I’m testing the examples provided via the HTML5 download. Thank you!
When I serve them via a web server, any _android chrome_ that connects to it seems to play distorted sounds unfortunately. Firefox seems ok.
Ps. please host the web audio on this website again please

Read over the [Performance and Memory](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=platforms-html5.html#performance-and-memory) docs for HTML5, some of the information in there should help.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work.
Summary:
- Stuttering on Chrome android only (firefox android OK)
- playsound.js api/core/examples
- tried different DSPBuffer
- how to set lower hz? (always 48000hz)
Other ideas?
Update: Most likely performance related - how to set the lowest cpu/quality possible? (although it only goes to max 2%cpu usage…)

You can set the samplerate using [System::setSoftwareFormat](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-api-system.html#system_setsoftwareformat).
What version of FMOD are you using?

Thanks. Changing the samplerate did not fix it.
We’re using the HTML download -\> “fmodstudioapi20005html5”
If you host fmod html audio on this website again (or try yourself on a local webserver and access the ip by smartphone) I’m sure you will encounter it too.

So far I have only been able to reproduce this on devices running Android 8.0 and older, is this the same for you?
By changing the DSP buffer size to 4096 x 2 I was able to solve the distortion on one of the devices, but the other still had a small amount of distortion. This is likely due to the low latency mode not being supported on that device. The only solution in that case is to have a switch in the app to make the latency really high/extra large for bad devices.

Thanks. The DSP buffer size of “4096 x 2” did the trick. Seems good!
