Why is the equalizer only working with Google Play Music? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Under Spotify: Go to settings>Enable equalizer with surround or bass boost>try skipping songs
You'll notice a delay of 1 second or so until the equalizer starts modifying the songs according to user settings, this does not happen with Google Play Music, I can speculate because GPM keeps the equalizer on the background, while Spotify opens it every time a song starts. Is this an issue with Android or Spotify?

Hiding tracks from poweramp

I play a game that has some tracks of music. One thing that great annoying is when I am listening to music on power amp, all those tracks play and it can be anything from a smooth jazz song to a cash register sound. Is there anyway to hide these tracks from power amp but allow the game to still use them
Its in the settings

[Q] Music is going silent during soft parts of a song

Samsung Galaxy S2 - Virgin Mobile - Android 4.2 - Wild the Night ROM (CWM10.2?)
Whenever I play a song in PowerAmp and there is a soft part it will go completely silent until the louder parts come in. For example, David Bowie's Space Oddity starts off very very quiet with a guitar but when I'm playing it in Android the song starts "playing" like 30 seconds in when David Bowie starts to sing. I believe this isn't a PowerAmp issue as it's doing the same thing in the music app Apollo, on multiple different songs as well.
I've endlessly tried Googling and cannot find the answer. I've checked through all of the Gapless settings in PowerAmp and those are off, even though I don't think it's a PowerAmp issue.

Music Pause & Notification Sound Issues

Hey guys, I've posted this inside of a thread in the Nexus 4 forums before, but no-one else seemed to have this issue. It seems to persist in the Nexus 5. Essentially what's happening is my music levels stay low after a notification sound plays while my music is on pause. Should a different notification play after I've resumed playback, the music levels get restored to original levels. Maybe a list will outline what happens better than typing it out:
1. Listening to music
2. Pause music for any reason
3. Notification sound plays while music is paused
4. Resume music playback
5. The music levels are low, meaning I must ramp up the volume to achieve same sound level (for the Media sound slider only!)
6. Another notification comes in while music is playing again
7. Immediately after notification sound ends, music levels get restored to original, louder state

Now, what normally happens when a notification sound plays during the playback of music, is the music levels drop, the notification sound plays, and then the music levels return to their normal levels. When this issue happens, the music levels don't come back up if the music is on pause, even after un-pausing and re-pausing the music, meaning that there should be an event firing right after the notification sound that isn't, when the music is paused. Can anyone else try to recreate this? What could be the cause of this? Any solution? If it makes any difference, I've only been able to test with Pandora for music and Hangouts and Google Voice app for notifications.
Oh, here are some more observations that I've noticed that are important and almost forgot to mention:
1. This happens only if I have a song queued on Pandora. That means having Pandora open and have a song already playing, then pause it. I can't just boot up my phone, receive a notification, and the Media sound levels will be low.
2. The levels fix themselves not only upon another notification paying while music playback has resumed, it also comes back upon the end of the song. Once a new song is downloaded from Pandora and starts playing, the levels fix themselves.
3. The levels also fix themselves if I force quit Pandora while the music levels are down. Does this mean it's an issue with Pandora?
4. Probably goes without saying, but I can fix them by rebooting my phone.

Google Play Music not reliably resuming since Oreo

I use Google Play Music as a music source. Historically, I would stream music in my car, connected via BT, and when I turned my car off, the music would stop. The next time I started the car, Google Play Music would resume. Since the update to Oreo, when I start the car up, the phone will often times start playing from the built-in music app instead (whatever music file it can find on the phone, sometimes the stock music tracks that came with the phone). I seem to have less than a 50% chance of it resorting to the music player, rather than properly resuming Google Play Music. I've tried setting Google Play Music as the default music app, I've turned off all the power management for GPM, but nothing helps. I've even been sitting at a stop light, play a video in facebook (which causes GPM to pause while audio from the video is being played), and then when the video stops, the music player will start playing a track from the phone, rather than GPM resuming. I never had this issue on Nougat, it started with Oreo. I was in the Oreo beta and reported it, but that beta was a farce.
Has anyone else experienced this? Have you fixed it? It's driving me crazy! (no pun intended)

Question Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended

How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
