Stuttering sound when playing music via bluetooth through Sony BM10 receiver - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok this is annoying me... After the last two updates to 4.3 (both 1st and 2nd update) when playing music on my marantz amplifier via bluetooth through the Sony BM10, after a while the sound start to stutter... Annoying... Very disappointed!!!!!!
No problem before update to 4.3

Same problem here with my in-car Kenwood KDC-U553BT. The sound will play for ten or twenty seconds then cut out for another ten or so. Reconnecting doesn't fix it. Some random Xperia Z1 bluetooth connection APK didn't fix it. Only one of the times I've ever used it did it not cut out all the time.
Would love a fix for this. I hate not having my music in the car during my one hour of driving per day.

I noted this with my audio home system. Stutter stopped when i turned wi-fi off. Yes i'm dissapointed too xD

I'll give this a shot. Cheers man.

I had that issue with MW1 too, it stuttering for few second then no problem at all. I think is just the first time when you connecting it.

I'm getting this with a UE boombox, Henson bth033n headphones, and a Sony headphone adaptor. Very annoying. The Henson headphones are excellent but barely useable.
When the stuttering starts I get the throw notification. Mostly pausing the music and restarting will fix it for a bit. This is on 4.3 uk unbranded, latest available.
Super disappointing, really

I can confirm this bug although my phone is a Z1 compact.
To me it seems that switching of WiFi and 3G data helps to reduce the stuttering but does not fix it. My guess is that there is a priority or interrupt problem in the Software.
Btw: In Sony's forum, a similar discussion is open. As it seems, the OP is by the same person However, a Sony guy in there said that he forwarded the problem to the developers.

Yes, that's me on Sony's forum
Actually it's now getting even worst: when playing via BT thru the Sony BM10, if I receive a notification the music stops: the player is still in play but the music stops

It (appears) fixed for me on 757
At least with my Henson headphones, it's not stuttered once since upgrading to 757 this morning (so about 2 hours play). It certainly would have done so before.
Still going to wait and see before declaring it fixed for sure.

Ah, it still stutters a bit with the Henson BTH033N
But it's just a teeny-tiny glitch once in a while, and it doesn't descend into the stutter-fest that it did before.
It's a recent flash to 757 as well, and I'm not convinced yet that it's not just happening when the phone is busy. I think there might be still quite a bit of 'work' going on inside the phone post upgrade.
I expect bt audio to stutter a bit if I make the phone do lots of other stuff
Regardless, seems improved for now.

And.. Just had a major stutter fest, coupled with 'throw' notifications.
It's still not as prevalent. But certainly not gone. Darn it.
I'm beginning to wonder if I've only encountered it on Apt-X devices. Could this be?

hello.. hope this will fix it

[Q] Sound gaps while BT streaming to car audio.

Hi, I Have strange problem with my brand new Xperia Z3 Compact. I streams my music from Z3C to my Pioneer MVH-X360BT car audio. Every few minutes there is a gap in stream that lasts for maybe half a second. That's very annoying! Music is still playing during this gap but I can't hear it. I had similar problem with Xperia Z1 but I thought it was some problem in old Android and some bug in BT driver. Then I've had iPhone 5s and it worked like a charm! No gaps, no problems with BT. Now I've returned to Android and I'm starting to regret this :/
I've checked everything I could. I've turned on BT visibility, turned off Wi-Fi, checked if no notifications couse this. I've even flash clean stock firmware (originally phone came with branded firmware). Nothing. I've tested many players (Walkman, Power Amp, Player Pro, Double Twist etc). Nothing. I though that maybe problem is in my SD card (I store my music on external card), but: 1) it's very fast card 2) copying music to internal storage didn't change anything. Sound still has gaps. I don't now what to do I'm sure that my car audio is ok (iPhone works), today I've tested SGS5 with it and it worked well too. Problem is only with Xperia family (reminder: same problem on Xperia Z and Xperia Z3 Compact).
Any clues? I hate changing my phone again and I love battery life on Z3C (main reason I left iPhone).
Please help!

I have BT headphones and I am not experiencing those issues at all. Could it be that your phone goes into some kind of sleep mode and then wakes up again? Try with some app that keeps your phone constanly awake/screen on. Does the issue persist? Can you try out any other BT audio devices and report if the same problem exists?

Huh, I've turned off the 'Queue data in background' (I have polish locale and I don't know how this option is in english so I translated it literally) option in power management settings. Nothing has changed Also nothing has changed while I was driving car with Google Maps navigation (or Waze) turned on. Still gaps were present.
Unfortunately I don't have any other device that I could test my phone with Only other phones (and all phones works great).
I think I have to change Z3C to another phone, maybe SGS5 (but I don't like Samsung...)
Ehh, tough one

Hi there, I'm facing the EXACT same problem with a few minor differences in the setup:
I'm connected via cable to a philips CEM210. This so called "gap" usually happens when I skip a track(or when the next track comes on automatically).
I have recently purchased the kinivo btc455 and will let you know tomorrow if the issue persists on the BT device.
I actually think 2mal might be on to something here I use stamina mode regularly and I have rooted my device and change tracks via the volume keys.
So the issue might be the phone wakes up periodically (skip track? check notification queue?)

