Hello good people,
I hope someone finds time to read this and help me to find a solution.
I was using "throw" function on the default Music player app to play on my Denon AVR since my Z3c was on KitKat, later it upgraded to Lollipop (I think then it became "cast" instead of "throw") and later it upgraded to Marshmallow - all was good, one touch and I had music playing through my audio system. I recently replaced my phone with another Z3c and was happy until tried to cast my music - it plays intermittently (2 seconds of sound followed by 2 seconds of silence and this repeats non stop). I've tried installing 3rd party apps (AirAudio) but the issue remains. Today I had a chance to hold my old Z3c and to my big surprise - it also developed the same intermittent play issue when casting! The only thing which changed on my old Z3c since I owned it was that it was reset to factory default settings.
Any ideas would be very welcome, second day googling and still no music
Thank you!

Hi,
was the version of firmware on your replacement phone the same as your old phone?
The early versions of Marshmallow had a problem with Bluetooth, specifically throw and stuttering audio.
Have you tried to update your phone with PC Companion.
How far are you willing to go to fix your problem?
I am using the latest version of MM from a developer called Wajik that has no Bletooth issues. But obviously you'd need to root your phone and add recovery to get there. I know it sonds complicated, but there are several great guides and lots of friendly folk here to help you if you get stuck.
Edit: There is a music player called Poweramp, that has the ability to change the priority of the player, it also has a buffer that you can change yourself. With both of these features tuened up you might be able to defeat the stuttering without any major regime change. It also comes as a trial as well.

So I have Mango on HD7 running very well nearly all the music is from the Zune subscription service (in fact I think all) - today while listening to music the phone crashed twice and had to remove battery - anyone else had this?
similar issue
I had this problem on mango beta 1 but for me it was fixed in beta 2
I have uninstalled some apps - including sound enhancer which seems to have done the trick - interestingly enough never crashes when plugged into my car only when using headphones - this morning seemed fine.
I have this problem even on Mango RTM, i will try remove the sound enhancer, and yes only with headphones.
Same here, Mango RTM, and sound enhancer installed, my music is not from Zune, I have ripped all my CDs. I was hearing music and the player crashed when going from one song to the other, I was using headphones.
I'm going to uninstall sound enhancer to see if it fixed and will report later.
No issues with beta2 and RTM,with and without headphones and using sound enhancer
Same here sound enhancer removal did the trick..... Weird thing is it was only with 2 songs and with headphone use.....
Has crashed once more when listening to music with headphones after removing sound enhancer - I'm using the supplied HTC headphones not sure if that makes any difference. I have been using Windows for years so I'm use to occasionally doing a hard reset - but I have an otterbox case on the phone so its a pain in the arse to remove that to remove the battery. I'm sure people look at the phone and think "umm a Windows Phone that lookds good" but then they see me f**king around with removing the battery. Once O2 release mango officially I will revert back to NoDo then upgrade and see if that makes any difference - good to know its not just me.
For now it seems my problem was solved removing sound enhancer.
Crashed again twice coming into work today - the first time I clicked on the Next button for the next song and then had to remove the battery - the second when I felt it had crashed as no more songs were playing the phone would allow me to turn off ok. This only happens at the end of a song and start of a new one.
Had thought this was related to DRM as others having seen this also use Zune Pass. But if some of you don't have Zune Pass and still seeing the problem, then it must be something else. For what it's worth, it has been reported on devices other than HTC -- Samsung Focus for example. Other HTC devices reporting include HTC Surround.
Since pre-NoDo up to current pre-released version of Mango 7720, I continue to see the problem -- but only when Zune player is running by itself. If another task is running simultaneously (like the GPS recorder, Marathon, during my 30 minute morning run) then it never happens. Haven't had it happen while connected in my car (wire connection) but have had it happen while wire connected to a Sonos box. And it's always a zune pass song, never any of my MP3's.
So maybe MS's DRM service is causing the problem.
As enthusiastic as I am about WP7, if left unaddressed, this would damage the platform's credibility -- or at least I won't be renewing my Zune Pass when it expires next March.
Cheers
Thinking about all the songs that it crashes on are from Zune Pass.
It happens to me on my regular mp3/wma's. I do have a Zune pass, but I don't think it's ever happened on a Zune pass song. I also tried uninstalling sound enhancer, but that didn't help...

