Rhythm 5.5 - Bug Fix Update

Release Banner

What's New:

  • Added: USB DAC and USB headset now appear in the audio output switcher with device product names
  • Added: New Audio Routing dialog to switch between Bit-Perfect, app-managed, and system routing modes
  • Added: Crossfade now has its own dedicated settings screen showing active/disabled/constrained state, with controls for fade duration, repeat-one behavior, and skip behavior
  • Fixed: Equalizer sliders no longer reset adjacent band values when adjusting a single band (#618)
  • Fixed: ReplayGain no longer causes a volume burst when switching tracks (#610)
  • Fixed: Crossfade queue no longer stalls after a few tracks and correctly continues through the playlist (#652)
  • Fixed: Skip Silence no longer accelerates or distorts quiet song intros (#652)
  • Fixed: USB DAC playback no longer incorrectly triggers RhythmGuard speaker volume protection
  • Fixed: ALAC and other high-resolution audio formats (FLAC, Opus) now decode correctly via FFmpeg extension — previously produced silence due to a class reflection failure (#652)
  • Fixed: Lyrics desync on track skip and queue state loss on shuffle toggle (#612, #613)
  • Fixed: Recycled bitmap crash in MediaSession artwork scaling (#603)
  • Fixed: Online artwork no longer disappears when switching tracks or refreshing the library (#616)
  • Fixed: Jellyfin and Navidrome playback, download endpoints, lyrics, and quality switching (#561, #605, #606, #617)
  • Fixed: Bluetooth CDM SecurityException handled gracefully instead of crashing
  • Performance: Audio processors (EQ, Bass Boost, Virtualizer, ReplayGain) now bypass the buffer pipeline entirely when disabled, eliminating unnecessary memory copies per audio packet
  • Performance: Preferred audio device now correctly bound to ExoPlayer's AudioTrack so AudioFlinger applies Bit-Perfect mixer configuration instead of falling back to resampling
  • Many more reported Bug Fixes, UI & Performance Improvements.
