General Audio Effects (Equalizer presets only in Sound Enhancements):
PureXPsychoRealism - Experience realistic audio, rich deep bass and realistic acoustics. Best acoustics and bass you will ever hear. (This is best used on Headphones)
PureXHiClarity - Listen to Clarity like never before, from Ultra high frequencies to crystal clear vocals. This is clarity at it's best. (This is best used on earphones)
To use these presets, you can see them in walkman sound enhancements by selecting equalizer presets The two effects replace your User-Defined slots, you are still able to customize your own EQs but the values will return back the PureX Effects after reboot...
"Special" Effects (System-Wide):
Unique PureXAudio Dialog enhancement makes voices crystal clear and instruments "pushed" right to both sides of earphones/headphones for realistic vibrations.(IMPORTANT TO NOT USE ANY VIRTUALIZERS OR SURROUND SOUND EFFECTS, THIS WILL RUIN THE DIALOG ENHANCEMENT!)
PureXAudio's "special" Wide Soundstage for that realism effect and instruments spaced out more evenly, making use of all the virtual room. - system wide effect
Common Effects:
PureXDynamics is a more effective way to minimize volume differences (Like the Dynamic Normalizer) Acts like a audio limiter, it's a more safer way to listen to audio as it softens the other instrument volumes down so that every instrument can still be heard.
Speaker Effects (System-Wide when enabled):
PureXIntenseBLAST - Greatly enhance audio volume of internal speaker (Modded version of xLOUD)
PureXHiFi - Greatly enhance audio quality of internal speaker (Modded version of ClearPhase)
Don't be fooled by your Settings saying ClearPhase and xLOUD in sound settings still, they are just the names, they will still produce the exact same effect as the two above but it is renamed in Walkman Sound Enhancements however
If you are using the phone in a different language OTHER than English, please note that User-Defined 1 is PureXPsychoRealism and User-Defined 2 is PureXHiClarity
These effects (Except from "Special Effects") can all be enabled through Sony Walkman Sound Enhancements. (Available in LITE but you MUST have a Xperia device or at least a working walkman player with sound enhancements)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE: DO NOT INCLUDE THIS (even parts of my mod) IN ROMS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! It was amazing how many times my old "One eXtreme Sound Enhancer" mod (For the One X) got kanged...
NOTE 2: It SHOULD work with all roms, please do not constantly ask if it will work for a specific rom.
NOTE 3: PLEASE! FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY, MAKE A NAND BACKUP FOR YOUR ROM! I WILL NOT BE GIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO UNINSTALL.
NOTE 4: This mod will work for Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders as long as you have a custom recovery.
NOTE 5: If you can't hear a difference, use better headphones and listen to better audio format (FLAC is highly recommended) Use equalizers (I use walkman) to make it sound even better
Volumes are also effected by hardware, if headphones or earphones have a high impedance, it will sound much lower than ones with much lower impedance... so don't go complaining that it's too quiet for you...
If you hear a "Hissing" sound in the background, that's totally normal. SRS is in effect which means the DAC needs more voltage to produce this effect, don't worry about your battery life
If you hear a Clicking sound after a sound has ended, that's also normal. The DAC stops every vibrations immediately after a sound has ended to save battery (Muting itself); the more the vibrations, the louder/noticeable pop sound when the DAC mutes itself. (ONLY APPLIES TO XZ USERS)

