Playback stutters when the screen is turned off

Exactly as the title says. Every time i play music through Poweramp and the screen turns off after a while or I do it myself it starts stuttering like crazy. Changing the settings doesn't make any difference, I think it started happening after the last update and it's slowly driving me crazy

There will be something in your device's Android firmware that is not allowing Poweramp enough resources when the device goes to sleep. Check for any battery optimisation features, and turn them off for PA.

@andrewilley Already did that, it has to be the app itself since tidal, Spotify, etc. all work correctly. Turning on baterry saving features does make it worse though.

Have you tried switching to a different output method in PA, turning off EQ, etc? Some options need more processing power than others.

What device, Android version, etc?

@andrewilley Turned off absolutely everything, tested all the outputs. Samsung Galaxy A51, Android 11.

It happens to me too.

Pixel 5 Android 12, buttery optimization is off.

@Shai Cohen Something on your device is causing PA to be denied enough processing power when the device goes into a sleep state. Have you checked for any other power optimisation settings on your device, and applied them to both the main PA app and the unlocker? The PA Settings=>Misc=>Use Wakelock advice does not apply to Anrdoid 12, you can leave it turned off.
