Tenaj Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Currently using a Galaxy 7s Edge with driod 6.0.1 (last security patch March 1, 2016). Can no longer play .m4a files - no problem playing wma. Prior version played both with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog510 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Are they AAC or ALAC? I'm having no issues playing those formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Someone else reported an issue with an m4a song not playing properly, could you supply a sample file which shows the problem? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Okay, they're AAC and here are a few file links. Since I couldn't just upload them from my phone/computer due to the upload file size limitation I had to drop them in dropbox first so sorry for the delayed response. http://tinyurl.com/jkmzhsy http://tinyurl.com/j7sfpuy http://tinyurl.com/gvjjx35 Plz let me know if the shortened urls don't work and I'll provide the original super long dropbox urls. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks, they download fine, and all three play fine for me in Poweramp build 703 (Galaxy Note 3 with KitKat 4.4.2). We'll have to let Max look into it on other setups. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Okay thanks for checking Andre, much appreciated. Just throwing this out here, I currently have Poweramp 2.0.10 build 588 on my rooted Galaxy Note Edge (SM-N915P) running Lollipop 5.1.1. and all formats play fine. I can upgrade that device to v3 if u/Max think it may help with troubleshooting. I'm 'guessing' he uses an emulator when deving but since my Note Edge is rooted it's a bit customized. tenaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Max has a ton of devices with all manner of Android variants to test on. Emulators are OK for software, but not so good at checking hardware differences (like high-rez audio for example). What he has always said though is that he will test with the manufacturer ROMs, he can't guarantee what might happen with customised/home-brew ROMs. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 LOL...agreed on the hardware testing Andre, it was just an offer and the prior version works PERFECT with my customized ROM. My Galaxy 7s Edge, the one not playing m4a files, is the original ROM running the manufacturer installed Marshmallow os - I haven't touched that yet. Looking forward to the next build so that I don't need to convert my m4a (close to 1000) files. Despite this minor set back, Poweramp is still my #1 choice player tenaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halk Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I thought I'd give it a try too. I'm on stock galaxy s7 edge exynos running the alpha. If I download the file and open with power amp nothing happens. Interestingly though my phone thinks that powpower amp knows the file type.

I went ahead and downloaded a few new m4a acc files directly onto the s7 Edge (running marshmallow) and they work perfectly. I believe the issue with all the m4a files that I pulled over from my Note Edge (running Lollipop) may be caused by the encryption from that phone. Halk is also running marshmallow and he's having an issue but ur kitkat worked correctly. Maybe marshmallow isn't backward compatible on sd card encryption. Anyway just mentioning it in trying to run the issue to ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
