I bought a Galaxy Note a month or so ago. I'm not sure if this happened before the ICS update or if it came with it as it's still all a bit new. I'm wondering if the following behaviour is a fault (hardware or otherwise), is a setting that I can alter or if it "just is".
I use the Note a lot to play music especially at night as I'm going to sleep, when I have the Note on either the quietest volume setting or something close to it. I have noticed that when the volume level is low on quiet passages in the music it drops out altogether. This is quite noticable as any background hiss (on older recordings) drops to silent then comes back in again as the music approaches a louder passage. It does the same on video.
It can be quite annoying and very distracting. If I turn the volume up (past about half way on quieter, older recordings) the problem vanishes completly so it looks like an issue with the pre-amp or DAC?
I have tried different audio players and different headphones with no change. I have also tried playing music without headphones (using the in-built speaker) and think that does it also, although it's harder to tell.
The wierd thing is googling around I can't find anyone reporting the same problem, which makes me think I possibly have a fault. Any ideas? Could someone else with a Note on ICS try the same thing and report their findings?
Test is: find somewhere very quiet. Play some quiet music on the Note and turn the volume right down until it is barely audible with the earphone pressed in. Try different pieces of music and see if the sound drops out on quieter passages - for me, it does.

I found this happening on a fade out of a song (Bjork - Play Dead). On volume 1 the sound would cut out much earlier than on volume 2. It sounds like a classic noise reduction technique kicking in - designed to reduce hiss.
Not much pop music is mixed like this any more I don't think. You'd certainly notice it more on Classical music where the dynamic range is far greater than Pop.

Perfect - yes, that describes my problem. And yes, it is classical music where I find it most noticeable (especially older recordings which tend to be quieter with quite a bit of background hiss). I wonder if there is any way to diable the noise reduction...?
Appreciate your help. At least I now know I don't have a faulty device. Massive thanks.
By the way the best answer I have so far is to play on higher sound levels and use an set of headphones with an old style (non digital) volume control to bring the sound back down to a reasonable level at the earphonesd. Pretty poor solution really - had hoped for better from my lovely new Note.
+1 big problem for my...and now...not solutions...waiting...
I have this issue since Samsung replaced my mainboard. It happens on stock ICS and CM9. I haven't tried Gingerbread.
Could this be a hardware problem?
Is there any fix to this yet, this is exactly my problem, good tip about using an in-line headphone volume control though
The same bug. Please fix it somebody.
I too have this problem with my new Galaxy Note (ICS 4.0.4). I'd be interested to hear from any Note users that *do not* have this problem when playing back audio at low volumes. If you don't notice the audio completely dropping out, please list what version of Android you're running. Thanks!
I guess we need some more experimentation to see if it's a hardware or software issue (or both).

Hi,
I am quite sure this is a software bug. When my note was using gingerbread, it was OK. It started to behave this wasy after the (official) ICS upgrade. Some of my friends are using unofficial ROMs (4.0.3 or 4.0.4) and it is ok - I tested it. So my conclusion is that samsung put some software trying to reduce noise in low audio volume, but it's not working as it should be...
More people are stumbling upon this noise gate problem:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35861
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1717425
I experience it on ICS and also on CM9, only with headphones plugged in (not when listening to music via bluetooth on the Sony MW600).
It does not occur on Gingerbread, but I don't like to use that ROM as a daily driver...
Can anyone confirm if there are custom ROMS that do not have this behavior?
Or is there maybe some way to replace the ICS media playback service with the GB one?
Well, all ICS-based custom ROMs I've tried suffer the same irritating behavior.
And it also turns out that GB has the same kind of noise gate, but the threshold seems to be a lot lower and therefore it doesn't kick in that often.
But I've just installed a CM10 nightly, and that seems to solve the issue.
my 2 cents
I can confirm, that I have similar problem.
I have the problems only when watching movies. the sound just cuts off when the character stops speaking, so it cuts off the background sound.
I tried different kernels, ROM´s... same problems on GB, ICS, CM9...
I have a hillBilly solution that works for me! When ever the sound cutting starts, I just change the volume for one level. The cutting will off course repeat... but it's indeed better than listen to the clipping...
For black clipping I use highest brightness and film screen mode. It does the trick for me...
But it just pisses me of when I realize that I have the phone with ****ty screen, sound and bricking danger...
wtf sammy... i just cant belive that i paid 540 eur for this, its sad

