[Q] Fluctuating Sound Problem?

Hello,
I bought my One on Tuesday and it's been great so far, but today I've noticed that playing it on the top 3 volume levels causes the sound to kind of fluctuate, as in, some parts of the song play louder than other parts.
This is less prevalent with beats audio turned off, however I believe I can still slightly hear it.
It's most noticeable when I plug it into my car's aux port and turn the volume on the phone up to its max.
Has anyone else had this problem? is it a software issue? or will I have to take this phone back?
Thanks

the phone have 2 speaker one in top on in bottom.
2.1 speaker working in phone perhaps the song getting change between to speakers and you think that happened.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, the problem only happens with headphones plugged in

[Q] Sound Cuts off at Low Volume

This problem has been reported on the Samsung Galaxy Note, S II, Droid DNA and others, but I didn't know it was also a problem on the HTC First until I got mine. Whenever my music goes to a low volume with my headphones on, the sound just mutes. It comes back when the music goes louder. If I increase my volume, it cuts off less. At full volume, it does not cut out at all. I have no problems playing through the speakers.
One needs to listen to audio with short silences to be able to notice it. Some say it is related to Beats Audio, with the problem going away if Beats Audio is turned off; I don't think that is a possibility on the HTC First, though.
I use my phone mostly to listen to music and streaming radio, so this is a deal breaker for me. Are any of you experiencing the same problem?

i can not confirm the problem.
i tested my HTC with BOSE and Pioneer headphones and do not have any problems with both.
no matter if i play music loud or very low volume.
will test it tomorrow with my monster beats and let u know.

HTC Support on Sound Cut-Off Issue
For the sake of completeness, I will let you know that I called HTC Support about this sound cut-off issue. The person on the phone was very nice and tried to help me for some 40 minutes.
The bottom line is that he couldn't reproduce the issue in the few songs he played (which didn't surprise me). He made some note for the developers but I don't think anything will come out of it.
In the meantime, I found a good song to test this strange behavior: "brainstew" by Green Day. Plug your headphones to your HTC First and listen to the first 30 seconds at low volume. It you hear distortion as the sound volume changes, please let me know (right now it seems that I'm the only one noticing this).
Thanks!

I'm seeing this as well. Has nobody else seen this?

Weird clicking noise from speaker.

Does anyone notice a very light clicking noise from back speaker when on speaker phone right after hanging up on a call?

Just the NSA, disregard.

Lol,thought it might have something to do with radio/network stuff or like u said nsa..smh

I notice it makes the clicking noise anytime the back speaker gets used at all,there's a light hiss then click,guess kinda like an amp would sound when being turned off.

No one else here it?

Yes, I hear it. This has been audible on every phone i've had in recent memory, you probably just never listened for it before. Anytime sound is routed through the speaker you get the hissing, followed by the click as the amp shuts off 2 or 3 seconds later. Sometimes it's audible through headphones also, depending on the headphones.

Lol yeah only noticed, because when on call using speakerphone it clicks 2 or 3 times and it's just a tad louder then when turning off any other time,other wise probably would never heard it.

I have a N910F and noticed it this morning. I here it, it's like a frying noise, and if you get close enough you here it every time a sound is routed throughout the speaker on or off.
I'm on Lollipop 5.0.1 Baseband version N910FXXU1BOC3.
I don't think it's normal, Samsung is playing around with the audio system, you couldn't turn off sound completely until this ver of lollipop and still even when audio is completely off you can here the speaker fry when something is routed to it.

[Q] Nexus 6 Audio Questions....

I just recently bought a Nexus 6, and not to long after I bought it my phones volume started to get very low. When I was on a phone call and switched to speaker, the phone starts the audio off as low, but then gets higher after a few seconds. Now when I listen to music or watch netflix, the audik starts off high at full volume, but then goes very low as if the phone had a Automatic Leveler. Is there anyone way to fix this ?

you are on stock? i didnt experience it on stock, but did on aosp. on aosp its a bug, that was fixed by a few developers.

Im pretty shocked by the nexus 6 speakers.
1. Speaker phone only works on the top speaker.
2. Anything from the lowest volume till about 2/3rds is nicley scaled then it just jumps in loudness in the last 3 to 4 clicks.
3. The stock sound is shocking bad ! Sounds like they forgot to balance bass and treble.
4. My headphone jace only seems to work with some jacks, an aux lead refuses to work in all 3 of my work vans and my old HTC headsets but works with iphone headsets and some of my aony headsets ( these all worked in my N5 )
5. Where the freekin' EQ ! Really google cant make a EQ letalone a good camera app !!!!

I am on stock. No root, no unlocked bootloader.

The funny thing is, when in place my hand over the front camera lens, and curved around the front, the volume goes back up as if there was a auto level function. If I take my hand off of that speaker, it goes back down because I am in a quite room. Something's not right with that..

I'm not rooted and I have similar issues. When I get phone calls or texts the volume starts out really low then gets high and I can't stand it. Seems to have just started doing this. Same thing when I'm talking to someone, I get a call, I answer it and I can barely hear them then 1 or 2 seconds later it's fine. Driving me crazy. Would love to get this fixed.

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?
