So I'm wondering if any of you have had good luck with any audio mods for aosp since beats isn't built in? I tried viper4android and it seemed pretty decent but what do you guys think?
Is there any way to fix the audio distorsion caused by cm? ( i understand that it's because of the lack of boomsound optimization, being close source ) In CM12.1 i could get around it with viper4android and other audio mods, but it never touched that same level of quality.
I am using lineage 14.1 with Poweramp and Viper4Android atm. (HTC ONE M8, S-OFF). After making calls and writing messages audio playback is the most important task of my HTC One M8.
This was the reason why I choose the M8.
I am wondering if I get the best performance with this settings from my M8 or if I am missing something and if there is a better sounding ROM.
I am just talking about the output of the 3,5mm port: for headphone or to a receiver...the sound of the speakers is not so important.
Is Boomsound, Beats, Harman Kardon ...mainly for the speakers or is this also important when it comes to headphones?
For example: with the alpha test version(704) of poweramp I can't use the new HiRes Output via headphones with Lineage 14.1.
When I try it then the flac will be sampled down to 16bit/48khz
I tested S.Team JW 7.5.0. with the Harman Kardon option selected, now I could play a 24bit/96KHz Flac file which was processed via DAC.
But most time I would not use this bitrate as most of my music are flac files with 16bit 44,1khz or 48khz, but i have about 400songs in 24/96.
Are there differences that one can hear with a good pair of earphones between different ROMs? Has anyone tested the ROMs for this and can tell me what was the result?
of course with same settings(standard audio player without EQ) and same flac file with 16bit/44.1KHz, if there are no differences with the standard player,then there will also be none with poweramp+viper and the other way)
Lineage14.1 runs really really smooth, no problems that I could not solve with some research by myself.
I had the impression that S.team JW 7.5.0 sometimes had delays and stops when opening or scrolling lists, not so smooth...
on the other hand I really liked the cam (dual cam, slowmo ...)and lineage has no theme engine atm and samples down HR audio files...
I had 1 day between the playbacks and it was very hard to tell if there was a difference...I hope someone can shed some light one this topic.
Really? No one? Have I posted this question in the wrong forum? Maybe the M8 General would have been better?
I don't want to post the same question again there. Would it be possible to move this thread there?
I have reinstalled the S.Team JW ROM. The sound had more punch, but I don't know how this was created...but I am used to CM since 5 years and there are so many apps and stuff that I don't use and can't remove...
I will try CM13 because of theme engine which I miss in Lineage 14.1
Thanks in advance

Audio isn't exactly ROM dependent. AOSP ROMs will have AOSP audio. Sense based ROMs will have BoomSound. If you are S-Off, you can flash the Harman/Kardon audio.lib files plus the ADSP that the Sprint H/K model had, which is a part of firmware not ROM (you need the ADSP to make the H/K mod work properly).
S-Rom does some ADSP/firmware modifications that often affects audio quality, so you might have to (probably will have to) re-flash you current firmware version to fix that up.
Moto eq on custom roms , you must be rooted I'm on Arrow and works like a charm ,from the great Munchyvideo

Razer Dolby Atmos is junk compared to MIUI's Dolby Atmos. Forget this module.
Same with Moto Dolby, although that one's even worse.
We have yet to get a great Dolby Atmos experience on Custom ROMs beside Xiaomi.eu.
Someone with coding skills needs to port MIUI Dolby Atmos or the one from Samsung.

I will agree with you but it still works basically built in EQ , I use it to boost audio on some low audio apps like locast TV app here in the us the volume boost I can do is great

Did you try the new AICP rom version? It's coming with Dolby. What's the difference between the MIUI/Samsung one and this?

Dolby Atmos is different from manufacturer to manufacturer. The sound will not be universally the same.
Though Samsung's Dolby Atmos seems similar to Xiaomi's in my experience, but Samsung may be the only exception. ^^
You can just think of Dolby Atmos as enabling Surround Sound.
Some Custom ROMs come with Lenovo's Moto Dolby, which sucks ass, unfortunately.
Haven't tried AICP, but enough other ROMs to say that Custom ROMs need better sound. I'm staying with Xiaomi.eu for the moment ^^
I have tried a lot of magisk modules for dolby
Razer's Samsung's and Moto's only difference is moto's was terrible.
The only good Dolby for AOSP roms in the one within AICP. Give it a try

What kind of Dolby Atmos does AICP have? Does it sound similar to MIUI Dolby or does it sound different?

