[Q] Audio issues? Anyone else? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wanted to know if anyone else have audio issues. I'll explain.
When I leave my tablet to sleep some minutes, or a while, or some hours, sometimes after resuming it, it will not have sound anymore. And actually, any attempt of playing sounds (for example...the keyboard "tick" sound..) will make my tablet to play "SHSHSHHSHSHSHSHSH" (noise..) for about 4 or 5 seconds. This will repeat everytime I try to play something. The fix is to reboot, but its kinda depressing showing off the tablet and it fails like that D: LOL
Thanks!

last bump? Anyone?

I have not - it could be a hardware defect. Have you tried it in stock (or are you in stock right now?)
A few users have mentioned audio static at times, but I have never had this issue.

Never any problems since buying the tablet in late November. I would exchange the unit wherever you bought it.

That's exactly what mine is doing. After the reboot, it's fine...makes me think it's not hardware. I'm running TNTlite 3.1.2. Didn't have it in 2.4. What are you running? Also running the lag patch.

This actually just happened to me yesterday -- the "SHSHSHSHSHSHS" static playing quite loud. I muted all sound (i.e. Silent Mode) and it stopped -- but when I re-enabled sound and started an app with music, it returned.
BTW: I am running Vegan Beta 4...
Rebooted and it has gone away (for now) -- but I notice something strange now...
Perhaps someone else can reproduce this:
1) Put tablet in Silent mode (from settings, not via Volume rocker)
2) No sounds should be heard when clicking any apps in drawer, home button, etc.
3) Re-enable sound from Sound settings (Turn OFF Silent mode)
4) Using the volume rocker, turn the volume all the way down until it is supposed to be "OFF" (Media Volume Speaker is grey and has an "X" beside it)
5) Click on any apps in drawer, you should hear a very faint "click" when you select that shouldn't be there normally
Interestingly, it also happens for some touches of the capacitive "hard" buttons -- mainly Menu and Back since almost all apps have those options. "Home" and "Search" do not seem to trigger sounds...
A strange glitch to be sure but one I can live with (it's Beta software after all) -- wondering if anyone else has this as well?
**UPDATE: Weird...While the above problem still exists, I noticed that sound seems to play properly (i.e. without static, noise, etc) when you go into the Sound settings menu, select Volume, and turn OFF the "Use incoming call volume for notifications" -- which gives you an extra slider to set. After setting that slider to any value, the problem hasn't reappeared and sound seems clean (so far)
Perhaps not having the "phone" functions in the tablet borked the setting? Nothing to read from? And force assigning a value helps?

It happened to me for the first time yesterday watching videos on CNN. I believe it was the video about Brett Farve getting fined for not cooperating with the NFL. I stopped the video and started again, and it was fine from that point on.

Same here on zpad ...except no shhhh sound or whatever just silence when trying to play music....so annoying

actually even a reboot isn't fixing it now...still no sound at all

well im glad im not alone, i dont think its a hardware issue

Fwiw i flashed vegans latest build and probem is fixed for now...zpad ws causijg me all kinds of hell....but i liked it best

FYI: The "Shshshshshsh" came back on my GTablet last night and it was LOUD...
Had to reboot to get it to clear...muting sound didn't seem to work to stop it...
Will be flashing Vegan Beta 5.1 so hopefully it will go away with a Wipe...

Same problem here too... even happened in VEGAN 5.1 last night so I flashed to TNT Lite 4.0 and it happened there as well.

This happens when I use Fring. I get an extremely loud noise from connection till close. Since we are discussing sound issues, I'm not getting any sound from my avi files. It shows beautifully but no sound. I tried many players but no success. Anyone experience this?
Scott

I only get sound from ac3 encoded avi files when using rockplayer software decoding.

I get a constant low static noise thru headphones. Also a pop sound every now and then.

I occasionally get a nonstop static SHHHHHH that is only corrected by rebooting. Had it with every version of TnTlite, never happened when I had vegan

So hardware or software problem? Is anyone for sure yet?

now mine is doing something else strange....media volume, when hitting hte rocker is stuck on silent....when I go into sounds, make sure silent is off....and increase media volume under volume....then hit ok...I go back into volume and it has reverted back to 0%....can't figure it out...
vegan 5.1 with cleymson kernel

Same issue here. I have actually had it happen while using it from a fresh boot...no sleep

[Q] TnT Lite v2.2.0 - Random popping sound from speakers

Every once in a while, a short squelch/static sound is produced from the speakers; it happens randomly while I'm on the homescreen or in xScope. Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder if it's just me or whether this is normal; perhaps I need to reflash the ROM.
I have had it happen occasionally with all the different Roms. Kind of a pop sound..
ive also had this happen a few times a loud pop
Mine does it too. It will eventually get ironed out.
My gtablet is showing this issue using the stock rom and latest update. I was woundering if this is a hardware issue. When this happens all audio seems to stop working. A reboot seems to fix it so that makes me think the hardware is fine. Also I do not see anything when looking at the log cat. Anyone have any ideas?
Never had this issue, and I'm a stickler for audio.
Happens to me every timewithin first 5 minutes of boot, then only if I have to manually reconnect WiFi (which I have not have to do from Lite-3.0 and later) since the Tab was stock out of the box.
However doesn't happen on my (well, the wife's) Tab at all running 3.0.
I take it as a hardware non-issue.

