Looking into this. It's not clear from looking at the code how this can happen. There are two IDs used as tags:
<item type="id" name="metricsStateHolder"/>
<item type="id" name="metricsDelegator"/>
These are assigned unique values at build time. As long as they are only ever used to assign objects of the correct type with those tags, there shouldn't be the kind of classCast exception seen above, and the assignments look correct, eg:
metricsStateHolder = Holder()
rootView.setTag(R.id.metricsStateHolder, metricsStateHolder)
and
delegator = DelegatingFrameMetricsListener(delegates)
decorView.setTag(R.id.metricsDelegator, delegator)
Logging shows ids are indeed unique and off by one, eg:
2131230959, 2131230958
Still investigating

Looks like a race condition. The two keys can be used from different threads: the main thread and the FrameMetricsAggregator thread. SparseArray (used by View tags) is not thread safe, so it is theoretically possible for some of the same items in the array to be used by different threads. The API doesn't make that obvious, since different tags should be sorted with different keys, but since it's not thread safe, the same item may be manipulated by two threads in parallel, thus resulting in ill-defined results like what we're seeing here. I'm not able to repro the issue directly in JankStats, but I am able to create such a situation using SparseArray directly, so it seems like this is probably the root cause.
We synchronize access to some structures in JankStats already for other potential race conditions; we should be able to similarly protect access to the tags array for use between threads.

The main culprit (called out in that stack trace) was the call to get the state holder from the FrameMetricsAggregator thread. This is only done to remove SingleFrameStates after processing a frame, but there's a simpler way to do that during frame processing code directly, without needing to access the tags from a non-UI thread.
There are various other calls to getTag/setTag that have been modified to ensure they are called from the UI thread, so things should be more solid (in an upcoming fix).

Make use of View tags thread-safe, and simplify delegate scheduling

Make use of View tags thread-safe, and simplify delegate scheduling
We stash a single library-wide instance of our pre draw listener on
the DecorView on lower API levels. This could previously happen from a
couple of different threads, and View tags are not thread safe, which
can cause potential race condition errors if the underlying tag
storage is accessed in parallel from different threads.
This fix posts any changes to both the onPreDrawListener and the tags
to happen from the main thread to make them safe.
This also removes unnecessary logic from the onPreDraw loop itself,
since delegates cannot be scheduled for addition or removal during the
loop due to the synchronized block.
This fix also simplifies logic of singleFrameState removal (it now
happens while processing frames directly, on the following frame),
which gets rid of the need to synchronously get and use the state
holder from the FrameMetrics thread.
Bug: 311218678
Test: Manual testing to verify correct threading behavior, JankStatsTests passes
Relnote: Fix crashes `DelegatingFrameMetricsListener cannot be cast...`

It may seem minor to you but I'm concidering returning the phone because of this, its bad enough a dongle wasn't included and I can't claim the buds for almost a month after purchase. It now appears I can't even enjoy my music on the phone anyway.

Same issue as everyone above (read Google forums for even more complaints). The pixel 6 is seriously handicapped without the ability to use an external DAC. Like others I've resorted to using my old phone which I didn't plan on keeping - and as someone with nicer phones than computers, I don't have other streaming options whether at home or on the go. This is such a disappointment.

Lo and behold, Google's version worked and two other-brand-products did not.

JA - I wouldn't count on the google one actually behaving as a true DAC. if you look at logs there's differences between input sample rate and output sample rate implying audioflinger (the google process) is resampling the output before sending to the Google DAC.

More importantly the issue here isn't that I want my headphones to work, because I have the adapter that came with my old pixel 3xl. I want to listen to high res music through my expensive DAC that I specifically paid for to get high res music.

Considering I spent more for a higher capacity Pixel 6 Pro and have experienced the same problem with trying to use an external DAC; the extra capacity is not useable for storing hi-def music.

ja...@gmail.com
Issue still remains in SQ1D.220105.007 and all other Pixel 6 builds. This is an OS issue NOT an programming or app issue.
When a DAC is accessed directly by any program running on a Pixel 6 then either static or no sound is heard.
When a DAC is used in bypass mode, meaning the DAC in the Pixel 6 is used then sound is heard from the external DAC ( which is just passing it to the attached headphones ).
With build SQ1D.220105.007 there is now pops and hisses heard in bypass mode, thus audio with an external DAC is now worse then the November 2021 build.
Please understand that the Pixel 6 has an an internal DAC ( that is how you make phone calls and hear sounds from the speakers ).
Also please understand that this issue is ONLY with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. External DACs work on all other Pixel phones as well as other phones.

