hendrikach Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The skipping when playing audio tracks and the distortion (a "screeching" sound remotely similar to what happens to speaker phones when a mobile phone is placed next to them) that others have reported in other threads was getting too bad for me so this is a sad day - I decided to de-install Poweramp. This problem was spoiling all the fun because at some point, you start to wait (and dread) the next audio problem instead of listening to what is going on in the music.So for the time being, no more Poweramp for me. This is a real pity because:- The sound quality itself (minus the skipping and distortion) was excellent - I am going to miss it.- I am not sure there is another player out there with replaygain support. This was the main reason for me to choose Poweramp. I love listening to music in shuffle mode, but I cannot stand the constant changes in volume.I am now back to using the stock player in ICS, listening to albums instead of all tracks in shuffle mode (so I don't have to adjust the volume with every song). I may choose another player with a bit more eye candy and better lockscreen support, but there is no real point in doing that without replaygain support.I am hoping this bug - which seems to affect some devices running ICS or higher, according to other threads - can be solved soon so I can go back to using Poweramp.My phone is an LG L7, running ICS with all updates provided by LG.

Magadaner Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Please try setting higher priority in Poweramp Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks => Audio Thread Priority and Audio Buffer Size.Try it and let us know if it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond555 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 this is what happens when the devloper is busy on translation to languagesnobody speaks instead of improving the product and the somehow clumsy UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrikach Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I tried the settings suggested above, but no joy. Right now, I am using a different device running Android 2.3, and no problems there so far. However, at some point, I will return to using a phone based on ICS or higher, and it would be great if someone could look into this problem again.Thanks for your support!

maxmp Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Sorry, but we just can't reproduce the issue for latest build on the same LG L7 or other devices. There is a FAQ entry regarding skipping, generally it applies, provided that the latest builds are installed.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marn967 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I agree and having major skipping issues these days. have tried suggested settings and no improvement. have reverted to HTC music player which doesn't skip. Shame as liked power amp interface and balance setting option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
