Sound Quality on Nougat Based ROMs

Hi Everyone,
Is it just me or the sound quality after updating to Nougat has really gone down (that we need upgrades like A.R.I.S.E or Divine beats?). Earlier I noticed that we used to have a simple mod for any sound i.e. Viper4Android, which is still MOTHER OF ALL SOUND MODs for me .
I noticed that the audio playback is having VERY MUFFLED bass through my home theatre system over the same bluetooth connection while playing with MM ROM. I tried rolling back to MM and things work perfectly. I wish to stay on Nougat for obvious advantages of the newer UI, better battery & performance but would still like to see if anyone can port the lib from MM to N?
I don't essentially want to install ARISE or Divine Beats; for me Viper4Android is just fine and I would love if it works just the way it used to on MM.
PS: I bought my home theatre after tweaking Viper v2.5.0.5 on MM and the same is not working after updating to N.... any help is appreciated.

I use Beats Audio player & Audio Tuner from sound settings. On headphones sounds good.

The sound libraries have DEFINITELY changed in the system which are truly worse than Marshmallow!
I certainly need someone's help in getting them Ported back or else I have no other option other than rolling back to MM (since I spend 4-5 hrs/day on music). :crying:

Viper4Android and Divine beats/A.R.I.S.E are completely different. Divine beats and arise change your music first without you going into the app to change things. When I installed freedomOS with Divine beats, I notice my bass was extremely overpowered and everything just sounded like crap.... I really don't understand people's music choices sometimes. All these sound mods just make the phone sound like crap, especially since the OP3 already has a much warmer profile, meaning the bass and highs are very pronounced from the box

Exactly my point.
Even though the sound out of box was very good, using Viper4Android would take it to the next level. But Divine/A.R.I.S.E fiddle too much and extort the audio.
Marshmallow sound libraries were literally awesome and V4A on top of it would just make it mind blowing. Don't know how to get that same experience without going back from Nougat. :'(

Well you can install freedomOS without the Divine beats and what not, install Blu_spark kernel and set it to SElinux to permissive. Then you can install Viper4Android on its own and you'll have some nice audio.

I strongly recommend against this. Just install Magisk or use something that comes with Magisk preinstalled and install the Viper4Android from the Magisk repo / Magisk module. There is also one for Dolby Atmos. That way you don't have to mess with SELinux or modify system files.
Nah...Didn't go well.
Still the same sound quality. Muffled and garbled.
I have the EXACT same issue. I can't believe OnePlus went ahead and did this. Who do I tell?
I have great sound...experienceos + viper4arise with magisk. Install permissive script for magisk to avoid overheating issues. Dont tinker to much in viper . This is my speaker setting its loud and very clear. I love it.

I beg to differ from your opinion here though.
After trying out 4 different Nougat based ROMs and 4 different Marshmallow based ROMs (yeah....took a lot of time with clean installation and stuff), I easily infer that OP3 Nougat ROMs have REALLY POOR sound libraries. Viper4Android alone works well with Marshmallow based ROMs (and using it with A.R.I.S.E/Divine Beats/etc. makes it even better) and bass doesn't distort at all (saved a few Viper Profiles and re-used them between ROMs). But the same profile in Viper on Nougat sounds just CRAP!!
Don't know what the solution here. Just wish there was some way to find out what is it that is causing this to happen? Which part of sound library or which file? Can anyone help?

Headphone Output Volume

Hi guys, recently I noticed that the headphone jack output isn't as loud it used to be in the OOS 3.X days.
For example, setting my OnePlus X aside and comparing the two, I would much rather prefer the louder, more aggressive tones it produces compared to the OP3.
Does anyone know what I could do to work around this? I have the bluspark kernel currently. I flashed francokernel to use gain control and was running into stability issues and bootloops before i could even get to it.
I'm currently on OB14 and my daily driver IEMs are the Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HDs.
Thanks.
Use ARISE Sound mod + V4A. These work great. Also these are included in popular roms like FreedomOS & ExperienceOS.
Hope this helps.

Do one thing flash FreedomOS and in aroma select Arkamysa and Viper 2.5 (or whichever is latest), do not select anything else in Audio Mods. It will work for sure.

Get Viper4Android, do not get any audio mods that come with ROMs if you really do care about audio quality. All these different audio mods make music sound like absolute trash and remove a lot of clarity. Viper4Android doesn't change the sound if you don't want it too and you can go to the last option and boost the gain by I think 10db... That is plenty enough to bring it back to the loudness you like (probably way higher) while not deteriorating the sound much.

Audio mods- what's everybody using?

So one of my biggest factors in choosing a phone used to be the ability to mod audio.
After having a S8 and no root i found solutions for the lack volume and vibrant sound through non root solutions. Such as eq apps that actually do a great job at boosting volume, and using quality head phones.
With SU now supported i would like to hear what others are doing. I saw the majisk update to 14.2 but my majisk knowledge is lacking so I was waiting till someone posted more about the support on our device.
I'm on tmob variant btw.
I am using a app called equalizer Fx and freezing the built in eq with TB
Before are screens of my setup for the audio eq that really boost headphone volume quite a bit.
Thanks

I was gonna try v4a but the driver won't install. Do I need magisk for that? I rooted with cfar

I know there are quite a few magisk modules for audio including Viper audio. I think we need magisk or a recovery for Viper. You could try removing deep buffering in the mixer path.xml system/etc but i don't think that will help. I think we need more to get it working. Thanks for coming in though

Is there any need for music mods like viper?

Just wandering if there is any need for mods like viper to enhance the music experience of this phone, considering it already has the dolby app? Or can viper and dolby play nicely together to make the phone even louder?

I have used viper with dolby. Sometimes it does not work as expected but personally i found the dolby to be enough.
I used the magisk modules.

For the speakers, no, dolby kicks ass there & I can't seem to match it with viper...
... Except I barely use the speakers as good as they are! I use my Bluetooth over ear headphones most of the tone and viper is king for that, works very well too (I use universal audio patch & viper magisk modules)

Is it possible to delete/completely deactivate Dolby Atmos?

Hello, I bought the OP 7T a few months ago and since the first moment that I used my headphones with it I hated Dolby Atmos, it's not the first time that I have it and hate it, But now it's in my daily driver and I can't hear music anymore with it, it sounds extremely low in comparison with my previous phone (Xiaomi mi 6), so I want to delete or deactivate Dolby Atmos and be able to use the Android's stock Equalizer. I really need to find a way to do it or I'll start looking for another phone without it...
I was able to do it when connected to bluetooth but now when just on speaker. I've not tried on headphones. Is the option for None just not there when on headphones?
Man,
Dolby atmos is a beast. It’s my dream to use it since i used it in htc one long time ago. Howeveri Don't know whats your problem with sound(it never happened to me). Incase of increasing the sound you should use poweramp.Although It's paid but i have to say, it's Worth it for just a couple of bucks and use it lifetim.

I've tried poweramp but it barely makes a difference, i'm not kidding when I say that the volumen it's not even the half of what it was with my other phone, and the headphones aren't the issue, but since I used Dolby Atmos in my Yogabook I noticed that the volume was lower in headphones and external speakers
I posted a guide how to permanently disable dolby atmos in here: LINK
After removing it, dolby atmos is still in device the settings but nothing will happen when you click it.

Follow instructions and you will be able to use equalizer for Atmos,also with option to disable it of still not convinced

There's no android stock equalizer. We have Dolby. That's it. Read through that thread.
To re-enable:
Code:
adb shell pm enable com.oneplus.sound.tuner
