Poweramp on Snapdragon Note 8

[GermanGuy]

Of all the music players out there, I prefer Poweramp. I have the latest 704 alpha version. However, the volume is very low (DVC disabled) as compared to other music players (USB Android Audio, MX Player etc.). Anybody know why? With DVC enabled the volume is even lower.

Check replay gain and adjust to +7db

Thanks. It does not cause more distortion?

You're obviously not using Viper. Mine is too loud.....And thats with the bundled AKG's. Poweramp 704( Choose 24bit/192 in settings) and Viper4android. No eq or dsp in poweramp selected/activated.

does viper improve anything for Bluetooth earbuds? have you tested? just curious

Yes, it does. Viper has individual settings and profiles for speaker, headeset and bluetooth. And yes, i've tried them all and the difference is night and day over out of the box.

Now come up with a solution that does NOT require root. I lose too much by rooting.

Have you verified that the volume control is maxed out on the Note 8? With my Note 8 and Poweramp, the phone has a tendency to "forget" the bluetooth volume setting and drop back down to a much lower output. I'll raise the volume back up to max (the car headunit handles volume control duties) and then it works again - until the next time that the glitch occurs. I haven't tested this without bluetooth - so not sure whether this would occur via the headphone jack.

Poweramp's feature to auto-resume playback upon bluetooth reconnect also doesn't work most of the time (works maybe 5% of the time). I'm a new Poweramp user - so don't know whether this is specific to the Note 8.

These issues are ones ive seen since the beginning of poweramp. I've been using Samsung Music since i got my S8 and now my Note8 .

Then I guess I'll have to give Samsung Music a try. Seems odd that it wasn't installed out-of-the-box on the Note 8. But if it works...

Something else has to be wrong. Check in settings> sound quality and effects and set everything to default except UHQ upscaler. If you're not rooted/ using viper, than DVC should make it sound better and louder. I use a flat eq from my headunit with crossovers at-6db/80hz and dynamic bass on high +eq with DVC in poweramp with high res audio, sox resampler, shibata dither gives great results. Also use aux or usb over Bluetooth for car audio. My headunit volume is max and poweramp/phone is maybe 60% and can't turn it any higher than that without damaging something.