I have no Idea I think its a modified version of the oneplus but you can see the changelog to be sure, keep in mind dolby atmos drains battery

AICP has Moto Audio.
I've done few searches in the forum, just to affirm my thoughts, but I found only the points that lead to the other title of the thread, but I'll ask this frankly and clearly:
As a hardcore Arcaea player:
Am I indeed limited to Xiaomi.eu?
Or it could happen that an AOSP ROM can feature MIUI Dolby Atmos?
I'm pretty sure this is a "pick your poison" situation, as going AOSP (crDroid, to be frank, many thanks raystef66!) kills Atmos but going MIUI instead screws the UX, but I'm kind of unsure of which to pick.
If unsure, even with Moto Audio and external equaliser "Wavelet" kind of "patching" the audio quality a bit, it does not help the audio latency resulted from missing the proper audio drivers (a stark difference of 142ms just from losing Atmos), to which Arcaea is extremely sensitive, enough to urge a switch.
I'm sure I'll get some words saying I could just try this myself, and I'll agree beforehand; I just need to know how to manage a custom ROM and I could figure out MIUI Atmos. And then the licences for the ROMs, including my current selection.
If there's nothing I can do about this, feel free to autolock the thread if you must along with a Xiaomi.eu recommendation, since it just will be yet another "Dolby Atmos" thread on top of the existing pile...
alioth 12.5.6
crDroid ver8.4 (Android 12.1) 2022.04.08
TWRP 3.6.1-unofficial
(Special note: If I must be rooted for any potential solution, I could use methods to bypass CrackProof in Princess Connect! Re: Dive since I am also hardcore in that one. As of now CrackProof does not complain with the current crDroid setup, since I refused to install Magisk until required for good reason.)
EDIT: Auto-converts to emoji, yikes. I may re-edit again as I test.

Moto Audio sadly. It doesn't help--the latency is still there.
The problem is specifically about MIUI Dolby Atmos.
Hey, have you found a solution?
I'm in the same boat. Have you found an Non-MIUI Custom ROM with good Dolby Atmos?
It sucks that no one has ported MIUI Dolby Atmos yet. I wonder how much effort this would take. And if the audio driver or MIUI Dolby Atmos is proprietary.
I used to be on ArrowOS (which is lovely clean btw!), but I cannot deal with Default Sound. I got wayy too used to MIUI Dolby Atmos in Video Mode. But holy shít man, MIUI itself sucks major *ss...
I'm now flashing Xiaomi.eu 13 Stable until I find an AOSP ROM with actually good Dolby Atmos. Not the trash Moto Dolby or Razer Moto.

How's the Razer version (flashed with Magisk)?

It seems the reply above you has the same thoughts so I'm probably better off shaving some gigabytes sticking to Xiaomi.eu until MIUI Dolby Atmos is good to go...

How about trying ainur magisk mod? After trying it myself on miui to compare I never wanna use Dolby again.
Personally it's the best one I ever used - audio becomes much more crisp. It's distorted on miui implementation of dolby so I really don't think you'll get any further by yourself...

The problem isn't the crisp audio, but rather the resulting offset in Arcaea; an astounding 142ms latency. I kind of got the audio "patched" in crDroid with Wavelet before switching to Xiaomi.eu, but after I switched I noticed the horrid difference in audio latency in crDroid, gone/fixed in Xiaomi.eu. That's where the problem is.

This is what it's like on gsi
You will have to figure out how to adjust the app to use full screen tho... And the bottom but of screen is taken by the gesture pill.
Both are fixable via magisk modules
This is not headphones BTW , I have no idea what it's like with them
Another worthy mention is latest unofficial lineage 19.1 or try arrow tho idk if either stack well against audio latency... I'd try lineage tbh, I feel like it's more likely to be better audio wise and if the touch actually got fixed on the latest release like the dev said it probably should be decent.
For me the only problem with AOSP Sound effects were the Sound itself.
I didn't notice the latency being a problem, I didn't focus on that, but it may actually be a problem if you say so.
I use Bluetooth Headphones which naturally have a bit of latency, even on AptX Codex. As far as games are concerned I only play games like Dead By Daylight Mobile etc..
Dolby Atmos is a Surround Sound feature (Spacial Sound feature) and in my opinion Razer and Moto Dolby sounded like they *try* to make it spacial but instead make it sound virtualised. As if the Sound-bitrate got reduced.
MIUI Dolby is miles better, it can make music sound like it's more around your head (and not inside your head), when you select the Video-Mode. It's more immersive and emotional.
I also tried Wavelet and its paid features but I still wasn't happy.
With MIUI Dolby distortion is no problemo, at least for me. xd