cool thx!!!!
Hey guys...
ScreaMySkrillEX here..
This is an audio mod made specifically for the ZUK Z2(all variants) on the request of @devabhi..
I currently have made this mod for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3(kenzo) and this is gonna be my 2nd device..
Coming back to the mod, this is purely based on hardware tweaks and modding rather than software mods like Dolby atmos, viper4android, etc. which make changes at software-level.
This mod globally enhances the music experience.
What does it do(currently)?
This mod actually enables the earpiece speaker also along with the bottom-firing speakers. So you have a dual speaker config like the HTC10 has where the purpose of the speakers are same. The loudspeaker is untouched but the earpiece behaves like a mid-range booster and adds some more detail for the speaker audio output. I have also some minor tweaks to the headphone audio also. This mod enables CLS_H_HIFI mode during headphone audio playback which should make your listening experience better than stock.
Install Instructions:
1) Download the latest release of shox Audio Mod.
2) Reboot to recovery.
3) Flash the zip.
4) Reboot.
5) Magic.
This mod supports all other software mods like Dolby atmos, viper4android, etc without breaking their functionality and supports all ROMs.
Read the second post for download link, more info and tips.
Thanks to:
@chdloc - Has thought me many things. I learnt most of the tweaking from his advice's and suggestions.
@UltraM8 - For his Ainur SAURON audio mod.
@zhuhang - For his Viper4Android and IRS samples.
@ZeroInfinity - For his contribution to the android community. Has done many great works in audio modding section. His works were the inspiration for me.
@devabhi - For PMing me to add support this device too. This mod is here because of him.
@ahh988 - For being a prominent tester for this mod. Most of the testing has been done by him. This mod is alive thanks to him.
Link to the google drive folder which contains flashable zip of all releases:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5ratNhH-7mGa1I4VW5wMXlmYjg
Recommended tips:
1)This mod works(should work) on all ROMs and kernels. If there is any compatibility issues or other requests, please post a reply. I will definitely respond to it.
2)Flash Ainur Sauron audio mod made by @UltraM8 along with this mod for a much better experience.This is currently the best audio mod which is the cleanest..Please thank him for his great work...
Link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/soundmod-ainur-audio-t3450516
3)Users who need more tweaking to the audio can use Viper4Android.
Link here:http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=25
4)I have included some of the best IRS samples for viper4android(according to me). So try it out if you are using viper4android for complete control over your music. Extract the zip and place the contents in viper4android/kernel directory of your internal storage.(the zip provided is not recovery flashable).
5)People who use MX player for videos can enable SW audio boost which will further increase the sound levels through speakers without any distortions..
It is recommended not to listen through speakers at full volume for longer periods.. Keep the volume low by 1 or 2 steps from the max.
6)People who think that the present max volume through headphones isn't enough can install viper4android and increase output gain to 6dB in master gate..
My personal Viper4Android settings:
Master power - on
Playback gain control - off
FET compressor - off
Viper DDC - on, set to sennheiser hd558
Spectrum extension - on, set to 1.0
Firequalizer - off
Convolver - off
Differential surround, field surround, headphone surround+, reverberation - all set to off
Dynamic system - off
Viper bass - off
Viper clarity - off
Tube sound simulator - off
AnalogX - on, set to extreme
My earphones :
1) Sennheiser cx180 street-II - daily outdoor use.
2) Skullcandy Ink'D - used rarely.
3) Sony MDR-ED12LP - used when I'm at home.
Changelogs:
V1 - *initial release.
*increased amp gain for more headphone volume and decreased DAC gains to remove distortions.
*added dual speaker config like htc10.
V1.1 - *added support to flyme OS(thanks to @sonictrain for reporting)
V1.2 - *enabled compander for headphone audio to increase the amp gain to the max.
*readjusted earpiece and loudspeaker audio for both htc10 and stereo version.
*added a new version called stereo version
*htc10 version is the default dual speaker config which I had made in the initial release of the mod.
*stereo version enables stereo playback through speaker audio. Earpiece behaves as left speaker and loudspeaker behaves as the right speaker. Its a true stereo effect. You can check it out with stereo test music or app.
V1.3 - *added support for stock ZUI ROM (thanks to @ahh988)
*added a new version called stock version which only makes changes to audio through headphone jack without touching anything else. So now you have three versions:
1)stock version
2)htc10 version
3)stereo version
*made some changes to volumes of all streams from 87(ZUK stock) to 84(hardware stock value). I don't know why did ZUK people kept it at 87. This will remove distortions in headphone e audio.
*added an impedance selection for people who use headphones with high or low impedance. The installer configures the amp settings appropriately to give you the best audio experience possible.
*Increased amp volume from stock value 12 to 16 for low impedance and 20 for high impedance to boost headphone jack output volume without causing any distortions.
*added ota survival script for the mod.
*finally, integrated the mod into an aroma installer.(thanks to @MOVZX)
*Retuned stereo version to balance the audio and give a perfect sound (thanks to @ahh988)
*added 24-bit audio rendering through headphone jack output to increase sound quality.
Need more testers people.
I currently don't own the device so you guys should help me in making this mod more featured.
And you all are most welcome for your suggestions..
Please test the mod and tell me what's missing and what's wrong with your device audio outputs.

