don't try to emulate real speakers (which is a lost cause anyway...)
Why would that be ? Yes, Crossfeed does simulate only a tiny part of the effects real speakers have. But for example Samsungs Sound Alive has an option that promises "Fat Surround Sound". Not that I would like to have that "Fat" sound, but it shouldn't be impossible to simulate room acoustics by adding some reverb to the crossfeed.

please check the Meier version that only needs a single cursor/knob
A proposal as to how this could be done without much changes to the UI :
- use the existing StereoX knob, default would be the middle position, meaning "Off"
- turning it to the right would switch on and increase StereoX
- turning it to the left would switch on and increase crossfeed
There are 3 typical settings provided together with the BS2B crossfeed. They change the 2 parameters by increasing the one and decreasing the other. Shouldn't be too problematic to implement that with a single control.

I recently discovered the slider control under the menu item "remember position" There is no explained instruction as to proper setting for this control. I have tried it at zero and at 60 minutes. It seems that counter intuitively, the zero setting is the one that works. Another question. If the app is closed completely (not just left as a background) would this turn off the app's ability to return to the previous file position when re-initiated?
The slider "Track Duration ..." says below "At least ...". That means : this works for tracks that are AT LEAST that long. Set it to 60 min, and the last position in a track that is 59 min long won't be remembered. For longer tracks it will be remembered.
This position is remembered permanently in the database and won't be affected by a closing, complete or otherwise, of the application.

Please add Crossfeed option.
+1
Tried it on Neutron, works better for headphones than StereoX IMHO

I would assume that with DVC on, Poweramp has more processing headroom than it does with DVC off.
If that were the case one would expect the music to become louder when DVC is switched OFF.
But it's the other way round : the music gets louder when I switch DVC ON.
I found a theory as to what DVC does in https://www.head-fi.org/threads/best-android-music-player-app.638387/page-2
That's the Direct Volume Control feature kicking in. It adjusts the system volume such that if you do boosts in the graphic EQ, what it does instead is boost the system volume then apply EQ cut to everything except the boosted band.
That might explain both the vanishing distortions and the higher volume level with DVC on.
-
I tried to find out what exactly the limiter does and how it affects distortion. On my Samsung S7 with Oreo and build 823 ( high-res, sampling rate 44.1 kHz, wired headphones ) I chose a song ( mp3, 44.1 kHz ) with a significant amount of bass.Then I activated Tone and EQ and set the bass in both to maximum level, including the eq-preamp. I expected to hear distortions, which would then be diminished after I would have activated the limiter. I would try that both for DVC and non-DVC and didn't expect a difference there.
Result : without DVC I heard distorted sound, limiter or no limiter didn't make a difference. With DVC I didn't hear distortions, again the limiter didn't make a difference.
Question : Bug or Feature ?
I'd say bug : the limiter should have prevented the distortions.
That there were no distortions with DVC might be a feature of DVC - but then I'd expect the limiter button to be inactive.

I just start it on one of the artists songs (whichever particular song I feel like at the time), then yes the rest is more or less correct. It does not completely randomly distribute the songs. Its like it picks 1 or 2 artists (completely at random) and decides to play their music more than the others. It never seems to select more than 2 'favorites' to play in one session and these 'selected favorites' tend to change every session. 1 session being about an hour while I drive to and from work.
I've been using the player for these trips for just over 3 years now and everyone I've played it to can also see the pattern. Before the recent update It used to pick only 1 favorite artist and every second song was from them, every time. The recent update has spread that out slightly more but now I can get 2, sometimes 3 songs from the same artist in a row and it happens too regularly to be just coincidence.
Do you choose from "All Artist Songs" or one of the artist's albums ?
Which shuffle mode do you use, "Shuffle All", "Shuffle Songs" or "Shuffle Songs/Categories" ?

Is there any way to improve the shuffle system? Every time, I go to artists, play a song while the mode is set to shuffle all available tracks and it always randomly picks some 1 or 2 favorite artist(s) and plays their music much more than others. I have 50 different artists albums yet 3 in 5 song will be tend to from the same one.
What is the ideal way to shuffle all tracks and is there any way to prevent the same artist from playing too close to their previous tracks?
You start via Library, choose an artist, then choose "All Artist Songs" or one of the artist's albums ?
Then you tap on one song in the list view and this starts playing.
Then Poweramp automatically switches to the main playing screen ?
What shuffle mode is display there ? "Shuffle All", "Shuffle Songs" or "Shuffle Songs/Categories" ?
The effect then is the following : shuffling of all songs, not just the artists, but the songs aren't randomly distributed across the artists.
Correct ?

Another useful info. According to the findings from the post below, it's better to turn off bit/banwidth mode and to use only bit mode or to turn the UHQ completely
It seems this upscaling feature belongs to "Dolby Atmos" : https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00080318/
The purpose of the bit/bandwidth mode seems to improve the music :-) : A more advanced upscaling option that will make the sound quality higher.

not the sample format, it's stuck at 16-bit
Tried Float 32 sample format ?
Sorry, just saw that you haven't got that option.

