[Q] Sound and Video Problem topic

Hello~ >.< So I'm not really sure how to explain this problem much as I don't understand its origin, but I have been having a problem with my sound and video.
I don't really use my tablet for much except watching shows from apps like Viki, Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube, and I don't travel with it. Starting yesterday my sound began to act very weird... I had been on Netflix when I first noticed it and for some reason all of the voices were unusually deep. I had turned on my computer to check if it was just that video, but on my computer everything was normal. I tried to restart my tablet and then a new problem came up. Not only were my videos now producing no sound, but they also we're playing VERY fast.. what was supposed to be a 15 second ad became 2 according to the timer. Thinking again that it may just be Netflix, I tried other apps like Hulu for example. With Hulu, the video wouldn't really load at all. It played the ad as mentioned above, but when the video came up, the screen remained black and silent before telling me that Hulu has crashed. I tried this a few times, but no luck. Thinking over the possibility that the speaker blew out, I tried using three different types of headphones, and tried all of my apps again, but still nothing. I previously had looked up this problem, but I could not find a matching thread so I decided that whatever happened could be fixed by a factory reset, which I tried, but to just my luck, it did nothing.. again. Hoping it would just go away, I also tried leaving it alone for awhile x.x which was almost a given to not work... and now I'm completely out of ideas :/ Has anyone else experienced an issue like this and would know any way I could fix it? If possibly I'd really like to know how as I do not have the budget to buy a new one at the moment >.< If any additional information is required, please feel free to ask.

Edit: Also forgot to mention that my notification sound has stopped too >_< All volume is set a bit over half..

[Q] Surround Sound Support in Kodi topic

I am using Kodi on my Fire TV and noticed that the movies are only playing in stereo mode. The Dolby settings on the Fire TV itself are set to automatic and trailers play in surround sound. Are there settings in Kodi that need to be modified? Any help is appreciated!

[Q] No sound problem, almost always... topic

Hi to all,
I've a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (SM-T310) with a very strange audio problem.
When I switch on or restart my tablet the audio doesn't work also if all the volume settings are at the maximum and the sound is enabled (no mute).
The audio hw of my tablet is not definitely dead because, in the last 6/7 days it worked again 3 times for some minutes:
-) after the installation of an app (Clean Master)
-) after a reboot of the tablet
-) after I connected the device to my PC by an USB cable
In all of these 3 cases all the apps that used audio/music (like the Youtube app) ran slowly.
In all of these 3 cases, however, the audio stopped working again after a reboot of the tablet or after that I muted and re-enabled the sound.

In the last hours I tried to debug this issue with adb and into the logs (adb logcat), when the audio doesn't work, I found this error:
E/AudioHardwareTinyALSA( 1798): Failed to pcm_write(0x4297e7e0, 0x43071008, 4096) = -1 : cannot write stream data: I/O error
I also discovered that "Mediaserver" process use 17% of my battery... it's the second one after the screen.

On Internet I haven't found anything about it. :crying:
Is there here someone that know what's happening to my tablet?
Is it a hw problem?
I've already tried to reset to factory default but the problem is still here.
Some ideas?
Do you need other info or logs?

Thanks! :o

Info about my tablet:
Model number: SM-T310

Sound boost? topic

Hey guys, I'm loving my AM7 (TL10 model) so far, save for root issues, I'm only having one other problem - sound boost.

I live in NYC and ride the subway often, so the sound volume isn't near high enough for me. Is there anything I can do in terms of modifying system files in order to raise the cap that's set? This may be a deal breaker for me, and I'll have to return the phone if I can't since music is extremely important.

[Q] How to disable battery charged sound? topic

The Moto E loudly lets you know when the battery is fully charged. Not very handy when you're charging it overnight and you're trying to sleep.
Any way to turn that off?

Thanks in advance!

[Q] Boot sound not playing topic

Hi there,

For some reason my phone doesn't seem to be play a boot sound.
Now I went ahead and looked in /system/media/audio/ui and a PowerOn.ogg wasn't present.
I added my own powerOn.ogg file yet that didn't seem to help. I have a rooted phone and successfully changed the boot animation.
But instead of a nice boot sound to go along with it it just vibrates twice before showing the boot animation.

