Count-In Comes in on Beat 2

[Bebop57]

The 4-beat count-in has a barely audible beat 1, then normal audible level for beats 2-3-4. So what you hear is essentially a 3-beat count-in.

Are you using the internal built-in speakers on your device?
Or, is the audio using Bluetooth or wireless anything?

No, I just got a new Samsung S25+ and using an audio cable connecting the 3.5 mini from the mixing board to the USB-C input on the phone.

I asked because Bluetooth can introduce issues due to its inherent buffering.

First, unplug the mixer dongle from the Samsung and see if the issue is present through the onboard phone speakers. If the full count comes through the phone speakers, iRp is functioning correctly. The issue would then be in the Samsung’s audio interface to usb-c or in the mixer itself.

While it’s unlikely, make sure your mixer doesn’t have a limiter or auto gain control (AGC) in the audio path. I don’t know if your phone’s audio control panel can access limiter or AGC (if any) function.

If the full count is present in the onboard phone speakers there probably no need for these next steps.
The usual fixes for “mystery” iRp issues include force-quit from the app, complete power-off and re-start.
If that’s not successful, deleting and then reloading the iRp app may work.
ALWAYS backup your app content first and user the same google play store account to re-download the app at no cost.

Last resort for iRp issues:

The count down feature works fine when unplugged from the interface. The count down worked fine on my old Samsung S10+ using a cable going into the 3.5 mini input on the phone vs. the current USB-C input of the S25+.

Sounds like Samsung has included a “feature” in your S25+ to automatically protect your ears from an initial volume spike. Auto-volume control? AVC?

I have no personal experience or knowledge about Samsung devices and am unable to offer any advice specific for your situation.

You might ask google …
samsung S25+ turn off avc for usb audio?

Next steps are up to you.