Hi there!
Flashed "shox_Audio_Mod_Dual_ZUKZ2_V1.zip", rebooted, but I'm missing the last step I can't see the magic!
Am I forgetting some step?
I'm on Zuk z2 Plus with twrp 3.1 by Fedor and FlymeEU 1.5 by JJ17 with Darkmoon kernel.

V1.1 uploaded to drive folder.
Flash it and see once...
@sonictrain
Flyme OS which you use has mixer_paths_tasha_z2_plus.xml also along with the original one. Seems like the ROM uses the z2 plus xml.
So my mod wasn't working..
Please check v1.1.
I have uploaded it to google drive folder.

nice work,keep going
Thanks for the mod! But what's new on version 1.2_stereo and 1.2_htc10?
What's is the difference between them?
And I think the earpiece volume could be a little higher.
I'm on AEX 4.3 with ARISE Sound Mod (Dolby Plus + ICE)

Sorry there, forgot to update the changelog.
Check the second thread, now its updated.
Hey guys...
ScreaMySkrillEX here.
This is an audio mod made for the redmi note 3(kenzo/Kate) which also works on mi max(hydrogen/helium) as both the devices share the same audio codec and streams.
What does my mod do?
It enables dual speaker config on your device and has two variants(htc10/stereo). And there's also a stock version which only tweaks the headphone audio output.
Htc10 version uses both earpiece and loudspeaker for audio output. The output is mono and hence earpiece acts like a mid-range booster and adds more detail to the speaker audio.
Stereo version also uses both speakers for audio output but earpiece behaves as left speaker and loudspeaker behaves as the right speaker.
Instructions.
1) Download the latest zip from the drive folder link below:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5ratNhH-7mGU3AtTVFmekE4VG8
2)Reboot to recovery.
3)Flash shox Audio Mod zip.(while flashing the file shows that its made for kenzo/Kate. Don't worry, it will work for your device also xD)
4)Reboot.
5)Feel the shox effect!
Enjoy the music...
If you have any requests or problems, feel free to ask.
I will definitely help you.
And you guys are most welcome for your suggestions.

