Beats Audio glitched out!...? - HTC Rezound

Ive been using my Rezound to play music through my car stereo via the AUX input and it had been doing well until now....
I just went shopping and started listening to music & the mid's/high's sounded kind of washed out and there was practically no bass coming from any of my subs. I double-checked the settings on the phone as well as on my deck but everything seemed normal.
I decided to plug in my old mp3 player to see if it still did the same thing... but no, music is playing just fine with the mp3 player. So, I plugged the phone back in and it got all fu**ed up again. I tried rebooting and its still doing the same thing.
damn you HTC and Dre!!!...

I had something similar happen the other day and found out that I didn't have the headphones plugged into the jack all the way so the contacts weren't fully connected. Might be worth checking just in case.

humorous response.
its being "weird" even with headphones now. well, now when I exchange it I can bring up the dead pixel and the audio issue. I guess I just got a bad unit.

i thought you were exhcanging this phone weeks ago and hated it or soemthing? lol

well was going to exchange it after the dead pixel yeah... my 30 days with Best Buy Mobile isn't up till the 17th so just figured i'd wait until then & get a fresh new phone again.
and no I don't hate it(how can I when its the best currently available). I'm just anxiously awaiting root as I can't stand phones stock(want to be able to add/remove whatever I want, complete customization).
I still don't know what happened to the Beats on mine... really bizarre that while Beats is enabled its doing that through AUX and headphones. I did use one of those automated temp roots recently though and noticed it gave me some random FC's. the battery died this morning though and seems to have gone back to 'normal'.
p.s. I've actually been using the camera like crazy(especially the panoramas). very disappointed about GN's 5MP.

*UPDATE*: I decided to try again today and Beats is still messed up... So, I then tried POWERAMP and music is playing normally through that... as is the Digitally Imported app. So whatever is wrong is just with Beats. (force stop, clear data & reboot haven't fixed it either)
Is anyone else having anything weird happen just to the Beats Music app?

When you did temp root, you didn't freeze music enhancer did you?

Did you try a factory reset??
It makes sense that PowerAmp works as beats doesn't work at all with that app.
I have PA installed also because I have a $400 pair of Ultimate Ears earbuds that I can easily make sound exactly like the beats sound, but I need the EQ settings from PA to do it.

no i did not.. but am thinking about temp rooting again & removing the app, then powering down to get out of temp root & have it auto load the app back again. i will try that later on.

Anyone else having this issue with the included headphones?

The last few weeks I've been using the headphones now since I'm back to working out. However, it seems at random, that the next track button stops working. When it stops working, the Play/Pause button actually skips to the next track.
I use mine a lot and can say that this has never happened to me.
Well, then I hate you. I am gonna file this as an issue due to being rooted I suppose... Won't matter soon anyways as I need to find me a good set of jogging headphones.
I run into the same problem if I use my actually comfortable headphones instead of the crappy huge buds that can't fit in my ear. These have no controls on them and when using Pandora, it will just skip until I reach the 6 skip per hour limit and then it will still do crazy random things like open my notifications and stuff. I have since gotten some even better headphones and rooted (CM Nightlies) and it no longer happens. I think it is a poorly designed headphone connector that catches random signals, but thats just my opinion.

Hmm, thats an interesting thought. I have been using the stock music player, but am now running CM6 RC1 and have not tested it again, so I'll see how that goes and report back...
So, now that I am running CM6, the headphone buttons do not work at all, and I assume it is because of the different music player being used. Anyone know how I can install the stock HTC Music Player?

Speakers too low

Hi I just got my thunderbolt on the 21st. Ever since, the volume on the back speakers are really low. Everytime I play music it sounds like its halfway. But its on full. Even on YouTube.
I've been told there's a "hearing aid" option in the settings that will drastically boost the volume of anything that comes out of the speaker. This may help you out.
Though I just looked, and it's under the "Call" settings. Seems to only affect in-call volume, but it still may be worth a try.
mine has no problem... I usually have to turn it down... might be the video you are playing... but I assure you mine is 4x louder than any other phone (iphone, evo,incredible)
people usually ask to use my phone to watch videos on break so everyone can hear it
Oh well .my Eris was louder. I'll try some other media players. Thanks
My first TBolt was so quiet I could barely hear anything too. I exchanged it and my new one is much louder.

yeah my TBolt is like twice as loud as my evo 4g was.
I remember setting the notification tone, and not listening to it, but hitting ok right away and when it went off scared the crap outta me.

