[Q] Audio streaming problem with cm7 - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wondered why CM7 does not allow the data stream, when the screen is off? With stock rom I could listen TuneIn- radio when screen is closed but CM7 stops stream as soon as the screen goes off. I do not use any battery or memory management programs. just pure CM7.

Answer to myself. The problem wasn't in CM7. The problem was Smartass governor. When smartass is on Tunein-radio stops streming when screen turns off. Spotify stream doesn't stop completely but it stutter a lot. Conservative works fine.

Why 2.3.2 Music Player messed up

I have tried both roms and whenever i listen to music, after the 1st song the music starts skipping/ chopping bad and freezes the phone.
Have you tried keeping the screen on while listening to music? If it only gets choppy when the screen is off, your cpu frequency may be too low.
also, you could change your cpu governor to ondemand, seems to work for some
Does it get choppy with other players, like Meridian?

[Q] Headphones shut off on screen timeout

Is there a way to keep headphone slot alive at all times? :\ I can't listen to music or do anything when the screen turns off.... 5-10 seconds later the headphones stop working...... can't use pandora, can't use Skype, can't use any application that uses sound unless the screen is on... wouldn't it be absurd to hold a screen wakelock just to be able to listen to music or use Skype, while the phone is in my pocket?
Running any roms???
kernels??
Any apps or task killers that may disable music once screen turn off??
details details details
with out details you wont get a straight answer
as for keeping the screen on.
have you checked you settings for a "stay awake" option?

ROM = Cyanogen 7.1.0
Kernel = Glitch v13.1
No task killers, no apps (that I know of) that should interfere with music/applications once screen goes off.
There is a "stay awake" option, but only if the phone is charging, need a more permanent fix.

Have you tried switching kernels or roms
to see if the problem persist??
try that the youll have your answer..
if not well it could be hardware issue..
give rom/kernel switching a try and see how it works
I have the same problem with my S3. Totally stock though. I'll be listening to music through the phone in my car (connected with the headphone jack) and as soon as the screen turns off, the music stops going through the jack. I'm running the 2x battery saver, no task killers, I'm usually listening to music through the stock music player.
BTW, sorry for bumping a year old thread, but I haven't found an answer for this yet.

If you own a S3, this should be posted in the S3 forum.
As for your problem, it could be from your battery saver app. Which probably closes everything while your screen is off. Unistall it and see if that helps.

[Q] Audio playback clips

I am running vibranturk's port of ics 4.0.3 AOKP Build 23, and am having issues with paying music. First, the fact that the music apk fc's every time is a non issue as I am using winamp. Where the issue is is playing with the screen locked makes the music clip after about 30 seconds. I have disabled any dsp manager effects and it still does it. I have had success with turning off winamp's equalizer, but would really rather not (so sue me, I like good audio). For the moment I will live with the flat music, but would LOVE a solution to this which let's me use the equalizer.
My 2 cents: it seems like it is a memory issue as the clipping gets progressively worse and the bpm goes down as time goes on. This does not happen when the screen is on, making me think that the system is putting winamp on a lower priority memory class and is having its memory dumped sooner.

I believe you're on the right track. If I remember correctly, a lot (if not all) of the ICS roms drop the phone's processor to a low speed when the screen is off.
You may want to give the Icy Glitch kernel a spin - I use that one, and music playback hasn't been an issue when I've had the screen off.
Thanks for the tip! I was thinking of trying the icy glitch anyways, now it seems I have a good reason to .
I'll report back on my results.
WOO!
It worked!
Thanks!

Music skips in ICS

I saw similar threads like 2 years ago, but none of the solutions helped me so I decided to create new one.
Here is my situation.
When I play music (flac, mp3, ogg, whatever...) every some time (3,4,5 minutes) music stops for a fraction of a second.
Maybe it's nothing but it's irritating.
I eventually found what is responsible. Its GPS receiver. When I turn it off, everything is ok. I could live with that, but... I often listen to music, and use GPS at the same time so it would be nice to get it working together. Is there any chance to fight this issue?
my environment:
ROM: slimICS
Kernel: Devil (but also tried semaphore and mnics and that changed nothing).
Player: PoerAmp + VoodooSound (but also tried stock player, with and without voodoo and problem persists).
I also tried different governors: smartass, ondemand, conservative.
I tried to set Min CPU freq to 200 MHz. Still nothing.
Only solution is to turn off GPS.
What do you think?

GPS receiver by itself is an odd cause for music skipping. I think the problem is with a background app you are using (which probably relies on the GPS). I too use my phone on CM9 for music with poweramp, but rarely hear music stopping or skipping.
I've had this problem with CodenameAndroid
I'm not sure but it seems to only happen when my screen is off
possibly when the phone is trying to deep sleep
in my case it also happens when the screen is on, and I do not use deep idle.
I'll investigate it in detail. Will do new installation, so I will try to restore apps one by one. It can take a little time.
APP - power amp, has a setting to increase the Audio buffer size (settings>audio engine>audio buffer size). Change from Auto to Large(+250ms).. this fixed the problem for me.
Other music apps may have this option
dlockhart, I use poweramp, and changing buffer size didn't help.
I will investigate further. Clear rom, so far even with gps on everything is ok.
It's a longshot, but is this only when you have a jack plugged, or also when playing from the phone speaker? A faulty jack or it not being properly plugged has actually caused something similar for me.

anything new in here? just have the same problem, but different phone. should be an software issue.
Poweramp worked!

Yeah this worked for me too on Desire Z (I know, wrong forum but having identical issues on ICS). You can also disable the media controls on the headset that seem to mess it up too! No more skipping, thanks for the tip!
i'm having this problem right now
I had it to. Try jellybean. Because of vsync (project butter) the cpu and gpu animate the screen instead of just cpu, cpu now has more time to handle everything else. My music has yet to skip on jellybean. Working really good.
Is this Error in jelly bean as well ?

Sound ahead of video

Has any one else noticed an issue where the sound will be ahead of any video by about half a second? The problem becomes worse when using bluetooth audio. Normally with bluetooth audio the sound lags behind video, but on this phone, with or without bluetooth audio, the sound is always ahead of video.
I notice this most with pocket cast.

Sounds like you have PowerSave on.
Here is why I say this... I can watch videos with no lag. However I don't know about Bluetooth lagging, bc i dont use BT. I know the videos are not lagging, because I read lips everyday since my hearing is quite dull. I can hear the voice and see the word at the same time. Likely, what is happening, is that your internet connection (LTE,WiFi, or 3G if you have good 3G), is downloading and buffering the audio which gets processed via the network interface (no task offloading to the CPU on phones). Now, your video is being processed via the GPU/CPU. So either your voltages are too low, or your frequencies are too low, or you have powersave on which limits you to 1.1Ghz. Perhaps even too much cached data. Flash a new ROM, and then flash ElementalX kernel with 450Mhz GPU, and use 'run hot' as your thermal steps (youll see these options during your flash so dont worry if you dont know what im talking about).
Yes, i have noticed Netflix video sync issues when power save is enabled. It works fine when disabled...
