Jp6 + Voodoo or Jp6 with OCLF has the same symptoms. Makes me think it's JP6 that is causing this.
The default music player occasionally stutters while playing MP3 Files (converted with LAME, V0). It happens a few times a day at least. I don't remember that happening in JM6, JM8 (very sure), or JPM(only tried for a day, not sure).
By stuttering I mean that the music is stuttering, not the UI. I've got over 16GB of songs, so the UI definitely lags if you try to scroll too fast on all firmwares.
The stutter is like the kind you get from CD players in the 90s if you shake them too much. Just for a moment.
Anyone else noticed this?
Count me in bro. The music list also stutters when I scroll down. I have 1.4k songs by the way (still have 5gb free still).
Same here. BT and jack. I've uninstalled one suspect: Days. But it could also be caused by kswapd0. JM5 'jittered' sometimes on the jack, but never on BT. And that sounded different, like it was missing cpu cycles. I'm still monitoring what's going on...
my music has been stuttering since day one. lag fix or not. dug up my old iPod and I'm happy now.
Ive never had music shutter. Maybe you sonegow have defective phone?

Running JP6 without a lag fix. Didn't notice it.
But then again I haven't used it a lot after the update nor have a very large song collection (only about 150~200 songs).
If you mean the music sometimes stutters, then yeah I have that too. I had assumed it was something wrong with the bluetooth connection (I use bluetooth headphones) but it might well not be...
Happened for me in all firmwares, solution was to use a different music player.
Might I suggest http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.tbig.playerpro/ ?
If this is flac, then it's a known problem since forever. I had hoped that they fixed it in 2.2, but maybe they just made it worse Is this a regression those with the problem?

If for any reason kswapd0 kicks in this means the phone is running low on free memory and starts swapping. kswapd0 is rarely ever (never?) the direct cause, it's just trying to manage the memory. Or lack thereof
hi guys. I also have this problem. I've tried ALL firmware jm8, jm9 and so on. I also tried froyo 2.2 official via kies, and it do the same stuttering problem, but much less. I don' know how to solve this problem, infact i also tried all of media player. Help me guys
Use to have this issue with my flac files, but since JPK i've had 0 issues. I'm on JP6.
I'll confirm this today

Interesting! Another reason to upgrade to 2.2
Just need a stable voodoo first
Personally. I have tested for 2 or 3 days the official 2.2. froyo. This problem ALWAYS HAPPEN, but seems much, MUCH LESS, but SOMETIMES HAPPENS.
So i start to think that is a real problem this....Someone could help? it could be the oneclick fix laga that i installed?
I think there may be a little misunderstanding in some posts.. By stuttering I mean that the music is stuttering, not the UI. I've got over 16GB of songs, so the UI definitely lags if you try to scroll too fast on all firmwares.
Yea same thing, i mean micro 1/10 sec stutter. Mine are gone though... just tested today although they weren't FLAC files. I'll have to restest with FLAC.
Didn't have any lagfix installed when it stuttered so i don't think it's that
I've noticed this in video playback. Was buttery smooth on 2.1 firmwares, but it now stutters when there is... dunno how to explain it, but it's related to sound. When some music kicks in, or there is a laughter track.
Edit: Currently using JPM, had same problems on JPK too
I'm going to try JPM again.. and hopefully find out tomorrow that it doesn't stutter. =D

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,

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.
Pre FroYo I used to have a major issue where if I had a 3.5mm cable plugged in and it was jiggled slightly the current media or if none was playing, new media opened randomly on the phone, would just start skipping to the next song/track/etc. I've been using the froyo test rom since it was available and I have not had this issue occur even once. Anyone else notice this?
Hope this is fixed for everyone! The bug made using the N1 in my car almost impossible.
Also, you can download a 1 second silent mp3, and create a playlist with only that mp3. Play the playlist and exit the music player.
Then download meridian and use that. If the music player is launched somehow, it will play the 1 sec of silence and exit.

I had that bug in 2.1 and fixed it with the "Scotch tape on the plug" workaround. However, I've started seeing occasional skips again. I was attributing it to wear and tear on the tape, which is beginning to get a bit frayed, until I saw the thread about Pandora skipping now (that's where I see it), so I'm guessing from your report that it's a separate problem. I hope you're right about the fix for the plug jiggling and that an upcoming update to Froyo and/or Pandora will address that skipping, as well.
I had this aswell, but only with the stock music player. I switched to ³(cubed) and it had an option to disable the next, play pause buttons on the stock headset. I didnt use stock headset so i didnt need it. But after that i never had any problems, not even on 2.1.

I never had this problem once using stock for the last 3 months. I use the wired headset multiple times a day. First day on cyanogen and now I have this issue. Stock ROM was perfect.
Also cyanogen is giving me much worse battery life.

