Audio problems in Android KitKat 4.4.1

[fprietog]

Hello, here is a little bug report,

two of the audio drives doesn't works well in KitKat because them produces really nasty cracks every few seconds. The affected audio drivers are "AudioTrack (native)" and "OpenSL ES". The audio driver "AudioTrack (Java)" works well (at least, it seems to).

I've a nexus 4 and a nexus 10, both with Android KitKat 4.4.1. The problem is more noticeable in the nexus 10 while watching any video.

If there is any way to help you to find and solve it (logs, tests, etc) don't hesitate to ask me


Thank you very much and best regards.

Hi, i have a galaxy note 3 kitkat rom and i was playing movies with vlc without problems. One day i was showing a movie to a friend and suddenly the speaker stop sound. And start the headset notification not been conected, this issue still. I cleaned the conector, the jack, made a wipe data, install a new rom, astock rom, a custom rom, etc. and nothing happend.
It´s possible that this issue had been occured because some bug of VLC ?
Actually my phone is like new, never have been dropped, moistured, nothing.
Thanks for read me. Sorry my bad english.

No. VLC simply passes data to the Android OS which then passes them to the drivers who finally output sound.

VLC cannot break mobile speakers by itself. You should contact your manufacturer.