1) Xiaomi Redmi Note 3(kenzo)
2) Samsung Galaxy S(i9000)
3) Xiaomi Redmi Note 4(Mido)
4) Samsung Galaxy Note(n7000)
CHANGELOGS:-
V1 - initial release.
V1.1 - tweaked the values a bit to further remove the hissing noise as reported by @MurdererFight.(thanks bro for being the first tester and reporting me)
V1.2 - added some tweaks which will truly enable HiFi audio through DAC with the help of a magisk module..now the DAC detects the impedance of the earphone or the headphone connected.this ensures proper voltage levels through the amp for the earphones/headphones.
V1.3 - Merged surround audio mod along with hifi audio..
Enjoy stereo-like sound on your kenzo (earpiece speaker also outputs sound now xD, videos feel more alive to watch now).Thanks to @AgentBuBu for the soundmod.
I just merged his mod with mine..
V1.4 - Changed the earpiece thresholds to remove the crackling sound and readjusted both the speaker sound to the same level. Now enjoy stereo like never before on your kenzo's speakers. Thanks to @Androbots for reporting this.Also made the mod universal by making a magisk and SuperSU version..
V1.45 - Readjusted the values again for both earpiece and loudspeaker to remove distortion completely, increased audio volume through headphone jack without disturbing the quality. So, now there's a very little drop in the audio but the quality is absolute eargasm.
v1.5 - Readjusted and increased the volume of both earpiece and speaker without inducing distortions. The sound level is more than stock now.
And further pushed the volume through headphones for louder volume..Now the stereo feel is amazing..
And included biQuads support for headphones for expert users. Now you can correct the frequency response of your beloved cans, IEMs.
Link for biQuads is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70194192&postcount=226
v1.6 - This time made sure to keep the audio levels same at the earpiece and loudspeaker to increase the stereo and ambience.
Very little changes to headphone volume again. Removed some unused codes. Its true stereo now. Enjoy the stereo on speakers like never before
v1.7 - Fixed the messed up headphone gain as reported by @AravindhStanley and now has 2 new versions...
1) Stereo Version - The present version which you guys are using..earpiece acts as the left speaker and loudspeaker acts as the right speaker. The speaker volume and earpiece volume is balanced
2) HTC 10 Version - The new one!!!! it is based on the new HTC 10 loudspeaker audio output.. Its mono but still uses earpiece for sound. But here the earpiece acts as a mid range and bass booster and significantly increases the detail of sound heard through speakers. Here, the loudspeaker is louder than the earpiece. The earpiece just adds detail here. So don't complain about unbalanced audio levels as its kept unbalanced.
This version removes all the audio libs to disable audio offloading to the dsp..Now the audio goes straight to the DAC untouched..
So please flash your audio mods once again after flashing the mod to get them back working.
Now biQuads is fixed by the founder @chdloc himself..So its finally working now....
I recommend all the users to try both the version and keep the ones which you like.
The link to new biQuads is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70194192&postcount=226
v1.7fix - This is only for HTC 10 version...Many users would have experienced no audio from the loudspeaker after flashing v1.7(it wasn't intended to work like that). This issue has been fixed. Now enjoy audio on both earpiece and loudspeaker. Loudspeaker has louder volume than earpiece as earpiece just acts like a mid range and bass booster like before.. Enjoy the sound now..
v1.8 - Made significant changes to headphone audio....
Now the audio is decoded at 24bit 192khz..but still the output is 16bit 48khz..wait for the Poweramp to fix it or if anyone knows how to edit audioflinger please pm me...if audioflinger is hacked, 24bit 192khz audio can be made systemwide....
And enabled hardware Dolby and DTS-HPX support...
Use any of the sound mod which has support for them...you will feel a difference..
Nothing much changed in speaker audio..
Reflash your audio mods again....dirty flash
v1.9 - Rebased with the stock mixer_paths.XML and edited it from the start again..its much clean and removed useless codes from the file..
Fixed the bug - in-call voice through speakers even though the phone was in earpiece mode as reported by @AravindhStanley
Finally the mod is universal! One flashable zip for all ROMs and kernels so no hustle of magisk or su versions.
Dropped the HTC10 version as I dint see much potential in it..It will be continued only on demand..
Temporarily removed biQuads support as it requires an in-depth inspection..will include it in the next build..
V2.0 - *Fixed low audio volume on headphones as reported by many....
*Introducing a stock version, which only tweaks the headphone audio leaving the speakers untouched(stock config)
*Reincarnated the HTC10 version as requested by @mahmoudthassan
V2.1 - *added bass filter for earpiece in both htc10 and stereo version to protect the speaker..
*added a bass filter for headphones also to improve bass range which also reduces distortion..
*created an uninstaller for the mod..
V2.2 - *renamed the mod from HI-FI AUDIO PATCH to shox Audio Mod.
*finally implemented biQuads and added my sound signature to the headphone audio output.
*increased the amp volume to 16 to increase output volume.
*included patched kernels also for the mod as it is mandatory.
This is a guide for creating your own biQuads which replaces the existing ones in the mod.
As you all know, biQuads is a set of 5 IIR filters which can be used to enhance the music and also correct the frequency response of the headphones/earphones which you use.
Continue from here only if you know what sampling rate, bit width, lowpass, highpass, peak filters mean. Otherwise google those terms and learn what they are and what they do
So here's how to design your own biQuads and listen the music in your way:
1) Download biQuads flashable zip from the XDA thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/reference-qualcomm-audio-codec-iir-t3093000
Thank @chdloc for this great work.
2) Flash the zip in recovery and reboot.
3) You will see an app named biQuads in the apps drawer.
4) Open the app and give it root access.
5)As I told earlier, there are biQuads numbering from 1 to 5
6)After every filter you create for every number, tap design biQuad and wait for 20-30sec. You will be redirected to another window where the app check whether the filter is designed correctly or not with a spectrum graph. After that, increase the biQuad number
7) Do the same step 6 again and again from 1 to 5 until your biQuads is ready.
8)Finally, select review filter where you get a final graph and parameters of different IIR filters.
9)Then select save and give your biQuads a name(make sure there are no spaces included in the name). Click accept and the file gets saved in the internal sdcard with the filename you specified.
10)Open the *.coeffs where * is the name you specified for the biQuads in a text editor.
11) Replace IIR2 with IIR0 wherever found and change INP1 to INP2 wherever found.
12) Finally copy everything from the file and replace the contents in the mixer paths(present in /system/etc) under path name headphones. You will find similar lines there which are my biQuads already implemented.(make sure that you file editor has root access)
13) Replace those lines perfectly and align the lines as they were. Save the file when you are done and reboot.
14) Magic.

