Audio issue when using Bluetooth Headphones

ml- commented 5 years ago

This is a rather weird bug that only happens with SmartYouTubeTV and only when using Bluetooth Headphones.

Description: The sound that is emitted is hard to describe, it's a rather short noise (<1sec) and really unpleasant. It's not always the same, but about the same duration. It's recurring every minute.

Where and when does it happen: Anywhere in the App. While the app is in foreground. It doesn't matter if a video is playing or not. It seems to happen in the 4K Mode. I haven't used any "Alt" modes. In 1080p it happens rarely, mostly I'm able to use the app for days without spotting the issue (on 1080p mode). I can easily reproduce it with 4K anytime.

Device:

FireTV 4K - 2nd Gen

Tested headphones:

Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC
Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Wireless

I couldn't find any related issue and I feel rather lost right now and can't find a link between BT Audio and the functionality of the App.

Edit:

apparently happens on regular TV speakers as well
even happens when App is in background (not playing anything)

I have the same issue. FireTV and latest version of SmartYouTubeTV, however it DOES happen with the TV speakers as well as the Bluetooth.

That's interesting. I can neither confirm not deny since I've never used the FireTV without Headphones.

Update / Workaround I've been using the 4K Alt (Exoplayer + XWalk) mode for a while. And there were no issues of this sort.

@gonzaloluna Might also solve your problem.

Feel free to close this issue if you think it's not worth fixing.
