Why xHE-AAC files are not playing on PC and Android 10?

2020-11-02 11:46:11

I'm converting FLAC to xHE-AAC with latest EXHALE encoder.
But I can't play those songs on my PC (foobar2000).

I'm using Samsung A71 (Android 10).
Those xHE-AAC files are playing but I can't seek forward.
When I try to seek forward the song GLITCHES and doesn't play.

Is there any way to fix it ?

You need an additional component for foobar2000:

It works like a charm

Unfortunately there are issues on Android Players. The system supports it (Android 9.0 and higher IIRC) so you can play xHE-AAC with some players like Google Music. But seeking issues were already noted and to my knowledge there is no fix for this :/