The S7 Edge SM-G935FD doesn't support Hi-Res ? Strange. My S7 SM-G930F does.

Can somebody shed some light about the problem with Hi-Res output and DVC on Samsung devices with Android Pie?
For details see the following links or search in these forums. High-Resolution-Audio-Support has been generally declared an experimental feature. Especially Samsung with Pie seems to be a problematic platform.

Does the current Poweramp support multiple artist separation? Yesterday I tried with those characters you mentioned; it was not detecting.
Currently that is not supported.

Why was this option removed? This was an actively used feature in v2.
Because most users ( meaning most of those who participated in decision making ) decided not to keep the old UI and modify it but rather replace it with a completely new one using the latest technical features.

It is hoped that Poweramp can be adaptively sampled according to the sampling rate of the audio file to achieve no recovery, just like the USB audio player.
It's not quite clear what you are saying, perhaps a translation problem.
Do you want to play music without resampling ? That can be achieved with some devices and sampling rates.
For example when I play mp3 files ripped from CD on my S7 with Oreo and Build 820 I use High-Res with 44.1 kHz and a Bluetooth headset via SBC, no resampling is done.

24-bit audio seems a good idea to me in term of processing headroom and fidelity, but anything much beyond 44k sampling (so 22kHz audio range) is going to be lost on me. Of course there's the argument that you lose the sine wave nature as you get closer to the sampling rate, turning very high frequencies into squares.
This topic cannot be solved conclusively in a forum it seems. We had a long discussion here :
It boils down to the question whether there is something more to deviations from sine waves than higher frequency sine waves.
Fourier shows that there isn't, and as physics tends to be well dealt with by mathematics, that's OK for me.
Meaning that if I can't hear frequencies above 16 kHz I also can't hear the deviations from 16 kHz.

Hi,
As of now, for Genres, if for example a song is tagged as "Hard Rock;Heavy Metal", it will appear under both in the genre category. Is It possible to do the same for multiple artists, for example songs labelled with "Method Man;Redman" would appear under both artists ?
Thank you
There have been discussions about this :
So I think this should be possible :
"And in tags which can have multiple entries (such as Artist, Genre, etc) the separator should be "//" or ";". "

I'm having an issue where no audio is playing through my car stereo with Poweramp at all. It still works with all my other audio platforms (Apple Music, Google Play Music, Shuttle), but not Poweramp. The track will show that it's playing, but no audio comes out at all. I got it to work the first time I tried getting it to play, but ever since it's been silent.
I feel like maybe I'm just missing something. Anyone have a fix?
What are your Settings > Audio > Output ? Could you try to use another plugin ? Tried to disable DVC ?

the most picked for best sound was actually the MP3
Which doesn't necessarily mean that mp3 is better than high resolution. It could be possible that decades of listening to inferior CD quality have ruined our perception and we are unable to appreciate superior quality. ( not my opinion, just for sake of argument )

For BT it’s a bit different story as standard SBC is much lower quality vs ldac/hwa or aptx hd - that’s easily noticeable.
My Sony headphones support LDAC. If I use it the audio output switches to 96 kHz resampling rate, although I'd rather prefer to keep it at 44.1 kHz as my music files deliver that. Therefore I use SBC, which shouldn't be worse than the 320 kbps mp3 I mostly play. Do you think that's a sensible decision ? Or might I still reap some benefits from LDAC despite ( or because of ? ) having ( unnecessarily ? ) to upscale the sampling rate ?
I decided this after reading the following :
https://www.audioholics.com/audio-technologies/bluetooth-audio-guide
To be perfectly honest, in real-world application using moderate to good quality wireless headphones, streaming 320-bit MP3s from your phone, you’d be hard-pressed to actually hear any discernible difference from the same source fully wired while bypassing Bluetooth SBC compression completely. But there is a difference, and higher-end headphones may illuminate SBC’s limitations.
-
IMHO the one benefit to be obtained by using high resolution technology is the option to forgo resampling and process the 44.1 kHz from file to speaker.

If that's impossible than we (Lover of Poweramp's) are missing this function in this Buy version. 😥😭
I'm no android developer and don't know any of Poweramp's internals either. So all I can do is search a bit and see what I can find:
https://www.androidauthority.com/best-equalizer-apps-android-761240/
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/Equalizer
From that it seems that it should be generally possible to write an equalizer app, the first link shows some existing ones. They are implemented with the help of the API, which is documented in the second link.
I would now venture several guesses : you HAVE to use this API if you implement a general equalizer, this then isn't as good as Poweramp's, therefore Poweramp doesn't do it that way, therefore Poweramp cannot be used as general equalizer.
Anybody who knows better feel free to put things right !

Sorry, it can't be done due to Android restrictions. Not without requiring a rooted device anyway.
Andre
There are equalizer apps in the play store, though. So it doesn't seem to be generally impossible for an app to fit into the android audio stream.
As this is a often requested feature, perhaps you could briefly outline the difference between Poweramp and an equalizer app ?
