Hi,
I have tried to install Sound-DSPs on my OP 5t via latest Magisk, like Viper4FX 2.5, James DSP, Sauron MK III and Audio Modification Library 2.1. Everytime, when I enable the DSP it works, BUT I get little sound stutters on Playback, No matter what DSP i try to install. No matter whether i Install a single DSP or a pair/bunch with AML 2.1. As far as I know, i tried all kind of workarounds/guides to fix this frustrating problem with no success. A fluent playback with no sound-interference doesn't seem to be possible for me.
I tried the following steps:
- wipe phone & Install clean Stock-Rom ( twice tried with OS 8.1 and 9)
- root with Twrp & Magisk (everytime)
- tried with various versions of Viper4FX
- tried combos via Magisk modules:
1. Viper4FX 2.5, Sauron MK III, James DSP, AML 2.1)
2. Viper4FX 2.5, Sauron MK III, AML 2.1
3. JamesDSP, Sauron MK III, AML 2.1
4. JamesDSP, Viper4FX 2.5, AML 2.1
- tried only one DSP from the above mentioned as single DSP
- tried with SELinux "Permissive" and "Enforcing"
- tried with Stock-Kernel and Smartpack-Kernel
- tried different Kernel-Governors ( Performance-Governors helped a bit)
The funny thing is, that i even tried it with Stock-Rom based on OS 7.1 Nougat. In this OS the DSPs worked fluently(!), but other Apps didn't work correctly. On my old OP 3T with OS 7.1 everything worked fluently, too. In my opinion, there seems to be a problem with OS Versions above 7.1 Nougat. I've read a few things about audiolatency-problems in Android-Versions >= Oreo. Could it be, that with every new OS-Version that is released, the developers try to make it even more difficult for mods, to work in the correct way? Are the Android devs just sloppy?
Is someone able to help me with this annoying problem, please? (Renounce of a DSP is not an option for me, because I need good sound on my phone)
Greetings from Germany

Hi there!
It's been a long time (4 months) that i am trying to get Viper4Android working on my nexus 5X but still i couldn't.
I have tried like billions of zips, apks, ROMs, Kernels, and methods but none of 'em worked.
It's ridiculous to use the word "Charmed" in tech problems (logical problems) but it left no any other option for me )
-----------The List of Methods That I've Tried]-----------
ROMS: PureNexus, Cyanogenmod 13, Google's Stock Android 6, ResurrectionRemix, OmniROM.
Kernels: Stock Kernel, ElementalX, Franco, Phasma.
Zips: Viper4A-_Soundfix-LibFiles_-CWM.zip, Viper4A-_Build.Prop-Tweaks_-CWM.zip, LolliViPER.zip and many more.
APKS: Nearly All Versions and Editions of Viper4Android available on Marshmellow (A 4.x/FX/HiFi etc.)
Methods: Reflashing ROM, Reflashing The Whole Phone, Wiping Dalvik Cache and Cache, Disabling MusicFX, Audio_Effects.conf/Audio_Policy.conf modifications, Installing it as a system-app/normal app, Testing all of popular BusyBoxes, Installing BusyBox in both BIN and xBIN directories, Testing all of these one by one on a Fresh ROM, Testing all of these on another Nexus 5X
, Un-Rooting and Rerooting, Using SuperSu instead of ROM's stock root manager...
After trying all of these and wasting my time to get it work this i what i get:
Driver Version: 0.0.0.0
NEON Enabled: NO
Status: Abnormal
Processing: NO
Sample Rate: 0
I'll get ridiculously Happy if you could help me to get it work or even give me a clue to make it work, Thanks
V4A used to give me an issue a few months back but I haven't had any problems enabling it recently on Marshmallow or Nougat. The ARISE Sound link in my signature is V4A with a few other special codecs to make bluetooth audio sound awesome. Definitely top-notch. Flash in recovery and you're good to go. Haven't needed to run V4A in compatibility mode, tweak any files or settings. The only thing I do when I run V4A is disable MusicFX which can be found in the apps list with "Show system" enabled.
Get ViperAudio or ViperAtmos (whichever you like) and flash in TWRP. Working w/o issues on a configuration in my signature.
Hey guys,
was anybody of you able to install ViPER4Android on HTC 10 7.0 Nougat?
There is an official Nougat version released, the apk run's perfectly, nonetheless the app everytime returns that the audio drivers need to be updated/installed. After pressing "yes", my phone tells me the audio drivers were installed and I need to reboot the phone.
After the reboot the same message that there is the need to install the sound drivers?! Tried it a few times now.
And yes, my phone is rooted.
... and would you say it would make a difference to install ViPER4Android even if the Boomsound of the HTC 10 is already pretty nice?!
Thanks guys....
Hi,
It is necessary the version 2.5.0.5 and in Zip, not in Apk!
Diverse file are needed to work.
It is integrated into my Rom Pyrana NO7-0.8 with Dolby.
@+
In my honest opinion, A.R.I.S.E can do the same as what Viper4Android can do except it actually has huge device support.
I used to use it but I now don't need it due to an upgrade of the speakers I was connecting it to, works almost identically and can sometimes fix the secondary speaker that doesnt work on some ROMs. nothing third-party seems to be better optimized for boomsound though, the standard is usually the nicest sounding.
Hello everybody. I have Magisk and couldn't install Viper module, neither the usual viper .zip via TWRP.
Have you been able to install any of the available audio mods on your Z2 Play?
I too am interested.
I prefer the Atmos version, ViPERAtmos 4.8 Sony Beats Universal Edition, but I don't think it's compatible with Nougat.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I installed ARiSE sound system in my z2 play, which contains Viper and Dolby Atmos
I have a module called viper 4arise installed and its working very well

