Android 9 - Custom speaker EQ and fine tunning - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I noticed that in android 9 there were some dramatic changes in the audio department and apps like ViPER4Android or Dolby Atmos work only on Oreo.
Is there a way how to fine-tune the built-in speaker audio or even enable the earpiece as the secondary speaker?
Thanks.

This one is working pretty good for me. Have also used it on a Nexus 6p previously.
Trust me for me the stock sound coupled with Blackplayer EX is just too good...!!
I always was a fan of audio mods but
OOS 3.2.1 changed it.
Dunno why..
The current atmos dap_r6.5 zip works an absolute treat when flashed through twrp. Just in case get hold of the uninstaller zip 6.5.1 to remove.
But for me this is better than the xtreme music mod or v4a, particularly using Sony bt headphones

Also divine beats works and has the dolby mod

You too noticed that...?
Yup Speaker audio has more material and loudness than before.
Headphone quality is what I love the most.

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)

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.

Question Regarding AOSP and Dolby Atmos (or "Am I indeed limited to Xiaomi.eu?")

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.

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

Question Does Dolby atmos not working with games?

Eversince i bought this phone, i always turn on dolby atmos, especially the video preset. It makes the speaker much louder and fuller when listening to music and videos. But when launching games, the sound noticably weaker and flatter as if Dolby atmos is disabled.
I have tried to toggle Atmos from the QS button but no difference. I tried it on Spotify, the disabled atmos speaker sound is similar to when playing games. Toggling the "enhance audio" option in game turbo doesn't have any effect on sound quality either.
Does this problem always there for everyone or it is just my phone?
Here's my phone details:
Poco F3 128GB
Stock MIUI 13.0.5.0 SKHIDXM Stable
it should theoretically work. i'm not on MIUI, but in an AOSP Custom ROM with a Dolby Magisk Module and it works everywhere.

Oh no doubt that Atmos in custom rom will work everywhere or at least have work around
Anyone on stock miui have the same problem as me?

Yeah i have the same problem as you. Was trying to find a solution and i found your thread. It's most noticeable in games and ringtones.

Me too were trying threads that discusses this issue but surprisingly i can't find one. I don't know whether this some random chance that our phone just doesn't work or it's the same for everyone
Do you guys just use Stock MIUI ROM or a Custom ROM like Xiaomi.eu ?
I remember playing Dead by Daylight on Xiaomi.eu MIUI 13 (don't remember if Stable or Weekly), and Dolby Atmos definitely worked during that gaming-session!
I'll be going from AOSP back to Stock Poco MIUI. Will check for Dolby in Games.

I'm on stock MIUI 13.0.5.0 SKHIDXM. So far this has been happening since miui 12.5 days back when i first bought this phone in January 2022. Never rooted, never unlocked the bootloader, all stock.
