The referenced QPR beta is for the June feature drop. That doesn't mean the fix won't be in next month's Stable kernel. Could be, could be not.how long does it usually take to go from beta release to main release?
Yes! Thank you for posting this.
In my opinion, the reason is for avoiding resampling distortion and reducing distortion caused by heavy jitter of battery optimizations. Higher data rate can be used for reducing jitter of PLL in a DAC. Try audio-misc-settings (resampling at a mastering quality and no jitter from an effect chain) and USB_SampleRate_Changer (You can use 384kHz & 32bit mode of the Android OS mixer for usual music streaming apps. A root script "extras/jitter-reucer.sh" in it can be used for reducing many jitters).What's the reason we need third party audio apps for high bitrate external DAC support?
awesome! did you try it with stable april update before the new beta? seems like the ldac problem was fixed in stable april and latest beta. may be same for external dac problem?I've tested it with latest QPR3 beta and it's working. Finally!!!!
Best report this to Google via Pixel feedback, or else this "faulty" DAC fix will make the public release and people that want to use DACs will be none the wiser.I loaded QPR3 Beta 1.1 in hopes of getting USB sound to work properly with my Shure Aonic 50 headphones through USB, it has it's own DAC. I can get sound through USB but it won't access full Ultra HD sound that is available with Amazon Music. A track that plays at 24-bit 192KHz with my Pixel 3 only plays at 24-bit 96KHz with my P6P. Also there is popping sounds on the track. It sounds kind of like a dirty vinyl record. The Pixel 3 doesn't have these pops. When I switch to BT the pops go away. Of course sound with BT LDAC at 990 still skips. Frustrating!

Yes, I'm on the beta that was released 2 days ago. LDAC is fine at 990. The pops are still there when using USBc to headphones directly. Again my Pixel 3 plays at 192/24 but my P6p only manages 96/24 on the same track. I have a feeling it's not staying digital all the way to the headphones.
Yes, I've switched today to the beta and was on stable before. Passthrough doesn't work on stable. It also did not work on the previous beta. Just latest beta from few days ago seems to have implemented the new aoc.awesome! did you try it with stable april update before the new beta? seems like the ldac problem was fixed in stable april and latest beta. may be same for external dac problem?
I'm wondering the same exact thing.to anyone that has got the may update, has the dac fix from April's beta been implemented in the main release now?

No unfortunately not.
Yep. Saw this article on Android Police and made an account here to say that I was having the same issue and found a workaround that fixed it for me.
Important words above are "for me". Who knows if it'll do anything for you but the steps are simple enough that you should definitely give it a try.
1-Unplug DAC/phones
2-Open Android Settings
3-Choose Sounds and Vibration
4-Turn off the last four options
They should be
-Dial pad tones
-Screen locking sound
-Charging sounds and vibration
-Touch sounds
And that's it! I would reboot my phone after that and then plug in the phones/DAC just to make sure but shouldn't be necessary.
Hopefully that did it for you as well and it could give Google a clue where to start to actually fix it.
