## Issue description:

When I try to play a song it flickers between the play and pause button very quickly. I’m not using Bluetooth, I’m listening on phone speaker. I have the option of cache enabled to 2GB. When I try to screen record the flicker happen, then suddenly it starts playing. I have uploaded the logs hopefully it shows this has happened or I’ll try to upload a video showing it.

Try to reboot your phone and check your BT codecs and settings you’ve changed.

The AudioTrack can’t initialize with your settings (like you enabled offload so everything is handled by the phone not Symfonium)

Restarting the device has fixed the problem but when I seek the audio, it goes silent but plays. I enabled prefer internal decoder and turned off offload mode and it fixed that too. Thanks very much Tolriq 🥹
