pause button causes cracking noise / EQ presets deleted

[deepwave]

Hi, first I want to point out that I downloaded GMMP yesterday, and I have to say its really a great app
and my favorite so far (and I tried Poweramp, PlayerPro, Neutron, jetAudio and some others !).
Great sound, great features, has the potential to become king of the crowd! 

I also found some things that should be changed / fixed:

>>> 1st:
when pressing the PAUSE button the first time after the app started,
it gives a very loud "cracking" noise, like plugging in headphones with the volume set pretty loud (a lot louder than the music itself!)
the second time the PAUSE button behaves just normal; (my hardware: Samsung S3 i9300, Shure SE-215 headphones, Stock Android 4.3)

>>> 2nd:
in the menu SETTINGS >> AUDIO >> EQUALIZER theres the last option RESET EQ PRESETS (or similar, I use german version):
because I am new to the app, I am trying out everything now, so I did with this option.
result: not just all the changed factory presets were restored, BUT ALSO MY SELFMADE PERSONAL PRESETS WERE SET TO ZERO !!
the ones I spent hours to tweak them ....   
this was done without any popup window asking me, if I am really shure that I want to delete everything ....
so in my opinion this should be changed, just the factory EQ presets should be reset, and there should also be a security question
if this is really wanted.

So far, keep on going your brilliant work!

1) this would be an issue with your phone. The first time something pauses and any other time it pauses the exact same code is executed. Furthermore no additional sound is added when pausing... so its something your phone is doing. I have not personally experienced that on my s3 but i have one of the american versions

2) Reset presets reset the presets back to how it was when you first installed the app. It wipes the eq dir and starts fresh. But yes maybe a warning should be added. Once GMMP is installed there is no difference between the preinstalled presets and custom ones. They are all just .eq files that sit in the GMMP folder. They can be edited or deleted just like any other preset

Hi, thanks for the quick answer!

So the first point is maybe something with my S3, I try to figure out if there is something else that could cause this "cracking" noise.
On the other hand, I tested out many different music players on my S3, and never experienced this kind of cracking noise while pausing a song ...

To the second: so I could copy these .eq files somewhere, to restore them, right?

Yes /storage/gmmp/eq is where they are stored. There should be a numbered folder for how many bands (so by default either 5 or 10) you have set and all the preset files are there

i finally got around to adding a warning for this.. however looking at the code.. there is nothing in there that will delete any presets. Reset presets will just overwrite/create any of the default playlists back to their original settings
