[Assign Preset sets Android Auto output as Speaker output]

Doesn't seem like there's a difference in that view. Both indicate the same preset and the same output device. Attached is the screenshot for when playing music through Android Auto

[Assign Preset sets Android Auto output as Speaker output]

Build number: build-976-bundle-play

Device: Pixel Fold

Version: Android 14 (but this has been happening before 14)

Steps to reproduce:

When I turn on my car, and then my phone connects through Android Auto (wired or wireless), the Poweramp preset switches to Speaker preset

 

Is it possible to have Android Auto added as an output, and/or simply disassociating Android Auto as speaker?

[Android13 infinite crashes]

I have the same issue, but I think i know the cause, and can recreate it easily. The issue for me was that some songs didn't have album art. Essentially any song that had 'Unknown artist' obviously won't have album art. So when it came time to play the song it lead to crashing my phone over and over until it rebooted itself.

I 'fixed' it by giving it an artist and manually choosing the album art.

Hope this helps find the root cause!

 

Pixel 5a here btw. Updated to Android 13 and latest version of Poweramp possible: build-939, play

Last few lines is me spamming the power button. This is after disconnected from the headunit. I've almost every setting I could navigate to, but nothing works. Android Auto folks don't believe me or keep sending me the same generic advice so maybe here will help
