Audio distortion after updating to 7.0.2 (ATSC3)

The following changes listed in version 7.0.2 have created an issue with the ATSC3 audio:

• IMPROVED: ATSC3 audio support
• IMPROVED: handling of ATSC3 audio with signal reception issues

When playing ATSC3 (live or recorded), the audio now has a high frequency static noise. I'm not sure what is causing this, but it sounds like the upper frequencies on an equalizer are being maxed out.

ASTC1 and other audio/video formats do not have this problem. I'm in the TestFlight so I downgraded to the version before these ASTC3 audio changes and audio is clear again. I am able to reproduce this with Apple TV, iOS, and macOS.

Here is a 30 second audio recording demonstrating the difference in clarity:

Version 7.0.2 with distorted audio: PasteWaves - Free Audio File Sharing | Upload & Share Audio Instantly
Version 7.0.1 with clear audio: PasteWaves - Free Audio File Sharing | Upload & Share Audio Instantly

I hope this can easily be fixed, otherwise the changes should be reverted.

Thank you.

We need a 60s tuner capture and the callsign of the station. Please email to [email protected]

The tuner capture has been emailed, and I've linked to this thread for reference. Thanks.

2.27.1804 has fixed the issue. Thank you for the quick action!
