andrewilley Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Yes that's the point of test releases - but saying that if a test feature doesn't work you'll have to use a different player seems a bit odd. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p50kombi Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Why? I just explained the normal release of Poweramp does not have hi res support. So why is it strange that I'm switching to a player that does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embrion Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Working fine with Hi-Res support at Xiaomi Mi5 and MIUI 8 (already reported in proper thread). Just two things bother: 1. For example FB Messenger sounds distrupt music playback by briefly switching from headphones to speaker. It only happens for Hi-Res output, OpenSL is fine. I believe it briefly switches to different output "mode" (OpenSL?). Can I work around this? "Playing with Settings => Audio => Audio Focus" changed nothing. 2. When I'm using other music players, I can see on screen volume slider when I change sound with hardware vol. buttons. For some reason it's different in the b.703 of Poweramp. Looks like headset is detected or treated differently when used with Poweramp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemantKK Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 When I updated it to V3 a message appeared "Unfortunately poweamp has stopped" then after clearing data in App Info it started but the bass was fluttering even on very low setting, I got disappointed and switched back to V2. After a day I decided to try again, I again installed and managed to start it after clearing the data, but this time excellent sound. I had only one wish for Poweramp to have echo function which got fulfilled with V3. Nice audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHADOW-XIII Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Scrobbling is still broken (checked 703) - it scrobbles only first time the song is played and does not scrobble any other subsequent track. Could it be the Repeat mode is set to "Song"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBones3129 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 This test build has been the same for months with 0 new builds with improvements. You rather just keep collecting money than fix bugs.

If you're not happy with it, use the regular build which is what you have paid the licence for. If you want to test new versions as and when they are ready though, that's fine too. It has taken more than four years to get to this point from the release of v2, a month or two (or more) to get it right would not be unexpected.

Rioter Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 How about customizable steps of volume? Like 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 55, 60, 62, 64, 66, ...., 80, 81, 82... 100. May be overkill but still comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rioter Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Am I wrong or Android 5.0+ allows 24-bit/96 Khz output instead of 16-bit/44-48 Khz? Can we have it in OpenSL ES driver? Also Follow original frequency option. Upsampling is not always welcomed. Especially 44->48 Khz is totally useless. Also excessive battery usage.

MegaHerz Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 A new version of Opus library with speed optimizations mainly for mobile platforms was release. I would ask to update the decoding library in next Poweramp version? https://www.opus-codec.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awake et Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 i am using alpha 701 with my dap a SONY-ZX2 and i am solely listening to 16/44 FLAC files are there any significant sound improvements in 702/3/4 versions ? should i 'upgrade' to any of them ? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrath Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi I've been using the first alpha build 700 and now i downloaded the new ones but I noticed that I can't turn up the bass in the tone menu not even close to what I used to, because the sound gets really distorted. Did anything change between the builds in that regard, or does it have to do with the internal dac thing that I read in the description? I cannot use any of the newer releases because the sound is distorted. Edit. The sound itself is really good(clear) until bass comes in and it starts to distort, maybe my earphones can't take it? (I have a Sennheiser CX300) Edit 2 After some tinkering around I found out that the problem was the Float32 sample format was enabled and after disabling it the sound was awesome again Weird thing though is that as i read it that Float 32 sample format is to reduce dithering or distorsion so i don't really get why it's causing it instead.

netcitizen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi, Is there a way to disable the equalizer visualizations that show up in the bottom of the screen/ main UI when a song is being played in background in Poweramp. I unchecked all the visualization options and it is still not going away. I use on screen buttons and it comes in the way of those. I did disable it somehow earlier but am not sure how. Today I re-installed the app and it started showing up again. using alpha build 703 ,running android 6 on One plus one with cyanogenmod 13 based custom ROM.

andrewilley Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 If a song is playing in the background (i.e. with the PA interface not showing) you should not see the visualiser at all. Could you upload a screenshot of what you are seeing? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if some other app is causing it or it is a custom ROM feature or something. When I played the CM default music app also this visualization showed up. But when I disabled it in the settings of that app it stopped. But not the same in Poweramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is that even coming from Poweramp, or the ROM? Does the style change when you change PA's selected visualisation? PA's visualisations shouldn't react to any other audio players. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No setting change in Poweramp affects it. Maybe it's from the ROM. I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poweramp has a similar visualisation, but you only see it in that position if you enable FullScreen mode and set the controls to hidden (and then only in the Player screen itself). I think this is a ROM thing, or another app. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxelRoldos Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Interestingly, I opted out, uninstalledand tried rolling back... But Google Play keeps updating me to 703. I don't have any issues with playback or anything, but sometimes visualization pops up in lieu of Album Art and the default skin isn't as pleasing as the Lollipop Skin. So, I guess I'm just gonna have to live with the Alpha lol How is it coming along so far? I have no idea what the process of vetting new apps is like.

MxBlue Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 On HTC 10: Using Hi-Res Output with Headphones/AUX causes sound to output to speakers instead of Headphones/AUX. Was working at one point, albeit with frequent crashes but is now non-functional altogether. Tried different combinations of disconnecting and attempting to swap to no avail. EDIT: Worth noting that I'm on build 703 EDIT 2: Disabling DVC solved this issue, yet to do extensive testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
