Hello, Has anyone had this problem. As soon as you play a mp3 or ringtone it skips and plays fine. After it's loaded you can play it from begining to end fine without a skip. It only happens when it firsts loads. Also every time my phone rings the song skips and when I pick answer the phone it then skips again. Im not sure what the problem is I copied these ringtones from my MDA which never had this problem. Im guessing its some buffer or cache problem.

Are the files on your device, or an SD card?
There are some known issues with music and video files having to buffer before playing when they are stored on SD cards.
thanks for the reply, but no they are not. Although they did play fine off my SD card on my MDA I currently do not have a micro SD for my phone.
Check out this thread for more information. There are a few suggested changes that you can make to your device to try and eliminate the problem.
Same problem

I have the same problem. If I go into the phone settings, and I choose an MP3 ringtone and press the play button, there is a jump or skip in the beginning of the playback. If I hit the stop button and then the play button again, the skip is gone. The same thing also happens with calls coming in.
I checked that thread that someone posted, but it mainly discusses if MP3 songs on a media player are skipping or jumping.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I also have all my MP3 ringtones in internal memory.
ok i had this problem to.. dk's 3.02 0.0 rom doesnt seem to have the issue nemore my mp3 ringers which r stored on SD card dont skip nemore..maybe its rom/radio depedent as dumb as that sounds
do you think there is a way to get the fix from that rom rather than change it completely over? I don't want to run into all kinds of other problems by using a new rom.
Thanks for the replies
There has got to be a better way rather than flashing a new rom??
Anyone else having this issue??
Jonathan1683, have you resolved the issue yet? If so what did you do please?
No I haven't I even flashed to duttys rom and it did not fix the problem.
Any one else have any ideas about a fix for this MP3 ringtone saved to internal memory skipping problem??
I could be wrong, but when my phone is connected to my pc with active sync they dont seem to skip when I get calls. Have no idea why
hey Jonathan, I still haven't seen any possible solutions posted here. Have you hard reset and if you have is the problem still there??
Well I just got this phone and it had the problem out of the box, then I upgraded to the new rom released by htc and it had it and I used a cooked rom and it still has it. So I guess that means I have hard reset it. It seems to be worse now somethimes it skipps in the middle of the song too. I don't understand how the cpu could be 2x faster than my mda, but cant handle a ringtone better. The same goes for the slow/crackling dialer. Maybe it's a problem with the sound driver. Who knows....
I only seem to have the issue with the ringtones, and not while playing an MP3. I think there must be a way to fix this. Maybe some kind of registry setting??
My knowledge is limited in this field, but I am sure someone out there can help us.

Hey I have a Diamond on TRL ROM 2, but I just flashed it to try and get rid of a problem I was having with the stock ROM, however it's still there.
After a certain time (not sure how long because I realize it after), the sound for my phone stops, this includes my ringtone, sms alert and even when I try to play music. I miss all my calls and text unless I have vibrate on. Then, when I get a text message it starts to vibrate non-stop and I have to turn off my phone.
When I soft reset it or turn it off and on, it works fine again but only for a certain time.
Does anyone know what's causing this, if it's a setting or ANYTHING, please help!!!
Mine has nothing to do with my bluetooth by the way.
I have this problem too, but my diamond only stops ringing; I see that this problem occours when I disconnect my jabra headset after playing audio manager thru bluetooth.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.
little up, still having this problem, today I've lost two calls...
Any help is very appreciate, thank you.
HTC say to make sure your ringtone is on the main ROM - not the extended area (memory card).
If for any reason the card becomes unavailable (ie a blip or USB connection to PC etc) then the phone temporarily loses its path to the ring tone until a soft reset or similar...
It will either endlessly vibrate if set to vibrate & ring or be silent if set to ring only.
Happened to me a few times.
But not had it since I copied my ringtone to the main memory.
Just a thought... Ignore if your ringtone if it is already on the main ROM.
I'm going to try that and let you know, hopefully you are right!
Thanks for the tip
my ringtone is set to oldphone2, so I think that's in ROM...?
Yeah actually well I don't got my diamond to try it right now, but doesn't it copy the ringtone to the ROM folder if you set it from internal memory.
Plus not only does it not ring, doesn't play mp3s, and even if you pick up the call you can't hear incoming sound and caller can't hear you neither.
So that can't be it, but thanks for trying!
Yes, I spoke too soon as have had this again.
It loses all sound until reset.
I've now experienced this on the original and Bepe's ROM - it must be a fault in HTC's software or configuration as I've not had it on other 6.1 devices.
I'm sure HTC are working on it...
have you installed srs wow hd? ive had this issue with the old version of this software...
Hi, no i got this almost the first day (soem weeks ago), before I had installed anything. I'm running Bepe's ROM with just PocketPlayer and got it again...