Just flashed latest PA, and its till there!
Im not an expert! Does anyone remember a background noise reduction option while making a call in GB??
I cant find it in ICS or PA. I think that this background noise redustion system is causing the cutting. It must be somehow connected.... im not an dev or anything but my gut tells me that this could be!
anyone?
Take care
DonLaDroid
OK all, let's figure out what ROMs don't have this problem, and start bugging the Devs to try to fix it on the others :laugh:
Well, I just noticed that the sound cut-off is also back on the unofficial 08/31 build of CM10. It was much less noticeable on the 08/28 build. :crying:
The difference between the two builds is a huge decrease in sound volume: build 08/28 was much louder than the latest one. Maybe the noise gate simply doesn't kick in so soon when the system volume is cranked up. You basically get the same effect when turning up the volume completely and turn it down with an inline analog control - as suggested by StarFishUK in post #3.
So my question would be what makes the volume louder on 08/28?
And how can I get that 'cranked up volume' on newer CM10 builds or preferably on ICS roms? Any ideas?
By the way, I totally agree with your 2 cents DonLaDroid. I never had this much trouble with my old Dell Streak...
Haven't noticed this myself (CM10), but i've noticed something incredible annoying in CM builds, and that's when i'm listening to music with headsets and i'm increasing the volume, it seems that it's "missing" a couple of steps. So when i'm increasing the volume it'll go from 5 to 8 in one step, and not 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
It should be: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
But it is: 0,1,2,3,4,5,8
How to test this problem. ..
Go to a quiet room.
Set audio level to one (one click up from silence)
Play some music with soft passages.
For me, the sound shuts off during quiet audio for speaker and wired headset. Note that this isn't simply an absence of sound. The sound turns off then suddenly starts again in the middle of a louder passage.
Bluetooth doesn't have the problem.
A gentleman on one of the Kernel threads believes this may be a hardware issue. The sound clips to cover noise from the speaker.
All, it seems that this is a "feature" of our phone. We will need to contact Samsung for the word on if this is a hardware issue or of it can be fixed via software. Right now it seems this happens in all ROMs, Touchwiz or AOSP.
Workaround is to use Bluetooth or a wired headset with an analog volume control.
I am experiencing the intensely annoying sound cut out bug. This appears to occur under the following circumstances
1. Headphones plugged in only (not speakers or blue tooth)
2. The phone volume is fairly low 1-3
3. Music / Video is playing and there is a quiet passage e.g. music fading out, whispering in a film, sharp drop in volume of a song
The effect is that rather than playing the sound the sound completely cuts out.
My current suspicion is that it is something like a headphone amplifier power saving measure. Essentially cutting off the sound amplification if the system believes just white noise / hiss is coming through the headphones.
I have tons of music that triggers this issue (only permanently up tempo music such as dance and most pop do not trigger this issue), I have tested in Cyanogen, PA & SlimBean. Others have reported this issue in Stock ICS.
Does anyone know if the current Stock Samsung has this issue or not, before I attempt to get support from Samsung who presumably have done all their audio testing with Gungam Style and therefore have managed to miss this massive issue?
Been asking for a fix for this issue for ages, I'm either being ignored or nobody has a fix, thus can't be fixed.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Sadly there's no real solution to this annoying 'noise gate' problem, which I've noticed since ICS on every Stock or Custom Rom that I have tried on the N7000.
The issue is also discussed here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35861
For now, you only have two workaround options:
1. Get a pair of headphones with inline analog volume control. Crank up the volume on your device and lower it within the headphones.
2. Program a Tasker profile to play an inaudible sound that keeps the noise gate open (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35047527&postcount=25)
I've used option 2 before, but decided a few weeks ago to switch to 1 (with the Sennheiser CX 400-II).
Also I've noticed that the problem does not occur when streaming media audio via Bluetooth.
This is good advice, I have an inline seinheisser controls somewhere

Hi - I have this problem too and so do many others.
To my ears, it sounds like there is a noise gate being used on the headphone output to mask off system noise at low levels. Noise gates will close when audio drops below a certain threshold and you can use them to eliminate background noise during periods of silence in music. However, in this instance, it shuts down during quiet passages - especially when listening to classical tracks with a wide dynamic range.
IF it is a noise gate, it is likely to be implemented in the hardware (doing it in firmware wouldn't mask noise generated by the phones circuitry - which is he whole point). Consequently, there might not be anything that can be done to resolve the problem. However, it is possible that the phones firmware configures the audio chip during boot-up. This being the case, an industrious programmer might be able to do a few tweaks and disable or modify the behaviour of the gate. I hope so because all my music is on my Galaxy Note and it is painful to listen to at times!
That's the real reason I am here: is there anyone on this forum who knows enough to be able to write a fix for this as it appears that Samsung aren't listening? Some people report this problem on the Note 2 as well.

Damn it -- sorry to hear that about the Note 2, as I was thinking of upgrading to that. Hopefully the Note 3 will have it fixed, or I just might have to go to the S4
Yes, this bugs me immensely -- it affects music with soft passages (classical) at any volume level, and of course is irritating when listening to music at night. What I'd like to do is to find or make a headset or cord that supports the microphone and includes an analog volume control.
My N7000 has also this problem with every kernel and rom I tried. With Android 2.3.6 and 4.0 it was only happening with the videos, but after 4.1, it happens with the music too. So I think it can be fixed by software (I mean actually fixed, not the inaudible sound solution).
It's very annoying, I bought the note fot its big screen, to watch videos and now I can't do it because the sound sucks. Also I can't lisent to music anymore in the night...
Solution for annoying noise suppression!
This seems to be the solution:
Start 'phone', go into settings, and disable 'noise suppression'!
Seems to be working...
There is a patch that fixes the problem for my N7000 with OmniROM:
github.com gustavoss android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412 commit 3019675d57c4046c30f82d04ce41913150df0d6e
(Sorry for the distorted link, as a new user I am not allowed to post links yet...)
The question is: How to get it into CM, OmniROM, and co.?

