I am playing some music recorded to .ogg, using either Pocket Player or Coreplayer, but every few minutes (about 4-5 minutes), there is a little stutter during playback. It is very annoying and destroys my enjoyment.
I agree that the tracks are long (around 20 minutes) and the files are therefore large, but I have tried to increase buffer size for the players, but it seems to make no difference.
Has anyone got some inspiration for me?
thanks

I've also noticed similar minor "glitches" in the audio playback, but when playing .M4A files (similar to AAC).
Anyone else noticed this? I don't know if it also affects MP3s.
Ideas, anyone ?

Hi,
I am also facing this problem any resolution?
Yes.... this problem happens with Mp3 also.... who could think of it. It can't even play music without stammering... lets not get started on video
BANE
I have tried the basic guide to enhancing performance at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446366
and it seems to make no difference - the stutters are still there. I thought it might be related to doing a Send/receive in Messenger, but it doesn't seem to be.
This is real downer on my experience of the HD, as I was expecting it to be the ultimate communication/entertainment all-in-one device. Not so sure now.

I don't think optimizing performance has anything to do with this. I mean, playing audio is NOT a demanding process. My old xda2i used to play audio without hassle....
There is something else that is responsible for this skipping in audio on the HD, I just can't figure out WHAT.
BANE
Same for me with MP3 using PocketMusic player, hopefully will get some updates soon... Then hopefully the HD will be more of what we all wanted!
Excuse me if this is stating the obvious, but I would urge everyone experiencing this problem to be sure to REPORT IT to HTC.
If there is no obvious solution and it requires attention from HTC developers, then we can't expect them to fix it unless people actually tell them about it, preferably quite a few people !
Thanks,

I have to say that I haven't experienced this even once. And I should be seeing it more than anyone, because I listen to audio books on my Touch HD for a total of about 80 minutes every day during my commute. My files are MP3s that are up to 8 hours long (100+ MB in some cases). I use Pocket Player 3.7. Never happened to me even once so far.
That stutter was exactly what was happening to me on my previous Windows Mobile phone, the AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II). It was like a half-second pause (not a skip) every once in a while. I was seeing it with Pocket Player 3.7 and with Audible.com's own player (possibly using the libraries of Windows Media Player) on that device.
In fact, one of the things that I like best about my Touch HD is that it cured that occasional pause problem for me when listening to audio books.

Interesting.. It would probably be less noticable with speech, though.
In my case, it's more like an occasional discontinuity in the tempo of the music, perhaps like a tiny fragment has been skipped. I only notice it every few minutes, but then again because the sound quality is generally very good, it's an annoying artifact in an otherwise pleasant listening experience.
I'm using the same music files that played back OK on my old PDA, so it can't be the fault of the files. I've not got any other fancy software loaded that might upset it, either.

That's probably true. There are more silences between sentences and, sometimes, words. That increases the likelihood that the stutter might coincide with one of those, which reduces my likelihood of noticing it. On the other hand, what are the odds of it always having coincided with those occasional brief silences in the audio book, in my entire two weeks' worth of audio book listening (easily over 10 hours) since I got the Touch HD?... I've never noticed it even once, while my similar stuttering experience on my Tilt was fairly obvious and annoying on a regular basis.
I have the same problem in all music players. It IS annoying. I have read in the Touch Diamond forum that they have had the same issue from day one. My Prophet and Trinity never had this skipping issue. Maybe a future rom will fix it.
Interesting thread here.. havent noticed anything so far on my HD..
testing it now to see if it accures!
will tell you the results in a bit
After aprox. 20mins of mp3s all is smooth without problems!
Guys i dont know why you have this annoying glitches.. i have no problems with mp3s or what so ever.. (using TF3D player)
the sound quality from the HD to my Creative Aurvana is just superb! i cant see why some people complain about the sound quality!
(get a decent pair of headphones maybe?)
here are is the info of my HD:
ROM: 1.14.40.1.3 (22273) WWE
ROM date: 10/24/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
FYI as we all do.. i added a lot of programs and tweaks to the device so its not "clean"
as it was out of the box!
hope you resolve this issue.. but my guess its just a small bug in some rom builds?
yes this is a bug, and a bad bug too, it makes listening to any track really irksome. It has that sort of effect, where you sit there just waiting for the track to stutter.
the funny thing is that the stutters occur between 4-5 minutes apart. There must be something to that, the processor must become occupied at these regular intervals.
I think the obvious point, as someone pointed out above, is to report it to HTC - what they will do I have no idea, they normally don't answer my bug reports other than a formal receipt.
It seems from the posts here that this is definitely a problem. Perhaps another class action to make some action? The HD is now useless to me as a media player ...