In another thread regarding the same (yep I should link it in but about to go to bed). Someone mentioned about removing the show artist when playing music in Settings>lock + wallpaper - the phone did not crash on the way home?
I tried turning off the artist on lock screen, and it didn't seem to help me. I've noticed though that it seems to only happen with a select few bands/artists. I'm going to remove and then reload the ones I've been able to identify, and I'll report back if it seems to make a difference.

So I removed and reloaded all of music last night, but I'm still getting crashes. In fact, I had a crash on a Zune pass song for the first time. This is really frustrating because I like to listen to music on my headphones at work, and I'm getting crashes every 5-10 songs. This sucks big time, Zune is one of the main reasons I got this phone. Hopefully this issue gets resolved on the mango RTM.

I had to remove my battery today twice. For the 1st time my Hd7 frozen =\ Both times I was using headphones.
The songs are from Zune, but not with DRM anymore (it's in mp3 format since I got the songs with my credits).
I have the artist wallpaper disabled, but have the sound enhancer... will try to remove it.
Sometimes the song stops while streaming through bluetooth, but never freezes!
Anyone tryied the new leaked roms? Checked if this problems persists?
So after flashing to the latest O2 rom I needed to readd all the music not one crash since maybe 4 days of no crashes? so maybe its the ROM but I think it might be remove all songs and then re-add them.
9/16 HTC installed the finished mango rom for Taiwan on my HD7 (hardware v.0002). After reloading apps and syncing music collection, went out for a drive and if froze after the 4th song. Requires removal of battery to restart. This happened previously many times with 7004, NoDo, and the leaked mango.
I concur it seems to have nothing to do with Sound Enhancer or Artist on lock screen. It also seems to have occured on devices other than HD7 (e.g., Samsung Focus)

Has there been any acknowledgement from the MS Zune team about this problem? It kind of ruins the whole experience.
I've found that even with new Mango ROM, if plugged in to A/C, it will play zune pass, shuffle, mp3s and does not crash.
But, if running on battery, it will definitely crash after 10-15 minutes of play. Anyone else see differently?
SOOOOOO SAAAAAAADDDDD - Crashed today. I really really like WP7 - but it does make you look like a tit when you have to take the battery out to restart it.
Hey guys,
4 days ago something strange happened: my kindle fire speakers stopped working suddenly, but i've fixed the problem by reinstalling the vlc media player app (dunno why but it really fixed it).
Now this problem occurs again. So far i've: reinstalled vlc, rebooted my kindle, tried several settings, but nothing worked. Headphones are working fine, it's just the speakers.
What i find strange about this is that the speakers are actually working for 1 second after unplugging the headphones, then stop working even though the speaker sound is also on and on max. That should mean that hardware is okay but software isn’t or that the problem is caused by the settings from the application. It shouldn't be based on app settings, because i tried it with the amazonmp3- as well as the vlc-app.
I can't imagine that i've damaged some important system data, because i did nothing with my kindle besides rooting it, installing the play store and adding some launchers.
Does anyone have an idea what could possibly cause the problem and how to fix it?

Same thing happened to me a while back when I loaded google movies. I fixed it temporarily by restoring my backup of several apps including amazon video and sound apps. However, I killed it again loading talkatone, and I could never fix it by restoring amazon apps. Finally did a factory reset and that fixed it permanently (or until the next non-amazon app kills it).
Never experienced any problems with this. The one problem I have heard about is the Speakers crackling, and then losing sound. Did you have any problems like this?
Problem solved, it's really simple. Some non-amazon apps put the media volume off, which isn't regulated through the normal settings. I downloaded "Quickmute" from the amazon app store and regulated the media volume that way, so that my speakers started working again.
So don't be afraid of installing non-amazon media apps, just make sure to fix sound problems with quickmute or compareable apps.

Thanks for the tip about the Quickmute app. I installed it and now my speakers are working again.

Thanks for suggesting 'Quick Mute Volume Control' app. It worked well for me.
Does anybody as this problem: my lg 4x hd is with rooted with cm 10.1.2 rom.everything is fine except when i listen to music...when a song is playing i hear these pops and click and sometimes it freezes for a fraction of second..
Is there a fix for this?i didnt want to download another music app.
Ps:the music app is cm 10.1 stock-apollo
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Install a different music app and see if the problem goes away. That way you'll know if it is the ROM/your music or the app.
Troubleshoot it yourself by elimination.
Oh yes ... this has NOTHING to do with DEVELOPMENT - belongs on the Q&A forum so please report it to a moderator to be moved as I'm mobile and can't.

