Equaliser not working for Poweramp only


Recommended Posts

For some reason equaliser is not being used only when playing Poweramp (not showing as active player) . All other players seem to work fine. Not sure when it stopped working exactly but it worked fine maybe a week ago. Everything is enabled and Poweramp is showing as known player but still nothing. I've restarted the phone uninstalled and reinstalled both apps (latest versions too on samsun galaxy 23). Any ideas or suggestions what to try

Make sure you are not using DVC on both apps at the same time, and enable 'MusicFX' processing in Poweramp to allow the EQ app to see the audio stream.

Why not use the EQ built into the Poweramp player app?

Yes, did and redid all the settings but for some reason it not detecting Poweramp playing. Just says no active players in PE notification

The only "feature" the native EQ doesn't have that is in PAEQ is the compressor. But that is offset by the benefits of the Hi-res capabilities of using the EQ built into the player. What else do you find is "more comprehensive"?

 

To your question about why the EQ app isn't recognizing PA as a player, if you have turned off DVC and enabled MusicFX in the main app, there is no other reason that the EQ isn't seeing it. Are there any OS music effects on your device turned on that can be affecting this? And of course the standard option to check by rebooting your device may apply as well.

No other sound effects in play and I've restarted too. That's why it is puzzling me why it stopped recognising and only for Poweramp. And yes I probably will end up using Poweramp's built-in EQ and get over my conviction that PE is more comprehensive 👆👍

I've been dealing with this exact issue for 2 weeks now since I bought PA EQ. Other players YouTube, chrome, Google all show up in the known players list and work fine. I bought it not for the EQ, but for the compressor.  I've read up on multiple "fixes" and none have worked.  Shouldn't it be easier for PA player to work with PA EQ?

To expose Poweramp's audio output for external modification, enable the MusicFX option in PA Settings=>Audio=>Advanced Tweaks, and then tap to activate that mode in the second tab of the music player's EQ screen. You should then see Poweramp in the PA-Eq 'Known Players'menu.

It won't work if are using using High-Res ourout in Poweramp though, the stand-alone EQ app does not support that, only regular Android audio modes.

@BrucwW Great, glad it's working for you now. I'm not quite sure why there is even a separate show/hide setting for seeing the MusicFX control in the EQ tab at all, I think it may be something historical in the app design? Personally I'd have thought the control itself should always be visible in the EQ tab, and then users can turn it on or off at will. @maxmp would this be a good idea to make the interface simpler?
