Dear Forumers!
I installed Cyanogen mod 9.1 on my Galaxy Mini, and it works fine except when i play music
Sometimes (once in every minute) stops playing for a second, like it's loading, and the buffer is full.
I set my CPU to 320-748 MHz and smartassv2 governor. Also i deleted the DSP equalizer, but it's not helping.
It's very annoying when i listen to music and it stopping.
Please help, how can i fix this?
You are probably running something else or you have a script that uses the SD card. If that's the case, you SD card might be too slow to handle both.

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,
HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs\Cachesize=16834 (default = 0)

it uses more memory but better performance for music Playing!

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.
I have been using NC for 2 weeks and meet a very strange problem(to me). After a fresh boot-up, everything is fine. However, if I start to watch a h.264 video(.mp4 or youtube) for a while, the playback becomes funky. Particularly, the audio playback is not smooth(choppy). I can hear 3 or 4 glitches in a regular 4 min song. After cleaning the memory by task manager, the problem is still there, even just using the music app. Quite annoying problem to me, since I just feel my NC choppy and unstable. I have no idea whether it is the memory, cpu, or Android 2.1 scheduling problem. The only thing I noticed is after a fresh reboot, everything is fine for about 4 mins. Does anyone have similar issues? Any hints and help to fix the problem would be appreciated.

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!
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 ?

Hi
I had a strange thing happen yesterday, it seemed that video playback went into double speed and also music playback did the same. This happened on Facebook, Poweramp, system notification sounds (I only use the built in ones) and the built in video player. I did not test this on any other apps, everything returned to normal after a reboot.
Has anyone else experienced this.
I had the same thing happen to me and "fixed" it by rebooting. Have no idea what caused it though.
I will add I am on thunderrom 2.1 and sky high 1.2 (when it happened, now on 1.4) so it might have been a bug in the rom or kernel...
Playback at high pitch....
I too have had this problem, I hope a reboot will cure it xxxxx
Actually, having just done that, it now works properly. Thanks for the advice. ..?
