Confirmation of Poweramp's Ability to Bypass Android Audio like UAPP - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone reading this who KNOWS FOR SURE please confirm that the new "Hi-Res Audio Output" feature on the beta version of Poweramp main function is to BYPASS Android audio processing (aka via Snapdragon) and have it sent straight to either a better internal DAC (i.e. Quad DAC on LG phones) or else externally via either MicroUSB cable and/or Bluetooth?
This article from a month ago claims it does, but I'd like to hear it from someone else too who knows for sure that's what it's actually doing. Such a thing would be great for enhanced audio and also less battery consumption.
Thank you in advance!!

As far as I know, Poweramp relies on the audio config xml files on the device - even if it has a separate audio Quad-DAC, like my LG Q7 Plus, it won't recognise it (and no awser from Poweramp developers). In fact, not even UAPP and had some testing with the app devs. So far, the only app I tested that could bypass Android on my Q7, is Neutron Music Player - has it has a custom driver that you can config with the bit depth / sample rates you are sure your device is capable of.
They all work though, with my external USB DAC from FiiO.

Very cool!
As far as I can tell at this point, there's no reason to believe that Poweramp CAN'T bypass processing any of the currently played music file. I believe it bypasses it and sends it on to the next device/DAC without issue. But if you see anything to confirm it doesn't, please feel free to post in here about it! :good:
Thanks!

I did run run dumpsys audio.media_flinger and couldn't find any reference to Offload. Best proof was recording the output of a 192khz sweep sine wave file from 5k to 96k (you can find it on UAPP site) on my PC through an audio interface. While recording you should see output from phone from start to end, and that only happened with Neutron. With LG Music /UAPP / Poweramp, the output stopped at second 28, which is approx the 48khz section - or the max sample rate configured in audio policy XML file.

Ok. I honestly don't know what all that means lol, but are you saying that is definitive proof that Poweramp is NOT outputting raw unprocessed data in Hi-Res Output Mode then??

I'm saying for particularly this device. Lg Q7 Plus LM-Q610EA. It works for LG G2 and Xiaomi Mi 8 lite that also own.

Hmm ok. I used to own the LG V30, and my mom still has the LG G6.
I now have the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I'll just assume it works on that until someone proves otherwise.
Thanks again joliv!

Could audio feature deserve more support?

ZTE advertised A7 with High Quality sound capability on the first place targeting audiophile buyers. The question is that users are satisfied with support what ZTE provide in this subject? Is it OK that Music Player cannot handle metadata in appropriate way, cannot list songs in right order, doesn't show any technical info about material, is laggy and slow after being 8 months on the market? Can't you expect more from an audiophile(?) phone?
Have ZTE done anything to share DAC info with developers in order to make HQ Audio feature available in other Players at least.
To tell true I am very disappointed. And you?

I'm using Play Music app and the DAC is activated as far as i can tell. You don't have to use their Music player.
One issue that bugs me is the inability to change the EQ settings in Dolby atmos, they always revert back to normal and the sliders don't stay where you want them to. Talked to ZTE they said its a software issue and maybe the new update will fix it.

Through OpenSL ES. Unfortunately it converts everything to 48/16 first. Yes, then sound goes to DACs. I don't find direct DAC option in settings or a word about it in guide. If it exists please let me know.
Update: may be check wrong player.
I have found two players with name "Play Music Player". May be there more. What do I choose?
USB Audio Player Pro. Play through Android mode, variable bitrate (gets around the android fixed sampling). Worth the money and uses the built in DAC.

