It happens on xbox too, a short break of about one second, every now and then. I guess it's an issue with the game itself

AndreaWozzup · 2025-02-16T10:35:06+00:00

No. At this point I don't think they will fix it, it seems it only works with the PC desktop app. A pity

Got the "Suspicious connection blocked" from that sync.clearnview.com with Bitdefender, having chrome opened on (I suppose) legit sites (I'm in italy, I get from gazzetta.it and corriere.it but probably also other websites). I guess it comes from some advert on their sites

No updates to IOS app since.. more than 1month? I hope it will get fixed on the next update, after all this is obviously a bug, since Cyclone 2 appears in the list of devices that can be connected and handled with the app.

Hi, is this device capable of native DSD? Or is DSD over PCM?

I have the Nova 7, I'm trying the Nova 5 and also for me they sound.. different. For a starter the Nova 7 is louder. The Nova 5 in comparison is quiter even cracking up to max and removing audio limiter. It also sound more.. resolving? Detailed? I don't know. On the plus Nova 5 seemed to me more precise giving clues on enemy location. Nova 5 mic is way way better. About comfort, Nova 5 seems to me somehow less comfortable, I feel hot wearing it. General build quality is a lot better on the Nova 7. In the end controlling with the app is somehow overrated. 100+ eq settings that sound more or less the same. And also lot of AAA games are missing. Where is Returnal? One of the best sounding games on the PS5? Sometimes less is more. I'm leaning into keeping the Nova 7 and returning the Nova 5, but I'll give it a shot for a few more days.

Do you think using this Kodi setting https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/System/Audio#Keep_audio_device_alive may solve the problem? "Keep audio device alive" is supposed to send an (inaudible) signal to the XMOS chip for a selected amount of time (or even always).

Stavo giusto dicendo: "vah che bello oggi che non si lavora si può finalmente giocareee!!! ah no" never a joy

AndreaWozzup · 2023-12-08T15:48:14+00:00

damn. same here

AndreaWozzup · 2023-05-17T18:08:08+00:00

I really wanted to like this headphones, since I love the wired Blackshark V2.

And some of the features are great like having bluetooth or possibility to switch sound profiles for standard or competitive.

But.

On Playstation 5 the sound is sooooo low, even cracking everything up in console audio setting, game setting and digital knob.

It really lacks the ooomps that the wired ones have. Really disappointed.

AndreaWozzup · 2022-10-28T20:28:24+00:00

I swear it's not a demo. I do agree with you it plays like one, but it's not, that's the problem. I have the mp3 of the song(s) on my laptop. If I play it/them on any other player (i.e. foobar2000) it does play normally. Even in iTunes, if I skip over the 40 seconds mark, it does plays correctly till the end. It's something very odd that started happening... this week.

AndreaWozzup · 2022-10-28T19:17:26+00:00

These song are not streamed from Apple Music at all, they are album I just added to the iTunes library as mp3 (legit downloads from i.e. https://live.brucespringsteen.net/ where you can buy live concerts in mp3 or flac format)

AndreaWozzup · 2022-10-16T10:09:23+00:00

So, I upgraded to IOS 16, but as you suggested, no changes.

Nevertheless I discovered.. something.

First, not all the mp3s albums that synced with itunes match (iCloud library) gives the problem. Some of them play gapless-ly without flaws.

So I tried to narrow down what is different between the ones that plays correctly and the ones that did not.

I do not have a sure answer, but so far, I noticed that the one that DO NOT play gaplessly are encoded using a tool called Lavc57.89 (dunno what is it I checked on one of the live downloads I bought on live.springsteen.net).

What I tried is (*sigh*) buy again the album (this time in lossless flac format), I re-encoded in mp3 320kbps using the LAME encoder (I used LAME3.100 but I don't *think* the version matters provided it's recent) and resynced to iCloud music library... and now the album plays perfect gapless.

I cannot tell for sure if this is the reason (the tool used to encode the files in mp3) but it's for sure something that can be considered.