Yes hopefully HTC fixes this really really soon with an update!

simply install the 1.21 cab then soft reset. works for me!
let me know...
I have the same problem. Here it's the MediaPlayer I think.
Still no sound at all
I tried everything you guys said here. And still, no sound at all on my Diamond. I put also the Elite 2.0 thinking that if i put another ROM the Sound will appear. But no. I am realy stucked.
What the "#¤#" should I do to make the sound to work?????
mate your gonna have to return your unit to service centre or place of purchase. I had the same problem, and there are others on this forum that have posted for help about this matter.
I had same issue with you losing all sound intermittently, unit would non stop vibrate when alarm sounded. Hoped it would be a software issue since soft reset fixed it temporarily. My phone has now been away for 3 weeks, still waiting for it to come back
I've got the same problems.
I found one temporary solution, and that's to copy a .WAV or .MIDI ringtone to my documents\my ringtones and set that as your ringtone, or other notifications.
It seems that the problem is with .wma files, at least with my device...

Hey I installed, and yeah the problem still remains, I think this is just to improve sound, I have NO sound...
I can't believe HTC haven't given us something to fix this yet, because with no sound this phone is useless and after spending $700 that's really frustrating.

Thanks, I think you might be on to something, since the media player default music (sample) are wma, and others have being saying it's the media player.
I'll give this a try later today and let you know, thanks!
Edit: How about using mp3s as well? Or should I just do wav?

I' m not sure, but I guess all but .wma is ok.
I use midi's btw, because there is an annoying delay with .wav
no sound at all
In my case, I took the advice of #15. For me it was easy since I just got the phone so my provider changed the phone imedately.
With the new device I put the Hard SPL OliNex 1.40 and then the TRL 2.0 ROM. And happily the device works well.
I installed the SRS WOW 1.2 which made my music playback to delay between actions. So I unistalled and this delay between actions (Play, Seek, Pause, etc) dissapeared.
I use the adapter that came with my ATT fuze to play music in my car. I'm happy that this has no noticable effect on my battery life . (I've only really used the HTC music app that's standard on the device). One issue i'm having though, is that the music undergoes (at what seems to be at random times) pauses. The music picks back up after about 10-15 seconds. I assume this is a software issue? Has anyone else had this happen or know of a fix?
Oh, its not a phone call, text or any other notification. I know the music interrupts for these.

Mine does the exact same thing. Ive used the TF3D player as well as WMP. On both, skips occur.
My music is WMA 192Kbps. I was planning on using this as my primary music player, but i guess ill use my Zune for music (sounds better anyways, but the TP has excellent audio quality, suprisingly). This alone kills its music capability for me.
I would try disabling TF3D and use WMP to play music for a day and see if it continues. Since its the only thing running on my device, it is either that or the device itself.
rom?
Are you using the stock rom? I would like to know if it is likely the rom is the culprit, because I should be flashing a new one soon thanks to all the help I got here. Anyway, I wonder if there are any out there with the Raphael that do not rock the stock rom that could let me know if they experience the same issue. hmm... for once I hope my carrier sucks and its their problem not HTC.

