In the 909 parametric equalizer, the 'Auto Save current preset' function seems to be active all the time, regardless of switch setting on the setup page. Also the 'hold Save button to toggle auto-save' feature (on the equalizer screen) only activates auto save and will not deactivate.

Yup, auto save is always enabled for the Parametric EQ. The toggle should be disabled like in PEQ app unless the dev wants to change this behavior. 

[smiller]

Well that may explain it. But I think it would be vastly preferable to enable a functional toggle rather than disable the option to turn it off. Auto-save is quite annoying when it is not desired.

Huge update, I'm a bit overwhelmed with level of sound tinkering available, just want wide melodic sounds and some bass, will take some time to understand all of this controls.  thanks Max!

[Sandro Nejm]

The new Parametric equalizer  fixes rooms frequencies issues with great precision and rocks the sound. I am amazed.

Just a feature request: ByPass button on the top corner of each specific entry to turn off that specific entry without deleting it.

If that's already how to do it, I just missed I looked rapidly.

Keep it up with passion. The best audio tool I have ever managed for mobile.

Not able to use my echo auto worked seamlessly before now they play music on top of each other galaxy 21 ultra I've used Poweramp for years a great program.

Did whatever issue you are experiencing only happen with Poweramp build 909 (i.e. it was working fine on 905 on the same hardware)? Could you describe what you are trying to do and what has changed?

I believe so I'm running beta now still having the same issue will check it out after work

 

In the past I would be listening to Poweramp and I could speak to alexa auto Poweramp would pause and I could listen to alexa. Now when I speak to echo auto

Poweramp and alexa talk on top of each other Poweramp does not pause 

[Kidsnd274]

I don't know if it was after updating to the latest version or switching to parametric EQ and swapping it back to graphic EQ that caused it but a lot of my EQ presets are now missing. Some of these presets were made from the very early alphas of Poweramp 2.0. I have a pretty old backup so I can restore some of them, but I think I lost quite a few. Anyone can help with this?

[Bobbydaily]

I contacted both Samsung and Amazon

Samsung says there phone is fine Amazon 

Suggest reboot lol nothing seems to help

Have you maybe changed any of the focus options in PA Settings > Audio > Audio Focus ?

[Bobbydaily]

Audio focus is on so that it should pause get a short pause than it starts again

And you don't have the Duck Volume option enabled for Short Audio Focus Changes (which is the type of change that should be occurring)?

You have 'Duck Volume' enabled, which is designed to prevent pausing of playback during short audio focus changes (messages, alert tones, etc) and instead just reduced the volume a bit. If you want PA to pause, turn that off.

The Notifications settings are not relevant, they control the pull-down status-bar notification control panel, not audio interruptions.

I play Amazon music as well through Alexa

Which I can do if I manually pause Poweramp however on my galaxy s9 I simple say alexa play my music poweamp will pause and alexa will play and when I say alexa stop Poweramp will begin. Perfect. The galaxy 21 will just continue playing Poweramp while alexa plays at the same time

 

I disabled duck it paused for about a second than continued to play ugh

Try enabling Permanent Audio Focus Change toggle from Settings > Audio > Audio Focus

[Bobbydaily]

This is the combination of settings I'm trying it acts like for a second it may work than continues to play both audio sources

 

[John Titor]

So I did some testing, I was indeed able to reproduce this bug.

I picked MX player as the second player and looks like pause on permanent audio focus change is working.

Then I disabled Play alone toggle in MX player settings.

Pause on permanent audio focus change feature stopped working. Poweramp would no longer pause when MX player is playing, or vice versa.

As you can see, Play alone feature in MX player automatically stops Poweramp/other players as soon as the user plays something in MX player.

I tried this with another music player, it also behaves the same way.

My conclusion is that, pause on permanent audio focus settings is dependent on support of both players. Though I am not entirely sure how it works with Alexa, Max would probably able to help more.

@redlith not sure what is panning area, but I can't reproduce any issues with colors not shown anywhere. Please note that band close to 0dB gain won't show anything in Frequency response area (the scroller under the bands).

@Sergio Albert

yes
that it is. the scoller under the band aka panning area.

 

[John Titor]

@redlith looks like the bands shown in the screen have 0dB gain, as such they do not have show up in the frequency graph.

Cool at least I'm not crazy

Not sure exactly when this happened - fairly recently though - but on the current 909 build, a lot of my older radio show recordings have vanished from my PA Library. It turns out the file extender ".mp2" (from digital radio stream recordings) is no longer being recognised by the scanner - although PA itself can still play them fine when they are launched externally. So complete batches of my radio shows files which were fine before are now not being picked up by the scanner.

I installed 905 and some older versions did the same has to be this new phone galaxy 21 ultra