Please help!

No sound topic

All of a sudden, without making any changes, my sound quit, sorta. Twice today on BT I lost sound, but turning off the BT and back on fixed it. Then I have no sound on phone calls, but speakerphone works, no sound on music player, but ringtones work. Stock, rooted, Franco kernel, viper audio. Tried uninstalling viper, no luck. Tried wiping data and nandroid restore, no luck. Wiped cache and dalvik, fixed permissions, no luck.

While trying everything I have found a solution to fix ringtone on latest cm11 where it is started ringing on call now.

I thought to share because it will be helpful for all because latest build is awesum with new kernel tweaks and I can't feel any lag at all.some might be away from did experience because of sound bug.

Steps to follow
1 Go to phone setting
2 than profile
3 you can create new profile but I made changes in default one only
4 Change ring volume level as u want,I made full 7/7
5 change Ring mode to Ring here

Now when u receive a call,see the Magic

Here is screenshot to show settings that I made.

Enjoy......

[Q] Surround Sound in Gear VR topic

Hi all, I'm a 360° video content creator and I am looking to extend my work into using surround sound together with my 360° Atmosphaeres in the Gear VR.

I took a look at the 'Strangers' video and found the following file structure:
0L.wav
0R.wav
90L.wav
90R.wav
180L.wav
180R.wav
270L.wav
270R.wav
Have any of you seen this structure and if so, how are these signal sources positioned (i.e. is 90L/R on the right or on the left when looking down on it)? How are they recorded (I'm assuming 4 pairs of stereo mics)? I think I saw somewhere that the 3DIO mic records the above structure, however, it's too big (and expensive) to include in a 360 video rig.

Most importantly, how are the final signals processed, edited and embedded into the mp4 file so that they are positionally correct? The HE AAC MP4 codec supposedly can handle surround sound, however, how do we a) make sure that the front facing video is in line with the front facing audio? Also, how do we ensure that if someone is turning their head the audio will move together with video? I'm only guessing here but from the Felix & Paul demos it looks like they did a software implementation (maybe Unity?) that somehow runs in the Gear VR. Also, one thing I noticed with the F&P demos is that the audio does not react as quickly to changes of orientation as the video. Video is super fast, however, audio is lacking behind. So that too would point to a software/app that combines the video and audio.

If you want to get an idea of the content that I produce please search for 'Dream Beach 360'.

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts!

[Q] Default notification, deleted, now the ONLY sound topic

I HATE that not cute whistle on other's phones. There isn't a word for how I hate it on my vz s5 de.

I found the file in system media audio

I deleted it.

I was adding sounds files previously. I don't have any interest in sounds files on sdcard. Emulated storage might be acceptable but I want them in system media.

Now

From the volume levels adjustment reticle the only sound played by moving the notification volume slider is that stupid whistle NO matter which sound is SHOWN as selected. ALL notifications are now the stupid whistle.

Make it stop

Please

Nexus Player no sound coming from TV topic

Using my Nexus Player on my Vizo 4K smart TV and not getting any sound from anything played by the NP. Google support wasn't any help and I ended up RMAing the NP just in case it was a faulty device. Got the new one and having same issues so it's something with my NP/TV combo.

Also did do all the normal troubleshooting steps (differnt HDMI ports, different cables, verified that my cable/port worked by plugging in a console, factory reset). No external speakers so just tv speakers. only thing i didnt try was another TV.

Anyone have issues like this? Anyone running off a 4k and/or smart tv no problem? What are some other options?

[Q] Music starts playing unintentionally after sound of the notification. topic

Hello, i've got this problem right after EMUI 3.0 update. When a notification pops up - sometimes after the sound of the notification, mp3's from my internal storage starts playing. Even if no music app (or any apps) are running on the background at that time. There's no other way to stop that than bring down the ringtone volume (not media volume!) and wait a few minutes or restart the phone. It happens only about 1-2 times a day, but it's very annoying. Anyone else got this problem?

The only mention about this problem i've found is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=3427
- Sometimes music player will start playing a local file randomly when you have a different music app running like digitally imported, while using the smart cover.

Im not using the smart cover, but i've figured out that the smart cover function was set on, so i turned it off and i will see if it will get better.
