Only Neutron can use the DAC?
Hi, I'm a new user of Neutron, also using a new Dragonfly Cobalt, on a Pixel 3 XL, Android 9
I have an issue where only Neutron is able to output to the DAC. Any other app will output to the phone speakers, which is not desirable.
I've found a temporary workaround - to restart the phone, with the DAC attached. I will see a popup asking if Neutron may access the DAC... if I cancel that popup without accepting, I can then use another program with the DAC. However if I ever open Neutron, it will then take control of the DAC until I restart the phone again.
I cannot figure out how to correct this behaviour.
My best guesses are:
"play if output attaches" - none of these are selected.
Direct USB access - On. (I've tried turning this off, which did not change the behaviour)
Can anyone assist? I would like to switch between Neutron and streaming services like Tidal, without the need to restart my phone.

Re: Only Neutron can use the DAC?
Ending Neutron completely ( not only closing the GUI, but also removing it from the list of open apps ) doesn't help ?
Re: Only Neutron can use the DAC?
What about Settings > Service ? Is this activated ? Does it help to deactivate ?
Re: Only Neutron can use the DAC?
Is Settings > Audio Hardware > Direct USB Access activated ? Try to change the setting - what happens ?
EDIT : sorry , you already tried that.

Re: Only Neutron can use the DAC?
Normally OS should re-acquire USB DAC because Neutron is releasing the DAC's descriptor if audio focus is lost.

Re: Only Neutron can use the DAC?
in neutron settings, "enable audio focus management" is selected (this is by default, as I did not know what it means).
Should that maybe be off?
I will try toggling it later, I don't have my DAC handy right now.