I'm having this issue too.
A reboot fixes it, and it only seems to happen after the tablet's been brought out of sleep--and not every time. I will get a burst of static--sounds like white noise--anytime there is supposed to be a sound, including playing music, the background of Angry Birds, or even the new mail notification or the little click from Thumb Keyboard.
I'm running TNTlite 3.1.2, along with the patch for the lag issue. It didn't happen for me when I was running 2.4.
Popping noise
Hi....I have the same problem with my GalaxyTab. I have noticed that the popping sound occurs usually when the Tab is not secure. What I mean is....when the Tab is tightly secured in my jacket or coat pocket, the noise doesn't happen. But when my jacket or coat is unzipped and there's plenty of swing room as I'm walking, it happens more frequently. Also, when I take a big step or the Tab jets bumped in any way...the noise also happens. Sometimes it's very loud and actually hurts my ear. It only happens on my left ear plug. Any fixes?
Just wanted to give this a little bump.
My G-Tablet (VegAn-TAB 5.11 Beta) sometimes (while the screen is off) will just start hissing. It sounds like white noise or old tv static. Only for a couple of seconds. It sometimes does this while opening applications with background music. I think this may be connected to a global audio issue where the internal speaker is disabled after connecting and disconnecting bluetooth headphones. Sometimes the audio just quits all together, after playing music or internet content. The volume tab shows the volume is up, but no audio comes out. A reboot fixes this.
Just some very strange happenings and I wanted to get some updates from people. It sounds like a systemic issue as many others have reported this, too.
This issue drives me crazy
Having the same issue, running Vegan with Clemsyn's kernal v9. I get the occasional full-volume white noise hiss (kinda embarassing to experience at work), and also the occasional pop and static-y audio. Has anyone been able to successfully (permanently) resolve it?

Also have the same problem. I haven't found a resolution yet. Same problem with Cyanogenmod 7

[Q] No timer sound (UPDATE: it's something related to System sound)...please help

I use the countdown timer built in to the SGS2 stock rom quite a bit. It has always played the selected sound whenever I've used it, but today the sound stopped working when the timer reached 00h 00m 00s.
I can select the alert sound from the menu and it will play the test sound when selected, but when used on the actual timer it's silent no matter which sound I select.
I'm on Orange UK with stock rom kernel build XWKF3, baseband version XXKE7...only just flashed via the official Kies update in the past week.
Apart from that (and the Social Hub force close problem) everything else works fine.
Anyone got any ideas about how I can get the sound back on my timer?
UPDATE: After a bit more digging, the problem seems to be 'system sound'. If I go to Menu/Settings/Sound/Volume I get the 4 default sliders for Incoming Call, Media, System and Notification volumes. Adjusting the Call, Media or Notification volumes via their own sliders results in a preview of the volume. However, when adjusting the System volume I get no sound whatsoever.
Again, as far as I can tell, all other sounds (including Alarm) appear to work fine.
UPDATE 2: The problem seems to be solely related to the timer. After more testing, all other sounds appear to work...Keypad tones, Alarm, Music, Game sounds, Video sounds...everything execept the timer alert sound...it's driving me mad!
Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thanks again,
Rich
Anyone?

having the same problem; have you found a solution?
i'm rooted and have disabled camera sound as described here (method 1); but it seems to be unrelated..
I have the same problem too.. It is driving me crazy for searching this solution. Looks like not a lot of people have this problem.
I need the timer sound !! Grr...

Kn0cker or simonskling....
Did you ever find a solution? My timer is still silent even after a further firmware update the problem remains the same as my original post, so I'm still searching for a solution. But as you say Simon, it doesn't look like many people have this problem. Either that or they do have the same problem but just don't use the timer.
I'm tearing out what little hair I have!!
Just downloaded 'Volume Ace Free' from Android Market for reasons entirely unrelated to the timer sound problem I was still having. Decided to test a few 'sound' apps after playing about with Volume Ace...and guess what? My timer sound is working again...lol.
Don't ask me what setting I changed though (but I suspect it's something to do with Systems sounds).
Hope this helps anyone else who has been suffering with the same problem.