can you post rom version etc of your device?
I have the stuttering problem as well and it's really annoying.
I have the same problem - using windows media player playing mp3 files

I have the same problem too, I thought I was the only one.
I will try a hard reset and play some audio files to check if it is related to some piece of software installed on my HD.
i have the same problem, i am using mp3 at 320 kbs without conversion with the manilla player...the stutter is really a fraction of a second, but it is annoying indeed.
Hello All,
Is there any people got the sound lag issue?
I tried hard reset the X1 , and use the WMP to play the wma or mp3
and the music will have a lag "random and very short" like the HTC Diamond
"Actually I have diamond before, and the problem is exactly the same"
Also I found the GPS lag issue also like the diamond = ="
Is anyone get the same issue??
Hey,
I have the same problem with the sound.
Really frustrating when listening to music, it happens at least once on every song.
Aren't there someone who knows how to fix this?
Hi guys and gals,
I have recently stopped using my Sony Walkman, which sounds great with my Sennheiser earphones so that I can use the HD2's in-built player with Audio Booster and SRS Wow 1.5.xx. The combination sounds just as good as my Sony walkman, and delivers good quality at all frequecies.
However, I have two grievances that needs to be resolved somehow.
1) The Audio Boosters turns off every 5 mins. The only two "fixes" that I have seen do not work; the cab provided by Touch-X or the advice from the Leo Tips and Hints thread to keep the Audio Booster running in the background. Neither of these actually work.
2) The music playback always stutters when something network related is happening in the background, whether it be an SMS coming through or changing from 3G to HDSA. It is very annoying, and didnt happen with my N95, so why with a 1GHz "beast"?
Do you think HTC are aware, and is it worth asking them about it?
Thanks.
Any body care to comment, or everybody more interested in the fake HD3 and the SMS bugs?
boss i do have similar issue ....
cruel htc have looted our cash with this Buggy crap .............
i hate u htc for hd2.........

I dont hate HTC. My phone is working fine apart from the above. There may be other faults in features I dont use, but I am guessing that most of the bugs are inherent in the Sense interface. Looks like the first time they built Sense into WinMo wasnt the best idea.
hey i dont know if you know this by now but if you press the X button in the right upper corner instead of the done button when you adjusting the audio booster it´s saves it for all the songs. annoying bugg butt this is a soulotion that works. bad english but who cares i am from sweden and good luck
I have a terrible problem. I'm proud owner of some Sennheiser MM550-X Bluetooth earphones/headphone and have problems while watching movies from internal memory and external sources like streaming youtube or from my NAS.
The audio has a terrible delay of something around 1-2 seconds.
Makes me wondering. I thought nearly every device supports apt-x for Bluetooth audio... Seems like aosp based devices didn't.
I google a little bit around and seeing hundreds of posts from people having the same problem. It seems to be a known issue since ICS but it is still present in JB. Google didn't fix it.
The problems seems to be caused by the integrated chip which handles wifi and Bluetooth together. If both is enabled the delay is much higher... It also effects games and system sounds like the tick sound from keyboard etc.
It also looks like some devs found possible fixes for that. Think I saw a post on transformer Prime forums from team eos who might have fixed that.
Is it possible for anyone to fix this problem. Are there any Bluetooth drivers to play around with?
I also noticed the same issue on my HTC One X which is also tegra3 powered but it is not so hard like on nexus 7. On iPod and ipad I have no delay issues, which proves that this is an android bug.
For anyone with the same problems I found out that dice player from play store fixes that issue for me for watching videos. It also have the option to adjust the audio delay manually. But this is only for watching movies... The system sound delay still persists.
Thanks and regards from berlin

AOSP roms simply don't support APT-X. you need to use a stock rom on a phone that supports it (one-x, gsIII, note 2, etc)
So the problem is - you're not getting apt-x.
Went back to playing Need for speed no limit and surprised that the audio was crackling and lagging like ****, gameplay was very smooth no issues , just the audio
note that it only happens with speaker, and also the stutter happens in short bursts , it's like ok for sometime then it happens , then goes back ok then happens again
for now the only app it happens on is need for speed no limits, i play other intensive apps like pubg and asphalt 9 .. no issue with those , and with any other media things
anyone facing same issue ? anyone would know the reason or a fix ?
I have the same issue with my 7 Pro... Very annoying..
been having it since my OP5 was on nougat, i'd say it's more of a game optimization issue, it's probably not your phone
