Hi,

Since a few days my phone is making a annoying noise while playing music or watching a video. It kinda sounds like a little fracture in a cable or when you keep your phone close to a speaker or old television, but then for 0.5 second. It also happens irregularly and also happens when using headphones. I'm using Viper xHifi, but it doesn't make a difference when it's turned off. Does anyone know what it is and how to solve it?

Thanks

When it started, did something happen? Like .. did you drop your phone? or ... maybe just installed a new application? .. maybe changed the kernel settings?

Also, which ROM/kernel are you using?

I have been having this exact same issue on my nexus 4 and nexus 5... Both phones are rooted, stock rom, and on the latest version of Franco kernel. I have been looking all over for a solution but nothing yet...

I'm currently using psx kit Kat, it started suddenly. I haven't recently installed an app that possibly could have any influence on the sound. I think I've had it earlier and flashing a new rom fixed it, but I currently don't want to switch roms and I think it's strange that it happens so sudden.

I switched from franco to hellscore and it got a little better... Now it only seems to happen in YouTube. Will keep trying different kernels and keep you posted

Only happened to me once using Poweramp with headphones. Never happened in Google music or via Bluetooth/speaker.

I've got a bluetooth speaker for a few days now and with that one I don't hear that sound. But it still happens with my phone speaker and headphones, regardless of which app.

Maybe it has something to do with the music buffer size? I don't know how to increase it but a hiccup like this sounds like the buffer might be set too small and it's this split part of a second sometimes it takes to reload the next piece of music into the buffer?

In Poweramp go to settings/audio and search for the audio buffer setting and set it to highest. See if this helps.

OK, was worth a try. Poweramp is weird in some things anyway. For me, v4a doesn't work with Poweramp when using headphones. Only on speaker and Bluetooth.

About your issue. I have been using viper audio and had similar problem. The only thing that solves the problem was exchanging one file. I don't remember the name of that file but I'll try to find it for you.

On slimkat thread someone write that deletin dsp manager should resolve my issue. I will report later if it worked.

Same thing happens when playing music with poweramp through a headphone jack. It's kind of like a 1 second screeching or something, quite annoying.