My phone has developed a similar problem over the last couple of days. Flashed Cm 10.1.2 on Friday (from stock) and everything worked great. Music played with no problem. Yesterday started to have a problem where music playback started to stutter and eventually stop, but only when the screen is off. Tried Poweramp and Google Music, same problem.
I think there is some issue with the system when the screen is off , as notification sounds are also disrupted, and the lock screen is very laggy when trying to wake the phone up. When the screen is on there is no problem with general operation, music playback is fine, as is video, streaming,etc. This problem has resulted in the phone freezing entirely a couple of times and I've had to remove the battery to reset.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone found a solution?
I updated to 10.1.3 to see if this would make any difference, but no change. I am going to reflash to see if that cures it and will post back if it does.

I had the same issue, until i stumbled over this easy solution. If you are using poweramp or any other music player where you can change the audio buffer, just increase the buffer and the problem should be fixed....
A few days ago, I started having an issue with my Moto X's audio. I noticed after waking up my alarm hadn't gone off. After that, I realized that my phone wouldn't play any audio at all, through the speaker or headphones. However, I'm not entirely sure whether this is a software or hardware problem. When I attempt to play any video or audio I tend to get a general error from the app I'm using. For example, trying to play a song through Play Music results in a "Couldn't play the stream you requested." error. Attempting to play a Youtube video through the app gives me "There was a problem while playing." error. Trying to play a video through Chrome will actually make Chrome close. So, my audio problem doesn't seem to just be a speaker problem, because if it were I would expect videos to play without a problem, there would simply be no sound, unless I'm misunderstanding how that would work. I'm also not sure whether or not it's hardware related, because, as I said, the issue occurs with both the speaker and when I plug in earbuds or headphones.
I've already attempted some general solutions I had hoped would fix my problem. I've checked the sound setting and ensured the three volume sliders are set correctly. The next thing I tried was the general turn it off, and on again approach. I've also cleared the cache (multiple times), and even resorted to a factory reset, none of which has helped. I also uninstalled any recently installed apps, just in case. The fact that a factory reset did not help makes me assume it has to be a hardware problem. However, I'm not certain, because of the aforementioned errors I get from apps, as opposed to the behavior I would expect if there was a problem with the speaker. Again, please correct me if this is, in fact, what a speaker problem would be like.
Note: I'm running stock 4.4.4 Android and the phone was indeed bought used. I had a problem with my old phone and was not eligible for an upgrade yet, so I bought this phone. I got the phone about a week ago and, until yesterday, it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, I'm still not able to get an upgrade so that's not an option.
I'd really appreciate any guidance with this problem. Unfortunately, after the factory reset, I kind of ran out of things to try to hopefully fix it. Also, I apologize if this post has any formatting issues. This is the first time I've posted. If there's anything I could have done to make my question more clear, please alert me to it.
Tl;dr No audio from stock Moto X running current update. Apps give error or close when attempting to play video or audio. Already tried clearing cache partition and factory reset with no results.
Hi all,
So I recently received a replacement S6 (because of a camera vibrating issue). Thankfully that issue is fixed, but what I've come to realize is that whenever I listen to podcasts, my phone would randomly rewind or fast-forward what I am currently listening to on its own. It took me a day to realize I wasn't crazy.
For example:
While listening to a podcast using Podcast Addict or PodBean, audio would randomly repeat the last 5 seconds, or skip forwards 5 seconds. I tried multiple stations, apps, and even kept the screen on to watch for it to happen. I thought it could possibly be my phone inputting commands on its own, so I watched and noticed Podbean only has a R/FF option for 30 seconds, yet it still does it in shorter increments.
Questions:
1. Has anyone experienced this before?
2. Is there any way to for the device to trigger a toast when a command is issued?
3. Would a keylogger work to find out what's happening? (I don't know..)
4. Should I get another device? Maybe this is why my current device was returned?
Currently on:
Galaxy S6 Replacement Device
Stock S6 MM 6.0.1
Having same issue.
I am having the same issue I started to notice it right after I updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1. Im using Pocket Casts as my podcast app. I have not found any fixes, I thought I was the only one with this kind of issue
