I’m having an issue with Plexamp on my Pixel 6. Everything in the chain is updated to the latest version.

When listening to music on the phones speaker, frequently the music distorts and drops slightly in pitch. This does not seem to happen with any other app, and nor does it happen when listening on external devices (such as Bluetooth headphones and speakers).

Is this the right place to submit this big report? Happy to follow up with anything else you need to clarify/isolate the issue.

Oh Android, you gift us with such a cornucopia of audio issues…

Have you tried switching between AAudio and OpenSL in settings? Might make a difference.

Hey Elan,

Flattered that you’d take the time to reply personally. Thanks for the advice, and for many years enjoying the Plex system, I’m a huge fan of it!

I’ll test this today and report back here in case someone else is having the same issue.

Cheers,
