Android App Sound Bad - manilovekencarson - 2025-04-10

Hello,

when I play music in my Jellyfin app it doesn't sound right compared to the Samsung Music app. It sounds like you are on the phone (phone call) but not on speakerphone. It sounds soft and without bass without nothing

I don't know how to describe it properly

Maybe someone can help me, thanks

IIRC, the Android app has issues with how it applies the loudness normalization. Disabling normalization during music playback should resolve the issue. BUT, I recommend using Finamp for music. Sign up for the beta in the Play store so that you get the nearly finished redesigned app.
