x1 mp3 playback problem - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
i've posted before but didnt really get anywhere
my x1 just doesnt like mp3's much
when i play them the background music is alot louder then the lyrics themselves
the music isnt all that loud, even turned up to full
it also seems like it has an ecco
i've tried an audio fix but that didnt really fix anything
any1 else had a similar issue ?

Does it happen with different headphones too? And how about using a different player? Does it sound normal through the speaker?

sounds normal through the speaker
have tried the sony ericsson headphones aswell as a set of ipod ones that i have sitting here
happens with both
have tried media player aswell as winamp n does it with both unless its on speaker

Then it is most likely a problem with the connector. Have a look at it, maybe you can do something yourself if there's a lot of dust or dirt. Otherwise, go for warranty.

I agree with that. It is probably the connector.

ok so it turns out its the headphones themselves
theres a slight diff in the connectors from sony ericsson to apple
sollution was, if i wanted to use the apple headphones, i need to also use the small extender from sony ericsson, the antenna end of it, and plut the iphone headphones into that
kinda odd tho but eh it works fine now

audio quality

I've tried to find something in forum but with no luck.
After some weeks of use, my Kaisers started to have a bad audio quality with external speaker, even with ringtones.
I had the original Italian Rom but, also with Dutty's 06, it's the same.
Always distorted audio.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
Have you been your device with the volume controls maxed out?
If so, it may be a bad sign. Kaiser's speaker is cheap, and maybe it tears out easily. From the moment I tried to listen to music with it, I could notice lots of cracks and buzz.
But it may be only a defective speaker of yours. Lowing the volume helps ?
ARGH!
mmm
maybe yes
but I've never used the device like an ipod
just only as a phone with the ringtones...
if the speaker is dead, where can I get one new?
:'(
thx in advance

G1 Music Player Motion Activated?

OK, I'm guessing its not just me, but when my G1 is in my pocket, and I have the headphones connected(this only happens with the headphones in), it will randomly jump to different tracks, pause, stop, and pretty much be useless. I didn't have a clue my G1 could even do this, so how do I stop it? I genuinely had no idea what was happening until I started flicking my phone and realised it was controlled by the a motion sensor. It makes my music player pretty much useless though!
Thanks.
I am having the same problem. first Tmo rep replaced the phone thinking that the usb connection was compromised, but the same thing is happening with the replacement phone. tried several pair of headphones, and I have two adapters that both do it. Its the adapter. the wires must be cheap... its under HTC warranty, so the tmo rep is sending me another.
Yeah is a problem with your headphones if you got the phone before tmo started to include the adapters or the adapter if you just recently bought th ephone. I had it happen with the original headset I had and an adapter that i was using for a while. havent' had any trouble wth the new adapter that i have. My brother bought the phone and doesn't use the wired headset so he gave me his new headphones and now it works great.
I have the same problem both with my headphones and when using the 3 in 1 connector in my car, really frustrating, no issues with Tune Wiki but can't use that as the player will just randomly start anyway, tried 2 hard resets. Phone didn't do this for the 1st month or so, I don't see how it can be the connector.
Does it work?
I am new to this phone, however i tried turning the phone in all direction, plus shaking it, my music player would not change song. May i know is there a option to activate the motion sensor?

no. not untill someone develops an app that can handle using the motion sensor to change track, which i'm sure is very possible. It is not an option in the standard player, or any player available atm. (as far as i know)

3.5mm plug issue: Auto starting Music Player

Is there a way to disable the music player from starting up automatically when I plug a speaker/head phone into the 3.5mm plug? I don't know what the phone is doing, but I don't always want to play music when I plug in a speaker to the phone.
jchap2k
im also having that issue and also the slightest movement of the headphone jack makes the music player constantly skip songs and its very annoying. We need to find a fix for this.
This also happen on bluetooth as well. When i get in the car and phone connects to radio the media player starts as well. Sucks, i haven't figured out how to stop this media player from auto starting.
? What, your guys music players starts automatically when you plug in the headphones?
Mine doesnt, and I wish it did. lol
Had this problem as well. Was more noticable when JIT was enabled on CM5.0b2. Haven't noticed it on 5.0b3 with JIT off, but that doesn't mean it's fixed... very annoying. As a work around (which might be why I'm no longer noticing it) I created a playlist with a single, short sound effect as the only 'song' in the playlist. I never use the default music player, or any player for music on my phone for that matter, so this was a pretty simple one-time work around. I remember when we had a very similar, if not the same problem, on Cyanogen's G1 rom, and I had used this same workaround.

Mine did this on the stock ROM. Now I'm on CM5B3+highmem, and haven't noticed it yet.

I first noticed this problem on CM5B3. Happens any time I connect the phone to my speakers.
Weird, my Nexus doesn't do this. In fact I just added a feature (not released yet) to have it as an option! So, WTF?
I can't recall for sure, but I believe my phone did this when I had the stock rom on it. But since I started using Cyanogen's rom, I have yet to experience this.

I wonder why some experience this and some don't. Did you try twisting the plug around once plugged in? Plug movement seems to trigger it for me, but once it starts I can't get it to stop until I just unplug the phone from the speakers.
Mine is completely random, and to make things worse, it's doing it to Pandora as well. I'll run through my '6 skips' an hour in mere minutes, and on accident. Very, very annoying... It happens not only randomly, but sometimes when I pick up the phone, or touch the 3.5mm jack in any way, but not 'every time' I touch it... it's incredibly odd... I really hope it's not a hardware fault
Ive actually been wishing for that option on my Droid lol. Lucky!
Are you guys using the stock headset? i think it only does it when you do. If you use others, it doesnt?

