Am i the only one that's bothered by the weak volume when playing mp3's?
When i'm working out at the gym i can hear the rather soft background music through the music that i'm playing on my phone.
How are your opinions towards this 'problem' and has anyone found a software 'booster' or another solution?
Thanks in advance and great forum by the way!

Well, try pocket music http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm or core player http://www.coreplayer.com/
I am personally using pocket player for the gym everyday along wihth A2DP Stereo Bluetooth headsets and the music is WAAAY too loud comparing with the default media player of the device. Mark that Pocket Music uses an extra bass feature that really ups the whole music sensation.

yes, I use the pocket player and I have to set the sound to 30%, because its really loud and hurting my ears when its set to 100%.
I have core player installed so i'll check that out first before trying the Music Player.
Still i was kinda liking the Music Player that came with the Rom because of it's fast Ipod-like interface.
Checking out the volume as we speak, will post findings.

Checking with the core player, turn eq on. Makes a huge difference in volume when using coreplayer.. In pocket music player the opposite is happening..
I liked a lot the default music player myself first time I booted the device, but when I saw no eq and low volume never run it again..
Core player makes me happy, 100% volume is ear-destroying but 60% is a nice setting.
Many thanks for the tips and advice.
I need high volume as well. I think I tried pocketmusic - maybe an older version and found no difference in volume or EQ.
It's also highly dependent on the type of earphones you use:
if I use the ones that came shipped with the phone I can easilly turn both the phone and HTC Audio player/WMP up to 100 % without it beging really tough on my ears.
with my highly sensetive koss plugs I can only go to 50 % before it really starts hurting my ears

Right.. Just use earphones having 100db or more..
My personal faves are the Sennheiser CX-300. Cheap, super bass and LOUD!!
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....
Hello everyone
Bought my Xperia T on white about two weeks ago. It's a really awesome phone, don't have anything to complain about. Good battery, nice UI, etc.
Updated it in the first day to 4.1.
However, I've got 2 weird audio bugs:
1. No matter what music player I have, music occasionaly skips a few seconds. I tried:
-other music players
-re-inserting my 32GB microSD card back.
Nada, the bug is still there.
Gotta mention something: I don not use any equalizer presets or ClearSound/Bass/Whatever music effect Sony gives me. I find them all rubbish.
2. I occasionally have issues when I pull my headphones out... I am used to Android phones, and I know there are separate volumes (I had a Galaxy Spica and a Moto Defy+) but this one has a really weird behavior. It sometimes doesn't "understand" that the headphones are out. But that can be solved easily, by re-inserting the headphones. Lately, for some reason, it didn't happen too much. I don't know, I have a pair of small in-ear Sennheiser headphones, not Sony ones...
3. How can I properly give album art to my music? Media Go tried something, but didn't do much... should I try via Wi-Fi? I've got about 2055 songs. Should it take a while?
Many, many thanks.
Poweramp->settings->audio->advanced tweaks->audio buffer size / audio thread priority. Have you tried changing those?
Hy, for me when i use my beats by dre headphone in Bluetooth with the maximum sound, the sound is low. I did to make a "begin of call" the sound level Bluetooth go up like in ICS. After a few minutes if i stop the music, the sound is low another time.
Any idee?

Something similar happens to me sometimes where the music will just stop playing only to resume a few seconds later for like no reason (no incoming calls or anything). Sometimes it will stop playing at the Walkman icon in the status bar disappears so I have to go back to Walkman app and start the song over. Not really sure why it does this. Haven't had any issues with 4.2.1 yet though, seemed to be an ICS issue for me at least. I noticed my Xperia ion did the same thing but it was much worse with the ion. My roommate has the ion and just updated to ICS and told me it happens to her still even post update.
For the record I have the AT&T Xperia TL and a 32GB SD card with 95% of my music on the card.

Seems that PowerAmp works really well, however been wondering if there's a free alternative out there.

Hey guys,
Love my new S6, because of memory limitations, I'm using spotify more than the music player. I noticed that when I listen to music, the volume keeps changing by itself (but remains at the same "number" that I set), I believe it's an EQ problem due to the voice/instrument equalizer function that keeps adjusting one VS the other. I was able to downgrade the amazon appstore still has version 2.6.0.813 and it's better (but not perfect yet, I hope they fix this bug in the next spotify update, just wanted to share in case you though you were going crazy (as I did).

Solution
Just found the solution, please close topic

Disabling Nuplayer does not work
solution from the previous post does not work, I and others tested it and spotify volume is still messed up with Nuplayer disabled, downgrading seems to be the only solution as of now, sorry for the confusion

actually, I've noticed this problem with Google Play music as well.. I'm not using the equalizer.. for no apparent reason, at some points in certain songs, the volume will inexplicably lower, never quite recovering.. weird
same here. thought i was going deaf bc i had the volume up to 80%
Is it happening with your stock music player? I disabled Nuplayer and spotify is still misbehaving but the Samsung player works fine. I didn't find a Samsung user forum to report the problem but will look more into it.
old version works
Using S6 Edge, had this problem myself with spotify - can confirm using the previous version of spotify fixes the problem.
Agree there's points where it stoll changes volume ever so slightly but definatley a big improvement.
Can't post link to download due to new user restrictions.
Thanks to OP for posting his findings. Big help.
Peace.
I have been going back and forth with Spotify support for weeks on this issue, and it's been escalated to a Tier 2 person who I've been working with for almost a week now. Specifically, my problem is that the sound on any given song will vary throughout the song...it will start at whatever volume I have it set at, then suddenly get about 25% quieter for about 10-20 seconds, then go back up to original volume. This happens in almost a cyclical fashion my entire time listening to Spotify on my phone...whether it be through headphones, phone speak, or a bluetooth speaker. Spotify support even gave me another test account to try, which this issue also happen in on my phone....and they logged into my account on their end and done extensive listening tests, but are not able to replicate on their end. They had me try everything...clearing cache, trying with volume normalization ON, then trying with it OFF, WiFi only, data only, listening to cached music with no data turned on, re-installing, rebooting, updating, deleting all Spotify files/folders from the file manager, listening with corded headphones, bluetooth headphones, phone speaker, bluetooth speaker, etc. They really feel at this point that it's the Samsung Galaxy S6 that doesnt play nicely with Spotify, but they cannot figure out why. I'm still troubleshooting with them but so far no solution, only a ton of things ruled out as culprits. =(
This is a few days old but do you have sound alive enabled?

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?
