Problem with Android Auto
Re: Problem with Android Auto
Does this have anything to do with Android Auto or does it also happen with just output via USB ?
Re: Problem with Android Auto
I have same issue with my Hundai Kona and Poco F3, exactly the same.
I can use other audio player without any problem...
My old phone was a Xiomi Mi 9T Pro and the issue already existed, i'm surprised there is still no solution today.

Re: Problem with Android Auto
I suggest you contact neutronmp@gmail.com and ask them how best to analyze this.
Re: Problem with Android Auto
The common cause of audio absence in case of Android Auto is that you have Audio Hardware -> Generic Driver -> Hi-Res Codec option switched on. It is not a bug of Neutron but a limitation of firmware, just keep it off to have system compatible with all usage scenarios.
Re: Problem with Android Auto
Tested on my Kona, disabling completely Generic Driver fixed the issue... weird as it's supposed to be compatible with everythings...

Re: Problem with Android Auto
I think I may have solved this - for me anyway.
Disabling Hi-Res Codec didn't make much difference.
BUT I worked out that Android Auto seems to insist on bluetooth being connected too - even if bluetooth is disabled on your phone, AA will re-enable it.
So I went to Connections and Controls->"Play if Output Attached" and de-selected "Bluetooth: A2DP"
Now it seems to work fine!
Here's what I think is happening
1. Android Auto Connects, music starts playing
2. In the background, Bluetooth connects
3. Neutron is set to "Play if Bluetooth attached" and routes the audio out to Bluetooth instead of AA
4. You can't hear anything because you are listening to AA, which is now receiving no audio
5. You can still see Neutron playing the track on the AA screen, because as far as Neutron is concerned, all is well.
Disabling "play at start" to Bluetooth worked for me.
The downside of this, is that now I have to press "play" to begin listening via my bluetooth headphones. Big deal.
I am now going to re-enable "Hi-Res Codec" to see what happens, my guess is it will be fine.

Re: Problem with Android Auto
OK, an update - still a problem, but not as bad.
Now, when the music vanishes, if I disconnect the cable from my phone (disabling Android Auto) and then re-connect the cable (AA fires up again) then I'm back in action, music can be heard fine. But still with Bluetooth disabled as "Play if Output Attached" as mentioned above.
