searched the forums, never saw this mentioned.
i have a weird issue on my qtek. every time the sound playback starts, i get a freeze of a second or so. so the freeze actually occurs before the sound is played back.
initially i thought that the entire device is just slow, but then i installed a game where this became very obvious ( Dyna/Bomber ). every time the bomb was going to explode, the screen froze for a second or so, and then sound was played back and it moved on. so i turned off ingame sounds and everything was fast.
after that i went into settings/sounds¬ifications, turned off "enable sounds for .. Events ( warnings, system events ) and voila, my start menu opens in a snap, instead of two seconds it usually took. Actually all menus, as every menu click has a default "click" sound for it.
But the root issue remains, every sound playback causes a system freeze, any idea on what to check or where do i start debugging the problem ?
i have got a few programs installed, and i really would not like to do a hard reset.
got the k-jam myself, but have to say not a problem i have ever had,
what program are you using for music?
its not the issue with playing music specifically, its with _any_ sound, like system beeps, sounds in menus etc etc. every clip of voice that comes starts out of speaker freezes the system for a second. so i have most of notification sounds turned off
i had a problem at one time with sound, caused by a music player changing the asociations of some audio files, so an audio player was trying to play the ringing tone etc.
sorry cant remember what program it was?

Hi All,
Just received my p3600 this morning and ive noticed some strange sound issues with it.
Rom Version : 1.23.405.2 - Date : 03/11/07
Radio Version : 1.38.00.11
Basically what happens is that when im playing back audio or video whether it be from windows media player or coreplayer, right at the beginning of the song i get a couple of low "blips". More like a very faint crackling, for example when we used to put the needle on old LP's. This happens pretty much everytime i play the song from the beginning. Also, when i use Coreplayer and select do benchmark, for the first couple of seconds i hear that same noise, then the video zooms past but no audio except for the very faint beeping crackling noise. Im just wondeirng if anyone else has come across this or if their Trinity does the same etc? Any fixes?
Thanks!
Ricardo
some more info
I listened to the sound it makes using headphones and it seems like to be the audio comes on, then goes off then comes back on suddenly and plays the music. This happens all very quickly, like within half a second. Also when i forward to the middle of the music video for example, it plays, then pauses as the sound kicks in, then plays normally after.
I though that it could have been the video but then i disabled the audio from within core player and then when playing the videos there was no pause or skip at all.
Does this sound like there is something wrong with the phone or a rom issue? thanks!
update
i know im posting alot about this, its just bugging me lol It seems like there is a delay with the audio system. For example, when using coreplayer, i try and lower the volume and there is about half a second delay from when i press the down button to when the volume actually drops. Same thing if i increase the volume. Also, when watching a video i have to adjust the manual A/V offset to -0.200 so that the audio is in sync with the video. Im just wondering if anyone else has this problem, if its normal for the rom or whether its a hardware fault? cheers

I've searched and haven't seen a thread about this yet, so sorry if it's a double post.
Yesterday I started playing some music on my HD2, and all went good. The volume change was nice, with that bar appearing instead of the grey screen. However when I changed to a different artist, and went to increase the volume, the music paused for a second, then continued at the higher volume. The volume bar did not appear.
I went back to the original artist to see if maybe some partially corrupt MP3s were causing the problem but no, it happens no matter what now. If I change tab and play with the volume I get the grey screen and it all goes smoothly. I've tried with audio booster on & off. And I've even restarted the phone in case it was just stress getting to it - no luck.
Anyone had this problem? How did you fix it?
I have this problem too, drives me crazy! More so since the sound quality is superb! I noticed that sometimes this switch to "volume problem" follows answering the phone with or without BT ear piece, but I cannot be entirely sure. Does anybody have any solution?
I have this problem too! The same thing happens in the streaming video app as well. Also I find that it's very hit and miss when the green volume bar appears (the horizontal one) as opposed to the grey one (vertical) Anyone else find this?
