I've tested with the other major app and it doesn't have this issue. So I don't think it's an issue with the devices.

Hopefully, they will figure out where it is and get it here early next week. In the meantime, I had a thought on a possible workaround that might tell me how likely my solution would work. I think you could download a white noise mp3 file (easy to find on Google), create a dummy player, assign it the white noise for a song, turn its announcement to none, and then tap that player briefly before tapping the real player. That should allow you a simple way to wake the speaker if it's been long enough for it to go to sleep.

Thanks
Thanks

I am working on a solution for some very poorly designed bluetooth speakers that go to sleep very quickly and require several seconds of actual audio signal to wake up. For these specific speakers, an aux cord is not even a solution because the sleep and wakeup issue happens with aux or bluetooth. Android actually does a pretty good job with bluetooth and the aux cord recommendation is not really applicable. I am currently waiting on delivery of an ION pathfinder so I can test the solution. Luckily, it seems there are thousands of these pieces of garbage speakers available in either open box or used condition because of how often they are returned.
It's a pretty tricky implementation because I have to send some audio signal to the speaker for the wakeup to occur, but it cannot be audible so the audience won't hear it, and it is only applicable for these poorly designed speakers so I have to make a toggle on or off in the settings.

Issue Reporting / Bluetooth Delay
« Last post by Mrmessy on May 15, 2023, 12:31:11 pm »I'm using a Samsung S21ultra, although this has happened on my previous Samsung as well. I'm also using the text to speech function.
When I play the next batter, there is a delay in the Bluetooth speaker playing the voice announcement. So, the announcement seems to be cutoff.
I've tried pushing the slider to the right for when to start the voice and music, but that doesn't work.
Is there a way to insert a 1 or 2 second gap in the beginning to catch up with the Bluetooth to speaker delay?
I am currently adding time to the song and starting it first to make up for the gap, but I would prefer the announcement to be separate from the song.
And I would not like to use an aux adapter and cable either as that is very inconvenient.
Great product otherwise.

Can you do a share data from the settings page of the app and send to walkoutsongdj@gmail.com so I can see I can duplicate the issue here?

It happens often enough that I’m gonna get an inline audio switch / fader so I can fade out / mute when it happens as a fail safe so I don’t accidentally have audio overrun in the game. Seems to happen on the situational songs but on random songs. Yes. All downloaded music because I can’t always be on wifi at games. I have noticed it for awhile. Should I have open the Apple Music app in the background while using this app? I don’t do that but can. So I haven’t had need to force kill Apple Music. I think I have the latest version as I don’t have any updates showing. Thanks again.
