On my phone especially, when I play a audio or video file, it will sometimes cut the audio for the first second or so. I have found online that it's a persistent issue with no fix and the developers haven't done anything about it. Do others have this issue and are there alternative media players I can use that don't have issues?
Check out next player. Very light weight but has a lot of features
