Another device Model : LG Q6 / LG-M700DSK System : Android 7.1.1 (stock, untouched) Reason : audio-policy; showing the option but output fails. audio_policy_configuration.xml

True true, I had turned DVC off a couple days ago. Turning it on increased the volume alot. Thanks.

Model : Xiaomi - MI MAX - 1st gen System : MIUI Global 9.5.2.0 Stable (not rooted, bootloader unlocked), Android 7.0 Why should it work : Snapdragon 24 bit PCM; It worked on 703 alpha in Android 6, notable boost in volume and the lows. In the newer versions, the soundstage decreased and there's literally no bass. Here's the audio_policy audio_policy.conf.txt

You need android 5 and up to post feedback here. (Unless the feedback is positive.. that would be informative).

I think this could be some issue with MIUI, moving the pre-amp slider down and up again took the volume boost away. The 'No headroom gain' option also has the same effect as the pre-amp slider - the volume drops. No perceivable difference in sound quality ofcourse.

Thanks Max, disabling DVC also caused a slight volume increase 👌

BUMP @maxmp Had the same query/request. Thanks.

Thank you very much @maxmp 😍 I think the Hi-Res mode is finally working as it should 🤘

I'd like to know as well.

Uhh.. you brought philosophy and windows 8/10 into the discussion, on all of which, but the win 8 interface, I'll beg to differ. But just regarding the new Poweramp UI, I'm okay with the design change (not hating on the previous). I haven't faced any accidental/miss-swiping. I'm not fond of the text on the black-bars over the album art but I'm not able to relate to the strong allergic reactions on this forum to that text, nor to the hatred over 'material UI' looking horrendous or anything, or even to the flaming on the wave-bar. Only a few users, forum/non-forum, would even be able to classify this UI as 'material'. I think the main screen looks just fine, if not a bit better than the previous UI aesthetically. The blur customisation on the main screen is a fun addition. The wave-bar helped me to move precisely to the few seconds, to listen to the voice/singing on that very part, fat thumbs used to make precise seeking very hard with the seek-bar. The wave-bar concept is something new to me and it looks good, just hoping the bars themselves get fixed soon to properly relate to the quiet and loud portions of the song. However eventually an option to toggle buttons/gestures and customizing the text, as well as reducing the width of the wav-bar should be nice. As of now, I'm just looking forward to the HiRes functionality getting fixed, the star rating, the ability to delete and Occasional crashing and not opening unless you wipe its data, as soon as possible; followed by the numerous things Max has already put in there, but they don't work yet, but I can wait for those patiently.

I miss the library functionalities but HiRes is the thing that made me check the forums everyday. #VoteforHiRes 👍

Hopefully the messed up HiRes output gets patched up within May, can't contemplate dropping to android 6 now, if this doesn't work.

Which Android version are you on?

This. People need to confirm the narrowed soundstage and hurting highs when the HiRes is on. Perfectly working HiRes is the main function I think all of us here have been waiting for.

The UI looks awesome 👍👍👍 The album art blur customisation is awesome 👌👌👌 However, the Hi-Res sure starts up and doesn't show errors, there is change of sound, but the sound stage narrows down, bass gets lost and highs hurt and there's a feeling that whole sound signature is messed up .. so I guess it isn't actually working right now. Still hoping. I'm using Xiaomi Mi MAX (1st gen) - MIUI 9 android 7.0, global stable, fully stock.. The open sl es hd output works okay, volume level is adequate, so no point in going back either. Was the star rating system dropped is on the pipeline for May 2018 ? Thank you Max.
