Can't change sample format, pls help.

For some reason I can't change the sample format on my new phone although I can change it on my old phone

[andrewilley]

Please could you give some sort information to go on - what you are trying to do, phone and Android versions, Poweramp version, etc.

My phone is the Xperia 1 Android 9 Poweramp v3 and the problem is I can't change my sample format to 24bit

Some devices restrict certain sample rates to matching frequencies. So for example, you may need to select 192kHz in order to use 24-bit, and a higher rate to use 32-bit. What output device are you using - AUX/Headset, or some other DAC? Not sure if this is the case with your device, @maxmp will probably be able to help though.

Not sure, that's one of the Bluetooth formats, which would be more down to the bluetooth connection on your device I'd have thought. @maxmp should be able to confirm whether high-res is supported there anyway. Have you tried using the phone's wired AUX/headset connector?

I did try the AUX/Headset connector but I still can't change the sample format to 24bit even after changing the sample rate to 192khz

Ldac is a lossy compression codec, where bits are really not so important due to the way lossy compression works. Usually ldac works with 16 or 24 bit input, some devices require 32 (Poweramp shows that info). This doesn’t affect quality or anything else measurable at all.

I too had the same problem, it may sound crazy, but head over to settings and find restore default and restore everything, from Audio to Misc. That works!
