A couple of questions:

Is your phone rooted with a custom kernel? I'm guessing it's not, but just in case this is a common problem when people use a custom kernel and undervolt the CPU.

If that's not it, how are you listening to the music? Through headphones, in your car via a 3.5mm audio cable in the headphone jack, in a car via the USB port, via bluetooth, or....? If you have the option, try a different way than what you're doing now and see if that changes anything.

Finally, where is the music your listening to (on internal storage, and external SD card, or streaming from an online source (and which one)? If the files are on your device, can you copy the same file to a different device and see if you have the same problem there?

How do i know the kernel thing? It just happens when im playing it through the speakers at the back. But when im using earphones its perfect. I have all my mp3 files on my sd card and all of them are 320 kbps so i guess my mp3s are not at fault here..

Have you tried a different set of headphones? Perhaps the input jack or wires are faulty.

If you didn't root your phone and change the Kernel, then don't worry about that. If it's only on the speaker, I think you're just dealing with an audio amp and speaker that's really designed for voice (speakerphone), and not high fidelity music.

You can try that. Troubleshooting problems starts with easy and inexpensive working up to costly and complex.

Replacing the charger fixed your audio problems? Will wonders never cease.

If you are using the Samsung charger it is a 1amp charger. There is circuitry in the phone that will not allow it to go over 1 amp. That said if it charges slower using the Samsung charger it may be a bad USB cable. Just saying.
