[Q] Popping Sound when using head phone amp - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

I get a popping sound when I'm using my headphone amp. It happens when I switch to a different Youtube video or skip forward or back when using the Dish Anywhere App. It also happens when starting a video or switching apps. It doesn't while playing a video, just when you switch to a different video or forwarding a video in certain apps.
It's very annoying because it sort of loud and lowering the volume doesn't lower the popping sound. I watch sports on my tablet via Dish Anywhere app and every time I do a 30sec skip to skip the commercial I get a popping sound. Without the amp, you can hear the pop faintly but it's so low it's not annoying.
If never used an headphone amp, get one. It makes the sound experience awesome. Music sounds great, movies sounds great and you would have no idea how much bass can come out of an earphones. You can feel the bass in your ears like you had subwoofers hooked up. I have a Fiio amp.
btw, I just got my Tab pro 8.4 upgrading from a Nexus 7 2013 for a bigger screen and did not have this problem at all.
Anyone had this problem, if yes, where you able to fix it. I have my sound configured not to make any sounds when touching the screen and tried turning off the system sound.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's the device itself..., I also have terrible sound quality when I connect it to my car via the audio-jack. (CM12 with PowerAMP)

Audio Hiss Problems on the One X?

Couldn't see a specific topic on this issue so thought I'd start one up.
In certain situations I'm getting a very noticeable amount of audio hiss when playing sound over headphones via the One X. So far I've tried the following headphones with the following results:-
Apple iPod headphones - low level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sennheiser HD 457 Open back Headphones - very low level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by a slightly audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sennheiser MM50 earphones with Mic - high level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Sony DR-BT22 Bluetooth Headphones - very high level of hiss when any sound being played (music, streaming radio or volume up/down chime) followed by an audible crackle as the hiss stops around 0.5 to 1 second after the sound stops.
Is anyone else able to replicate these issues? Is this something that can be fixed in software? The constant hiss and crackle when using my preferred headphones is really starting to annoy me
I'm not getting any hiss with my sennheiser 555s - in fact, its quite transparent at all volumes. There is a slight pop about 1 second after ending a track on any player - stock music app, doubletwist, grooveshark

Noticed this as well at low volume on speech based Podcasts, it's really annoying.
Different headphones seem to filter it out better but with my usual in the ear headphones it is unbearable.
So the One X does not seem to be better than my own SGS2.
Oh well, I was thinking of getting this. Would probably skip it now. I don't have hopes of LG or Huawei or Motorola delivering something to rival this or the SGS3, so I will probably wait for the SGS3.
Yes, I've noticed this too, with my Bose QC 3's. I assumed it was something to do with the noise cancelling on the headphones but maybe it's a fault with the device?

I get a whine on my car speakers that I didn't get on my desire, only when there is no audio playing though

Same problem with my Sennheiser CX300II
I don't know if it's hardware or software...
Got some new headphones this morning (JVC HAFX1X) and with these the hiss is sooooo bad
Same here. It went good untill i plugged phone into the charger. Every 2 minutes it hisses..
Then rebooted phone while charging, problem gone.
Mine is charging now and I'm listening to music for the last 4 hours - I don't hear anything.
Could it depend on the player used?
My headphones do not have any active noise cancellation.
I don't listen to music so I can't comment on that but I do notice an audible pop / crack noise sometimes when a sound is played. It doesn't happen all the time but a good example is when I use Twitter and pull it down to refresh. There are two sound effects that play, one as you pull it down and one as it refreshes. The noise happens after you pull it down for the first sound only. I'm only mentioning it here in case the two are related as I've not seen anyone else mention a pop / crack noise.
Sounds like audio processing thread is being run at too low priority.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 sound/headphones issue

Loving my Galaxy Note 2, but I do have a few minor niggles regarding the stock Music Player that I'm hoping someone may be able to help with. I'm on stock firmware btw.
#1 Headphone play button often does not respond if left in pause mode for over a few minutes.
Allow me to explain - I'm at my desk at work listening to music with the stock music program. I get a phone call on my work phone so I click the headset button to pause the music. I finish my call and press the headset button to resume music. No response. Sometimes if I click once, twice or three times more it will start playing again. It's like the phone enters a sleep mode that won't respond straight away.
#2 Music EQ gets lost when something else happens on the phone.
For example, if I unplug my headphones to go for a walk to another part of the office. I return moments later, plug my headphones back in but the EQ is all messed up. Almost sounds like you’re in a tunnel. If I click the EQ button it immediately reverts to the correct EQ setting. This can also be simulated on demand by having music playing, swipe your hand over the screen to take a screenshot (music fades out, there is a camera click sound), then when the music fades back in it has gone into that tunnel EQ sound. Again, clicking the EQ button sorts the issue out.
I have considered moving to a different music program instead. I've tried Google Music (which has it's own bugs like album art disappearing), Winamp etc but for some reason the stock player's EQ settings (custom extended with Bass on 2, and Clarity on 1) make my Sony headphones respond far better than the EQ's in the other programs. And you can put a spot of reverb on the music as well which sounds ace.
No one else has these problems? Does no one use the Note 2 for music listening?