Luckily it has free trial version.
http://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/uapp-trial
It also recognized DSD/DSF file. Of course Player can play DSF in PCM mode but it can payed it in DoP and native mode as well. Hurray, it is believable because AKM chips support DSD.
At this point I though to install Player onto Samsung Note 3 with Snapdragon 800. As I know SD800 doesn't support DSD. The result is same. It sounds in all three modes. After this I don't know what to think. I would think that Player overrides my choice and chooses the first capable mode. I would but why doesn't the fourth auto mode exist? Hmmm.
Update: Looks that DSD setting is only for USB DAC. Too bad. Anyway, the program is not bad at all. Thanks.
I did test and compare stock and USB player. Although UAPP writes that Android gets high sample rate stream, the stock player sounds clearly better. It is no doubt.
Have you tried using PowerAmp? It has built in DAC control and this overrides the Dolby Settings (Dolby app becomes unusable when this is selected in PowerAmp). Sound is great and it has a great way to control the EQ. I've using PowerAmp since my first Android phones and now with this is just awesome!

As I see there is no other option. The only problem is that PA is not free and alpha version doesn't have free trial. Correct me if I am wrong. I had used PA several years ago but it changed the sound badly in flat mode too so I stopped to use it. I hope it has been changed but I'd like to check it first. I am not interested in dolby or EQ.

You can download v2 and then sign for the beta. It will update to the alpha v3 build 703 and you can still use it for 14 days. You don't need the premium version in order to try the latest build

OK finally I could manage it. I cannot say anything about quality yet but I would have question. It seems to me that fix sample rate must be preset otherwise app does up or downsample. Isn't there option to send stream to DAC as it is? It is more annoying for me because I listen 88.2/24 materials recently.

I am using PA (bought it) also and afaik the auto samplerate feature is not built in. This might come in a future release but despite the releasedate of the last beta, I have doubts that this will come anytime soon.
I still bought PA in the hope that the dev is still actively developing, maybe a little naive.

What music player app are you using?

I have been a longtime user and fan of PowerAmp. It has been the best music player (IMO of course) up to this point. Well it seems
as there is only one developer that manages and writes PowerAmp. This has resulted in loss of functionality to certain degrees, and form
with using PowerAmp on any Android version 5x and higher. Apparently the developer has bitten off more than he could chew in a reasonable
fashion, leading to no updates from a V3 Alpha form in over a year. So all there is in stable form is V2 that works on Kitkat and below versions.
Using V2 on a newer Android version 5x+ results in losses of quite a few functions, but still usable in ways. This leads me to my question...
What are you using for a non streaming music app? I am looking for superb sound feedback, Edge screen functionality, and adjustable parameters
to tune sound feedback such as Hi-Res to take advantage of onboard DAC functions. All feedback is appreciated, as I look forward to your responses.
Thanks much!
I'm still using PowerAmp
PowerAmp is still my app of choice. The alpha can work directly with the HD capabilities of the Snapdragon 835.

PowerAmp. It does what I want and then some.
Hell yeah, poweramp since release here. I'm wondering why I lost the hi-res output option though coming from the N4 to the N8 though? And I used the same apk.
I've been using Media Monkey for years now. Tried and bought them all for android and always go back to Media Monkey.
PowerAmp - Nothing better
+1 PowerAmp
GoneMad Music Player
I used PowerAMP for many years, but switched to Stellio. It's a much better player in my opinion, lots of customization and the UI is so beautiful.
I've been using Rocket Player. My use case is probably different those others, though. I'm a long time iTunes user and have Apple Lossless music. Rocket Player can play those.

I am using both poweramp and the Samsung player from the app store. I like the way the samsung player integrates with the phone perfectly. It is strange that it is not pre loaded with the phone but I guess Google is trying to push theirs.

Wonder why hi-res isn't available, but was on the note 4?
Was a long time PowerAmp user but for some reason, which I can't recall at the moment, I was encountering an issue which lead me to try JetAudio.
A year later and JetAudio is my player of choice. I still use PowerAmp on my Shield Tablet but for everyday use, JetAudio never fails to impress.
Only caveat is that all of its sound plugins, excluding the default one, require you to purchase a license but you can try them before you buy.

No audio player I have goes above 48 KHz fs. AT&T unlocked model. Please help!

