When I use V4A (2.7.1 form XDA Labs) with USB it works fine (also in speaker mode), but when I switch to use it with bluetooth it's not processing. Audio format is supported and status is normal.
I tried the "fixes" that solves the issues with USB but non of them worked:
Disable and enable "Master limit" in V4A, than stop music and start.Force close V4A app, open it and start music.Tried to pay music with Poweramp instead of YouTube but still nothing.
I also had this issue with the Beta 6 and now with the official release.
So does anyone know why it's not processing and how can I make it work?
Mines working.
Do you have the audio modification library in magisk, and is it enabled? If it is, disable it and reboot.

Adjust the sound with any equalizer.
At first I was very disappointed with chromecast audio, cause I wasn't able to adjust the sound (more bass). I bought the cca to connect Spotify (phone, tablet, pc) with my hifi.
But I figured it out how:
There are 2 separate ways for audio casting: 1) apps like Spotify (and many others) only send remote signals to chromecast audio, and chromecast itself downloads the music 2) the build in cast feature in Android captures the audio of the device and send that to chromecast audio.
Hence method 1 there is no possibility to use a equalizer cause the audio never pass a device (other then chromecast itself which totally lagg eq).
And in method 2: viper4android rocks! (or any other eq of your choice)

How to use the method 2? I would apply the convolver of the V4A.

Often there is a quicktile for casting, or look in settings for "cast". P.e. on my device it is in settings/display; but on your device it could be somewhere else in settings.

Could not find any settings for casting. When start casting - Viper immediately turns to No-processing. So, the sound is without V4A corrections. Pitty! Could you please come with more detailed information (for your device), so I will be able to find relevant place/way for mine.

I do not have any settings for casting. Just connect.
What I did do is switch the lock effect mode in v4a-settings to headset, so I can use the expert ui.
Or try compatible mode.
(I assume normally v4a works for you with headset).
I've noticed that on the stock equalizer I'm unable to change the bass boost and surround slider since it's greyed out.
Is there a way to fix this?

Stock equalizer?... This is surely not stock right?... Your screenshot doesn't look stock...
It is, the equalizer on my pixel 2xl, unrooted.

The equaliser is in Play Music settings. I believe the bass boost and surround sound settings may only work when using external sound sources like headphones or Bluetooth speakers. Can't check at the moment as I don't have either with me.

Bass and Surround will only work if you connect a pair of headphones or speakers, either via USB C or Bluetooth.
You can't enable it on speaker mode
Thanks guys, figured that out. I've turned them off since they distort the sound on Android auto even though they are greyed out.

Just to cheekily add to this thread, the GPM equaliser is pretty naff as it is. It'll work for a few hours, and then you suddenly loose the bass boost, and changing settings in GPM has no effect until you reboot the device again. A problem that's been around for a while with no fix.
Which is why when I rooted my P2XL with Magisk, I installed the Viper4Android module. Far more effective than MusicFX.

Yes. This is very annoying. I've reported this multiple times through chat and as per usual with any broken stock function, they just suggest 3rd party apps on the Play Store.

Hi, can you send a link to dl it ? Thanks
No, I'm afraid I can't. Not because I don't want to, but because I didn't download Viper4Android that way. If you're rooted with Magisk, you can find it in the Downloads section of Magisk Manager. If you do install it, I also recommend installing Ainur Sauron, the Audio Compatibility Patch, and the Audio Modification Library. Those four modules combined should cover all your music.
Pixel XL on latest 8.1 with root via Magisk v16 and ElementalX Kernel. Viper4Android FX version 2.5.0.5. App processes Pandora music over speakers with no problem but it does not affect notifications or ringtones. I recently upgraded from 7.1.1 with SuperSU and Franco Kernel where it did process ringtones and notifications. Any ideas why this isn't working?
Thanks in advance
Edit: It's not working over bluetooth either. Only seems to work while playing Pandora on speaker.

Have you tried to set lock effect mode: <your active setup> under settings?
For example I only have headset configured but when I enable that option it applies that configuration for everything that makes audio in my phone.
Anyone else have this problem? You are listening to music but switch to youtube or something. Or you unplug your headphones and plug them in again
When you switch back to your music player, viper4android stops working.
Reinstalling the entire app and reapplying each setting fixes it but it's too much of a hassle. Sometimes restarting a few times works too. Other than that I have no idea why this app sometimes starts working.

try disabling the default AudioFX app.

I have that always disabled.
Ever since I started using android, my choice for a DSP unit was Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO. Apparently, since the last update, the software is no longer usable. Lowering the volume only inserts a crappy stuttering sound. Since that app is old (but gold) and not updated, It seems it's finally time to move on. So, what are your takes on DSPs on Android Pie?
I need a module that does not require root or other methods of tampering with the system.
I need a module with profiles for each and every sound output (internal, jack and wireless).
I need it to auto-start on boot and work in the background without needing to set it up, or start it every time I want to use the music player or other media software.
The app mentioned above did everything I needed.
Thank you!
I'm afraid, there are no other rootless solutions for Android 8+. At least I don't know of any working one.

I tried the basic debugging solution... Idk what happened during the update but here goes my log:
>test game - volume slider working
>test youtube - volume slider working
>test sony music - volume slider creates audio glitching
>test google music - volume slider creates audio glitching
>force stop audio engine
>test sony music - volume slider creates audio glitching
>test google music - volume slider working
>force stop sony music
>test sony music - volume slider working
>reboot
>volume slider working globally
So that old but gold engine is still up for the task... Problem fixed,
UPDATE 2: problem occurring after system-wide back-up using the google back-up option. It seems it tampers with the normal operation of the integrated audio API. So, after a full back-up, a reboot and/or force restart of the DSP engine is needed. Also, sometimes after a reboot, the system is not operational again, then, the only fix is force stopping and restarting the process for the audio processor.
Will still keep an eye on the thread, maybe there are rootless solutions that could still work...
UPDATE 3. The problems persisted so I tried to access the Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO control panel from the music app (Sony Music Port - lastest version) and surprise, there was a new basic equalizer there that I never installed. It seems that Xiaomi pushed a new equalizer system to our phones that was interfering with my processor. I checked the system apps and found a new MusicFX app there. I disabled it and it seems everything is now working as intended.
The point is that for the past few days I tried to find an app that could replace EIZO, and no luck. There is no rootless system audio processor available, except those crappy riced apps from the store. So, if you want to get the most out of your audio, the solution was now found. This rootless mod almost gives you the sound quality you'll get from an iPhone 6s (mono speaker) and great sound from headphones/wireless devices.