I have all power safe options turned off. Notification queue is empty. I have this problem only via BT. When listening with phone connected to radio by USB, everything is ok.

Try this app while you listen to music over BT : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive
Still gaps?
Also I have Viper4android installed, dont think this would make a difference since it also worked before but its worth a try.
Get the apk from here and follow the instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
I assume your device is rooted as it only works on such.
Speaking of weird bluetooth bugs, my music has been playing in fast-forward occasionally (cm12). I have no idea why this happens or how to fix it, so if anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.

Stay Alive didn't help. There are still gaps once for a audio track.
My device isn't rooted so Viper is not an option :/

Hmm , last idea , try turning the timeout for visibility option in the bluetooth menu (in the right corner on the bottom when bt is turned on) to no timeout.

Jeah too bad i could not help, what you could try is go to a store and ask them whether you could try out some BT headphones, with the pretext of buying them ofc . If the issue is still present then it may be hardware related and an exchange unit could work just fine. Otherwise it points to some incompatibility issue that could maybe fixed somehow but not by me and my current expertise . Especially since i am not experiencing the same. Wish you the best and good luck !
I use a Bluetooth headset (mw600). Started with a nokia n900 and it had frequent gaps, probably due to wifi/interference. With the Z3C started with no gaps but now get few most likely when it leaves any wifi connection (hotspots).
Since you have tried all options on the phone side, it seems to be an issue with the particular car stereo. How about you reset the stereo by removing all power sources to it then pair the phone as a fresh new device and check if issue continues?
I have a similar issue. It seems like a head unit problem for me. Many problems there are with Pioneerer Head Units. Please don't buy this brand...
Have same problem with my Z3 and pioneer car sound.... No issues when i used samsung devices... Now i have a Z3 and the sound fails all the time....
I have 2 headsets bluetooth and i dont have any trouble....
The problem is between sony devices and pioneer!!!
Help!!!
This is not just between Sony and Pioneer. I have a Cardo Scala G9 BT headset for motorcycles, and never had a problem with my Nokia 808 for music streaming, nor my Nokia X2 DS (strictly used for GPS, no SIM).
Now that I bought my Z3C, I have this random gaps of silence while streaming music. Extremely annoying. Even after rebooting the phone, no resolution. Thought maybe there are some bugs with 5.1.1, so I went ahead and updated the firmware on my G9 from 1.6 to 2.1. Still same issue.
Another issue I found with the Z3C: When music streaming is playing, and I get a text message or a new email, the music volume lowers, but no notification sound comes through, before the music volume resumes. On my other phones, when I get a text message, the music volume goes down, and I hear the audio for new text, email, or whatever.
It is extremely annoying. Anybody know how to resolve first and second problem I listed?
Not a Sony issue. Had this with an lg g3 on a kenwood car stereo and the same with the z3c. Seems to be an android issue, as it didn't happen with ios. I am not 100% sure, but I think it only started with lollipop, because I had an htc one m7 before the lg and I don't remember ever having this before...
Yeah, I am inclined to agree with you.
With my Acura, the music has zero gaps. But when I am on a hands free call, I get the gaps! So it must be something buggy with how Android handles one of the BT channels. It is extremely annoying. And on the hands free calls, when the gap happens, my telephony audio goes to the phone. And when I try to switch it to BT mode, nothing, until the gap ends. Then I can switch back to BT mode. This is extremely frustrating.
Bump. I've been having this problem for months. I had it in KitKat too and it happens with any Bluetooth device. It always happens in specific parts in my route (place I go to often), even though I may have never connected to WiFi there or WiFi is off. Could it have something to do with GPS activity?
Any solution for this strange problem?
xperts help please!!!

Hello everyone!
I also have exact same problem with my Z3C and... Sony's MEX-N5100BT, there's a couple miliseconds gap while the music is playing. The best part is that while I'm talking through the radio's built-in BT Phone, the audio never has this gap... or I haven't heard that since I'm using this radio.
But you know what? This happens so rarely that I just ignored it and got used to it and I recommend you to do the same

Lollipop broke the Audio?

Updated to Lollipop yesterday. Of course I'm using Sony's official update and not CM12. So yeah I didn't bother to.watch any videos or listen to music because I updated my phone very late at night. But today, I realised the Audio seems broken. How is it broken? Well, I play a YouTube video at max volume. Seems fine but a little soft for being at max. As soon as I drag it down just a bit, it's like impossible to hear anything. When it reaches half volume, it feels like the minumum volume and the minimum volume feels like it's muted. Anyone have the same problem?
Tl;dr: Can't hear jack **** on near max volume

Umm, nope, I can notice cause I consume a lot of media on my phone.
Weird thing is, bluetooth is weird. I use it in my car, and in KK, when I made a call, it'd change to the phone audio on its own. Now it stays on bluetooth audio until the call connects and then switches to the phone audio mode. This was the case even with AOSP 5.0 ROMs :/ it's weirdly inconvenient cause if I'm using the aux, I won't know if the call is about to be connected, cause I can't hear the ringtone on the call :|
I'm using locked rooted Kitkat,
updated via Sony PC Companion without wiping anything
after the updating to lollipop, it charges so slow, even when it's turned off
I used all the chargers here.
I'm planning to go back to kitkat without losing any app data.
I have no recovery and not rooted in lollipop. What can I do?
sound is definitely broken, because xloud is missing, clearaudio+ isnt working neither.

