Hello everyone.
I got my Note a few days ago and I noticed an annoying bug with sound on all possible players.
So let's say I play a movie. When nobody is speaking (yes, in the movie) and it's all silent, the audio suddenly like turns off (I mean no buzzing or anything)
And it's until the sounds in movie start again (usually the silence doesn't last longer than 1-2 sec). It's not like I'm losing any audio of the film, but it's just annoying to feel the switch. I can feel the bug a few times every minute.
This goes to videos, Youtube, and even music.
Anybody experienced similar problem?
Thanks for any suggestions!
never noticed anything like this..

Hi!
I have an really annoying audio issue, I hope there's a solution.
Background:
Being an insomniac I use my phone w. in-ear-plugs (Bose IE2) to listen to audiobooks and watching videos until I fall asleep.
I bought the Note for the big screen and the awesome hardware audio/video support, and just for trying something new, (I've been using iPhones since it's first release but felt like upgrading from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 4s wasn't worth it) so the Note is my first Android phone.
The Problem:
When playing audiobooks, videos and music at low volumes it's like the phone ”auto-mutes” when the source audio have low volume or total silence. Then there's a click or a static and a very short delay when the audio returns. It's really annoying when listening to i.e. audiobook where it's much silence, like between sentences and sometimes words.
It doesn't appear when listening to more moderate volumes, just in the bottom 20% of the volume slider.
I've tried a bunch of different players... it's all the same. Doesn’t matter if its a local file or LAN.
Gingerbread 2.3.6 XBKK4, not rooted or anything.
Anyone know of a cure for my phone, or a good sleep-therapist....
I got my One today and went to show my wife the awesome sound, put on a youtube video and it crackles. Sound all the way up, beats on, crackles and pops. Very noticeable. Play a song not on you tube and the crackles are still there but softer. Anyone else have this problem? Hardware problem? Do I send it back?

There was a very minor crackle on max volume on the unit I tested but only when parts were playing with extremely deep bass. If this is happening all the time it could be a bad connection and I was ask for an exchange. This should go without saying but you were playing a 1080p clip on youtube for the best audio quality?

Thanks, I called sprint this morning and they are sending a new phone, pretty painless process. I got to pick black as it is in stock now instead of silver.
I had unlocked it already so I will have to lock it and hope they dont say anything.

Glad I sent it back and got a new one. Night and day difference with the speakers. I also got black instead of the silver. I like the black a ton better as well.
nice that sprint sent a replacement without hassle.
did your crackle happen with beats audio off? i've been reading the crackle is software related? if not, i'd like to exchange mine as well.
Im having the same issue with my One. But it is only on the YouTube App.

Mine did it with beats off and on. It is most noticeable on the youtube app, or going to you tube through a browser. But if you listen close enough and play a song that is on your phone youll hear the crackle also. Sprint accepted it back with no hassle. I am so glad I returned it cause that would have bothered me for the life of the phone. Just call sprint and exchange it.
This only happens to me occasionally while using the YouTube app. The crackles are usually few and far apart and typically stop if you leave the screen alone and just let it play. My theory is that it's due to some kind of issue with the streaming or compression. To test this, I downloaded a 1080p .mov movie trailer to my phone and played it using MX Player. Watching the exact same trailer on YouTube, I heard the occasional crackle, but didn't hear a thing while playing the .mov file.
I noticed occasional crackle while using the you tube app. Seems to occur more while tapping the screen to bring up on screen controls during a video. Downloaded media doesn't seem to be an issue. Prob just a software issue hopefully it's fixed with an update.
Are you guys getting this problem with Pandora or mp3s played in the music player? Is it a crackle or more a stuttering/crackle?
Just a note guys, it's unlikely that it's a broken speaker, because if it was, you'd KNOW. It'd crackle a LOT, loudly, and you'd have a hard time even understanding voice.
It's probably a software issue with the amplification being just a touch too high.

beats sound effects do not work well on low quality sound, turning it off will get rid of the hissing/crackling sound.
I also hear crackling noices but only within the YouTube app,Pandora sounds perfect...I haven't tried playing music from the memory since I don't have any at the moment. Anyone wonder what it could be?
Edit....I've noticed that if I turn off hd ,the cracking goes away immediately... Maybe it has to do with buffering while in hd?
Bump...any updates on this?