Could you post a link to the download / thread that worked for you? I can try to install and make a simple tutorial for other folks.
Thanks!
Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709 install the last stable version
Thanks! I've looked at ARISE a few times, but it seems life meant steps to install. I guess I'm going to have to bear it.
Does it sound as good at Atmos?
I manage to install it. It's overall pretty simple. You can extract the installation .prop file to /emulated/0 and edit it there to get a 1 cycle install. Otherwise your first try will do just that and return an error (so you'll have to edit the file anyways).
I tried all versions of viper there but none worked (all showed abnormal status) also, remember to mark for installation the Magisk compatibility.
I'm using Atmos, working very nicely, but still wish Viper had worked...

That's weird, I have Viper and atmos working in my device. Previously I set SElinux permissive and installed Busybox
Oh that must be it. I have it on enforcing. Will test with permissive then. Thanks!
Well, it worked! AriSE with SELinux mode changer set to permissive.
Thanks a lot!
With Dolby and viper our speakers sound WAY better! Headphones are even more awesome!
I tried to search the thread of arise but I can't find someone with a oneplus 3 who flashed arise in oreo. Thanks
Yes, I am using Arise's Magnum Opus build with Open Beta 25. Arise core module, dolby digital and Viper4Arise working fine for me. AM3D not working. What help do you need?
Really @ishanp? Okay, I guess I'll try to install it too. I just read from jamal's thread that divine beats doesn't work because busybox isn't working with oreo and I assumed that since viper also uses busybox that it won't work. Thanks bro!
Use meefik's busybox from Play Store and install in /sbin/
Alternatively if you can run Magisk you can go systemless Busybox route too.
So what's your install process with arise @ishanp? Install busybox first, then flash arise?
Precisely. Make sure you properly configure your arise.prop and keep it in /sdcard/ before flashing.
Enable ONLY Core module and Viper 2.5.0.5
Hi guys,
I just tested several Sound Mods for Android. So I want to share my best settings for the HTC U11 + U sonic Earphones with you.
Working on:
Stock based ROM (8.0 based)
LOS based ROM (8.1 based)
Install Viper4Android via MagiskManager (Get it from here or directly under Downloads in Magisk, I am using Viper4Android 2.6.0.4 with the new Material Design)
Reboot
Install the AINUR Audio Mod (Get it from here or install it directly through Magisk Manager -> Downloads -> Ainur Sauron.)
Reboot
Install AML(Audio Modification Library) via Magisk or flash it from here
Reboot
Open Viper4Android. Driver Status should be working now. If not dirty Flash your ROM and start again at 1.
Load my HTC U11 Profile that I attached to this post. When using Viper4Android FX greater or equal to version 1.6 than use the v2 Profile. Everything lower than Viper4Android FX 1.6 just use the v1 Profile. Unzip the attached File to the Viper4Android Folder at the Internal Storage of your Device. Dont forget to load the Profile in V4A.
Hope you are enjoing this as much as I do. If you got any recommendations or suggestions let me know.
for me is processing on no, have already made as described a dirty flash of my Rom
edit: I have solved the problem with the music player just pause and play again and it works

Hmm maybe its a problem with sauron that Dolby dont work when you flash sauron before. As I said I recommend a complete wipe then it should work without any problems.

I saw in Leedroid thread that you have to change a line in arise_parameters1.prop , to avoid bootloops
After flashed as your instructions, everything works like a charm bur only ANC not work anymore
I finally got it to work, but sound quality is not as good as on Dolby Atmos Nougat, I think I will stick to V4A + usb dongle boost mod till dolby is updated
Will just the viper4Android work and give good sound quality
Sent from my 2PZC5 using XDA Free mobile app
Actual Dolby can't work while V4A works, at least with me, I have to disable one of them so the other work, but anyway actual dolby on oreo is not good as audio quality, it was way better on Nougat
I have yet to get Ahrion's version of Viper4Android FX to work. Even his AM3D Zirene Sound hasn't worked for the 11 since Magisk. The only one that works for me is ShadySquirrel's for Magisk v15.

I can use Ahrion's version, but it has to be the v1.5.2/2.5.0.5 version. I've never been able to get any 2.3.4.0 versions to work on Oreo, due to the driver not being able to install.
Anybody get Dolby to install? I'm getting Api error
Should we install Unity or standard version from the official thread?

I must reckon the new Dolby port on Oreo is pretty good, I am using dynamic selection to boost both surround and bass. Always be sure to have Dolby surround mode On (green icon)
