Question Low clarity of music when played with music player.

[Deva Surya]

Music quality in my phone is destroyed when playing music with music player (eg.google play music). My phone is Nokia 6.1. No problem on YouTube or any other apps. Only music player apps. Music gets very distorted and noisy and very bad. Please help.

Some music playing apps have settings where you can change the quality of the music, have you made sure they aren't on the lowest setting?

Poweramp Alpha version - Settings - Audio - Change Audio Renderer

*It could also be bad audio files if the above doesn't work

I'm not a fan of any of Google's multimedia apps (Play Music, Play Movies & TV, Photos), so I probably didn't stay long enough with Music to see if this was an issue. Before returning the unit, I'd suggest perhaps trying an alternative app to see if it solves it. I started with the MX Player and then, satisfied with that, moved up to the paid PRO version. You can always uninstall the app if it doesn't resolve the issue, yes?

Can’t you get Spotify or Apple Music?

I would try a different player, but I would also install Stagefright Detector to see if someone is trying an automatic attack through the streaming media service you are connecting to. Also, it could be faulty hardware, but it would distort even in firefox. Could be an AAC stream decoding issue, which you would have to flash the phone's firmware to fix that. Here is an mp3 stream that also has player links on this radio station's page: http://www.knkl.net
