Hi and hello.
It seems with one of the recent updates, audio quality defaults to either 32kbps or 48kbps m4a when I use mobile data. On WiFi it's always 128 kbps. I didn't find anything in the settings to combat this behavior, and it happens on my new Pixel as well as on my old Xiaomi.
I use Newpipe primarily as a music streaming app, so this, ehm, it sucks pretty bad.
Did I miss a setting or should I open an issue on github?
edit: I just opened an issue on github, hopefully this gets resolved.
edit 2: This apparently has been an issue for quite some time, it's not a bug though. Setting "Settings" > "Video and Audio" > "Limit resolution when using mobile data" to "No limit" resolved it, but it's not mentioned anywhere that this setting also affects the audio quality. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/8148

I don’t use this app, but it seems like there should be settings for this feature according to: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/518

Those only apply to the video quality, even on 1080p it defaults to low bitrate audio (which is annoying and kinda strange). Thank you anyways :)

That’s silly. I’d open a ticket on GitHub if it were me.