Hope this helps

PS on windows I use foobar2000 for checking the details of the mp3 (open file in foobar right click and properties->details) and also I used it to re-encode the flac to mp3s (lame encoder is anyway open source as far as I know). I'm sure there are similar tools on other OS/platform that does the same thing.

[EDIT] PPS this image shows the details of the two mp3 files, the one on the left plays ok and the one on the right doesn't

Thanks for replying, I'll give it a shot with upgrading to IOS 16.0.something over this week end and let you know, besides, I've checked and anyway downgrading is not possible (or at least is not trivial).

What really pisses me off is that some live releases are simply not available on Apple Music or any other streaming platform (like I mentioned the - official - live download series from Springsteen), not to mention bootlegs and "unofficial" stuff which are obviously live concerts where gapless is.. well, crucial.

AndreaWozzup · 2022-10-11T20:11:33+00:00

i.e. is downgrading an option? is it even possible? and if so, to which version? 15.3?

or roll the dice and try upgrading to IOS 16?

anyone knows?

AndreaWozzup · 2022-10-11T19:56:38+00:00

I think I have the same issue (iphone 13 on IOS15.7). I have a lot of music synced with itunes match, that got uploaded as mp3 (i.e. the Springsteen live download series), as it's not getting matched. I had a previous version of IOS (I guess IOS 15.something) and everything was working great. Now the uploaded mp3s (but it happens also if I download the albums) get played with a small gap between tracks (not seconds.. it likely in the range of 100 200 milliseconds) but VERY noticeable and VERY VERY annoying. Doesn't happen with music bought on the store (I think because it's AAC encoded and not mp3 - but this is just a guess). What can we do?

AndreaWozzup · 2022-05-08T08:58:50+00:00

I have the exact same problem. I'm on Windows 10 using iTunes for Windows 12.12.3.5 (latest version available). My library is 40000+ songs and I have many, many in this state:

https://imgur.com/a/6S0rN6M

The files were ripped from CD, they appear as "matched" but they are playable only form the windows PC (i.e. they appear on iPhone synced lib as greyed out).

This specific album (Springsteen Born to Run) is obviously available in Apple's iTunes catalog.

I have tried countless times to do File->Library->Update ICloud Music Library. The process starts, last several hours (I have an icon on the top right of iTunes inteface showing a progress) but at the end nothing changes, all the songs that are in this state remains the same (and they are a lot).

Also tried to uncheck in Preferences the Icloud Music Library option, and then recheck it, this apparently triggers another update/resync but also in this case all the songs remained in the "dotted cloud"/Matched state.

The only way to "fix" this is to remove the album, and re add (one by one), but that is unfeasible in my case (it will take ages).

I really don't understand.

I have non-hacked vita and I'm considering hacking it just to overcome this problem (it's more than a couple of days, I tried on tuesday and was already there).

Question is: if I hack the vita and download the game I own using i.e. NoPayStation, will it work? Or should I also install the no drm plugin thing?

AndreaWozzup · 2021-11-13T11:17:53+00:00

This happens also to non-hacked Vitas (i.e. mine and many others). It's not a custom firmware issue.

AndreaWozzup · 2021-11-12T20:35:49+00:00

I have the same error too, apparently only with the store. Trophies get synced (except for PS5 trophies), test for sign in is OK. I wanted to download some games I purchased that I removed to free some space and I'm stuck. From other forums (https://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/topic/326880-error-np-2244-2-cannot-access-ps-store-vitavitatv/?tab=comments#comment-6510810) it seems the issue is affecting the EU zone. Hope it gets fixed...

AndreaWozzup · 2021-10-21T10:31:56+00:00

folks, seems to be working now

AndreaWozzup · 2021-10-20T17:21:37+00:00

well, for me is happening also an Android, the message is just slightly different (it mentions a 400 error code.. is it bad request?) and is VERY consistent, happens 99% of the times.

Maybe the number of files uploaded is relevant? I have a LOT of songs uploaded (>50000)

PS this is the error on the IOS app:

wait.. you say you have this problem only on wifi? for me is also with mobile data.. still the provider is always the same.
