Just picked up the V10 yesterday and I'm loving it. The DAC does seem to work with Play Music streaming. The amp doesn't though. The reason people don't believe that it works with some apps is that there isn't a change volume. Both the DAC and amp work with TIDAL

What makes you say the DAC works with Google streaming?

Someone here noted earlier that the only streaming the DAC/Amp works on in Google Music is your cloud stored music but not the streaming service of unowned content.

Actually not noticing a difference between Play Music and Tidal when it is set to 320kbs. Think it may be on by default with Play Music. When I Toggle the DAC on and off in Tidal there is a big difference. No difference in Play, but the audio level is the same in Play Music as it is Tidal with the DAC on

I don't know either way. I don't think it's enabled by default though as its a huge battery killer. Wouldn't make much sense.

Does the stock Video player work with the DAC/Amp?

Don't know what else would explain the drop in volume when toggling DAC off in Tidal and Play Music being the same volume level as Tidal with the DAC on

It does

Because it's not working in play music. Also, why would they give you the option of disabling something, then not let you disable it?

I mean Play Music is the same Volume as Tidal is with the DAC on. In Tidal the volume drops with the DAC off

Edit: When playing a song in Tidal and turning off DAC and switching to Play Music it did play with the DAC off. Switching the DAC on caused it to delay and then the volume increased. I do believe the DAC is working with Play Music. It just cannot tell properly wether it is enabled or not

Edit- if you get a notification or any system sound the DAC stops working until you did what I had done in either Tidal or the default music player. Too much of a hassle. Switching to Tidal until Google fixes this

Sounds a little buggy. Plus, you should be able to shut it whenever you like.

Hi...I'm looking forward to LG taking my money for this phone.  Just saw the GSM arena review http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_v10-review-1333p7.php in which they say that the audio quality is clean but low in volume and that it may have trouble driving high-impedance headphones.  This of course contrasts with what I've been reading here, so could anyone confirm why would they say that?  My current phone is an HTC one M8 with faux sound just in case...

I think something was flawed about how they tested it and what they tested was the output of the snapdragon dac/amp.
