic reserved for this specific bluetooth issue. If you have a different issue please start another thread.
My device: Spring LG G5 (LS992) on 6.0.1
Notes so far:
Simply restarting the phone doesn't fix it.
Unconfirmed - Happens only after switching bluetooth devices (going from your car, to your home stereo, and then back out in the car). I switch vehicles a lot for my job.
Suggestion here is to clear app data for Google Connectivity Services. Will try today.
Like mentioned in the other topic I might have the same issue on my Nexus 5 (2013) with Android 6.0.1 and parrot carkit. How is your Bluetooth volume on the phone when you start playing music? To me it seemed to be worse when Bluetooth volume was muted actually.

I have the same problem. Came from a G4, which worked fine playing pandora in my car. On my G5, I start pandora on the dash app, it opens on the phone in accessory mode as normal. Everything looks like it's playing ...dash shows what's playing and all, but no sound. I haven't tried the restarting bluetooth/media audio on the bluetooth device settings, but I'll try that after work to confirm it's the exact same problem.
I have been experiencing this issue on my LG G5. I have phone audio, but no media audio. The car display shows whatever is playing on the phone, including the time code as a song advances for instance, but no sound. I have checked in bluetooth settings to ensure both phone and audio are on. I've disconnected and reconnected. It did work 1 time, but that's it. I've had the phone for a little over 2 weeks and its fully updated.
I have the Same issue in my car, everytime i need to disable/Enable Bluetooth to get Sound working.

Bluetooth has been the one problem I have with this phone. I lose connectivity to my Moto 360, my headphones need to be unpaired before I can use them again, it's seriously driving me nuts.
I am having momentary phone audio cut out when using my car BT. The radio will come back on for several seconds and the the phone will come back. I am wondering if the VoLTE function might have something to do with this. I have disabled VoLTE so I can test it although I really have no clue if it is related.
I believe this has to do with having 2 devices connected. The 1st will act as phone connection and the 2nd as audio only. The phone might think for some reason you still are connected to both or you actually have a lot of range in one of them and remains on.
Disabling VoLTE resolved my problem.

First of all let me say that folks are reporting different issues with Bluetooth. Mine was that when connected in my car I would lose phone audio for 10 or 20 seconds repeatedly. The radio audio would come back on and after a while the phone audio would come back.
VoLTE, as I understand it, allows voice and data simultaneouly. I disabled it on my G5 under settings/call/VoLTE. Once you disable it you will no longer see "HD" displayed in you dialer links. My problem resolved completely. I called T-mo this morning and cancelled my replacement handset.

If you disable that, you lose Band 12 in America on T-Mobile, which I need since I drive through some pretty backwoods places where Band 12 is my only way not to switch to Edge.

VoLTE may not even be your related to your problem. I would try disabling it just to troubleshoot.
FYI still having to turn bluetooth off and on very often.
It does only seem to happen when I connect from one device to another i.e. I listen in my car and later that night I use my bluetooth speaker. Phone thinks music is playing on the speaker but no sound from speaker. Turning bluetooth off and back on fixes immediately (after reconnect)

I have Sony xperia z3 and only use Bluetooth with one device and have the same issues. Only started with 6.0 upgrade
I have the same problem on my H850:
When I turn on my headset, it will show "connected to call audio" in Bluetooth settings (my bluetooth is always on due to my Pebble smartwatch). No matter how many times I turn on and off my headset, it will always only connect to call audio, despite the option "use for media audio" being activated. If I unpair it and pair it, it connects to both for this one time, before going back to the previous behavior. If I turn bBluetooth off and on again, it will connect to both call and media audio again for this one time before returning to the previous behavior.
Since it's the intl version, there is no VoLTE option.
Is there a way (settings or using an app) to fix this and force the phone to connect media audio every time?
I have the exact same issue, except that I have an android wear watch.
My only solution so far is disabling call audio for the G5 in the Bluetooth definition, but that really sucks.
Have you found any solution?
This is a known issue with LG G5 and the sad thing is that LG doesn't have a clue. Unpairing and repairing is the only solution until Android 7 upgrade. I went as far as resetting to factory defaults, T-Mobile even replaced my device..same issue. **** SOLVED WITH ANDROID 7 ****
I still have the same issue with it showing as playing with no sound and it continues happening even after the Android 7 upgrade. Issue is intermittent, restarting phone or headset or disabling and reenabling BT are only solutions I've found so far. I confirmed the vol is on high on both device and receiver.
Happens on my Kia Soul, Sony SBH50 and SBH52. The only BT devices I don't seem to have the issue with is my old MW600s, so it may be related to BT version on the headsets. May be related to switching devices sometimes, but I've had it occur when using only one device, but having made a call, or left range with the headset away from my G5. Calls still have audio but Stereo/Media BT profile doesn't operate, even though both ends make it seem as if it does.
Thanks,
Peter