Mine skips with a similar setup. Sometimes twisting the cable around in the jack helps. Still annoying.
I have seen this 'issue' reported on 3 other phones so far, the Tmobile Pulse (UK), Hero, G1, and now the Nexus One.
However the main thread i can think of was over at the MoDaCo forums, for the pulse.
http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/301335/the-headphone-bug/
I have the same problem too. Gets real annoying when listing to an audiobook that's 10hrs long and it all of a sudden skips to the beginning. I think it has to do with how the headphone controls are implemented in hardware - shorting out the channels together or to ground - I lost my original headphones - and haven't wired up a pair to test. I think that "cheaper" headphone cables have less insulation between the channels which then shorts. I noticed this with a cheaper 1/8" to 1/8" adapter.. vs a sony gold plated one. (the channels were in separate insulation on the sony one). If there was only a way to turn off the headphone controls in the default media player, then it wouldn't happen... maybe i'll just remove it from the phone all together.

This sounds similar to the problem I had, im not sure if it was moisture damage or if the headphone jack is damaged. Do headphones play sound okay? If so its probably doing what mine did where it doesnt detect the headphones being removed and thinks they are still plugged in. My problem sorted itself out, I just happened to be using a aux cable for a car stereo and after unplugging, the speakers magically started outputting again.

Having the same issue, it's the headphone jack. I temp fixed it by constantly plugging my headphones in and out but it comes back after a while

Ive found the headphone jack on a few websites which sell parts for our SP, would replacing the jack solve the issue do you think? The part is small and uses a clip in ribbon cable so I don't think it would be too difficult to do. Before my issue fixed itself, I was considering buying the jack and attempting to replace it, I just wasn't sure if that would actually fix the issue.

Sound bug! anyone have it?!

So, i have run this issue since the day i have the phone, but lately is gettin annoying, when i listen to music trough earphones (wired ones, i dont have tested bluetooth but i think it will be the same) and open a game and have silent all game sounds and music, or facebook in web browser and autoplay came in videos that the sound of my earphones get low, like 20% to 30% lower than the max of the phone can output.
Like, open music, playing at max volume, open a game with all sounds silent and boom, music volume gets a cut about 20 to 30% and the graphic say it was at max. And when exit the game, volume still have a cut, i need to fully close the app in recent apps open and then the full volume is restored.
how to fix this?! i think isnt a music app setting, cause i use the default Mi Music app and dont see setting to fix this, even isnt a game option cause i run all my games in silent.
are any other setting in system setting to fix this?!
im on latest v10.2.30 and rooted with magisk.

game booster is disabled on my device, and deleted too from the root system folder so, it isnt the problem here.

Try listening to music on any app at Max volume. Does it happen too ? I have a similar problem but it happens all the time. I just have to raise volume past 75% or so and it starts to click. Sometimes i get audio just in the left earpiece and sometimes it just cuts the audio to like .. 5% of its maximum ( even though it's at Max) .. i was thinking it can be an ohm limit with the stock USB c to Jack as via Bluetooth there's no audio problems at all

Your problem is most likely damage done to the wires through which data travels to the earpiece, damage that occurs near the 3.5mm jack or maybe your adapter got twisted too much though I'm pretty sure it's the earphones' cable that's been bent too much, happens with pretty much every earphones no matter how gentle you are. You can check by gently twisting the part of the cable that's close to the jack and see if sound comes and goes in the right channel. It's very hard to fix unless the damage is close to the 3.5mm jack(where it bends the most), then you have to cut the jack and the cable up to the part that's disrupted including it, buy a new jack that's similar to the one you just cut(that has microphone contact and buttons contact for example) and attach the wires properly and glue/tape the damn thing. Not that easy to do either and requires a person with a bit of electrical know-how.

I own a pretty much "new " Mee audio m6pro 2nd gen. and there's no problem at all with them. Just when I'm using them on my also new mi9 . And if i twist the USB c Dongle to check if there's some cutted wires there's no problem, but as soon as i reach high volumes the audio starts to click, fade or simply clicks and just the right or left earpiece keeps sounding with a very clicky sound and distorted. Maybe the bundled Dongle came faulty. Worth to mention that I've used the same earphones at a very much high volume with a creative soundblaster soundcard on my pc and there's no click nor distort.

Not really the problem cause i have done the test with 2 adapters and 3 pairs of headphones/earphones and all new and well conserved nothing twisted or broken and even that way i get the sound cut ONLY when open a game and are listening to music, the problem is fixed ONLY when exit the game and close it on recent apps, the volume are restored when doing that, everytime.
So, i think is a Miui issue, maybe sound priority or something like that, but even...i have silented the sounds on game, this shouldnt occur, but it does.

Well my reply was to Vichergsen because what he described is pretty much what happens when a channel's wire gets disrupted, at least if I understand what he said correctly. I didn't mean to address your issue because yours is definitely a software issue so besides waiting for a fix there's not much I can advise. I also seem to encounter a strange issue when I listen to music, say I set the volume to a level, and if I use certain apps for some reason the sound gets louder than it was before using them, almost louder by +2 I think even though the volume level remains unchanged.(miui 10.2.30)

Guess it's worth to mention. My bug was caused by dsam mod ( stereo for speakers) .. never thought of it cuz i was pretty sure it was only directioning audio to the earpiece and not increasing headphones gain lol... Although after disabling that module i no longer have the " Hi-Fi sound" on sound settings welp, i guess I'll stick with tidal's master quality and flat audio. That should be enough for a Smartphone
