Sound problems - MTCB Android Head Units General

Hello,
I have a problem with my RK3066 car Android Unit. After a while, the sound on the left side is loosing quality and even disappears completely. You can make a better image of the problem by watching the video from here: http://bit.ly/2aoBbqy . All the info about the unit is in the video.
Observations I've made:
- the problem is probably related to heat
- the problem only happens when playing music from youtube, soundcloud or other similar app
- when playing a CD or listening to radio there are no problems.
Thank you!

Am I the only one with problems like this?

I'm having this issue with the right door speaker only. It has lot of static playing music over Bluetooth and wifi. Radio is perfect. This just started happening a few days ago and nothing has changed as far as settings.

Both above problems are related to your MCU chip or rom.

go to that post and follow instructions carefully to update your MCU firmware, and if that does not fix the issue, then your board is bad.
Sorry for the bad news.
Good luck, and please do let me know how it goes. I am curious to know.

Audio Goes Out on Tcpmp

Hi all,
I was watching a video the other day on my wing. It is flashed with ttran's excellent 3.0 biggy rom. I'm not suspecting it is an issue with the rom, but after watching a video for about 2 minutes, the video accelerates into an unnatrually fast speed and the audio just disappears. Btw, this problem is happening when I plug in headphones with a 3.5mm headphone adapter i got from brandos. This little adapter has never caused any problems for me before, so I'm just looking to see if anyone here has had a simular problem or if this is a know bug. Also, the audio going out isn't a consistent problem, sometimes it doesn't happen at all, but most of the time it happens at least once.
As always thank you in advance for your feedback

Hmm. I have similar problems. When streaming audio internet radio, sometimes it speeds up where it sounds like the Chipmunks. I listen thru a headset also. I don't know what causes this. I thought it might be the overclocking but as you say it only happens once in awhile. You can change the speed on the player, then change it back to 100% when it goes back.
I also have a very annoying problem. Every now and again it just dials the last number I called. I'll be listening to the radio and all of a sudden I hear Hello, Hello.......... I don't know what causes this either. I try to call my voice mail so it will be the last number I dialed and if it happens, at least I'm not calling someone. I think its the dialer change in the rom.

[Q] NEW ISSUE (ICS) Audio distortion in video when imported to computer???

So I have found a new, bizarre issue and need help. I updated my n7000 to the official German ICS rom last week. This week I have been using the video camera. The video and sound seem fine on the phone but as soon as I try to transfer and play them on my computer the sound distorts and creates a whirrrr and terrible electronic hum! What in the world is going on here? I restarted the phone and it has the same issues!
I opened up the video in Final Cut Pro and examined the audio. The audio is very "HOT" and rides in the red the whole time... it seems that it is distorting the signal. I restarted my computer and I am getting the same problem. I listen to the audio on the phone during play back and it is a little more tinny and white-noisy than usual. =(
My last step is to hard reset the phone. But I never had an issue until I loaded the official ICS ROM on it.
Can anyone shed some light???

Galaxy Note 5- Audio Spikes When Playing VBR Audio Files

Audio spikes when playing VBR audio files
Heya, first time poster here.
I've noticed that my Note 5 can't properly play audio files with a variable bitrate (So far I've only tested mp3 v0). It's totally random, but anywhere between a second to a few minutes, you can hear these really annoying popping or skipping sounds, like you were playing it off a scratched up CD. Again, I'm only seeing the issue with mp3 v0 files. Any audio files with CBR don't seem to have this issue. I can tell it's definitely some kind of software issue because of that fact, not to mention it happens with both the built-in speaker and through the headphone jack.
I've tried multiple audio files, as well as multiple audio playback apps. I've tried restarting the phone, and even a factory reset. I have a feeling that this won't be alleviated by simply exchanging the phone for a new one, but if I can't find a solution by the time my two weeks are up, I'll probably end up just turning it in anyway.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I've also tested those same audio files on a Galaxy S3 and S5. Neither phones had any apparent issue with playback.
If anyone out there is willing to test it out on their Note 5, I'd really appreciate it.
So I just exchanged my phone for a new one, and I'm still experiencing the same issue. Surely SOMEBODY out there has noticed this problem by now?
You're not alone I'm experiencing the same issue. I'll be testing the same files on my girls phone since she has the same one to see if its a universal issue with the device. Hope there's a solution found soon.

First of all, thanks heaps for your post. I have the same issue.
I noticed the popping this morning and spent the day dreading having to send the phone back. Your post reassures me the problem is not just my unit.
I'll do some more investigation later as to exactly what works and what doesn't. For now, I have an MP3 that reliably 'pops' at the same place every time and a FLAC version of the same song does not pop. I'm assuming a software update will fix ...
Confirming chirps/clicks/pops/cracks audio issues during VBR files playback using either the pre-supplied Google Music or Google Player download - BlackPlayer on Samsung Galaxy Note5 SM-N920C.

Same issue here. Has anyone found a way around this?

Read 1 post above yours. Last line.
Shame that the only workaround seems to be using Poweramp. I download/stream files off Subsonic and prefer to use that player for convenience as it downloads one track ahead of where I'm at, rather than needing to pre-load or download it all and then play to poweramp.
Guessing there's no fix for this yet aside from Poweramp?
I have the Note 5 from Verizon and mine does the same exact thing. I'm so annoyed I'm almost thinking of swapping it for a dreaded iPhone. I don't feel like re-ripping my 500+ cd catalog because my phone can handle VBR. C'mon Samsung... with all the useless features you cram into the phone you can't handle VBR MP3s?

Use the free app VLC. Works fine for all VBR etc.

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

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.
