DSP needs to be turned off/on again to work properly with BT headsets

Works for me too.

Logs telrod11-DSP

(Not sure if this is relevant, but before I could do the test this morning,I had to turn DSP off and on again to get playback)

Well yes it probably means that itā€™s not bullet proof.

Hereā€™s another scenario Iā€™m seeing, just giving it to you just in caseā€¦

BT playback
Phone call
Call ends

Music doesnā€™t resume. I have to manually start playback again.

Would it be worthwhile to just turn off DSP for a period and test to see if this issue is related, or am I way off?

Needing to press play is unrelated.

And yes you can test without EQ to see if thereā€™s other device issues. (But use prefer internal decoder to reduce side bugs)

DSP off
Internal decoder on

Appears to work as it should with sound to whatever device chosen, BT or phone speakers.

Also, appears to regain audio focus after a phone call and restart media play after call is over.

Like to get @garfieldairlines to run the same tests and see if he can verify too.

Well this confirm this is a device bug in their EQ lib.

Now itā€™s about trying to find a workaround.

Stupid ? hereā€¦

Could this be as simple as disabling EQ, pausing milliseconds, then re-enabling?

Right now, Iā€™m doing that with Tasker when it dies, but it is a manual process.

Well and then how many milliseconds ? :slight_smile:

This is never a good idea.

Ha, ok.

I am using 250ms, but probably doesnā€™t even need that much.

Itā€™s the only way that I can keep it with audio output with DSP on.

Beta have a new option to force restart the player on device change.

Please report if this is enough to workaround this.

@telrod11 @garfieldairlines I need some feedback here.

Sorry, Iā€™ve had some issues with some other things, like resuming after a phone call, so Iā€™ve been uninstalling/ reinstalling and restoring to try and isolate what might be going on, and if it is a fix or not.
:slight_smile:

ā€¦
So in testing this morning, Iā€™m seeing some issues on the same BT device when a call come through.

Playback resumes, as it should, but no output.

Let me try to test more extensively today and capture logs for you.

(I did tick the new setting you gave us in Advanced for device change)

If this has absolutely nothing to do with what you worked on for us, I apologizeā€¦
:slight_smile:

Ok, duplicated the issue this morning. Logs uploaded telrod11 - call

Call rings through and is ignored (no interaction)
Music resumes, but no output

You obviously canā€™t tell anything from the screenshot other than, SF is trying to play.

Sorry

Unrelated to the issue and nothing I can do here thereā€™s no output device change.

The test I need is the previous issue of changing output device .

Ok, do you want an issue opened about this then, orā€¦?

I thought it might be related as it stops output similarly.

Itā€™s probably the same bug of your device but thereā€™s nothing I can workaround for that one.

Donā€™t use the EQ or ask your phone vendor to fix their side.

The only thing I can workaround is the device change that Iā€™d like you to test.

Ok.

Tested about ten times back and forth between two bt devices and phone speaker, and it works fine.

My device is a Samsung with Android 13,so you may see others with the phone call issue too, just making you aware of it.

:grinning:

Thanks for the test, and thereā€™s hundreds of Samsung models :slight_smile:

But since you can repro and paid the phone you can contact Samsung and have them fix this bug.

This issue is pretty common (system-wide). I think it used to happen on my Samsung (I donā€™t remember which Android version), and has seemingly been re/ introduced on my Xperia 10 iii after updating to the latest version of Android 12. I THINK updating the dialer has fixed it, but time will tell.

Edit : just seen discussion of EQs. No EQs in my example, just a case of getting a phone call while playing music through a Bluetooth device, and then audio not working via bluetooth afterward.

It works (v 11.0.0B2). However turning the bass amplifier on or the virtualizer on just entirely stops the music (keeps playing but no output).
