Apps for skipping tracks with volume buttons won't work with Poweramp

Device: Xiaomi Mi A1
Android version: 9.0
Poweramp version: v3 Build 823

Report:

The app Skip Tracks Settings and others allow long-pressing the volume buttons to skip tracks:

It works on every music app I've tried except for Poweramp. Apparently Poweramp does catch the commands, judging by the beeps that I hear after trying to skip to the next or previous track, but doesn't actually skip tracks. The Last Processed Commands list from Poweramp has entries like the following:

09:24:56.422 PSMediaButtonReceiver android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON
KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT ACTION_DOWN name=Virtual source=0x0 sources=0x301 virt=true repeat=0 actionTime=172513786 playerState=1

09:24:58.763 PSMediaButtonReceiver android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON
KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS ACTION_DOWN name=Virtual source=0x0 sources=0x301 virt=true repeat=0 actionTime=172516127 playerState=1

I tried the Single press, Double/triple press, and Long press settings in the Wired Headset section, but nothing worked. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Are there corresponding ACTION_UP ending events to match each ACTION_DOWN?

There are no ACTION_UP events, that might be the issue.

I would certainly expect to see a corresponding UP event at the end of a button press. The app that I use for the exact same purpose (headset cable track changing) shows button DOWN and then UP.
