[Q] Showbox Not working with H/W Decoder - MX Player

All the sudden the audio quit working for voices, the background audio was still working, on MX player when using showbox app. I installed the Neon codec that should have fixed it. I enabled the H/W+ decoding. That corrected the issue with audio, but now it won't buffer. I tried the S/W decoder and it doesn't buffer either. The only decoder that will work is the plain H/W decoder.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or can change to help?

No one know's if there is a way to increase the buffer or allow the buffer on the H/W+ decoder.

[Q] DTS and AC3 sound problem on TV speaker

Hi,
I have sound problem when I use Alpha MX _Player on my Tronsmart RK3288 (Kit Kat android) to play AC3 movies.
My receiver can play correctly the Dolby sound but there is white noise on the TV speakers then I have to mute the TV sound.
It's a little bit annoying if I forget to mute the TV.
Do you have any hint to help me to turn off automatically this white noise on the TV ?
Thanks in advance for your help

I am not sure what happens exactly.
Have you connected your audio receiver on S/PDIF...?
Does it happens with other video files which doesn't have ac3 or DTS...?
What I suspect is your device pass the audio stream to both S/PDIF & HDMI (TV). Your receiver can decode it since it has proper ac3 decoders. But, Your TV might not have ac3 decoder & produces unnecessary noise when failed to decode the stream.
Does your TV Player have native video player..?
Probably when you play the same video there you will encounter the same issue.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Sorry to forgot to describe my setup:
First Setup:
Tronsmart Box (KitKat) -> TV via HDMI
Tronsmart Box -> Yamaha receiver via SPDIF
Android Sound Manager: set to SPDIF
Second setup:
Tronsmart Box (KitKat)-> TV via HDMI
TV -> Yamaha receiver via SPDIF (My TV has SPDIF output)
Android Sound Manager: set to HDMI Bitstream
Both of the above setup have problem of the TV Speaker when playing DTS/AC3 movies.
TV does not have sound problem if playing non DTS/AC3 movies.
I will try the Tronsmart native player tonight and will let you know.
PS: I don't have TV sound problem with the same setup for other box with Lollipop but have subtitle delayed problem
Thanks again

When you set audio out to SPDIF audio not suppose to be passed. Am I right..?
Do you get audio on TV when you play a video with other audio codecs..? In the above setup there shouldn't be any audio.
In simple words, I wonder why TV is making noise when audio is not passed to it.
Regarding subtitle delay issue with another device, does it happens with HW+ or SW...?.
Anyway MX has default subtitle sync options for all decoder ( & HW decoder separately if you only has issues with HW). You set it once & enjoy rather than adjusting everytime.

HW+ only plays audio in stereo

Hi,
I recently bought MX player pro. I use it in nvidia shield 2017.
I have also installed the https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254 codec.
when I use hw+ decoder, my onkyo HT-S3800 produces stereo sound.
Thanks

It's intended behaviour. In fact it downsample to stereo as multi track audio out put was the only available on older Android versions.
Our development team is actively working on audio pass through to pass original audio to external device. Once it's implemented, you will be able to pass the true 5.1 to your external system.
Any update on this? Shield built-in player is passing AAC 5.1 audio just fine but not MX Pro.

Have you tried 1.9.10 with HW+ or SW?
In 1.9.10, if the HDMI receiver (Amplifier) reports the capability of AAC decoding it should use passthrough mode.
I am experiencing the same problem with 1.9.10 as the others. In HW, digital audio is successfully passed through to ext HDMI receiver successfully, but once in HW+, only stereo is passed through. Is there anyway to force audio passthrough in HW+ mode regardless whether MX can detect the HDMI audio capability of the receiver or not? The issue is of course video plays well and without stuttering in HW+ mode.

HW decoder is using mediaplayer implementation which is built on the system itself. So, audio passthrough is done by the system itself. Third-party apps mostly depend on the APIs provided by android. They can't directly access the hardware. MX Player will try to detect the capability of the HDMI receiver. If it's not supported or not reporting properly, then Audio pass-through won't be used.
Can you play the video on both HW, HW+ decoder & collect complete system logs using logcat?

Audio glitches when playing at a higher speed through a wireless device

I just switched to a new phone without a headphone jack and noticed that when I connect my phone to a Bluetooth headphone and play a video at a higher speed like 150% or 200%, the audio of the playback starts to glitch. I have tried several headphones and tried both HW and SW decoders for audio, but nothing helps to solve the problem. On the other hand, I tried 2x playback speed in YouTube and everything works fine. I think there's something to do with how the player samples the audio and passes it to the headphone. Is there a setting to fix this problem?

Generally, this may happen when the video track lags behind the audio.
It will be more helpful if you can confirm whether the issue appears only when using the Bluetooth headset or it can be noticed even while playing through speakers. If it happens on both conditions, it could be caused by hardware limitation.
If possible, collect a bug report from MX Player's help menu right after noticing the issues and share with us. It may help us to understand the issue better.
to what device did you switched to? I'm having the exact issue with my OnePlus 7 Pro but audio was completely fine with the S10+ using wireless buds and up to 4x playback speeds. This is a pretty disspointing surprise
EDIT: I just tried with wired headphones and device's speakers thinking it could be a Bluetooth problem but the stuttering and cut offs were the same.
I then tried other players such as VLC thinking it could be an MX Player problems but again same problem so it might be an issue with my OP7 pro

As we mentioned earlier, it could be due to the limitation of hardware accelerated decoder on your device. There are various factors that can influence video payback. For example, when you try to play a 4K 60fps videos at 4x, the device needs to decode 4K video frames at 240 frames per second. So, video track may lag if it exceeds the capabilities. Likewise, other encoding parameters can also affect performance. Try some other videos with lower resolution or frame rate, and you may not face any such issues.

Android 10 system audio codecs change? - not bluetooth

Hello,
I have a question is there an option to change audio system codecs? I am not talking about bluetooth codecs but system codecs in general.
My problem is with application Lego Boost. When I play sound it is slooooooooooowed and distorted but only on phones speakers. When I connect any bluetooth earphones sound is ok. Bluetooth uses LDAC so I guess that problem is that OnePlus uses some unsupported by application sound codecs.
Maybe there is some app that can change system sound codecs? I did not found any system settings for that.
I use 10.3.0 Android system.
Thanks in advance.
