Yep. Sold the FiiO M11 and now using the iBasso DX320. Loaded Poweramp with latest build and ALL set bit rates/sample rates are available to be selected. Whilst still have the limitation of only choosing set rates instead of auto detect, they are all back working. So it was clearly an issue with the OS/hardware on the M11. Glad to be using the latest builds again with all their improvements when I’m not using the stock Mango player 👍

I'm not using 32 bit files.

Thanks mate. Will take a look at that 👍 Found the buffer setting but can’t locate the CPU setting ?

I don’t think it’s specific to ALAC (it’s just ALAC is all I have) but rather the skip issue highlighted by the other user. Any way, it’s so random (doesn’t happen in the same spot on the same file) and so infrequent, that it’s not a major issue. Plus I can always alternate with the stock FiiO player on the M11.

Nope. Did it again on an ALAC 44khz file.

Yep, so far so good

I’ve had this too on various files, independent of sample and bit rate all of a sudden. Thought it might have been SD card failure but apparently not when same files are played with stock FiiO player on the FiiO M11

Thanks for the feedback. Rebooting seems to free it up then it defaults to 192k on any file. Doesn't effect sound quality, just seems unnecessary upsampling. Not a killer but just an observational change from Build 939 to anything after that build.

Still having the issue on any build above 939 where I cannot select hires output in Output as in build 939 and am forced to use openSL. I can set 24/96 here as fixed output but as soon as a different player is used and say plays as 16/44 track and the user returns to Poweramp, the output is set to this output (in the sample rate section it is set to Defined by device with the only other options as 44.1 and 48) Rebooted the device, played the same 24/96 tracks and device is now displaying 192K until players are switched and we are back down the same rabbit hole. With this setting, instead of previously being locked at 24/96 as in build 939, Poweramp is picking up whatever the sample rate was last played by either the stock FiiO player or say USB Audio Player Pro This is on a FiiO M11. Back to build 939 🙄

Fixed sample rate output (at 96khz) hasn’t worked on the FiiO M11 since build 939. 945 didn’t work, neither does this one on the M11. Went back to that build and works according to the PA limitation/design.

Yep, I realise that, having spent 30 years in software testing , we never tested every single possible combination either, and it was very large companies I was working for. At least everything is fine on the previous build and I don’t think I’m missing much 👍

The independent indicator on my FiiO M11 which is outside of Poweramp indicates correctly in 939 that PA is kicking out the correct hires static fixed output, but wasn’t in the latest version. So it seems to be back working as designed in the older version which is ok by me.

Both 3.5mm and 4.4mm were the same on build 945. The previous build 939 ? fixed the issue for both outputs.

Very possible and with the M11 using an old amended OS it’s very probable

I donwnloaded from the website. I actually don't think I will bother trying it with 945 again now that I have everything back - two 400GB SD cards scanned, playlists imported, several custom EQ settings added. I haven't noticed anything in 945 that I'm actively missing so I will this time play it safe and stay put. Between the FiiO stock player, USB Audio Pro and Poweramp I think I'm covered (whilst I don't use USB Audio player much as the UI is pretty hideous) Thank you very much for your time MG, I do appreciate it.
