I shall search for and try that! Thanks

(am I the only one that loves UAPP but gets scared going near most of the settings categories?)
same. always fearful I'll change something important and it'll never work the same again. AAMOF I recently did something and now the volume rocker on the phone no longer changes the volume... Tried enabling hardware volume, disabling it, etc. No dice.

There is a setting in the "volume"settings that allows that (I think) - or, if you are now on Android 12, you may need to enable the A12 volume workaround check box (think also in the volume settings)

It seems to be produced by Jcally. It is almost the same as the product called AP98
No it's not, the design's similar, but internal's not the same at all, the jcally one cheaped out on several important chips (missing 2 opamps?) and connection ports, basically a worse clone of Moonriver 2.

The Moondrop's CEO commented: More and more scammers these days...

Interesting that the case is obviously very similar/ inspired by but it is noticeably different in terms of lumps/bumps/ridges. Shall see what happens when I get my AP90- might not connect it to my more expensive IEMs until its had a good bit of use.

Jcally has been advertising themselves in China as Moondrop's OEM factory, and saying that their AP98 was an identical product as Moonriver 2, just as Moondrop's CEO said, it's not "inspired", just a straight up scam.

This is from their own sales rep, "Our design are totally the same, but we're a lot cheaper."

For the record, there's no evidence that Jcally did any OEM manufacturing for any company, it's just their deceitful talking tricks.

Moondrop just proved they are not the same, so that was bad from Jcally especially if they are OEM for their customer Moondrop.

Pretty sure Jcally didn't do OEM for Moondrop, they copied Moondrop's design, it's just their deceitful trick.
