Kirk Boragine Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just wanna say Poweramp Alpha build 703 is working nicely on the HTC 10. Settings... 1. OpenSL ES output with headphones 2. Using DVC 3. Using BoomSound with Dolby Audio as well as Personal audio profile. I use a slight EQ in Poweramp. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDMou5e Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Mine fails to play after a few songs or if I switch music apps for comparison, or just for reasons I can't identify. Error message that pops up says: "Failed to play — Output failed: Poweramp Hi-Res Exp Output" Also, I noticed the option under Settings> Audio> Output> Hi-Res Output (Experimental) says that it's using the Snapdragon 24-bit PCM when HTC explicitly stated that they have their own proprietary DAC installed. Is Poweramp just detecting that DAC as such or is it somehow accessing that chip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Boragine Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Mine does the same thing on Hi-Res Output. As far as the DAC in the HTC 10, I read somewhere that they used discreet circuitry on the Snapdragon processor as apposed to integrated. Try the output settings I'm using. Sounds very rich.

Kirk Boragine Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Found some info on the DAC... https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdragon/2016/06/02/qualcomm-aqstic-sets-new-standard-audiophiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDMou5e Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Thanks for all that info. I can't seem to get it working, even with your settings. It crashes a lot on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It crashes a lot on my end. I've adjusted my settings a bit. Try these... HTC 10 settings 1. Turn on Dolby headphone effects first (this is important to do before setting up a personal audio profile). I use "other as my headphone device (VSD1S earbuds) 2. Setup Personal audio profile. Use the "listen to frequencies" option Poweramp Audio settings 1. Resampler, type SoX 2. Output, OpenSL ES, check No DVC, check No Headroom Gain 3. Advanced Tweaks, uncheck Direct Volume Control, uncheck Smooth Equalizer Presets Adjust EQ and other preferences to taste. This combination (so far) has achieved the nicest sound and stability for my HTC 10. Edit: This does not include using Hi-Res Output (experimental). That crashes for me as well. The settings I posted are just ones that work to deliver the nicest sound for me on the HTC 10 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with sane battery life. What I'd like even more is the ability to define EQ frequencies. I have a spike in my headphones around 7.6k. I need to pull that down some. The closest Poweramp gets is 8k :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filip777 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Can someone explain this to me. When using the Hi-Res output, I noticed that when I click "Info", I have 1687ms latency with the output with any earphones plugged in. Picture : http://imgur.com/a/3HrAz That is way too high because Xperia Z5 and OnePlus 3 have 280ms latency over the same output (as seen in the List of Android Devices with Hi-Res Audio Support (Internal DAC) topic). Can someone please check his HTC 10 and see if he gets the same latency with Hi-Res output in Poweramp v3 ? ///also, I noticed the the Hi-Res output works okay for me, crashes only when I pause a song and play it again immediately.

verycoolalan Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 What happens if I just play music through Poweramp without changing the settings? Seems to sound the same tbh :-/ Maybe I'm not a good enough audiophile....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to sound the same tbh :-/ Maybe I'm not a good enough audiophile....... nothing happens. You will get better sound if you enable Hi-Res output, even with mp3 songs. The funny thing is, there is big latency when a wired headset/earphones is connected. Like, when I change the preset in the equalizer, it needs around 3,2 seconds to change to that new preset. Same thing for changing the volume, changing the bass tune etc. Also the seconds do not match in the "Now playing" progress bar, like there is a delay. The other 2 outputs do not have these problems.

verycoolalan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well I have the same settings as Kirk but I have DVC enabled as it has more volume which is great. High Res Output is not loud and I hear no difference in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, when will "Volume Levels (Experimental)" be supported. I think jumping from 47% volume to 53% is too much. Need smaller increments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the high res audio fails more often though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
