Issue description:

Good day, when listening to songs with the equalizer on, I have a slightly audible metallic sound. This sound can be heard on the phone samsung s22, on the nvidia shield box, and on the car radio.

No logs despite mandatory, raw chatGPT paste without reading what it wrote …

Okay, when I get back from work, I’ll post the log, I use gpt for translations into English.

I’m using it too but I do not leave things like :

I’m using [insert your device name and Android version here], and this happens with both wired and Bluetooth headphones (if applicable).

Your post is like my car make noise is this normal, without any information about anything, this just makes everyone loose time.

My devices:
Samsung S22 Android 16, the sound is on the headphones and speakers,
NVIDIA Shield Android 11 the sound is on the speakers
Car radio Android 12, the sound is on the speakers.

I completed the information, I sent the log this morning, I hope it arrived.

The logs does not contain the start of the playback.

Please show your full equalizer configuration.






Well with such strange values it probably won’t sound correct yes …

Why 32 bands ? Why 0 on 20k why so much on 10k ?

Pre amp + high values and no limiter or compressor also can’t work usually.

32 bands for more precise EQ adjustment,
0 to 20k – I set it like this only temporarily.
The high value at 10k was set accidentally.

But I don’t think the equalizer is the cause of that slightly audible metallic-sounding tone.
It was enough to just turn off and on the option shown in the screenshot.

Problem solved