Hi all.
I upgraded from a V10 to a V20. I love the phone, but I can't get it to work with hi res audio.
Obviously, I don't have any stock player installed. What I did was download a 24/96 pink noise file, and analyzed it using TrueRTA.
My Fiio X5 iii, with that file, goes up to 48 KHz with ease.
I've tried the LG V20 with Neutron, Poweramp, Google Play Music, Black, Pulsar, Phonograph, and USB Audio Player Pro. Not one of them can go beyond 24 KHz.
I've tried every setting in every app, no luck.
I've tried installing the LG Stock music player editing the APK and compiling, and I always get a message stating "the apk is corrupt".
Any help will be appreciated!
interested as well as i just got a V20 ATT unlocked.
Have you tried using apk editor for the music app?

Yes, I have. I got an "APK is corrupt" message.
Google Play Music should go above 48KHz, as Black and Pulsar. They don't. I'm measuring them. I have no clue as to why.
For whatever reason - I finally managed to install the LG Music app.
And I just noticed one thing. Every player can go up to 18 KHz and nothing more. It's not even 24 KHz. It's closer to 18.
Everything works the same.
I'm now wondering whether my cell phone is damaged.....
I just did the same test with my Samsung S8+, and Google Play Music and Samsung Music go to 48Khz without any issues.
where'd u get the music apk and how did u install it? feel free to message me. thanks!
Just do a Google search for LG Music app LG V20. Download any link! They all work.
got it to work. thanks to all !!
I never got the LG V20 to work. Damn. Such an amazing phone. I gave it to my wife, who couldn't care less about audio, and she loves it.
Try PlayerPro. I think its like 5 bucks on the play store but it definitely does what your looking for and goes beyond 48kHz sampling frequency. However that feature only works without the DSP pack installed.
I have Poweramp and it does great with 96-24. Am I missing something?

V30 + tidal = bliss

I have begun using Tidal with their Hi Fi plan. I don't think I have heard a better combination on a phone without adding any extra gear. I'm using Sony XBA-H1 IEM'S. I have Bowers and Wilkins P7's, too.
I do not see the option on the Tidal app for "Master" under settings, only Hi Fi. It's my understanding that Tidal offers MQA content so long as the master option in the settings is selected, but I don't see it on the android app. Any ideas?
MQA is only avaliable on desktop Application for now, its not on mobile yet.

Just got an update from the Tidal android app with description saying added support for MQA on selected device LG V30!! But the "master" quality in streaming options is still grayed out so dunno how this new update is... Any ideas? I have a V30 and wrote to Tidal but maybe you guys are ahead of things
Nevermind guys, just logged out of app and re-log and its now working! Enjoying the new Tidal app update with support for MQA on the LG V30. Master quality finally on mobile! Too bad those courageous corp dropped the headphone jack! Viva LG

Proof that it works, i can't modify the DACs presets and filters.. It says "can't modify DSD or MQA files" ))
Is this app countrt specific. I can't find it on playstore in India.
It probably is. country specific. The NL Play Store app version still at 2.3.2 and no reference to MQA and LG V30, not in the Play Store and not in the app. So I guess a bit of patience still is required.
I have to say, I tried Tidal and tried it alongside some of my 192kps mp4's and realised that there really was little to no difference. I began to understand that the new sounds I was hearing in my music was down to the combination of the headphones I was using and the fantastic sound produced by the LG V30's DAC. In addition I now know what files in my music collection are low quality and am starting to remove them and replace them.
IMO most of the magic comes from the phone not Tidal's HI-FI files, and I do believe what most critiques say these days that a trained ear really can hear sounds some people don't.
2.3.4. just got released in the Netherlands. But I don't know what they did with it .. The noise levels are sky high. USB Audio Player PRO in MQA mode is way way way better ...
*update* ... It seems to have been pulled from the Play Store again. Not surprising if the noise levels are anything to go by ...
*update* 2.3.5. available for download
Tidal app. I have to say though that tve never been able to distinguish between same albums at 16/44 and 24/96 or 172, even with my JRiver / Hegel / ATC monitors set up. However, the difference between tidal lossless and Spotify extreme is pretty obvious. I'm using a pair of LZ-A4 phones with the LG and its damn impressive. Better than my DT880s.