Still have the issue with Froyo. Doesn't seem anywhere as bad as it was with 2.1 though. Purely observational test however and in no way conclusive/scientific
So I just got this SGS i9000t and it has froyo 2.2.1
I quickly noticed the audio quality was garbage in comparison to my zune hd and I started a quick search. I found out about this lag fix called voodoo and i buy the app and it improved the audio quality by a lot, and I am now pleased.
My biggest problem right now is that I get random clicks when playing audio, heard more clearly with headphones. The clicks start when the songs start, basically whenever i access anything from the phone's memory. I believe this is the lag thats supposed to be fixed by voodoo control pro, so I'm wondering, am i missing something here? Some help would be hugely appreciated. Im on the verge of getting an mp3 player app but im holding it off until i get this fixed. Thanks in advance.
Are you by any chance using the JPY modem?
You're not using "beautiful widgets" are you? I got those music ruining clicks when I had beautiful widgets and they stopped as soon as I got rid of it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I did had beautiful widgets. Just uninstalled it and am currently testing. So far no clicks!
About the modem, im not sure. I know its not a normal modem since i have flashed a phone for this company and have never been able to find one. So im leaving this SGS stock. If there is a way to find out the actual serial of this with an app or something let me know.
Edit: Been listening for about 10 minutes and no annoying clicks! If theyre not gone they have been greatly reduced. Thanks a Million bob!
Wow surprising! Didn't knew that
When listening to some MP3s I get a weird DJ scratch like noise and sometimes small skips, like fast forward. Its very annoying. It's not the actual mp3s since I tested them on my pc, and nothing happens. It doesnt happen a lot, but when it does, man it throws me off my groove haha. Im on Juwe's Rom 2.3.3, have supercurios app, and the music is on an external SD.
What could cause this? I seem to have no luck with my media experience in my SGS...
I'm guessing an audio buffering issue, I use power amp pro where this can be adjusted, I think voodoo sound probably has same.......use search......me no spoon feed!
Insanity cm 016/glitchv10c
No spoon feeding here, I actually have my audio buffer set to huge on poweramp. I didnt want to add too much detail because peeps wouldnt read. Voodoo sound to my understanding doesnt have it, and I have the pro version. I think its an issue with my card, or card reader. i may put the cd that i know is doing it, and test that out.
If anyone is interested, I fixed the problem. In titanium backup I deleted all of the data of poweramp and it was fixed. Granted I changed of kernel before. Semaphore 1.3.1 But the fix was definitely with the wipe. Probably was leaving buffering at default. Weird bug. Thank god it's gone.

Audio spikes when playing VBR audio files
Heya, first time poster here.
I've noticed that my Note 5 can't properly play audio files with a variable bitrate (So far I've only tested mp3 v0). It's totally random, but anywhere between a second to a few minutes, you can hear these really annoying popping or skipping sounds, like you were playing it off a scratched up CD. Again, I'm only seeing the issue with mp3 v0 files. Any audio files with CBR don't seem to have this issue. I can tell it's definitely some kind of software issue because of that fact, not to mention it happens with both the built-in speaker and through the headphone jack.
I've tried multiple audio files, as well as multiple audio playback apps. I've tried restarting the phone, and even a factory reset. I have a feeling that this won't be alleviated by simply exchanging the phone for a new one, but if I can't find a solution by the time my two weeks are up, I'll probably end up just turning it in anyway.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I've also tested those same audio files on a Galaxy S3 and S5. Neither phones had any apparent issue with playback.
If anyone out there is willing to test it out on their Note 5, I'd really appreciate it.
So I just exchanged my phone for a new one, and I'm still experiencing the same issue. Surely SOMEBODY out there has noticed this problem by now?
You're not alone I'm experiencing the same issue. I'll be testing the same files on my girls phone since she has the same one to see if its a universal issue with the device. Hope there's a solution found soon.

First of all, thanks heaps for your post. I have the same issue.
I noticed the popping this morning and spent the day dreading having to send the phone back. Your post reassures me the problem is not just my unit.
I'll do some more investigation later as to exactly what works and what doesn't. For now, I have an MP3 that reliably 'pops' at the same place every time and a FLAC version of the same song does not pop. I'm assuming a software update will fix ...

Read 1 post above yours. Last line.
Shame that the only workaround seems to be using Poweramp. I download/stream files off Subsonic and prefer to use that player for convenience as it downloads one track ahead of where I'm at, rather than needing to pre-load or download it all and then play to poweramp.
Guessing there's no fix for this yet aside from Poweramp?
I have the Note 5 from Verizon and mine does the same exact thing. I'm so annoyed I'm almost thinking of swapping it for a dreaded iPhone. I don't feel like re-ripping my 500+ cd catalog because my phone can handle VBR. C'mon Samsung... with all the useless features you cram into the phone you can't handle VBR MP3s?