Speakers Get Stuck Playing Loud Noise

Hi guys,
I just followed the instructions on wiping my new G-Tablet device, putting Clockworkmod on it, then I put the latest edition of Vegan lite. It's AWESOME (WAY better than the original!).
Only thing is (and I had this problem when I tried rooting my device once before this after getting it brand new), 1-2 times I've had the speakers just play a loud noise constantly and I have to turn the device off and on.
The second time was early this morning (6am-ish). I had my alarm set for that time and instead of playing the alarm sound I chose, it just constantly played a loud noise that I couldn't stop. Anyone heard of this?

if the sound is a static sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound that happehearden any audio is supposed to be heard yes, I've seen this. It doesnt always happen but after a while it starts making that noise when audio is supposed to be heard.
I bought 2 off of Woot and 1 had this problem. I read somewhere on these forums that it seems to be a hardware issue that only seems to affect a handful of g tabs. Woot gave me an rma for it and is replacing it.

I had the problem with the stock rom and with TNT lite, it wasn't that big of a deal because a reboot would take care of it, but it bothered me because even with the volume turned all of the way down the static sound was loud. I would just feel rude if it did that on a flight or in class....

Sound pop fixable in software?

I noticed last night while using my phone in my quiet room that I too have the faint pop 3 seconds after a sound plays. I've found several threads on here and elsewhere relating to the HTC One and other phones having the same issue. It appears to be an OS issue rather than a specific phone or hardware issue. Some have explained that it's the amplifier shutting off after the sound has played. It's not a dealbreaker and definitely a first world problem, but this is my first Android phone after using only iPhones for the last 5 years and it is very annoying when you hear it and cant get rid of it. I also noticed this happens even if I have the sound completely off! Is this a fixable thing by google or a clever patcher?
Wow... I had never noticed this and if it weren't for this thread I probably wouldn't have. After a sound plays, it sounds like there is a sort of "static" (for lack of a better term) that plays until something shuts off. It's like on the old cassette players - the difference between the end of a tape that's playing versus having the player turned off. Weird. I really don't know what to make of it.

It's called beats audio...
It happens without beats and HTC are aware of it.
Mine does it as well, noticed it the first day I had it.

Galaxy S9 Plus Sound Problem

Hey everyone, I have the T-Mobile version of the galaxy s9 plus. The past few days I've come across something really weird... sometimes while im watching a video or listening to music or playing a game, basically everything that involves sound, there is a weird static, crackling noise. At first when it happened I though my headphones were screwed because they are kinda old, but afterwards realized that its the phone in general because both speakers make the same noise. I tried bunch of things in the audio settings to see if maybe dolby atmos was the issue or whatever but nothing fixed it. It is really really annoying because it happens frequently and it sucks while im listening to music at work or watching netflix or anything like that. Just wondering if any of you guys have any fixes or have seen that issue or experienced it. Thanks in advance.

I am also having sound issues. Mine, however, are bit different: sound coming from headphones is distorted, muffled as if it was coming from inside of a box. No matter the sound source (Spotify, YouTube, mp3 on the phone).
Interestingly enough, after I restart the phone, sound is back to normal... For 20 seconds <,<
Speakers are fine though.
Mine is on PHN firmware

I'm also having issues with sound on my S9+, Exynos version. I've hade mine for a few days and discovered the first evening that there was some annoying static noise when I played some videos I had shot with the camera. I immediately called Samsung support and the advice I got there was to reset the camera app and shut down the phone for about 2 minutes and then restart it. That seemed a while to have solved the problem until I tonight discovered that the sound came and went from some other video clips I had shot tonight. I have now made a factory reset of the phone and will see if that was sufficient or not . Besides this I haven't experienced any other issues. What I however fear is causing this is Dolby Atmos , but I may be wrong of course. In worst case I'll have to return the phone if this problem continues.

Wow... well please follow up here if resetting the phone fixes the issue, so I can try it too. I also realized the past few days that I have a wi-fi issue so the phone just doesn't stop with the problems Whenever im on Wi-Fi and I go on any social media app like facebook twitter youtube etc my wi-fi cuts off showing there is no internet... and I know its not a problem on my end because I have many people connected and they are all using the wi-fi fine...
I had the exact same problem with mine, but it only started happening after putting an ad card in., when I took the sd card out, it fixed itself and I haven't had a problem since, so try that. If it works it works, if not it was worth a try
This issue sounds like a rising case for a recall. Send it back to the service center.
have a similar issue but mine is a little different, when i only play music it works fine, but the minute i start a game for example words with friends 2 the crackling noise starts. If i minimize the game the sound is gone.
Currently having the same peoblem with mine. Any tips on how to troubleshoot?
Same issue on my Verizon s9+
I have the exact same problem on my Verizon Galaxy S9 Plus. But it only happens with Dolby Atmos on. The crackling sound and static goes completely away and never happens when I have Dolby Atmos off.
Did anyone have and solutions for this as I'm having a similar issue with the Note9 and have had the issue on two handsets.
I've got a weird issue with the sound on my s9+. Every now and then the sound will dip as if a notification has arrived, except it hasn't. Does it in all apps.

Sold the phone that same week. Samsung's customer service is appalling. They couldn't fix it and wouldn't replace it. Never again.

Wow. That's too bad. Hopefully you're much happier. I added the warranty to this one so I'm hoping they will exchange it.
