Is it even possible to play 24 bit flac files without down sampling and if it is possible, which player would work?
I would imagine PowerAmp. It's one of the few players I've found that can handle FLAC files properly.
I assume you haven't seen the other threads regarding this issue. No. There is no fix.
still hoping for a patch of some kind
I know the phone down samples flac to 42 kHz from searching here or something like that. What I'm looking for is a flac player that'll work with DAC without the DAC mod that still sample the flac and not badly down sample into another format or from 24 bit to something lower. I fear if I run the DAC mod it'll hurt battery life.

So far I have been using USB audio player pro with variable rate. It shows me that it is playing at the files native sampling rate rather than default 48k.
Poweramp alpha doesn't work for HiRes mode so cannot set the sampling rate as it defaults to OpenSL ES which has fixed 48k rate
I read somewhere USB Audio Pro, the program itself, says it's playing at native rate but if you check by other means the actual rate it's still downsampling to 48 kHz. Not sure how acurrate that is though.

In the stock rom for Nexus One, there is a very poor audio recording rate set to "recording video"... it sounds like you're recording a telephone conversation
8khz?
Does the Cyanogen mod resolve this issue? and if it does..I will gladly root my phone for it
I am working on it, i have the aac encoder source with me, have to make it compatible with N1 shouldnt be a very difficult task. It will make the sampling rate minimum 16khz. I am also working on h264, with Evo dump i think i will be able to do some stuff for it.Rooting your phone for jsut audio is stupidity. Rooting does way more than audio, its a whole new world
it's not just for audio
but the audio is seemingly important (I love taking videos)
Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right forum so please move if not...
I am trying to write a voice changer for android and I'm running in to some design decisions which I need a little help with.
I am using AudioRecord to get PCM audio from the mic, I need to record audio until the audio is below a certain level, I am then going to perform some processing on it and play it back. So I am unsure how long the audio is going to last for.
Since I want the delay between recording and playback to be as small as possible, I am unsure whether to keep the buffer in memory or to write it to the SD card and process it from there.
How much of a delay would using files induce when I am doing a lot of processing on the signal?
I am sampling at 8000 Hz so presumably 1s of audio would take up 1.6K of memory, what's the practical limit on the amount of memory I can use within the app?
Thanks
I can be watching a tv episode, or a movie, doesn't matter. 75% through the file and the audio starts over at the beginning while the video continues to play through as normal. Making it impossible to finish a movie. I have tried wiping, trying different ROMS, different media players, and also different video converters. I am converting hdtv, bd, and regular avis into mp4 format with video at 600kb/s and audio from 96 to 128kbps keeping the framerate the same as source, and have also tried changing framerate to 23.97 and other fps settings to no avail. The video and audio play perfectly fine for the first hour or so then magically my problem happens, the audio starts over and the video plays as normal. What on earth is causing this? It's very frustrating. I have been dealing with this for months and had given up, but now that dexter season 5 is out, I MUST WATCH IT!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I am currently running Sparksmod 1.6.
Also I should probably note, when I watch these converted files on the PC they play perfectly fine all the way through.
Watching a movie that is h264 encoded while listening with bluetooth headphones causes a noticeable decrease in video quality. In slow panning scenes the amount of "judder", or stuttering is subtley increased. It gives the video a jerky feeling, as if the video is not quite smooth.
This effect is present across multiple video players in hardware decoding mode. The same videos play more smoothly when listening through wired headphones or the XOOM's built in speakers.
Again, I repeat this a somewhat subtle affect. I spent two days playing with video encoders and handbrake settings, driving myself crazy trying to smooth out my videos. Then, due to a battery failure in my samsung BT headset, I started watching movies with a wired headset and the cause finally dawned on me. I did multiple AB comparisons to confirm the problem.
So if your video doesn't seem quite right, and you are using BT audio, try wired audio or buit in speakers for a while, and compare.
I'm using moboplayer right now, and watching Top Chef masters that I encoded into h264 (via Handbrake).
I turned on soft-decoding option, it runs smoothly, and the audio works fine straight from the jack on the top and straight from the speakers.
EDIT: Oops didn't read the post all the way, Sorry.
overclock it a little and your problems will be solved.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Overclocking might solve the problem.
But wow! Wouldn't you think a 1GHz dual core CPU with hardware acceleration for h264 would be enough already just to play BT audio with your video? I'm just surprised overclocking is even necessary.
Edit: Just to point out - the video I'm playing has already been encoded specifically for the XOOM and is being handled by the hardware. The CPU should hardly be taxed to begin with. Is playing BT audio such a processor-intensive task that it should require more than a dual core 1GHz?
Hi!
I had some problems with my Qualcomm-Device and HD-Sound, but I think I have a solution.
1) High-Definition flac-Files (24 bit / 96 khz etc.) tend to stutter even in built-in Music Player. If I turn the screen off, there are always very disturbing stutters about two minutes after every title started. Maybe this has something to do with regular power management, which slows the processor down even if you are not in power saving mode. The problem does not occur when I keep the screen on.
2) The built-in Music Player is not capable of playing DTS-WAV-Files. That's odd because much high quality music is encoded in this format. In another forum I read that only VLC, which is still in beta stadium, would handle these files. The Problems with stutter also occur with VLC.
After being angry I discovered that MX Player can be used as HD-Music Player for DTS-WAV-files, and there is no stutter. First you have to download the dts decoder (Decoder-->user defined codec). In Settings-->Audio you can check the first box to set MX Player to use this program as a music player. Then your music files can be found by MX Player. No stutter at all!
If you have ever heard HD-music with your Note 3 you dont' want to listen to MP3s any more.
Bye
