Just received a refurbished V60 sold from Hong Kong. Shipped V600TM A13, first thing i did was enable hifi quad dac setting, lo and behold! No audio from applications! Chrome youtube even gave an audio renderer error. Can hear system ringtone/keyboard sounds though.
My guess is a software issue?
All i’ve done is tried two A10 T-mobile roms, same issue and then upgraded to A11 ver. V600TM20g, and unlocked the bootloader. Still no good.
Bought hifi-up, it shows my Variations are connected as a normal device.
Poweramp free trial, i can play flac hotel california at 24bit 192khz, no resample with hi-res output. In the hi-res output settings the options goes up to 32bit/352.8khz.
A few questions:
1. Since in settings and audio-wise Hifi quad doesnt work, does that mean my phone is running off 1 dac?
2. Poweramp supposedly bypasses the android limitation of 48khz, but hifi quad is still disabled in settings, how come i can get 24/192khz and potentially up to 32/352.8?
3. I heard A14 will remove the kernel limitation on sample rate. I’m subscribed to Apple Music which online research shows allegedly does not bypass the android audio system unlike tidal etc. Would a root be able to bypass this in any way?
4. Have i misunderstood how the quad dac works? Is this only because poweramp is bypassing the system, and if i use apple music i’ll be restricted to output 48khz because hifi quad doesnt work?
5. Rooted to hopefully figure out how to force high-impedance mode so it shows up in the Hifi Up app. Would this change anything at all?
Thank you and apologies if this is silly
HI, I am really sorry.
Short answr: First thing first: RETURN IT ASAP IF POSSIBLE.
Long answer: You got what is called "frankenstain V60", its basicaly replaced with non orig. parts to get it to work somehow, but the result is usualy giga trash. Trash batery, trash screen, trash audio jack sound, changed motherboard (your issue probably).
Basically, you got a fake phone.
More info is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGV60/comments/u9p9yz/purchased_a_refurbished_lg_v60_visually_pristine/
and search google/reddit for "frankenstain v60".
Damn this is my post after 2 years of not being on this forum.
Look on Ebay for used ones, good review and with 30d return. You might order more than one to find the right one, but it is possible.
I got giga lucky, ordered two from two different sources and both seem orig, just used. Everything works perfectly. This was 1 month ago! So its still definitely possible.
PS: Stay away from "New, sealed"... does not exist anymore, look for "used" from trusted seller. AND preferably not from China/Hong Kong, there are usualy only those frankenphones. Get from America.
Good luck and let me know in Private Mesage for more question.
