Music skips and stutters over bluetooth

I use the default music player with a bluetooth speaker & in the car. The music will go quiet like a skipping track, but the music doesn't stop, it comes back in at the right point of the song. It's just as though it's randomly muted. I have looked online for fixes & I've cleared the cache partition twice. This helps the issue for a couple weeks, but doesn't fix it. I've had this issue since I bought the phone in early December of 2014. What should I do?

I understand your reasoning, but I'm almost positive this isn't my problem. I keep the phone in the cup holder, directly under the stereo. Also, my car is a 2013 model, so it isn't like my stereo system is outdated. Thanks for your reply.

Iphone Music player skips and stutters with MP3s

With the upgrade to iOS 5 (and 5.0.1) on my iPhone 3GS (32GB) I began to notice skips and stutters on numerous MP3s about 10 to 30 seconds into the song. I don't remember having any problems prior to iOS5 upgrade.
The skips and stutters are somewhat reproducible in that, if I hear the skip or stutter, if I go back to the beginning of the song and play the song again, the skip or stutter will happen in approximately the same spot and will be of approximately the same nature (a repeated phrase or a jump or a distortion) but it isn't exactly the same.
Most of my songs are 256kbps VBR MP3s ripped either by iTunes from my own CDs or purchased from Amazon.
The facts (1) that the skip/stutter/or distortion is not exactly the same each time (2) the skips and stutters seem localized to the first 10 to 30 seconds of the song, then they play fine afterward, (3) that I don't have problems playing these songs under iTunes on my MacBook pro, and (4) it happens both with iTunes ripped MP3s and Amazon MP3s, would seem to be some form of OS problem rather than coding error. My guess would be some form of buffering issue or OS scheduling issue.
Has anyone else noticed these problems?

I experienced the same problem with my Iphone 5 skipping and not playing the music in my library correctly. I called apple and they gave me a solution that worked so far.
The problem in my case was created by restoring the new phone from icloud. Apparently, if you have a lot of music or data, the music files don't completely download.
Of course, make sure your music is backed up before starting
Solution: connect iphone to itunes / select the music tab / uncheck sync music altogether / hit apply or sync (this should remove all music files from your phone) / when completed, re-check the sync entire music library or select your custom playlists-songs you want on your phone / then click apply or sync to put back all music on phone.
This should solve your problems

Hi I have a HP ENVY 15-j185nr and My speakers audio keeps skipping and stuttering and i can see in the beats audio control panel that it fluctuates in the levels between the Bass and Treble and also The Volume. Now When I connect my Beats Wireless Headphones to My Computer i have no problem with the audio on the bluetooth side but when i connect the headphones on the wired side and plug it into the computer audio jack the audio is playing from both headphones and speakers and it is STILL skipping and Stuttering. My Computer OS was 8.1 Enterprise when this Problem Occured and since then I've updated to Windows 10 Enterprise by Doing a clean install hoping that this will fix the problem but it didn't After i updated my windows OS I can now see in the Device Manager in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers Category that my High Definition Audio Device have a yellow triangle exclamation point icon under it and its device status says This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful.

Is this a simple fix or do i have to take it in and get it fix by a computer tech? can anybody please help me?

Hi,
Try the following
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
Chipset Driver - Windows 8.1
When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook by holding down the Shift key as you click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot. Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

ITunes skips and stutters

Itunes skips and stutters, and the program locks up and won't close, requiring me to use the task manager to stop the "program that is not responding". I have deleted itunes and then downloaded it again, but I have the same problem. Everthing else works fine and both Norton and Advanced SystemCare6 indicate there are no viruses or anything. Has anyone been able to correct this problem? Thanks! I don't want to go back to Windows Media Player!!! (Note: Version 11.1.0.126)

Yes, it's just untenable. I hate to leave iTunes behind, but I can't deal with this situation. Are you going to scrap iTunes and go back to WMP, or do you have a better program in mind?

Sending music,videos and photos via Bluetooth

What can I do to receive and send music,photos and videos via Bluetooth?

For the most part, you can't do that. There are some apps that will transfer photos from one iPhone to another iPhone. Check the App Store for those.

Dvd skipping and stuttering

after i make dvd with IDVD it plays on mac dvd player without a problem. Using any other dvd player is always a problem. skipping and stuttering. installed "toast 10" and am happy with it, but very disappointed in IDVD

Hi
My list on Bad DVDs
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

Verizon galaxy nexus-music skips and static when screen is off..

What i do is download videos using youtube
downloader and convert them into mp3. Then i connect my phone to the laptop with
the usb cable. I open my computer-galaxy nexus-music, and i drag the saved mp3
from my laptop to my phone. When i disconnect the phone,I open the music app and
I listen to my music and it sounds fine when the screen is on. When the screen
is Off the music starts to skip a little and i hear static with or without
headphones. Now i used the same procedure when i load music from my laptop with
other mp3 devices and ipods and the music sounds good when the screen is on or
off with those devices. I downloaded a song from the android market and amazon,
stored it and downloaded to my phone for offline play and both songs stutter or
static when screen is off.

