Has anyone else experience the same problem where their music would not play smoothly anymore Neutrino v2.0 and v2.1(p)? My music played just fine on v1.4.
I'm using powerAMP and I've already tried increasing the audio buffer and the audio thread priority and neither is fixing the problem. This happens both from the speaker and through the headphone.
I saw a post about this in the main dev thread no one else seemed to have followed up on it =(.

I think it has something to do with the 'Media step' mod, which I deleted from V2.0 onwards so it shouldn't be a problem...
Can you describe in more detail what happens?
The phone runs very smooth in all other aspects, but the audio would hiccup...as if I was listening to CDs that were scratched.
I have had the same experience. I have tried different music programs so it's not app-specific. I've also flashed a different kernel to see if that could be the problem.
I have noticed I do not get the same bugs as on different cm7 ROMs where the speaker wouldn't work at all after unplugging from the car dock so the trade-off's been worth it.
I only experiance this when the phone switches from 3g to H. And the slipping becomes extremely bad when I lose service for a bit. If I go to networks and select 2g only, it seems to somewhat fix it. Until I drop service. Used several different radios with the same result
I'm going a hunch that the tweak to the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec in the build.prop is somehow interfering - I've edited mine from 150 to 50 and I think it sounds smoother on the speaker but that could just be deceiving. I'll update after I've used it in the car dock on my way home.
-Update-
To I'm sure no one's surprise, this did not work. Music still pops. Maybe once or twice every thirty seconds.
I just tried playing music in airplane mode and the music doesn't skip either with Wi-fi on or off.
Is this problem only with PowerAmp? Does it work fine with other music players?

Every music player. Stock, double twist, poweramp etc. I have tried them all.
Confirmed for me with every music player, not just with powerAMP.
TTT Any fix yet?
I've been looking into this over the weekend. It happens on all media players I've tested:
DoubleTwist
WinAmp
PowerAMP
Stock
Sometimes it is so subtle that you wouldn't noticed if you didn't literally have every nuance of a song memorized. I took logcat logs and marked every "skip" I heard, while playing video games with my headphones on for a few hours this weekend, but nothing stuck out of the logs.
This issue is not in 1.4S, but was in 2.0, 2.1, and still in 2.1P. Sorry I don't have any other useful info.

Will yours skip if in airplane mode? Mine doesn't.
mine actually skips in airplane mode aswell, but rarely...
See if it skips in V2.2...
Bad news...the audio still skips. I'm seeing that it happens often especially when there are changes in reception, like when it's switching between h+ and 3g...
I can happily confirm that setting SeCPU profiles to sleep at max and min @ 456mhz fixes the skipping.
Hmmm, I thought that would hinder the battery saving effects of clocking down. I've been clocking the CPU down to around 216-312 Mhz when my phone is idled.
Usually I'm playing audio on the phone when I'm driving and I have the phone plugged in to the car charger, I'll try to increase the min clock for when the phone is charging and report back.
I don't know if it's worth mentioning again, but with the same setting I have now in V1.4, the audio doesn't skip at all. I'll also test if this is happening with weekly #6 as well.
I realize this is a bit off topic, but seeing as how my issue is audio related I figured I'd give it a shot.
In short, my internal speaker is going in and out. There's no specific instances I'm seeing, but I can say I notice it most when it goes out during a phone call. A couple of times I've noticed a bit of a raspy sound, kind of like a loose speaker wire or skipping cd would make (which leads me to think it's the speaker itself).
That being said, if anyone else is having this issue I'd like to help out as best I can.
I'm on 2.2, btw. Currently running 100% EE, with the CM7 provided Google Apps.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the intrusion.
On my Nexus S with ICS 4.0.3 I noticed a behaviour which I find a little bit annoying and useless. When I have headphones plugged in, the output for Music & Games etc. goes through them, as expected. However, Ringtones & Notifications, as well as Alarms, still go through the speaker. So when you listen to Music in the Subway, or wherever, and someone calls you, the Music will suddenly be muted via the headphones and then the phone rings through the speaker on the back, instead of your headphones.
I asked a bit around and found out, that it was always this way in Stock Android. At first I thought there may be a problem with my phone, since I didn't have this behaviour on my old HTC Wildfire. But apparently HTC deliberately changed/fixed this behaviour in HTC Sense.
Is there any way to fix this, without switching to another ROM completely (I hear CM fixed this as well for instance, but MIUI does not)? I'd like to stay at the Stock ROM for now, may be with some additional changes/extensions installed through ClockWorkMod.