Please make sure that the app is accessing the external DAC via USB-c you need to see a Android permission screen to know that Android is sending data to the USB-c port and NOT analog sound single ( which is how a $8 Amazon usb-c dongle works )
Thank you for all your comments this issue MAYBE OVER AT LAST!!!!!

No, still doesnt work with external DAC via USB C for full bitrate using UAPP or Tidal.
I understand June is the potential fix date for this continuing issue.

June is coming soon; have heard nothing lately on a fix, as promised.
Appreciate a general announcement to the media on progress for this issue.

It's strange but I have THX Onyx and tidal seems to start working with it but only showing yellow lights for master quality, meaning that it has no direct access to DAC
ni...@gmail.com
If you uninstall then reinstall Tidal (or clear app data then log in again), you will get the DAC access prompt for the first day or so, then it will stop prompting. This is on the latest beta or using the Kirisakura kernel on stock

Same issue with Pixel 6 and FiiO USB C DAC, works on shield pro 2019 and other android phones. Pixel 6 is also limited to 96hz playback because you can't send the signal to the DAC and let it handle the heavy lifting. As more and more people but external USB DACs as they have become a lot cheaper, the bigger issue this will become. Please fix this. I do not want to switch to another phone but if this issue is not resolved in the pixel 6 then my next phone will probably be a Samsung even though I hate TouchWiz. A flagship phone sho up let not have this issue. In another thread someone from Google said this will be fixed when the Pixel 7 is released but would never confirm if it will be fixed in the Pixel 6. This is essentially like bitstreaming Dolby Atmos audio to a Soundbar. It just needs to send the RAW signal to the DAC which is less work the phone decoding it so I'm unsure why this is so difficult to resolve unless it's a hardware limitation.

Nope, it is still not fixed.
From what I can see, for now, pixel 6 pro process MQA track and send the processed signal to the usb DAC (THX Onyx). Instead it is supposed for the external DAC to perform signal processing, not the crappy pixel built-in DAC.
So it took 6 months just for another f**k up by Google.
Good work.
Keep that way

I have been using Fiio KA3 with my Pixel6 Pro and never experienced noise or any issue. Just wondering if the KA3 is processing the original music data or Pixel is sending the processed signal to the KA3.
In that case no point of having KA3 as high quality DAC? It is only working as headphones amplifier?
I use Spotify premium with highest quality which is not high-resolution anyway so it may not matter much ...

The built-in DAC in Pixel 6 / 6 Pro is only for driving the built-in speaker. So, the external DAC will process the original music data as long as the app you use intends to do so.

Installed the update after months of waiting... Still no compatibility for my external DAC (Cyrus soundkey) with Tidal on the Pixel 6.
I'm absolutely gutted! Guess it's time to buy a new phone.

Installed the update and can confirm that my AudioQuest Dragonfly Black seems to be working correctly with USB Audio Player Pro(UAPP) v6.0.3.2. Both the LED indicators on the DAC and the information from the playback screen in the app seem to corroborate this. Hopefully the developers make the app available on the Play Store now.
However, the Tidal app still isn't recognising the external DAC. My suspicion is that this is on the app side rather than the OS side since UAPP is working. I think that the Tidal developers just disabled the external DAC feature on the version of the app that's available on the Play store for Pixel 6/6 pro devices. Either that or the method that the app uses to detect the external DAC isn't compatible with the way that the Pixel 6/6 pro exposes the functionality to the app. I'm hopeful that an update to the Tidal app will enable this functionality but in the meantime I'm fine with using UAPP.
If anyone has had different results with the Tidal app, please comment with how you fixed the issue.