So I was happily using my phone for music. Using earphones. Running PAC 4.4.4 with a locked bootloader. Decided to phone my mother on the way back from college. Can't here her. No earphones connected. No sound through earpiece, switched to loudspeaker this worked and I could hear her. ( though she could also hear herself due an issue with PAC ROM)
I tested my phone's audio when I got back using Deezer here are the results:
Loudspeaker: No sound volume. Tried adjusting still no sound
Headphone jack output: normal sound and quality.
I then used an app to switch audio to earpiece: sound is breaky uppy. Stuttery very much broken.
I then tried switching device on and off. No result.
Sound plays on volume adjustment of ring volume only.
Tried other sound sources anything to do with ring or notification sound plays from loudspeaker.
So confused thought it could be viper for android.
I changed to the new stock based 4.3 ROM by killawave.
The problems stays I reflashed kernel both .205. And .207
I've resorted to believing its tondo with the headphone jack ( so I'm removing screws from my phone to see if I can open the port and fix it. But I have hit a stubborn screw. Feeling quite frustrated by this.
Does anyone know about this problem? Or how to solve it.
I think I have a solution
But it's temperorary. Sound plays if I download an app called SoundAbout from Google play. I went into connectable devices --> wired headset settings --> disable wired headset detection.
Essentially all sounds work now
But before all volumes but media volume would work.
From testing it is definitely earphone jack failure:
I'll try a toothpick massage to the port to see if it works wish me luck
If you think it might could be firmware, you can consider to flash a ftf file and start all over...

Thanks,
Thanks for the suggestion but I heavily doubt the issue is software related. I've tried going stock. But didn't solve the issue. Its hardware damage for sure either physical or moisture. But not sure how moisture could of entered. I'm sure of it as twiddling a paper clip in it solved audio for a few seconds but replugging earphones in resets the issue. I'll try a bowl of rice overnight to remove any moisture if any. I will open it up using solder on the dodgy screw tomorrow.
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.

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?
Hello developers around XDA...I got a issue of no sound from earpiece and speaker on my Sony Xperia ZR device since when I was on stock rom. later I decide to switch from stock to custom rom to solve this issue but unfortunately it wasn't work. I wonder about many people are still facing same issue on different devices even in Google premium phone Pixel XL 2. I am finding answer online about the cause and many people have told headjack faulty which prevent to route audio on speaker and Earpiece. I am finding solution to get it fix from system root path or any code edit in root path without use of third party app like sound about or audio router.
So I need developers to look into issue on how to route audio without app permanently. Any fix from developers would be appreciated and ready to test on device.
try sound about from the play store
I know about " Sound about" and "Audio Router" app. But my concern is to fix this issue without app by ROM. How soundabout app works to route audio by blocking headset which Android see as plug-in. That trick should be in ROM in the form of switcher inbuilt in Android settings.

Hi! I started to have the same problem few months ago. I was on stock lollipop. So I figured I flash LineageOS. It didn't help. I think it's a headphone jack fault. I've had this phone for four years and every day i listen music. I think headphone jack just wore out.
EDIT: I changed my display two years ago. Had water damage (seawater). I think the headphone jack thing, may come from that too.
This problem started to me when I was on lollipop Sony stock rom so I decide to switch to Lineage or other ROM but issue wasn't solved. I use soundabout which relieve me from this issue but as you told it might be headphone jack problem..it's seems to be doubt because other devices from legacy till Pixel XL 2 owner facing same issue even they didn't use headphone daily. So may be it's a issue related to Sound certificate/license expiry for legacy device...

I have the same problem too
I know the problem & the solution.
Problem: Only Media Tones (Loudspeaker / Music / In-Call audio) is broken.
That is because the headphone jack is loosened. The correct way to solve the problem is to plug a headphone jack (I used 3 pole) and properly unplug the jack while playing a song.
Check for audio again, plug / unplug until you can listen to the music by speaker.
Another way is to use log cat and look exactly where it is stuck after plugging & unplugging.
I encountered this after plugging audio cable to my car. Unfortunately, I cannot plug it in again because it is too loose to be usable and might permanently fell into headphone jack attached mode.
The whole set is available at Alibaba (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...Jack-Audio-Flex-Cable-Mobile/32717114182.html)

Another way is to use log cat and look exactly where it is stuck after plugging & unplugging.
I encountered this after plugging audio cable to my car. Unfortunately, I cannot plug it in again because it is too loose to be usable and might permanently fell into headphone jack attached mode.
The whole set is available at Alibaba (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...Jack-Audio-Flex-Cable-Mobile/32717114182.html)
Thanks to @namenlos from ZL thread for sending me the alibaba link.
