New Note 3, Spotify issues - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a Note 3 until this past weekend and lost it. I got my new Note in the mail and redownloaded all my Spotify songs. However, now when I listen to my music through headphones or auxiliary jack, the songs start out at full, normal volume for a split second and then sound muffled. It's consistent through all my music. A half second of normal sound and then its like a filter is put on and it sounds much worse and lower volume.
I tried messing with the Spotify EQ and with the phone's sound settings, nothing.
Any help?

[Q] headphones bad quality

ok guys i got this problem with some headphones :
when i volume up the music to more than 0db using the voodoo audio booster my headphones just like unplug they dont actually unplug but its the same effect, the music stops and turns on again in 1-2 sec with like -30db. I got this problem with the SGS 2 headphones plugged into my SGS 1.
Did you set some sort of volume limit in the voodoo control app?
First wow dude 0 dB is loud. I have only even approached -10 dB using it as line-out, up near -20 dB on headphones is ear-splitting.
Second the -30 dB is the jack plug-in safety option. You can turn it off in the voodoo control app but it is activating because the headphones are being 'unplugged', which is the real problem.
ok so first my limit is +5db , and i know its loud i had never listened that loud to my last headphones ( the original SGS ones) and i dont know but i think the problem is not that much in the hardware but in the software. When i even get close to 0db the sound gets real crappy, and when i connect it to the laptop and turn them really loud the sound is perfect so the headphones dont have like a limit or something because i have several audio boosts on my laptop too. What i am trying to say that the problem is not in the headphones, and when i try get my music on the phone to more than -5db it sounds like -15db or something like that any ideas ? i think i have 3 options
1) problem in the phone
2) problem in the headphones
3) problem with the voodoo app
ohh and the other day i used these HTC headphones they had a button on the mic and when i listened to the music the sound was crappy and they were unplugging when i got my music to 0db but when i press and hold the button the quality was perfect and they were not unplugging. So again anyone any ideas

[Q] Really annoying audio-issue with A/V playback at low volumes, clicks and delay

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....

[Q] My headphones are scratchy on my One, any way to fix?

Hi,
I've got beautiful Sennheiser Momentum's here and I've got a problem. They make scratchy noises in higher pitches, say slow or silent songs with high voices. This happens with Beats off at the last two volume settings and with Beats On even before that. The same mp3 does not sound scratchy when I play it over my PC with the same headphones plugged in. It's defnitely the phone because the In ears that came with the phone sound equally scratchy at exact the same volumes.
Is there any way to equalize the standard audio settings without having to use another audio player? I am running ARHD 31.6 and tried it with and without PureXAudio, doesn't change anything.
I reset my phone now to make sure the XAudio-stuff isnt flying around, but the problem remains. But I think I found the culprit, the particular song where you can hear it really good simply seems to be too low on volume in the file itself - i can barely endure other songs at that volume, very loud, so I think the song has a low db and the htc just isn't that good when it comes to making songs loud and so it starts to scratch. Is there any way or EQ that can fix that or a normalizer?
I have noticed that my phones speaker was louder and better clarity on first use but after that it went downhill from there. My phone is currently in for repair due to a total speaker failure after the phone got really hot while using a CM 10.2 ROM, do not know if that was the reason but that was the ROM I was using at the time.
Well my best guess is that the built in EQ isn't the best out there and causes screeching in some frequencies. I can't notice anything in most of the songs but there are some which are problematic constantly and they are 320kbps and sound fine on my pc.

Audio Issue?

I was listening to music tonight with wired headphones, all of a sudden the music would get super quiet and then either turn back up or pause. Is this a setting I am missing or what. I googled it briefly but came up with no solution
A silent notification could be your problem
I noticed this as well on my Note 9. Also happened on my S9+. I found that some websites auto-play video, like CNN's site. That causes the phones audio player to either pause or lower in volume. Most annoying.

Static/hissing noise at low volume

Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
