Help Audio File Issue.

[mrdizzyfingers]

Some of my audio won't play thru headphone jack. Thought I may have damaged the phone but my buddy had the same issue with his S3 also. Some of the problem audio was transferred from my Mac, and some were purchased from Amazon. Was using the stock music player app with stock and 3rd party headphones and with aux cables. Any advice? It's pretty embarrassing being in the quiet car on an Amtrak train and suddenly music comes blaring out of your phone speaker.

Yeah if youre listnin to justin beiber lol
what do you mean by "some" of your audio? Is it certain tracks or does it just randomly happen?

I'm not sure it's random. I downloaded an album from Amazon that doesn't play thru the headphone jack and from time to time, other mp3's won't play thru the jack either. It's not random in a way because it's always the same songs with the issue. All mp3's that won't play thru the headphone jacks just won't and no back and forth. It can't be an issue with the files themselves because most of these files I've had for a few years on the same memory card on different devices and I've never had this issue before. My friend downloaded the same album from Amazon to his S3 and had the same issue.

Thats really strange then. I thought at first it was gona be a hardware issue with the headphone juck but it obv isnt that
When you look at the Ext Sd Card in a file explorer on the phone, are the dodgy tracks in a different folder from the ones that work properly?

My mp3's are organized in folders according to styles of music, other than the Amazon purchases, which makes it really simple to make playlists. So I can be listening to my old school hip hop folder/playlist, then all of a sudden, one song drops out of the headphones and starts blaring out of the speaker. I'll skip to the next song which will play thru the headphones and everything will be good for a while then, bam, another song is blaring out of the speaker.
