Bad sound quality when the player is open in full screen

App version

Production

Issue description

Xiaomi 12T pro
Bad sound quality when the player is open in full screen. The high frequencies start to croak. This only happens in this player; with others, this doesn’t happen.
When you minimize it, the quality is restored.
I’m very sad about this, because overall I really like the player.

Device type

Phone

Media provider

Navidrome

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open player
  2. Find any track
  3. Start plaing
  4. Bad sound
  5. Minimized player, While it’s playing in the background, everything is fine
  6. Restore the player - sound bad again

Thanks for the detailed report and log. I found the upload and confirmed playback on your Xiaomi 12T Pro, but the log does not show an audio error or identify what changes the sound when the player is visible.

Could you repeat the test with the same track and volume, switching between the full screen player and the minimized player, and tell me whether you are listening through the phone speaker, wired headphones, or Bluetooth? Please also mention which Now Playing background style you use. Those details will help narrow down whether the change follows the screen effect or the device’s audio output.

Thanks for the quick response. I use Oneplus buds 4 wireless Bluetooth headphones and notice this effect in them. Also, when transmitting via Bluetooth to the receiver, I can hear this change in the room speakers. By the way, thanks for the tip. I tried to catch this effect on wired headphones and could not. Obviously
The effect is noticeable via Bluetooth.
However, I was unable to catch this effect on other players, from which I conclude that the Symphony interface somehow affects the operation of the Bluetooth chip or codec, and I catch this on the LDHC codec. When I use AAC I can’t catch it

In the end, I think I found, thanks to your hint, what exactly this affects,
Now we just have to figure out how to fix it

You answered 1/4 of the questions :wink:

Please answer the rest this more looks like you issue than anything. Try 15.1.0 see changelog too.

Sorry, the question is “Please also mention which Now Playing background style you use”
I didn’t understand the question. I just click minimize the application and it continues to play in the background, minimized.
Updating to the new version 15.1.0 did not help. Just like before, when the player window is open (and it doesn’t matter where I am in the application menu at that moment), the sound at high frequencies noticeably “croaks,” as if the bitrate is deteriorating at this moment.
Moreover, this is only in LDHC playback mode in the Bluetooth headphone profile

I also did experiments.

Are there any other questions I forgot to answer? :slight_smile:

Show screenshots of your app with the now playing expanded and collapsed.

Then just after having the bad sound capture a bug report https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/bug-report and upload it to https://upload.symfonium.app (I need need the full zip) and tell when done with the description used in the upload form.