Yes you can. Once you have the LG V30, you can use Tidal for Android. It recognizes the LG V30 and automatically enables MQA for you. You can also use USB Audio Player Pro that allows you to use your Tidal account to stream MQA. In fact, UAAP sounds better than the actual Tidal Android app.
How do you stream tidal? I dont have usb player pro but i have tidal. Right now i am just plugging in through my grom audio wirelinq to stream unto my kenwood deck and i launch tidal.
Noticed tidal app update 2.7.5 and now master playback isn't working anymore (stucks on 00:00 and phone freezes). Changing quality to hi-fi is the only solution right now. Can someone confirm on lg v30? Not sure if it's a general v30 issue or related to boombox rom or magisk/safetynet or Viper4AndroidFX. I am also interested if someone has an older app version number that is still working. Thanks.
Update: the hint from Wiz in earlier post that USB Audio Player Pro is also supporting tidal masters made my day It's far better compared to the tidal app and still plays in 24bit/48khz.

Its pretty much self-explanatory. The out-of-the-box limit is 192Kbps. In video recording, Xiaomi limits the audio bitrate to 96Kbps (sometimes 156Kbps), which makes the phone compress the amount of detail in audio to 96Kbps, which is why in loud environments, the audio gets muted or sound distorted because its compressed to 96Kbps. 320Kbps allows the phone to NOT compress the audio as much, making the audio quality richer, and life-like. The "kbps" stands for 'kilobits per second', which means in every 1 second of an audio clip, the file would be 96Kb. So, if you record 1 minute of an audio clip, the size would be 5760Kb, or 0.72MB. In the same situation, if you use 320Kbps of audio, and recording 1 minute of an audio clip, the file would be 19200Kb, or 2.4MB. The rule of thumb is, the higher the number, the better the detail. Same "principle" applies to video, if you watch a video at 240p, the quality would be s**t, but if you watch it at 2160p (4K), the quality would be magnificant, the size of the video would also be magnificant XD. Hope this makes everything clear. If your still confused, just ask. I wont steal your Fortnite skins lol

Same "principle" applies to video, if you watch the video at 240p, the quality would be sh*t, but if you watch it at 2160p (4K), the quality would magnificant, the size of the video would also be magnificant XD. Hope this makes everything clear. If your still confused, just ask. I wont steal your Fortnite skins lol

I didn't ask what bitrate is, I was just asking What exactly this mod do. Where this bitrate is changed not how this affects a quality. Also let me ignore the fortnite part.

Ok..Ive answered your first question very clearly. What Im presuming is you want to know what kind of apps would take advantage of this mod? Is that correct? Your question also has to be clearer..

Ok, I dont know about the bootloop though. Anyway, about the apps, its pretty much system-wide. If you dont have the mod, some third-party voice recorder apps bypass the audio limitations of the device. However, camera apps do follow the specified limitations. You will notice the changes in quality, especially in video recording in windy or loud environments.

I managed to check diffrences betwen my system file and this modded and I Noticed 2 Things. On first screenshot You can see that my system one file have additional space " " Maby that caused bootlop. But For the second screenshot resolution got lowered. Why? Or maby its just higher on PE+ , I don't blame anyone but when managed to keep these 2 things as my stock I didnt get bootlop.

The spacings are normal, I came across them on the POCO, RN7, Mi 8, and the Mi 9. The res however, some of them are different between each device, even though its under the same title. I dont mess with those things, I just changed the bitrate. Its probably the ROM that changed it. Would you mind sending me your stock audio file? (your current ROM)
is it compatible with pixel expirence android version 9.0.
