I posted this over at another android forum and got a good amount of views, but no responses. Hopefully we'll see some here:
I have a strange audio-related issue on my Droid Charge.
This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, I can't seem to track down the cause. When these problems happen, they tend to all happen at the same time as far as I can tell.
I have two custom tones I use, one for the phone ringtone and one for my text message notification. They work just fine, but suddenly and without warning they will stop working. So if my phone rings, it is just totally silent. If I go in to the settings to select a ringtone and choose my custom one, it is dead silent. If I choose any of the other ones that are on my phone, they play with no problem.
I have google voice as my voice mail provider. Sometimes when I go to check my voicemail, I get an error message that says "failed to download recording"

When I go to play music, I'll sometimes get the error that says "Error playing the requested track"

And this happens with every song in my library (not that i've tested them ALL, but just randomly picking songs out of my list they will all fail in the same way.)
I've noticed that some audio will still work - for example, the sounds in the game "Word With Friends" still works. The sound in the game "FieldRunners" still works. However, the sound in "Angry Birds" does NOT. Also, My email notification (which is NOT a custom sound) still comes through no problem.
If I reboot my phone, everything works just fine right up until it decides to fail again - which could be ANY time - I've had it work fine for a few days before.
I had done some searching on these problems, but didn't really find many related posts (here & general google searching). I found one thread where people were talking about downloading and using SDrescan and it fixed their problems. I did that and it does not help.
I really hate missing calls because I can't hear them. (Fortunately I haven't missed too many.) Then when I do check, I can't hear the voice mail message the caller left from google voice (unless I go to the web interface - then it will play through Moboplayer, but not through the Music app)
I have Rooted and ROMmed my phone, but just FYI, I did have the problem with the ring tones when everything was stock (I just got the phone on July 2). I didn't even set up google voice mail or put music on my phone before I had rooted it. I am using the GummyCharged ROM (v1.9).
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Thank you - and let me know if any more information is needed to help diagnose this.
EDIT: I also just noticed that if I launch the amazon MP3 store, I cannot listen to any samples - there's no error message - the sample just never plays. The Amazon mp3 store player will also not successfully play any of my music that is stored locally - it just says "error playing song". I also have 2 songs stored in the amazon cloud - it will not play those, either and it gives the same message "error playing song."