I've never faced such issue. After googling a little bit I found that it might be a software bug. some people are also facing sound drop/fading in some cases. Have a look at This Thread
Audio issue - please help
I just bought the note 5 from tmobile 4 days ago. It's an amazing phone, however I am having an issue with the audio. I'm not sure if it's something internal or if my earphones are broken. Basically when I play music through my earphones, the song plays normally. But at random moments I can hear random noises. The noises come in at random moments in the song.
I noticed this pretty soon, but didn't make much of it at first. Now, on my bus ride to school it's finally gotten to a point where I can't take it. The music gets warped for like a millisecond, but that happening multiple times in a song just got a bit too much.
I have not checked if this happens when using the speakers or using another pair of earphones. I'm using the pair that came in the box. As I said I'm on the bus, so I can't blast music through my speakers. However I was playing music yesterday through speakers in my room and now that I think about it I didn't notice any warping. When I get to school I'll borrow someone's earphones to see if my pair is just broken.
But yeah are any of you having this problem? It's a big deal cause I listen to music a lot through my earphones.
Love your thread, man. This happened to me too but I wasn't 100% sure and I couldn't reproduce it. Now I know it's a problem. I just hope it's on everyone's Note5 too because then it would be a software problem that'll disappear soon. Otherwise we may have to go for exchanges. What ROM are you on? I'm 100% stock N920CXXU1AOH2.

Really hoping this is a software issue..
I just registered to say I'm having the same exact issue when listening to music through the headphone jack no matter if I use headphones or the Aux input in my car. I hope this is a software issue and gets fixed soon.
I haven't seen this issue yet but I havent been listening to much music lately anyway. Will check it and get back. I am more concerned about the S-Pen sensitivity issue. Also started a thread for it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/samsung-galaxy-note-5-s-pen-sensitivity-t3205683
It was happening to me on stock not rooted with Bluetooth and pandora. It was only happening with WiFi on but I haven't noticed it since I'm rooted on custom kernel and rom
I think it happens only on certain frequencies because when I listen to podcasts I never have the issue.
Yes I'm having the same problem when playing music through the auxiliary port or the phone's speaker it's self. Randomly sounds like someone has the hiccups in the background. Have you found a fix?

From what I've come across, it seems like an issue with VBR MP3 files. I was able to fix it using Poweramp as my music player, as it uses a different audio processor than the stock Samsung one.
Also, the update released a few weeks ago also seems to have fixed the issue.
I had the same issue in the older firmware of my Note 5 920I. The latest update OJD fixes the problem. Not facing anymore glitches now. It's definitely a software bug and has been solved by Samsung. Please update your device normally. No root required.
Use Don't Pause
There's an app called don't pause. What it does is when youre listening to streaming music that when you get a notification that you wont get the gap in space (pause) in the music. The paid version removes ads. Ive been using it since the KitKat days with my Note 3 and it works well.
Radio
can I add radio app to not 5 ?
I face audio prob too. Note5 no root, stock 5.1.1.
When I feed digital signal to ext. dac, if use Scale up 385khz then pop and click happen (i use Neutronmp).
When scale up 88khz this phenomenon reduce and when no scale up used, sound is smooth.
Also hf player upscale to 192khz is ok.
Note2 and Lenovo A7-30 and S4 is okay when do the same thing with same neutronmp version.
No solution till now
Depending on if the issue is with your actual audio or if its coming from the music player will be two different things. I always recommend doing a quick restart on your phone or trying to leave it off for a little bit if its having any issues. Usually this will work if there is an overheating issue. You should also try doing an update which can fix problems in the software. If its with your actual music player then these are some of the best music players for the galaxy note 5 hands down https://fliptroniks.com/best-music-app-for-galaxy-note-5/
Having the same issue on Note 5 which I bought on 7/21/2017

Hey Guys,
I am also experiencing the same issue when listening to music via the headphone jack. Something that I noticed was, when the screen is switched on, it works perfectly. As the screen is switched off, the music gets warped and scratched.
Anyone found a solution for this problem?
Suddenly audio is randomly going in and out. I noticed it mostly on Spotify but does it on youtube too. It'll happen in spurts... Gets all quiet for a second like 6x in a row. Then sometimes it'll just pause itself. Does it from the phone speaker and also blue tooth. Any ideas? It's very annoying.
Wow thanks for the help guys
People are NOT just sitting here waiting to answer your questions.
Patience. I have not seen anyone else report an issue like that.

What a bad stuff bro... I had something weird but just with beeps of incoming messages of WhatsApp... try with factory or test with a option on Samsung members ...
Of nothing happens could be a problem of hardware
Good luck

I once had a problem like that and it was the sweat getting inside my headphones that would short circuit them and make the app skip as I jogged. It was weird because it would take about 1/2 hour jogging to show up and then after an hour or so when it dried up or would work again. If I wasn't exercising it would not happen. It drive me crazy for months thinking something was wrong with the phone. Finally, bought headphones that were sweat proof and no more problem. Perhaps this is your problem.
