DeathLeprous88 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I have a Samsung Galaxy s21 and Ive noticed a slight squeaking sound on playback that seems to be random. What settings can I adjust to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 You'd need to provide more information - unless you have a mouse in your house. If you are using build 912, try turning the Stereo Expend feature in the Equalizer off. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over Bluetooth, not using any eq, only the limit option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bencherished Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 You said it happens randomly, then I think it's from your music file, if your files are mp3 with 48000 kbps then it can happen. Please confirm your music file and Kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please confirm your music file and Kbps. happens with FLACs and mp3s. Mp3s are 320kbps and FLACs are varying bitrates. If it does happen I go back to the point in the track where it happens and play it again to see if it is the track, and usually it does not happen the second time through, if that makes sense. It also does not happen with other music players, playing the same track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bencherished Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Please when did you start noticing this? Let's see if it's pm version related, what kind of headphone are you using.? Can you also hear the sound from the phone speaker? Finally this may not occur in other players because there are some sounds that can only be heard with Poweramp, and I mean it.

Finally this may not occur in other players because there are some sounds that can only be heard with Poweramp, and I mean it. I started noticing it soon after installing the app so I tried switching output modes from opensl to hi res and also changing the buffer size to large but neither seemed to work. I'm using some cheap-ish wireless earbuds that I haven't had an issue with until now. I don't disagree that there might be sounds you hear with Poweramp that you wouldn't hear with other apps, but if it were truly the files wouldn't the sound show up consistently every time the file is played, in the same spot? That is not what is happening here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bencherished Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 It's definitely not the file, my suggestion will be 2 try another headset, I strongly believe that the sound is coming from the cheap earbug, is not properly couple, I believe is light weighted, so some sounds at a particular level makes it (squeak) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an expert but it doesn't make sense to me that it could be the earbuds when every other player I've tried is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 @DeathLeprous88 Might be worth setting Output to default settings and see if that helps. If not, try all settings back to default (clear app data) and start from fresh. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmp Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 @DeathLeprous88 what is your output device? (BT or something wired via dongle)? In the later case, try Hi-Res output, it has less "hardware" noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmp Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 @DeathLeprous88 I suggest following: - try any other player on the device, preferable the one using Android media engine (eg. youtube music) to verify issue is not hardware/firmware related - try to switch audio outputs assignment for BT in Poweramp (Audiotrack, OpenSL, AAudio, Hi-res outputs) until you find one without issue - try to reset and disable all Poweramp DSP options (equ/tone/stereo x/tempo/reverb) until issue disappears - try to backup your settings/data and reset Poweramp data completely to force the default state, check if it works for the default settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmp Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 @DeathLeprous88 thanks for the details. I've got S21 Ultra (exynos variant, though, for BT it doesn't matter if it qualcomm or exynos) and I can't hear any sound artefacts in devices like Sony wh-1000x* series. Is that artefact pronounced (so you can always hear it) or is it apparent in pauses/silence part of the song? Does enabling/disabled DVC in Poweramp make any effect on this issue? Thanks!

It seems to be apparent in the background of tracks, while they are playing. Not when there is silence. I have not tried disabling dvc, I will try that.

maxmp Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 @DeathLeprous88 also, please try to record screen using builtin recorder (available in the shade quick settings) with the audio (Sound settings - Media Sounds (not Media sounds and mic) for the track where the issue is more pronounced. Please set volume close to 85-90%, but not 100% and use your usual BT device while capturing this. Share that with gpmaxmpz@gmail.com. Thanks!
