[Q] Video playback and sound distortion [4.4.2] - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm having a problem with video playback. Whenever I pause the video or move the seek bar to any spot, the video will pause and play constantly even if it's already loaded until I replay the whole video all over again.
I'm also having an issue with the external speaker. Whenever I play music using the external speaker, the sound plays distorted even when no EQ's are active.
All of this started happening after I upgraded to 4.4.2 on Super Nexus. My question is, are these 4.4.2 issues in general? Or Super Nexus only. I'm willing to switch to another 4.4.2 rom but I'd like to find this out first.
Thanks in advance

Cyanogenmod is really awesome, just keep in mind that it has issues for the i9300, specially in the latest nightlys, as for me I love CM but I can't stand the audio issues with headphones, losing sound when stopping the internal mic (eg. music + calls, audio recording, video recording = no go), graphics glitches in long hovering lists, and the latest that for some reason when using headphones with build-in mic make the phone record the internal sound at the same time as the mic, eg. music + video recording = no go. As the usual ones, no WiFi tether, poor camera performance, etc. And also note that all of this issues are due to samsung not being completely open with his sources, thus the open community has to see how to compensate those parts...
So at the end, if you love android, you'll love CyanogenMod, it just needs to be ironed from some of the most infamous issues.:fingers-crossed:
don't decide until you experience it. good luck

Poweramp Issues on Kit Kat

Has anyone figured out why poweramp will freeze randomly when switching songs manually? I thought it might be related to Viper mod, but tried it without and still the same. All KitKat Roms i have tried do it. Any suggestions?
I have the same issue... ever since I installed cm11 nightly on my t-mobile galaxy s3, poweramp will lockup when I switch songs... I've updated my cm11 every night.
Alsom, sometimes the songs will play faster than normal. I don't know what to do.
Disable direct volume control. Worked for me.

I have to have it disabled for Viper to work regardless so that isn't it for me. The other day it had no issues then the following day back to lock ups and the fast playing music.
I usually listen to music while riding my bike.. so this upsets me
If it means anything to happens to me on playerpro also.
This is very annoying for me also

I will say that when kit kat first released with Gummy and kitkang I never had the issue that I recall originally. It was later down the pipeline so to speak after new commits from CM. On a side note today had no issues at all till tonight. Than it did it for every song about 4 songs in a row, then I rebooted and it's been good again.

I don't remember the early gummy builds doing it either. Guess I'll reboot more often and see what happens
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
it's sooo annoying. i wonder what's causing it? has poweramp been updated at all since kitkat became common?
Once I think it had been updated but no avail.
Same issue here. Nothing changes no matter what I do. Did anyone post these bugs to PowerAmp?
Today I did not have any song freeze on me but literally every other song that I manually skipped to had the "chipmunk" play speed. Once again a reboot fixed that issue. I have not submitted any thing to poweramp myself yet.
I've disabled direct volume control and disabled all fade and gapless songs options on poweramp, don't get it as often.

I don't want all that fancy sound effects stuff.. I just want a good mp3 player with a good search, I have a lot of music, Maybe something like apollo but with the features that poweramp has..

It is actually a very very simple app and it makes the sound on your phone about 100 times better. As far as the music app itself...I couldn't help you there.

Well I'm not interested in any audio enhancement app.. just an audio player app. I like the way most music sounds naturally.
poweramp kitkat viper4android issue
i get fast forward chipmonks... i get stuck in pause, it will not play.... only way is to restart app.... and only way to do that is to go into app manager and stop it manually.... i tried everything to fix it... i reinstalled viper4android multiple times...
ONE THING FIXED IT FOR ME....
de-check swipe to change track in Look and Feel > Player UI : Gestures : UN-CHECK Song Change Gestures....
that did it for me... afterwards... I can change songs back forth all day and no problem.... I know the swipe is cool... but i can live without it...
the thing is if you enable lock screen in poweramp... the swipe still works while lock screen is on... who knows... all i know is that i no longer have problem going track to track now....

[Q] skipping sound when listening to music

hi. I've got an L9 recently, compared to many negative reviews I'm satisfied with it, but when I listen to music via earphones, music sometimes skips for less than a second, usually once or twice per song, then it goes on from where it stopped. I have tried it on stock and cm11 too. funny thing is I have no problem via speaker, not even when I play big games like GTASA. As I said it's not something I can't live with, I'm just curious if anyone else has this bug. I'm using Panasonic inear earphones btw, with no DSP manager etc enabled. I have also tried several players. thanks for any replies.

still nothing? I will try player pro tomorrow, it has cpu priority and very high buffer size settings, hopefully those will fix it. also when I greenified every app in its hibernation list the problem mostly disappeared.. maybe also should try performance governor when listening to music.
It's just so damn annoying that a mid-range phone with 1gb ram has this bug, I also read many people with Galaxy Nexus have problems like this, which has a very similar CPU.

Music Playback problem

Hi guys,
I'm having horrible time with my s3 international version ever since I have upgraded to 4.1+. The issue is music player stutters while playing audio. It doesn't happen with video paybacks but only with music. It constantly stutters for a second or two like a broken cd or something. I can't believe a quad core processor can't handle background music playback! Can you please help? It's driving me crazy!

If using custom kernel then try changing governor... I prefer pegasusq... It happens mostly with the governors which take cpu into deep sleep very fast like zzmoove...
If you are using viper4android then also sane thing could solve that problem...
If not then there is a thread in general section or here only try searching that.. Many users have been experiencing this problem after updating to 4.3...

Latest stock 4.3 cures most sleep issues, although I never had that problem on 4.1

I am running stock 4.3 non rooted! Should I give it to Samsung? I can't understand how Samsung released such a bad software update!!

Audio bug. Does custom rom (aur) fix it?

Basically guys my z2 has the Netflix and games audio delay bug.
Try it yourself when watching Netflix sound is about 0.5 seconds out.
Would a custom rom fix this? If yes I'm doing it today.

i tested headphones with netflix, but built in speaker with games...
did u try turning off the noise cancelling? I could imagine, that this produces a little delay.
