Fix Audio Stuttering Problem On Xperia X10 Updated To 2.3.3 Gingerbread [Guide]
Sony Ericsson started rolling out official Android Gingerbread update for Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 couple of days back. The development community was quick to react and rooted the build with other essentials within 24 hours of release. However, there are some folks who have managed to root their Xperias updates to Gingerbread but are now facing a pretty annoying sound stuttering when playing songs, videos and during calls.
This audio stuttering is caused by some internal framework bug that has been luckily identified and corrected by some industrious XDA hackers. Apparently, zdzihu, Senior XDA member and recognized Android developer, has released a recovery flashable / installable zip that corrects this audio inconsistency situation. The XDA thread, where this hack is posted, is now flooder with users who were able to get rid of this strutting audio phenomenon on their Xperias using this fix.
It is important to understand that this fix is only for Xperia X10s and not for any other variant.
