Tracks usually skip the first half-second or so

App version

Production

Issue description

When I choose a track or an album to play, the first half-second or so is usually cut off. This also happens when I use the skip forward/skip back buttons on my player, or when I use the progress slider to try to go back to the beginning of the song. It’s important to note that I have fully turned off and disabled ALL fade, mix and crossfade options.

Device type

Phone

Media provider

Plex

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the app on my Fiio M21

  2. Select any album or track

  3. Additionally/alternately: Click the “back” button to start the track over, click the “back” button to go back to a different track, or use the progress slider to try to start the track over.

Be sure to not have enabled skip silences.

Seems also the files are strange 2026-04-07 16:02:28.325 Verbose ExoPlayer Mp3Extractor - Data size mismatch between stream (4241784) and Xing frame (4241477), using Xing value. does it happen on all files ?

Thanks for the reply! I have the Hi-Res Support for Local Renderer active, which I understand automatically disables the Skip All Silences option. But I also never activated Skip All Silences, because I only use Symfonium for music.

I’ve tried it with a few different kinds of files: MP3s, ALAC ripped from CD, ALAC converted from FLAC, FLAC, ALAC downloaded from Bandcamp and Qobuz. As far as I can tell, it happens across the board.

Stop all playback. Enable logs, force kill the app, start play of a single song, capture an android bug report https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/bug-report then upload the bug report and the logs to https://upload.symfonium.app

There doesn’t seem to be a way to share the Android bug report. When I click on the notification and select the option to share the bug report, it just tells me that “no app can perform this action.”

Then you might want to try the adb version. This looks like an ExoPlayer issue and they won’t be able to fix this without the bug report.
