I'm posting this as a new thread because I think it's getting buried down
under the original date and no one is seeing it. If i'm wrong, sorry, and
please let me know.


I was traveling when I wrote this original post. When I returned I installed
TCPMP. The problem is slightly better but not gone. There is another
situation where the audio will come out in fractional secon bursts once a
second. So it's like it's playing 1/10 speed in 1/10 second of normal audio
followed by a 9/10 second pause. Happens with both TCPMP and WMP.

Someone mentioned replacing the bluetooth stack. I searched but can't find
where to get that or if it's even available for my Samsung i320. Any ideas?

Also, someone mentioned overclocking my phone's CPU. Any ideas how to do
that?

Thanks...

Could this be a resource conflict of some sort?

Media player does something similar to me if I'm listening to music via blue
tooh and have my wifi net card enabled at the same time. If I disable the
wifi card, music through bluetooth is just fine.

My phone doesn't have wifi. I have made sure that no other tasks are active
when I have the problem.

I will try turning off the phone and see if the music plays smoothly.
However, this isn't really a good solution because I can't leave my phone
off just to play music.

Well I made the test with the phone turned off. I still have the problem.
It's bad enough when I listen to a podcast but it really makes listening to
music not worthwhile.