My experience using Tidal on Pixel 6 with Cyrus Soundkey DAC: works great for 1-2 minutes, then horrible screeching distortion. DAC has to be unplugged/re-plugged. Fine for another minute... rinse and repeat.
This has always been the case, before and after June Pixel update.
It seems to affect all playback bitrates, not just Hi-Fi.
I have tried reinstalling Tidal and clearing the cache. This does not help.

Playing from HiBy music my Chord Mojo still shows an output sample rate of 48KHz on tracks which are 44.1KHz, so something is still going wrong. Whether or not this is HiBy now is up in the air I guess?

I didn't need UAPP for my Pixel 6 to work with Tidal. Tidal asked if it could access the Cobalt and I was off and running.

I just had to remove and re-install Tidal. I think some others mentioned that above, too.

I see a few comments about still experiencing the issue as before. Removing the app or clearing your cache and data will cause the app to rediscover the device. (that was my experience)
jk...@gmail.com
Also, just a guess here... Google fixed the issue with Direct USB access they did not fix the issue with their own DAC so if your app doesn't provide direct access to the USB to bypass the Pixel's then you would still have the problem. Before I removed and re-installed Tidal, that is what mine did.
ce...@gmail.com
After clearing the Tidal app cache and data, and a phone restart, Tidal is still freezing after I give it access to my DAC. It just hangs at the splash screen even though the phone isn't frozen. Anyone else having this issue?
DAC works great on USBAPP, despite it not working with Tidal.

FYI works on USB Audio Player Pro and Ztella DAC - I get the MQA Purple light
Also works (for now) on Tidal but I had to uninstall and reinstall the app.
Note as some others have noted until I uninstalled and reinstalled Tidal I only got the red light on Ztella (which means >= 46kHz but not MQA)
Oh, and remember to re-select MQA in the streaming options if doing over cellular as default is "normal"
UAPP worked without uninstall/reinstall

People having issues... I don't understand as I haven't seen any problems with either Tidal or UAPP since the update. I'll try both again later (no headphones on my person currently)

Okay. So it's not every time.
I just returned and it had lost mqa, but when it happens you don't need to uninstall and reinstall... Just wiping settings data for Tidal is enough.
I've tested force close since she I kept mqa even without wiping. Also freezing UAPP seems to help.
This suggests to me the issues are with the Tidal app now, not the phone.b or possibly a conflict of both Tidal and UAPP try to grab the device, with tidal losing out

Any updates on this issue? LDAC still grayed out on Pixel 6 pro as of today. I assumed that it wasn't an issue since pixel 6 pro is the latest flagship phone. What stinks is that I just bought a Sony WF-1000XM4 so I can take advantage of LDAC. Even my older Pixel 2 XL had LDAC enabled.

I think you have a different issue. This thread refers to USB DACs. There was another issue where LDAC would stutter at 660 kbps+, but in my experience, that has been improved significantly with the same update (I have the same earbuds)

Any updates on this? My Bluetooth audio volume is so low I need to turn off my radio before leaving the car so that a FM analog station don't blast my ears off later as I need my radio volume 3/4 up with the pixel 6. Yes the pixel 6 Bluetooth volume is much lower that a Analog radio station. This is unacceptable specifically for a device so expensive.

Google Pixel 6 Pro
Gustard X26 DAC USB in
Tried with UAPP installed and not
Tidal freezes after asking if it can use the DAC, tried reinstalling/clearing Tidal a few times. Local files through UAPP worked fine all up to 192KHz, high bit rates etc. All Tidal streams through UAPP at 44KHz. Native Tidal app freezes/hangs etc
Honestly, I am a huge Google fan with at least 30 automation and Nest devices around my home, so I moved from Samsung to Pixel flagship earlier this year - worst decision ever. They really produced a bad phone, it is garbage and will be going back to Samsung (or ANYTHING ELSE) after this latest discovery that it cannot even handle proper USB audio output capabilities. The phone overall is a joke, I hope Google manages to repair the damage and release a proper phone 1 day

Which firmware are you on using?
I have Pixel Pro 6 including the June security patch firmware SQA.220605.009.B1 that has the USB DAC fix - I no longer have the issues as described above.
Have you reported issue from within the phone?
