I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL, on Android 16 (beta 3).

When attaching to USB in my car, the Android Auto feature won’t play my music, the vast majority of the time. I use Power Amp and music is fine over Bluetooth.

It’s not the wire. Also, my GF’s iPhone works fine.

So, definitely an OS/software glitch. I make sure that Total Adblock is turned off and restart my phone before attaching to USB.

The music may actually work about 2/10 times. However, I can’t determine the exact situation during the moments it works.

Any ideas? TIA.

Fixed!

believe or not, I just need to hit the play/pause button, even though it SEEMS like the music is playing, just need to tap play/pause until it actually starts.

    I’d rule out Poweramp for sure, do other music apps work? Poweramp does works fine for me on graphine OS, which is also android 16.

    You’re on a beta version, so it could be related to that?

      Possibly. It’s just very frustrating that everything does work occasionally.

      I just figure out how to replicate the exact sequence/situation/settings.

      I certainly can try another music player. But, I love Power Amp. It has the best features, IMO.

        I agree Power Amp is amazing, I don’t care its not Foss and its worth the cost.

        I was think more as a troubleshooting step to see if something else has the same issue.
