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.
Hi,
I've search the forum for a problem similar to mine but don't find anything that matches quite right.
When I listen to tracks (headset) and keep the phone on, there is no problem. If I put the phone in my pocket then when the lockscreen activates I start to hear stuttering. It does not matter what audio app I'm using, it can be the stock player, or my podcast player - of which I've tried a few -all with the same problem.
After some further testing I came to the realisation that this issue is not only related to lockscreen, its related to wifi as well. When I'm traveling on the London underground which is now becoming wifi enabled, everytime I enter/leave a station the audio playback starts to stutter. If I push the power button to reactivate the screen it starts playing perfectly again. The stuttering only occurs when screen is locked or device is sleeping or whatever we call the mode when it turns off the screen.
When I leave the house while listening to music, I get exactly the same problem, as soon as I get out of range of my wifi connection it starts stuttering. Once again reactivating the screen immediatley fixes the issue.
When I turn wifi off during my travel there is a noticible improvemenet to the amount of stuttering I get, but not always completely gone, which leads me to believe it might be related to any connection / disconnection including 3g. Or maybe that the wifi issue is incidental rather than causal.
The sound resumes normal playback after anything up to 10 secs of stuttering. It really makes listening to music or podcasts while traveling to/from work quite irritating.
I had this issue with 2 different builds - the original stock build from T-Mobile - and is still the case after using Odin to upgrade (downloaded from here) to
baseband: I9300XXDLID
Kernel: 3.0.31-368423
Build: JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ4
Phone is not rooted.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions of fixes for me. Would really like to listen to tracks without having to keep my phone in my hand and draining my battery unnecessarily.
Thx for any help....
I haven't seen anyone else post this yet so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a Bluetooth speaker in my car that works fine on stock or on kit Kat roms. But on every lollipop rom I've tried, the audio through the Bluetooth is slightly slowed down (resulting in everything sounded a little lower) and kind of choppy.
The audio plays fine through the phones speaker or through a headset, it's only on Bluetooth that this happens.
Any body else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Same issue here.
I think it may be the speaker I'm using, because I had the same issue when I connected my tablet to it that is also running lollipop. I need to find a different Bluetooth device and see if the problem persists.

I was doing a search on this issue myself, which brought me here. It's actually only one speaker I have that does this, and it's the newest BT device I have. It's the HDMX Rave portable BT speaker. It worked fine with the KK ROMs I was using at the time I got it, but ever since updating to LP, only that speaker of all the BT audio devices I own does that.
Weird...
Similar Issue
Hi,
I've also experienced this, although it seems my Bluetooth plays much worse than yours. It's slow for a bit, then choppy and breaks up, then it'll speed up the music to get back to where it should be. It renders Bluetooth music completely unusable.
I've found:
High CPU usage causes this in KK (skydragon) for me. The high-usage culprit is the netd module, not sure if that's relevant.
I've flashed Jasmine Lollipop (5.0.11) lots of different ways, with several different modems, and it still has this issue.
It doesn't seem to depend on the app, as it happens with the default music app and with Spotify (192 Kbps).
It happens on both of my Bluetooth devices, a cheapo portable speaker and my nicer car stereo. I don't know the BT versions they use.
Disabling WiFi helps a little, disabling data does nothing.
Anyone have any workarounds?
i had the same problem when connecting to my car speaker.
funny thing is some days it works great, and other days all of a sudden it just plays all slow. anyone got fix?
So I've been doing some more tinkering. Turning off WiFi will fix the issue for my "dumb" bluetooth speaker (it's a pair button and a power switch only), however it will only fix the issue for the first ~3 minutes on my Clarion car stereo (with all sw updates). I've disabled literally every Bluetooth service, activity, provider, and responder that isn't essential for A2DP connections. I'm able to access the hidden menu item for Bluetooth testing, but I don't really know how to use it. If someone has directions for that I'd gladly put my phone through the paces.
Hi guys,
Found another thread discussing this, but I am confident this isn't the same issue.
Just got an S9+ Snapdragon (SM-G965WZAAXAC) last week.
I ran the debloat from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-bloatware-youd-recommend-to-rid-off-t3759500
The next day a Samsung update was presented (R16NW.G965WVLU2ARF7) and installed (this is important since I do not know if the update has caused this issue!).
The issue is the following: Whenever I am playing music via bluetooth in the car (Play music), the audio will stutter every 5-20secs. Restarting the phone or simply turning bluetooth on/off will resolve the issue temporarily, but after a bit it will do it again!
What I noticed was that putting a load on the phone or toying in the settings (performance mode for example) will restart the problem (I tried to see if it changing the performance mode would resolve this).
I looked into the battery saving crap from Samsung and disabled "optimize battery usage" for Play Music, Audio Connection services, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Midi Service and Bluetooth test.
I think the culprit would be a battery saving features, or something in the kernel (governor??) that "reduces" the priority of handling BT communications.
Does anyone else have this issue? Or does anyone have any idea of how to resolve this issue?
I will be doing a full reset within the next few days, but hopefully can avoid it if someone has the answer! Factory resets suck balls when you don't have root (Titanium Backup ftw!)!
Thanks
Hello. I am having stuttering sound after screen is off. it seems that my BT connectivity is being interrupted when my phone is on sleep mode. I tried to tap the "No restriction" in battery for Spotify but still the problem exist.
Here's the weird thing and I don't know if this is connected with my problem. if i set my governor to performance for both little and big cpu, the stutter is gone but its draining my battery a lot.
any leads for the fix of my problem? thank you in advance