From the beginning, I wasn’t too impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. Why? It’s a Samsung. Would I purchase a Samsung for a basic phone? Sure, but when it comes to “top of the line” smart phones, Samsung wouldn’t be my first, second or even third choice. Now, don’t get me wrong, I contemplating parting with 299.99 to purchase the Nexus. The ics appeal outweigh some of my skepticism.. but before I buy a phone, I sit on review boards, cnet reviews, youtube reviews, etc. etc. In addition, it’s hard to trust a new phone of its kind. All the kinks (clearly) haven’t been ironed out. I, like Rushfan2112 went with the Rezound. And I LOVE it.
But do I think the Nexus is a “poor” phone? Na. Not by a long shot. Does VZW hinder the devices full potential? Of course – but we as Verizon customers should already know this – they proved so with the Iphones. Moreover, I’m a bit confused by the lack of update to the OS as well. This phone was specifically designed and released. It’s not as if we’re waiting for a complete OS change like HTC Rezound, Rhyme, & Motorola Bionic, 4 and Razr customers are. I understand that takes time because the OS has to be modified for each device. But the Nexus started with ICS, the ambiguity in the software updates is ridiculous….

Why is my itunes music skipping and how do i fix it?

my music is skipping when i play it, and it is not music that i have burned from a scratched cd, and it worked without skipping a day ago. it is not just one song, most of them skip at at least one point in time on the song. the only thing that i could think of that may have caused this is that the other day when i tried updating my ipod the cable fell out and so it was unplugged from my computer in the middle of an update, which is obviuosly bad, and then when i tried updating it again it got stuck on one song that i have since deleted. the music on my ipod that i updated works fine too. so could that have caused the problem, and how do i fix it?

Jeff, is the music skipping in iTunes? Or is it on the iPod?
If in iTunes, try this:

Problems with iTunes. Music skips and hisses. Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1.

Problems with iTunes. Music. When I put on my ear buds, I hear it more clearly. There is this skipping and hisses. If you are an old (50)audiophile like I was when I was young, it sounds sort of like a record is skipping on my turntable. When I try to play a song it skips, jumps around and the Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1. Help!!! Thanks in advanced. Spike

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

Music skips and pauses during work out

Ciao a tutti,
I like to use my iPhone when I'm working, stapping it to my arm with an XtremMac SportWrap, and listening to my playlists.
I'm running for about 40 minutes and usually about halfway through my workout, or towards the end, the music starts wigging out. It pauses, then skips ahead to the next track, pauses again, on and on. Sometimes it just stops playing and I have to hit play again.
After my second trip the Mac Genius he replaced it. But it's now happening to the SECOND ONE!
My fear is that it's a corrupt music file, which would kill me because I have over 20,000 songs in my iTunes. The other possibility is maybe it's heating up too much during my work out. ???
Has anybody had this problem before!

One thing you might take a look at.
be conscience of any moisture getting in the microphone on the earbud cables when your working out.
This could cause the contacts to short out and as a result the music could start pausing, or skipping.
Hope this helps.

Is skipping and stuttering the famed Dropped Frames...

Been pulling hair ever since upping to QT 7.0.3 and FCP 5.0.3. All of a sudden my former 4.5 clips are acting crazy in 5. Even when I just open them in QT the ones captured since updates act crazy. Old clips play fine. Did the 7.0.1 reInstall, dumped QT preferences, but still get stuttering action. JUST curious if this is the famed demonic dropped frame symptom?

Open the clips in FCP, and play them frame by frame over the skipping parts. Look at the timecode numbers. Do they jump as well? If so...dropped frames.

IPhone - music skipping and pausing - headset problem?

I've noticed a problem when I've been out on a run with my iPhone. Late in the run the music will stop and start and skip around. I suspect the problem is in the Apple headset. I think sweat is getting into the mouthpiece/pause-advance gismo and sending false signals to the iPhone. I've also noticed (during runs) that the pause-advance feature is inconsistant; sometimes it advances, sometimes not.
I would like to upgrade the headset to the V-Moda Vibe headset as soon as those are available with the call receive/hangup function.
Has anyone else noticed these problems.

that's funny... that just occured to me last night... thought the phone was buggin out so i restored it... shoulda just did a search on the forums... now i have to reinstall all my 3rd party apps...
i was also at the gym sweatin to the oldies when this occurred... and i do believe it's the head set... i understand the pausing and playin, but sometimes the song will change back and forth and what not... very strange behavior....

Music skips and stops and starts

Hello, we have just got a nano to replace a 3rd gen iPod.
I have around 50 gigs of music on a lacie USB drive, and the music plays flawlessly from here in iTunes.
However once imported into the nano, there is distortion, jumps and clicks in the music and sometimes the song will just stop and start from the beginning.
Any ideas?
