[Bug] Several audio-related issues

Apps & Core Settings
1

Heyhey, I have several audio-related issues in 7.4-20260315-FP6 & I heard this forum is a good place to post about that :slight_smile: I am wondering if others have these problems too?

  • Rotating the screen while having sendspin playing music in the music assistant webapp results in audio-dropouts.
  • A bluetooth-connection to a PC resulted in broken audio (50% silence, 40% normal playback & 10% short bursts with audio-garbage).
  • A bluetooth-connection to a Renault Twingo head unit resulted in no audio.
  • An Android Auto (WLAN) connection to the same unit resulted in “jumpy” audio, it was okay sometimes but mostly glitchy garbage.
  • The stock music app in Android Auto is constantly closing/crashing on launch in the cars head-unit but continues playing.

I did not have those issues with /e/OS (A15). :victory_hand:

I can’t recall if you noted you were on an earlier iodéOS release before and only the recent upgrade caused the issues?

I do see that Fairphone just released A16 for the FP6, so I would suspect that will trickle down to the LineageOS source that iodéOS is based on.

And then of course if you are willing to test it would be informative if the LineageOS build has the same issues or not (I would suspect so)?

But if any other FP6 users can give feedback on these audio issues it would be helpful.

I started with LOS 23.2 based iodeOS release/beta afaik.

If there is a way to make a full OS Backup (like backing up system- & data-partitions, etc.) I wouldn’t mind to test LOS. But because I need my phone regularly I can’t spend a lot of time switching OS and setting it all up again. So if anyone knows a way, please let me know.

It is weird that no one seems to run into this issue. I also noticed that some bugs I thought are fixed already reappeared: In almost all scenarios, rotating the screen Interrupts audio-playback for a split second. I noticed it in Youtube, Sendspin, Bandcamp, GrayJay, LOS music app and more. But sometimes it’s gone, mostly, only affecting very few apps.

I am about to update to iode-7.4-20260321-FP6, I will report if anything changed.

I updated to iode-7.4-20260321-FP6 but no changes.

I made a little cut to demonstrate the issue with the screen rotation audio-dropouts, interestingly it only happens when rotated from certain positions to certain positions.

I also created a video demonstrating 2 issues: 1. the music-app is counting up the time twice as fast as reality, causing the bar to be at the end of the song, when actually being in the middle of the song. But more importantly, the horrible bluetooth issues (audio was recorded on the receiver aka my PC).

And here is the videos waveform, the dropouts look somewhat rhythmic.