That might be a possibility. Im on JDs rom. Ive used other roms but never tested audio playback with the other roms. As for me, theres skipping with JDs rom. Ive heard of this before with the diamond.
Other oppinions would be great. Even a quick test for those who dont use their phones for music would be greatly appreciated.
try turning off wifi while listening
Ive switched to a new rom (eRice) which is a completely empty ROM built on 20931.
The music still skips using the built in HTC player.
I also tried it out using Pocket Player, setting the buffer to the highest setting and the skips still occur.
WiFi is off. I also had bluetooth off and the skips still occur.
I tried with both players soft resetting into standard home with no TF3D and the skips still occured with both players.
I also attempted to use it while in airplane mode and it still skipped.

HAve you tried moving the music to your phone storage then playing? Have you tried swapping SD memory for something a little quicker?
revalation
I was just thinking. Though I am using the stock rom, I still have kaiser tweaks on it and that has a registry change that affects power: turn of sd when not in use. Its possible that this is it. I'll let everyone know my findings once I test it a few times. studying for finals so I have alot of time sitting around in boderline quiet to hear these things.
findings
First and foremost. Can anyone reading this that has noticed any other links addressing this issue post them please?
I'll start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412065&page=22
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426585&page=6
neither of these solve any solutions, but if you feel you're alone you'll see you're not. But please anyone seeing anything about these issues please post. EVEN IF it is a thread to a Raphael Rom that someone asked and noone reported this issue after testing.
Anyway, my findings:
My phone skips what seems to be every 5 minutes.
HTC MUSIC TAB
Without being plugged on charger:
skips for about one second ONLY 5 minutes after pushing the power button to put it into low power mode.
This happens each time I touch the phone (to change a song)
Plugged on charger:
I tested both in low power mode and keeping the screen illuminated the whole time. It skips all the same. exact same results as before
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
whether plugged in or not, I did not experience any skip whatsoever.
(only tested music .mp3 files on all tests. sorry that's all i dl)
I was quick to say it's HTC's music tab, but Diamond (TD) users are reporting issues with all types of audio including the turn by turn gps nav voice. I am in finals week and sadly can't mess with installing the garmin software and maps I recieved yesterday, so can anyone confirm that it is all audio interrupted or just music, or best case scenario just the HTC music tab?
maybe this helps,

it uses more memory but better performance for music Playing!

Did you have this issue that it skips only after 5 minutes (once per time I input a song change or anything else into the phone) with your TP before making these registry changes? or did you have the lag that others are experiencing?
I am getting a skip, but it's just a few miliseconds "hiccup". Happens every 5-10 minutes, gets annoying after a while. Happens in Coreplayer and TCPMP for me, others have reported Pocketplayer and other players do it as well. I am on a stock Sprint ROM.
I have tried a bunch of stuff to get rid of it, but no go. Tried microdrive mode, disabling TF3D, turning off data connection ... a few other things I can't think of right now. No change at all.
I think in a bit I'll try moving a few songs into internal storage and try that. EDIT: No change, still glitches trying a couple songs on internal memory.
Here is the thread I started on PPCGeeks about this, monitor that too: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=47521

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, it did not stop the random skips that would occur. Ive tried even increasing some of those values, but that didnt help either.
Moving my music to internal storage didnt help either. Neither did decreasing the overall file size by using a lower bit rate. The skips arnt long (maybe half a second or less) but they are there, and its enough to refrain me from even using the Pro's music capability.
Even listening to streaming music using Pocket Player caused skips (which is tolerable due to the delivery method). It almost seems any kind of continuous sound causes skipping. But i guess i bought a business tool, not a multimedia or game player. Thanks HTC.
I think that's a general issue. I have it, you have it, we all have it.
Too bad that touch pro/diamond has many fallbacks.