Galaxy Note 5- Audio Glitches When Listening To Music

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/

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?

Bluetooth Quality & Range

Hello,
I am new to this community so please don't be to harsh on me if somebody allready asked this question (Didn't find anything using the search though).
I own a 2015 P8 lite, using the Basic 608 Rom right now, but had the same issue with all other custom and stock roms that I've tried.
I am using my phone as a music player while jogging or exercising and i have some connectivity/bandwidth issues.
I keep losing the data connection to my headphones while listening tu some MP3. It seems that the BT connection between the devices is still online,
but no data is going through. This seems to be related to the distance between phone and headset,
but the direction the P8 lite faces and the angle seem to matter as well.
That wouldnt be much of an issue, if this would not happen at close range, (I'd even say closest range).
For example, i hold my phone in my right hand and the music would stop playing every time my arm swings back ,
where the distance is less than a yard... Quite annoying...
So here is the question...
Does anybody else have this or a similar problem? How did you solve this?
Or am I probably just facing the fact that my devices Bluetooth is broken?
is maybe even my music player (WinAmp) the reason for this?
(can't be the headset, because it happend with other sets as well while the set work perfectly on other devices)
This is one of the most used functions on my device, I'd appreciate some help here...

Bluetooth isn't made for motion transmitting, that's why almost everyone just put down their phones and send files via Bluetooth. As you may know, Bluetooth is an old thing, and it has alot of disadvantages. Try using another music player, like poweramp, or install viper4android. You didn't said whenever your Bluetooth speaker is a box with speaker or eardrums. The devices Bluetooth capabilities is the same as Galaxy S6 etc use, so that's not a problem. Maybe your speaker receiver is bad, or you bought something cheap with improvised Bluetooth. For now, just change the music player, try the sound whitout moving and than give us another feedback. Little to no chances that p8 lite is the fault here.
I did a little testing yesterday. I used 4 different music players, they all showed the same behaviour, so I guess it is not connected to them. All had these "dropouts" like the bandwith is minimized. I found out that this is not a motion issue but connected to position ans maybe angle. sometimes all I have to do is turn my head a little an the music would stop. It comes back when I move my head back to old position. if I weren't at very close range to the phone it say it is a distance thing, but it seems more like some kind of shielding... I guess i have to lend my wifeys phone and try whats going on then.. Oh, and I am speaking of In-Ear-Headphones

I did a little testing yesterday. I used 4 different music players, they all showed the same behaviour, so I guess it is not connected to them.

Than, the only remaining solution is to try your eardrums with another phone or p8lite with another eardrums. I don't really believe the phone is the problem here.

So i did a little testing with the MotoG3 and the HTC One M7. Both connected to my headset and showed the same behaviour.
Seems like I need a new headset, the issue is not caused by the smartphone(s)
Thanks for your help...

Told you... Before you buy, check with the P8 lite if the new headset is working how it should.
facing the same problem, BUT the headset work as a charm with different android phones!
In my case it was definitely the headset itself, bougth me a new, different one and everything ist fine now.

Music & Calls Playing through Speaker instead of Headphones?

Hi,
I bought a new N7+. But I noticed that whenever I plug my headphones, the music starts playing through the speaker instead of the heaphones. I tried with various headphones that I have. Has this happened to others too? Is there a fix for it? Do you think this is hardware issue or software bug?
Have returned the phone in warranty and awaiting a new one.
Please do let me know.
Same issue. But it happened only after the May update. The issue goes away if you reboot the phone with the headset plugged in.

I'm not sure about Android P, but this is most certainly a software issue. It only started after I applied the May security patch.
Haven't had time to escalate this to Nokia yet, but when I do I'll updated here what they had to say.

Do you think this is happening to many other users too? Because I didn't find any thread related to this so thought it's only me & a faulty piece.
This is quite a serious bug if software related and if it's been 3 months already, surprising that no one's talking about it. the 3.5mm jack is one of the most important reasons why I went for this & didn't wait for the MI A2.
I think the only reason this isn't a big deal is because the issue is random. It happens to me once in 2-3 days.
Strangely enough, today it happened while I was connected to my car via Bluetooth. The audio was playing on the phone's speakers. But a re-start fixed it.
Yeah same thing happening to me also is there any solution?

On the 1st day that I got the phone it happened to me 4 times in 24 hours. But I guess it's because I am always on my headphones throughout the day.
I can't keep restarting the phone every single time it happens.
Same goes for bluetooth. I have to lower the volume every time I start the music because sometimes it just does not route the audio to the headset. Had a couple of embarassing moments in the office... Also noticed that if I watch a movie and switch between apps back and forth, when I resume the playback the phone starts to play the audio on both the phone and on the headset for a couple of seconds, also very anoying..
