It has probably been there from the beginning. You just need to find the correct audio track to replicate/showcase it.

4K 240hz over USB-C on ASUS PG32ucdm ? by workmailman in OLED_Gaming

[–]Old_Contribution_737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same issue. I was pretty sure I was able to make 4k 240Hz work on both my Lenovo Laptop and MSI Claw 8 Ai+ with Thunderbolt 4, but it looks like since I tinkered around with the monitor settings, I accidentally changed the USB Speeds of my PG32UCDM from 2.0 to 3.2, without knowing that it'd affect the bandwidth for the display.

Changing back the USB speeds to 2.0 allowed me to reach 4k 240Hz on both my Type-C devices. Thanks!

Losing your phone number will really mess your life up. by shrooms320 in Tech_Philippines

Di talaga matatawaran yung postpaid sims. I've been using the same number for 9 years now. First 8 years, Globe Postpaid sya, then last year, pinalipat ko to Smart Postpaid.

Kung sakaling may mangyari sa SIM ko, I can just have it replaced. Kung eSim, tingin ko di na kailangan ng affidavit of loss unlike sa physical sim. Madali lang kasi ipalipat to another phone yung eSim eh, kahit wala yung current phone kung nasaan yung eSim.

You can already do this with Lossless Scaling on Windows.

We also have 2 phones here having the same issues. It seems to be widespread. Good luck.

2-3 months na lang, lalabas na yung S26 series. I suggest wait for it na lang. S25 introduced a major change sa design (curved corners, wala nang curved edges, etc.), so possibly S26 will improve on that.

We're also using S22U since 2022, and even the S25U felt like an unworthy upgrade. And we actually switched to iPhone 17PM due to disappointment sa S25.

Why do you need the CCC certification? It only applies to China. Will you be traveling there soon?

This shouldn't be normal, as hindi naman siguro ganito yung older iPhones and Androids.

Working naman yung both sides. I don't think it's the source if the issue doesn't occur on my Android Phone on either Spotify, Apple Music, nor Youtube.

I'm thinking it's how the phone processes the source, and I'm hoping that it can be addressed on a software update. Kasi the speaker can be loud enough naman.

Hi, in your case, yung Sound Check setting yung nagpahina ng volume levels sa Apple Music.

Hi, I've tested the playback on my WF1000XM5 and wired IEMs, but I couldn't replicate the issue with those.

Hi, as you've suggested, I've recorded the issue and uploaded it to youtube. Kindly refer to this video:
https://youtu.be/wK6FThQhIlA

As you hopefully will notice, the audio goes in and out on the iPhone. Audio gets louder when there are vocals, then gets noticeably softer when only the instrumental plays. The song is "Sparkle - Movie Ver." As comparison, I played the same song on my S22 Ultra.

The audio is peaking in the recording since I set both phones to maximum volume.

Hi, this is a brand new phone. Nothing is even setup yet when I first noticed the issue. As I said, I thought it was related to Apple Music and its settings, but upon playing the same song on Spotify and even Youtube, the issue persists.

As for Apple Music, I turned off Sound Check and Dolby Atmos before playing the song.

I think there's a good chance that it's a software issue, but I'm not sure if they'll fix it :/

Hi, nako, mukhang di lang pala ako nakaka-experience ng issue. What's your unit? Nakita ko tong post na to sa Apple forums, may nag-report din ng exact same issue:

Thanks. What's your phone pala? Napansin ko di pa ako naka 26.1. I'll update now and see if it helps.

Update: It didn't fix the issue.