correlation
I believe I found a correlation. After an input into the phone (of any type), using htc music tab or windows media player, then let it "sleep", it will skip once (only once) at exactly 5 min. BUT if I leave windows media player up and running (as in not viewing the home screen or any other app), even when the phone is "sleeping", it will NOT skip. So wadafxup? Any ideas? Can we limit this to a software issue? Perhaps? I hope.
I'm not sure exactly what you are saying there ... what is the correlation?
wmp
basically, windows media player keeps it from skipping once in five minutes. I wanted to see, though, if there is any interruption when using turn by turn gps or any other apps that have audio.
I had stock xxjpy firmware and my phone started ringing with no ringtone so I tried to play the ringtone and a message came up that sound file is not supported. I rhen tried playing any mp3 file and they would not play. I downloaded the rescan media app to force the phone to scan media afain and this seems to fix it.
It doesnt matter where the mp3 files are stored, they dont play all the time. This means i get missed calls as the mp3 ringtone doesnt play :-(
I did a factory reset and flashed the firmware up to the jan 2011 european firmware and then restored my user apps and data with titanium but this hasnt helped!!!
Has anyone else got this problem? It seems to be an intermittent issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you solve this issue?? I stumbled upon this today, and I can't find a solution..
I had the same problem, and I don't have a fix until now. Somone else will help us?
Also got the problem, and all my mp3's are listed double. Anyone has a clue how to fix this?
Edit: Simple reboot fixed the problem for me. If it reoccurs I wil let you guys know.
I keep experiencing this on a stock Froyo 2.2.1. Reboot solves it but there is no guarantee it won't stop again after a while.
I've found that mp4 and m4a files stop playing too and YouTube videos play but with no sound. Wave files appear to be unaffected and will play when the others are rendered mute
I so with my Galaxy S. I have ROM Darky 9.5.XWJS8 500Hz with kernel Speedmod K13E 500hz.
When he feels like it fails to recognize the .MP3 and stop working to play on mediaplayer and Miui Music, as if I have the ringtone or alarm.
When reboots the SGS turns to play OK, but stop again after a while... I don't understand why.
well apparently im having some issues with my SGS, I tried to wipe data factory and installed a whole new ROM, deleted all the music and downloaded it again (all of it ) just because the music, when played just randomly started to mix it with other songs, i couldnt listen to one single song without it being mixed automatically.
So I decided to put on some fresh downloaded music and nsome new ROM, but the problem started again!!
It keeps mixing songs without any order or reason. I tried downloading a new music player "Mixzing" but it keeps mixing, its driving me crazy.
Currently on Android Version 4.0.4
Handbase I9000XXJVU
Core version 3.1.10-i9000 Devil_1.1.6b_BFS_BLN_CMC
Compilation Dark Knight 3
mod version [email protected]_knight_nasif
I dont know what the problem could be, or the solution, I dont mind installing a new ROM or anything. I just want my music
That sounds very strange... When you say mixing, do you mean music from other songs is being inserted to a song while it's playing?
Have you tried looking at the music player app while it's playing, and looked for any strange behaviour? Eg jumping around to a new track? Maybe it's something to do with the headphone, like if there's a hardware next button it's faulty and randomly makes you skip ahead to the next track.
By mixing I mean it does not change the song, it just adds a little part of another song and then it gets back to the current song.. Lets say its playing Song A, then on the half of A it starts playing another random song (not starting a new song, but it just adds a part of another song), and then it gets back to the original song.
I dont think its a hardware problem because it does not change the song, the player keeps showing the song, but it just randomly mixes it with another song; although it displays its playing the current song.
Any other suggestion, i guess ill install power amp.
thanks for the reply
Did you manage to solve the problem? Can't really think of anything that might cause this strange behaviour... Are the mixed songs permanently there? Ie if you replay the song, the same thing plays again. If so, maybe the song file itself got corrupted somehow...
Every single time I go to play music off of my SD card with headphones plugged in, I get a message that says Music Enhancer has crashed. Anybody else have this problem? Looks like someone is having the same problem on the Verizon forum, but they haven't found a solution yet.