I have had some issues with my Note 2 also. Coming from Htc One XL with beats audio which some people don't like, however I did. Whenever I plug my headphones in the sound quality is just not as good but compared to HTC output sound is so much better.
Ive tried Original settings with phone plus added beats mods, but neither are producing same I quality I had with HTC phone, which is a pain as I do listen to music regularly on my phone. Not sure if makes big difference but thought I'd better mention I'm using in ear phones not headphones.
similar issue here.. sometimes the headset next/pause button works.. sometimes it doenst.. looks like once the phone sleeps it doesnt want to respond .. but response if i wake up ,, which is just stupid.

[Q] BIG ISSUE: Music cutting out from notification

Ok say my previous phones were both Nexus devices, when I listen to music and sound is on it would lower the music volume and play the notification sound. Now on my Galaxy S3 when it comes in it completely cuts out and this is VERY annoying for an avid music listener. Is there a way to fix this?
I've seen online I can use power AMP and I will be good but I would like to use the Samsung Music Player.
I also know I can set it to vibrate to stop the sound from going off but the thing is, I like hearing the sound I just hate it completely cutting out the music. Any ideas would be useful!

[Q] Sudden pause while listening to music

While listening to music on the play music app, watching on youtube, and doing other stuff on the tablet that generate sounds, I noticed a sudden pause/lag during screen rotation. Does anyone experience this?
Note: I am on JSS15Q
Thanks.
This does not occur when listening through headphones, but only out loud.

Yep, getting the same. It's just a momentary pause, but it's annoying - pretty sure the N7 is just about powerful enough to play music and rotate the screen....
Not sure if it's a ROM or a kernel issue. I rooted and flashed within an hour of opening the box, so don't know if it was present on stock as well.
I have a theory. When listening in portrait, the two speakers at the bottom are playing in stereo. When you flip to landscape the speakers at the bottom become the right side audio, and the speaker near the top becomes the left side audio. So it takes a moment for the tablet to adjust the output.

[Q] Crackling/Popping sound coming from my galaxy tab pro's speaker.HELP!

So i bought my wife a tablet for school. However we keep hearing this crackling sound/popping sound coming from the speaker when playing youtube videos, playing games such as jungle heat. It is really annoying because when we are watching videos we can hear the sound. If anyone could help us, I really appreciate it. This is the 3rd time we exchange this device but the result is still the same. I dont know if its just me. Thank You!
Can you post some music or a movie from youtube where you ARE sure you hear a lot of crackling? Just so we can check it out ourselves?
I have yet to experience this at all. It is weird if you have had that issue on 3 devices now. Do you have bass boosts or equalizer on?

I can make a video but like i said you wont be ablet to hear it. Its just a random popping sound coming from the speaker. If i record it, you wont be able to hear it because the sound of the game. The popping sound comes from playing intense video games such as jungle heat and wathing youtube videos. Thanks for you reply and i really appreciate it

Give me a youtube movie or clip of music. Not your recording mate. Just something original that makes it pop. A name of a song or a video. Doesn't matter. Do the people you talk about have the same tablet as you? Or random?

ok no problem
If it is a hardware issue then Samsung should repair it if it is within the year warranty. Best buy should cover it if it is pretty new as well.
Are you running stock System? Have you checked to make sure you are up to date? Install Kies3 on your computer and see if it finds any updates.

I don't hear any popping or crackling sounds from my tab pro 8.4 I have tested with its internal Speakers, The Headphone jack, and using a bluetooth headset / headphones.
Does it have this problem when you plugin headphones or is it only the speakers? if it does it on all audio outputs then its most likely some kind of interference happening first try the headphone jack which is analog like the speakers.., bluetooth is digital with a2dp so it probably won't happen on that (though this could also be a temporary solution to use bluetooth external speaker or headphones)-
If it is interference then you need to find the source and hope it is coming from your own house , best way to find interference is to either unplug everything you can find or go to the house circuit breaker box and switch off the main switch this will turn off all electric in your house then use the tablet and play back a video /audio you have saved to the internal memory and see if it still happens.
Many people have this problem (including me). Any time the app you are using has something that emits sounds (even if you have muted your sound), you can hear crackling based on how heavy the CPU is working. It is most likely interference coming from the CPU. Not much anyone can do about it, except for Samsung. It would probably need a rework of the components though, that's why a simple replacement of the speakers will most likely not work. As soon as you put something in your 3.5mm jack though, the crackling should stop. (Most likely because the speakers get turned off physically instead of just being digitally muted) So really, the best we can hope for is we can find someone who may be able to create an app that emulates the headphone jack being used whenever the sound is muted. At least the crackling stops when the sound is muted then.

It happens when im playing intense gaming such as jungle heat. Whenever i play jungle heat for 15 mins straight pop sound comes. When i plug an earphone i dont hear anything.
Trya playing jungle heat for 15 mins you might hear a popping sound coming from the speaker.
I have Samsung tab s5 e .. I have similar issue whenever watching netflix ,hotstar ,or some spotify songs ..I'm hearing like a cracking sound at one of the top left speaker ..I tried going to safe mode ..but still able to hear it ,,did a factory reset ,for a while it was good but later on it started .I'm not hearing this sounds in headphones ,it's really annoying ..while watching videos with intense music ..