This happens as well on my skyrocket and t989, is there any fix?
Good morning All,
I am having trouble with my HTC Amage 4G (Ruby) not maintaining the audio effects/enhancements. As with many others I do have a very touchy 3.5mm headphone jack (although it is not as bad as the 1st Ruby I had..now on the 2nd unit) which makes this issue even more of a PITA. Please see below for more information:
PHONE INFO:
HTC Ruby
Super CID/Juopunutbear S-OFF
Energy ICS ROM (08/06/2012)...{Android 4.03; HTC Sense 3.6}
stock Kernel
HTC music player (version 3.5.2212262667.305764)
HTC music enhancer (version 1.0.2211142240.253498)
DSP manager (version 2.0)
My Question: (and yes I did search the forum for sound enhancement issues).
Is there any way to force the sound enhancement settings to either hold the last known setting or even default to a particular enhancement (it defaults to no effects right now) for the HTC music player?
I have tried a couple different music player apps, and so far the HTC music player has the best mix of features for my application, but by no means does that mean that I am locked in to using it (will be trying Apollo player today), if there is something better.
Everytime there is even the slightest movement on my headphone jack, I either lose one speaker, or it stops the music player altogether, when this happens it knocks the settings back to "no effects". This is a pain in the a$$ to say the least. Basically if the music stops, I have to go back in and re-set the desired enhancement.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated, TIA.
bad jack

Dunno about keeping the settings, but I do believe HTC shipped faulty jacks. Unsure if the replacements help or not.
I too have a faulty jack but i use dsp manager to globally save enhancements
sound
get any sound enhancement
:: beats audio
search the xda forum ,,, forgot the link but there is a forum with the beats port.. get that
Are there any that'll work with beats audio? I know about Noozxoide but it doesn't work with the stock HTC Music app. Anyone know of any that can be flashed and used?
Thanks
I have used Equalizer and Equalizer FX with Beats Audio turned on with the stock music app. However after the JB update any third party equalizer I used gave me crap loads of issues with my phone for some reason. Reboots, force closes, tons of lag, skipping audio, losing voice dialing, etc.. I eventually downloaded PowerAmp. Poweramp kicks the $h1+ out of the stock music app in functionality and ease of use and Beats Audio quality any day. Especially since HTC decided to take about 7-10 equalizer settings away from us 3 or 4 OTA updates ago. I also think there is a Musicbox file you can flash on the forums somewhere. It was baked into MeanBean for a little while. It gave us back all the eq's HTC took away plus a few other added in.
I use my phone to connect to my cars bluetooth. I've had since the phone since July and it sounded really good up until about three days ago. For some reason the audio lowered and doesn't sound as crisp as it used to. I know it is not the car stereo because my other devices still play perfectly. I have to turn my radio up to the point where the music will sound distorted.
Example = s4 on bluetooth turned to 25 - sounds great
s4 on bluetooth now turned to 25 - can barely hear it.
Is there a setting or even an equalizer that I can use to maybe fix this issue? Also is there any setting in the phone ( running stock ) that I might've pressed that decreased my volume?
Look into a custom rom, I know Hyperdrive has a volume hack slight/loud which works for me. Hopefully someone has an easier way to accomplish this.
Unfortunately I can't root this phone because it was given to me for work purposes.
Sometimes I have this problem, idk how busy you are, but hangouts will sometimes lower volume for me to make a notification sound and forget to put it back, try making your phone give you a notification sound and see if puts it back
