DeafIdiotGod Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 When I play music on Poweramp I am likely to hear stuttering of the playback at least a few times a day. I have set the buffer to Huge and I've turned off battery optimisation for Poweramp and this improves things (before turning optimisation off this would happen a lot more). I have played music off the same SD card on a dedicated music device with no issue so I don't think the card is the problem. This is a pretty big problem for a music playing app, particularly one I paid for. Device: Moto G 5G Plus Ram: 6GB Android version: 11 Build no: RPNS31.Q4U-39-27-9-2-9 Poweramp build: 945-bundle-play [945004-2d535bbf] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bencherished Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Please what is your output device? Bluetooth I guess, try wired and phone speaker and see if same thing happens. Bencherished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Also try using internal memory rather than SD, just for testing purposes. PA can be fairly demanding of storage performance, and a clean reformat of the SD Card and copying data back can sometimes help. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafIdiotGod Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 I'm using wired earphones. I can try internal storage and SD card reformat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewilson Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) I'm actually having this same problem. I'm not sure when it started, but it was never an issue before. My phone is a Galaxy fold 3 5G. Android 13. It's using internal memory - no SD card in the fold. Poweramp version build 957-bundle-play. It's more noticeable when using Android Auto, but just a little. It's an issue with bluetooth and even just listening to the phone speaker. I've turned off battery optimization for both PA and Google Maps and that helped, but it still stutters at least 2-3 times an hour. I'm using Flac music files. I'm converting that entire library to MP3 tonight, but I'm not optimistic. Edited April 12, 2023 by stevewilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewilson Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Just a few addendums. Both my present phone (the Galaxy Fold 3 5G) and a previous phone that I still have (a Galaxy S10+ plus have the identical problem with stuttering/pauses. The pauses/stuttering are MUCH reduced, but still present with MP3s. It seems to only occur at the beginning of a drive with MP3s though. I'm using wired Android Auto, so any power saving stuff shouldn't be an issue. I've tried another media player (on both phones) with the FLAC files and the problem isn't present.

andrewilley Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 6 hours ago, stevewilson said: Regardless, this whole thread started because of the constant "stuttering" and pausing I was getting with Android Auto. It turns out that it's an Android Auto issue. Android Auto used to default to displaying maps as soon as it started. I always switched it to the music right away. There was no stuttering. The last "upgrade" of Android Auto changed the default to one of a split screen, so it showed the maps AND the music. That's when the stuttering started. If I switch off the map display the stuttering stops. No idea why Android Auto can't let the user specify what startup screen they want, but that's not a PA issue. At least we've got to the bottom of this one, I guess there's a bandwidth issue with AA on your head-unit. Is the data connection wireless or cabled? Either way, the audio content often goes via Bluetooth anyway (presumably to avoid just the issue you are describing). Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewilson Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 It's wired. And it seems to be an issue with more Toyotas than other makes. And Toyotas didn't allow wireless AA. I COULD just use bluetooth, but I don't like the generic display that won't show color or cover art when the car is in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I agree, AA is a far more elegant solution than plain Bluetooth which I always find a bit hit-or-miss. I don't mind being USB tethered, as that provides charging too so I'd do it anyway. I use AA in my Hyundai linked to an oldish Galaxy A70, and it works really well.

stevewilson Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 It works fine as long as I remember to switch to just the audio interface instead of letting the maps intrude. It's just a minor irritation. Not a deal-breaker by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