LE: I also installed "Volume Ace Free" and noticed that the Alarm volume was set to 0. After I changed there, the timer sound appeared. Crazy!!!!

music static when screen turns off cm7

Ok loving having android on this thing one bug I have on mine is when I'm playing any sort of music be it pandora g-music or on board files, as soon as the screen shuts off it gets static sounding and choppy with weird clicks, was wondering if others have this same issue
yep i noticed the same
Same here. It's not awful but annoying enough!
I get the same problem but only on webos . Have to full reboot to resolve. Not sure if this is a 3.04 bug, cause this never happened to me on 3.02 . Anyone else still seeing this issue?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Have not booted into webos since I have ported android on this thing, weird tho tthat your getting this issue in webos, maybe its a hardware issue
Same problem here. I find most instances after turning the screen back on a few times the static seems to stop.
i have the same issue but only when running cm7. my webos works perfectly. most times if i am gonne be running music i just switch over to webos.
This seems to happen when the volume hits a certain point on the higher end. If you volume down a little bit, it goes away.
In my case, it was DSP Manager. I had enabled eq and bass boost which was causing the crackling and choppy sounds. I disabled eq and bass boost on speaker, headset and bluetooth and perfect sound now.
I'm running 2.1 alpha and WebOS was 3.04.
I had the same issue and changing the CPU profile in CM settings sorted it.
SETTINGS/CM SETTINGS/PERFORMANCE/CPU settings; Ondemantcl works for me.

[Q] Voodoo Sound loses custom settings while playing music

Hey Guys,
I have a GT-P7510 running CM9 with Pershoot's 2.6.36.4 cyanogenmod+root kernel
I use Spotify and PlayerPro to play my music.
I have noticed Voodoo Sound has been acting rather strange.
I've noticed on my Vibrant that Voodoo Sound once started after boot and set, will keep its volume until reboot without fail, provided the proper settings. but for some reason on the tablet it is unable to do that. Spotify suffers the most from this, after almost every song it decides to drop back down to -10db from +2db where I have it set for lineout in my car. If I open Voodoo Sound up after the volume drops, it will jump back up either immediately, or after I press on 'Headphone amplifier' when the bar comes up, it resets the volume back to +2db for the duration of that song. With my Vibrant, that behavior does not seem to exist. I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it.
My guesses are:
Spotify is messing with the settings between each song
CM9 Memory Management doesn't keep Voodoo Sound running as a service
Android Gremlins
Anybody else notice this behavior? If so, have any suggestions to resolve it, or to resolve my suspected reasons?
Thanks!
-Rob
I've been having the same issues aswell, I reported this issue already to curio but then again has unticking the box for safe level audio made a difference?
yeah, jack safety is off. I fiddled with it again last night. There is a good chance we will have to talk to notify about it. I have been noticing that their software is very buggy on this platform.
Rumor has it Samsung and CM are collaborating, which might give us the extra leverage needed to have them fix these bugs, of these are their bugs.

I had a bit of a breakthrough. I was researching spotify and volume related issues. I came across people complaining about how spotify handles sound, which is a bit like what Skype does to media during an incoming call, as well as some people's dislike for it. A little more digging came across this thread on xda. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803432 a chap with windows mobile had that problem and follow the m.spotify.com link, download for android 1.6+ install it (3rd party install apks enabled) this one. Once done confirm the following voodoo sound settings.
Smart amplifier
Don't interrupt music
Restore at launch
Load up spotify
Drop the volume until analog volume drops
Raise it back up again.
It held it for at least 3 songs while spotify holds focus. If you leave focus it will drop at the end of the song.
Beats having to turn the gain on the car up dangerously high and having alternator noise bleed in. Also beats resetting the volume after each song.
Fortunately with smart amplifier running you can just drop the volume a couple of times and raise it again for it to hit +2db again rather than diving through menus. And I was wrong, it defaults to -4db after each song.
Oh well its a lazy but annoying work around for now.

Hey Guys,
I have a little bit of an update,
The new preview release of spotify doesn't seem to be as heavily effected as the current market release, so if you use spotify and this is driving you crazy. Google their latest beta preview, should be easy to find. Perks of the new version, faster, less retarded navigation, full ics support, 320kbps, and just straight up better [=
Only draw backs atm is it is portrait mode only and occasionally drops the voodoo sound volume.

Music volume fluctuates when GPS speaks

So, I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I installed the same music application to my phone that I had before (HTC Desire). I never had a problem like this before. My problem is that, while playing music, the GPS interrupts the currently playing song (which is fine), but then there is an EXTRA interruption after this which also causes the song to play at a slight low volume, THEN return to normal volume shortly after. I remember that there was an option to enable/disable volume loudness protection or whatever and I THINK this is the culprit. BUT I CAN'T FIND THIS SETTING ANYMORE!! Does anyone know a solution to this problem? This has been bugging me for FOREVER. I use my GPS often because I often drive to locations I've never been for or barely go to, so this is a REAL pain in the buttocks. -- I also will be using it for the next few days!! :crying: So I would like to fix this, but if there's no fix, I guess I can bare through it for the next few days...
Running Serenity ROM v1.2 with Ktoonsez kernel.
EDIT: Forgot to also mention that this SOMETIMES happens with notifications and such, so I do not think it is the GPS's fault either.
EDIT2: Clarification: Want to get rid of that annoying second interruption that I mentioned earlier!! --I looked in developer options, sound, and EVERYTHING....still couldn't find it...
EDIT3: I searched online and nothing popped up useful (I think I wasn't searching with the right keywords. Kept getting results referring to headset not having any sound at all which is not right.)