Thanks. I've been waiting for a dual speakers mod for a long time.
HTC 10 mod version makes the sound output like it's coming out of a can. But the stereo mod is great.

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Edit: weird, the problem was only accessing from my Mi Max.
Thanks, i'm gonna to try your mod.
Is there a way to make the earpiece speaker louder that default? On the Mi Max, mine at least, it's far quieter than the main speaker, meaning it, doesn't seem like it does much.
This also means that in Stereo mode, the left channel is far more underpowered when stereo content is playing, and it's noticeable.

Maybe htc10 version is more suitable for this device..
If you have a kernel with sound control, try increasing microphone volume.

Was the same with the HTC10 version, and I'm not sure if I have a kernel that can do that, and even if I did, how would I go about doing that?
Discovered a bug with this mod. Installing this would disable mic thus any video you record has no audio. Worse uninstalling this mod would not remove the bug. So I had to reflash ROM.

Nope, as far as the speaker doesn't distort
????????
hello and kudos for this feat.
but forgive me for asking a stupid question, will this work with bluetooth stereo headphones?
-------
UPDATE
tried it... worked! muchos gracias!
Working but it have a bugs which video recording has no sound and it also break Hi-Res audio playback on PowerAmp alpha build 704. IEM/Headphone left channel volume sometime really quiet while right channel was too loud. I have to unplug and replug audio jack to make both channels working again.
Tested with Mi Max hydrogen 6.0.1 + Audio Technica ATH-IM50/ATH-M40X/Trinity Delta
For anyone who suffer same bugs, replace mixer_paths_wcd9326.xml and mixer_paths.xml in /system/etc and set permission to 0644
thanks for the heads up.
mine is hydrogen on GlobeROM 7.7.20 + Viper4Arise
did not loose audio on video recording.

Viper4Arise is only used to further tweak the settings that this MOD offers.
so i think its just but OK not to install Viper.
also, if you already have a 3rd-party recovery, you can easily flash this.
Hello, is there any root app that would do a quality volume increasing on bluetooth?
All I found is non-root gimmick volume increasing, witch clearly kills quality. I assume only root option by modifying sound driver would be good option, but I can't find one.
Any suggestions?
Install Magisk + Viper4Android + Audio Compatibility Patch + Audio Modification library + This (Viper4Android profiles +150 included, also speaker ones and bluetooth ones)

What volume do you want? Same as speakers? No mod does that so...
You can on developer options
Deactivated max. Volume