I had this problem the first day with my Leo, but it suddenly disappeared. Never seen the problem since...
Just to keep you all posted - the problem went away by itself
Hoping a fix is found to stop it recurring though.
Im having this problem too... also when using windows media player (sometimes it leads to phone crash)
when any kind of audio is being played back, if I unlock or wake the screen the audio is interrupted/paused. This occurs when playing back audio through the phone's speaker, bluetooth, or headsets.
I have also noticed that it sometimes makes the same sound as when I start Google Now/Voice search, but not always. I have some programs like Media Button Router that are being impacted because their text to speech outputs are being silenced whenever they wake up the phone.
I have gone through and disabled app after app using titanium backup, but haven't found the culprit yet.
Screen lock sounds are disabled as well.
Even things like audio control of the alarm no longer work properly because the audio is being interrupted when the screen is woken up.
any ideas?
bump: any ideas? this is a really annoying issue.
Happens everyday (even with my S6). It'll stop when audio is playing for a bit, or after I hit the volume button. It doesn't do it constantly through out the day, but it'll happen atleast once everyday i'm listening to audio. Anyone else?
Anyone?
It is happening with my S8 either when playing games or youtube and even music.
This problem started after the software update. So i think it is a software issue..
Whenever the sound cut off, i just lock the screen and unlock it back....
Hope Samsung will release a software update as soo as possible
Games is fine for me, it's just players like YouTube, music apps, and players inside websites. Just gotta press play again. Pretty annoying, but happens atleast once a day, not constantly through out the day.
It happens to me in Youtube and NBA app when video is being played.
Sometimes the screen just shuts off completely too.
I agree it's not consistent.
To add, sound not working sometimes when i am using skype and even sometimes for my alarms.
What do you think, is it a software problem or hardware?
Seems to happen more through out the day now. It's pretty annoying.
This just started happening to me yesterday. I've tried restarting my phone, pausing the video and playing it again, turning the volume all the way down then back up. All of those things restore the sound but it'll cut out a few seconds later. Also audio plays just fine in my headphones.
I dont have my s8 yet, but this sounds like a problem I used to have on a previous galaxy s phone (i think it may have been the s4). It turned out I had a setting enabled where the player pauses or stops when I'm not looking at the screen. It's called smart pause. Could be something similar although i'm not sure.
Uggg
Same problem here. Got the s8 less than a week ago and I use spotify offline (downloaded) and Google Music for downloaded files and it always pauses after about 15 minutes, sometimes sooner. I don't use battery saver, and none of the 'smart' features are enabled. It happens with headphones, without headphones, on Bluetooth. Just pauses the song and I have to hit play again, super annoying and I can't find any fix. I'm really regretting this purchase.
I also have S8 and currently experiencing this kind of issue. Every after 1 minute of playing either youtube or videos on my phone it paused and I didn't even clicked it.
I have a problem like this on my s7edge. Then I thought it can be related third party apps. And yes when I uninstall Sputnik news app, it solves the problem.
Why when notification comes or even playing music games video etc I heard Sound like crackling?
Glad I'm the only one who noticed this too, I'm playing some rhythm games on this phone (in case you're wondering, it's Bang! Dream or Bandori) and sometimes there's a crackling sound coming from the speaker whenever I tap the notes (and it's making the tapping sound effect, aside from the music in the background). On top of that, sound effects from the tapping seemingly can't play while other sound effects (the song itself) play. This means that fast streams in songs pretty much always have note sounds missing and this really throws me off when I play, as I play with the sounds as an assistance in a way (which means getting full combo is a no go). The only way to temporarily fix it is by restarting the phone entirely and then the game works properly once - if you play it and then close the game and reopen it, the bug continues. Another way I recently found is just to keep playing longer, as in around 10 minutes and beyond and it gradually fix itself as in calibrating the sounds, however strange that sounds.
The problem is whether on hardware or software?
