[Q] Sound mod ?

I'm looking for a proper solution to make sound better ...
I've tried it with stock player and poweramp. Using musicbox (on viperx 2.7 atm) also tried beats sound enhancer, but .. all sound flat. Maybe can call it clear, but not enough bass (yes, i'm a bass lover). Using it with an AKG headset, if i plug it to my pc i blows my mind, but on phone .. sounds like sh*t. Clear, middle ok, but not enoug bass.
Any advice for a proper _working_ mod which maybe i can configure ? My old sensation used to sound better even with it's stock headset -.-
Thanks forward for helping

Poweramp contains customisable settings that add bass, doesn't it? I use it and the bass it fine, cracking it all the way up is overkill for me.

Tone settings work like ... Well it's flatten the whole. Not a solution for me :\ The main problem is that it should like when i plug onto my pc. But it not sounds like that, not even near (zero bass). And the tone control in poweramp only adds dB on certain freqs - means distorting and still not sounding good.

Strange is that winamp sound better, although no beats support but got a "normal" bass (for me) but it's not clear :\ On stock player & poweramp - clean, but less bass and nowhere to configure .. no poweramp tone settings / equalizer is not the solution. It makes it even worse (seems to disable beats - which is basically an eq / tone preset afaik)

try 3player (cube player)
it looks and sounds great , has an equaliser as well

I am a bit of an audiophile myself and this is my setup,
PlayerPro + OneXtrm Sound Enhancer
It has the MusicBox mod for viper x included.
PowerAMP doesnt support the OneX, just check the changelog on the most recent version of PowerAMP
Backup up your working ROM, flash and read twice before clicking next in the aroma installer and enjoy the BASSS

PowerAMP has gone to crap....
Tested PlayerPro for about a day and a half before I bought it and then I found out it has a DSP add-on that works beyond super with MusicBox..
Sometimes I have to remove my earbuds just to regain consciousness lol :cyclops:

Headset volume not very loud

So I picked up my LG3 for sprint over the weekend. Loving the phone so far, coming from a HTC one M7. Definitely prefer the G3 in every aspect however one thing I noticed is the headset volume is not as loud. Which sucks because I use my phone at the gym and it's a big difference from the HTC one. Is there an app that you guys would recommend to solve this issue? I saw someone mention the Beats Audio app, but can't seem to find it...
OR am I stuck until we can get a root and load a kernel to fix this?

Which headset/earbuds are you using?
Which music player are you using?
I use PowerAmp for Android (I also purchased the unlocker).
This app has hands down the best equalizer/booster/settings for any aspect of listening to music.
Try the free version, if it has solved your problem you may consider buying the unlocker.
Hope this has helped you out

Thanks Man,
I can use the stock music player it comes with since it has an equalizer as well and noticed it does make it louder. However, I mostly stream through soundcloud and so the equalizer doesn't have an effect on that.

There are also equalizers that will alter all the sound coming out of the phone.
No matter what the audio source is.
This app does that, you might give it a try.

Yea it sucks i got skullcandy navigators and not even poweramp sounds good but after its rooted I can modify sound file and install viper like my s5 and then it will pump.

You can change all the audio settings using ViperAudio search XDA and you will find the page, i have used this and doubles the volume and clarity, must have android mod..

I am using klipsh ear buds and they are super loud. Hurts my ears to go past about 75%. And I don't have sensitive ears either. I have a jl w7 13.5 which blasts my ears about 2 hours a day

Speaker Quality

I just got a new GPad GPE, I love it, but the speakers sound TERRIBLE.
Music sounds very muffled with a "tinny" quality. I haven't heard anything this bad on a portable device before.
Is this a common problem with GPads? Or should I look at sending it back.
Thanks!

Mine is fine as my other devices.

If you are using my kernel, you can adjust the gain and other speaker settings using either Trickstermod or the Faux sound application. The driver for sound control in my kernel is not "the latest", and you will get told as much if you download the Faux app, but it is what works on our kernel. Adjusting from Trickster worked for me. It's not a total solution, but much, much better than nothing!

Htc one m8 beat audio or speaker boost?

Hi, i wanted to volume up my m8's speakers, i have Viper rom, and V4A installed, but i noticed that Htc One m7 is better on speakers than M8, because of IntenseBLAST mod provided to m7, is there a way to volume up my speakers? There must be a way, this intense blast mod doesnt work for m8 cuz M8 doesnt have Beats audio, can someone help here?
Thanks in advance.

There is a mixer file you can mess with manually to boost the volume, but it will create noise/distortion so its not worth it.

What mixer? Can U help me a little with it?
So it seems that M7 is louder on speakers than M8? Now im sad I like this phone (M8), the sound on headphones is great, on speakers too, but a little louder would be enough for me, maybe i could volume up the speakers without the distortion, just a little, would U help?
Thanks for fast reply.

Could someone guide me to edit some files responsible for speaker volume and how to edit them? I want to try so much to look how the efects would be.
Thanks so much for Your help.

Turn on Playback Gain Control in V4A and set the effect strength to how loud you want it (Slight, Moderate, or Extreme)

more loud speakers?
i have noticed that, sense roms are not to loud, you can try to install a pure android rom like cyanogenmod, liquidsmooth, carbon rom.
you will notice that the speakers will sound very loud my friend..
honestly i love sense and would like to see a sound mod to gain the perfect loudness on my M8

This only work on headphones, not on speaker, Ofc if U have set minimal loudness 1/15 in your UI and apply the gain in V4A then u will notice volume boost even on speaker, but if ur on Max in UI 15/15 then the volume wont boost. See for yourself i have checked it all already.
Cheers.

Hey, you have to go into the init.d tweaks and in several areas, change a few settings from false to true, and so on. If V4A is installed, it will contradict the pre-installed "Soundboost" software and cause distortion. I think the tweak is to turn LPA decode off., or to false. I'm in the middle of firmware updates otherwise I would post a screenshot or more particular answer. I will update the specifics soon for you.

I'd be grateful for your screenshots.
Thanks a million.

Heya man.
Have a quick look here: http://androidhackz.blogspot.com/2013/12/get-amazing-sound-quality-with.html. It goes in more depth about what I was mentioning actually. Recently when I install the V4A 2.3.3.0.zip and it ask which quality audio drive I want, another window pops up informing me that the Viper4Android app itself can handle the disabling you would need. Perhaps an older version doesn't though. Hope this helps? :good:

Thank you, Sir.

Bro, is version 1 and 2 exactly the same, only 2 being louder for headphone? Otherwise loudspeaker, gaming/earpiece the same?
When doing voice calls/Skype/Viber?messenger is the earpiece/loudspeaker louder than stock? Have you enabled stereo speakers when loudspeaker phone call?
Compatible with both Nougat and Oreo?
Thanks!

Excellent, thank you for your response!

Unfortunately did not work for me.
Upon rebooting my device I get ''sound settings'' error message followed by a low buzzing sound and no sound.
I had to copy the stock.zip default back to get my sound working again.
Could you please look into this?
My device is the XZ Premium Dual G8142.
My device has unlocked bootloader and is rooted with recovery. All instructions were followed including setting the mixer_paths to RW-R-R, not working.
