Music player equalizer?

Hi, is their a equalizer in the music app on this phone? i cannot seem to find it

No there isn't unfortunately this is one of the things android has been lacking for a long time.

Sounds like osmething i can look into them myself. Any third party music players that have built in equalizers?

Nothing yet.
It's incredible to have this advanced OS, and this marketplace with 1000's of programs, but no one music player, which has equializer....
Is this an OS limitation, too hard to implement, or just simply noone had this idea yet??
By the way, I'm ready to donate to anyone who comes up with a working and good EQ for the Desire...

Astro Player Beta, BoomBoxoid both have EQs?
No experience with them, might be worth a look though?

i tired both this morning.. astro seems very basic.. no album art etc.. but works and the equaliser has an implact..
so does Boomboxiid but its almost to slick... caused my phone to lock up a few times and the player isnt that responsive so i uninstalled it.. stil though at least proves an equaliser is possible..

Any new music players with good equalisers?

A standalone EQ app (or widget) would be better than a player with eq built in.
Reason I say this is because, it could then be applied to any app you use audio via headphones or line out, rather than only working on the audio player.
say you use spotify, as well as a standalone mp3 player app. Would be good if you could use the EQ on both...

[Q] Playfulgod's CM11 Issues

I'm sorry if this is not the right thread to post it(I've searched extensively in this thread but to no avail), but I have 2 main issues with the KitKat ROM for my GNex.
FIrst of all is the issue regarding locking your screen when playing music. When I'm playing music and locking the screen, the phone will suddenly stop the music suddenly and then resumes. This gets quite irritating but I don't know if this is normal KitKat behaviour.
Secondly is that 720p playback with MX is very laggy. In my experience with stock, I've seen better peformance out of the player, and I'm kinda weirded out by this.
I'm using the stock kernel, and what not. The only app that I use that effects many apps is Greenify(Oh, and I don't greenify the music app).
Even I did a clean flash the problem persists.

I know that MX player was having issues with early builds of CM11 but don't know the particulars for Playfulgod's rom. I would try and flash another CM11 based rom and see if you have those same issues, if not you can boil it down to that particular build.

[Q] [CM12] [Desire 816] Podcasts not playing correctly on any apps.

Hello, I am having a problem playing podcasts. When I start a podcast it plays for a few seconds, then the sound cuts out but the playback continues and silent seconds go by. This happens in Podcast Addict, Podcast Republic, and happens in Apollo with downloaded podcasts as well. I don't really know why this is happening and I haven't found any way to troubleshoot the problem. Other audio/video streaming services such as Spotify, Netflix, and Youtube work perfectly. The only problems I am having with playback is with podcasts, it doesn't matter which app I use to play it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix my problem?

Hello, and welcome to XDA! I asked the moderator to move your thread to make user-generated answers available
The build you are using is experimental and has battery drain issues. Check the bugs list. Some of the framework modules and APIs conflict with each other, and some third-party apps like the ones you are using don't fully have Lollipop support yet
I recommend switching to KitKat until there is a more stable and usable ROM. I checked out the ROM thread for the version you are using and the ROM is still in the Alpha testing stage. Not even beta. Along with alpha comes unstable.
I think that a lot of noobs (I'm not saying you are one) have issues with trying to get the latest and greatest, however the latest and greatest doesn't always work properly.
Best move: Switch to KitKat.
Hope that helps, and don't forget to use the Thanks! button.

Thanks. I'll just use my old phone that has KitKat for it in the meantime while it is getting fixed.

Speaker crackles when system apps or sounds play.

When I play music through the music app that comes with lineage os or the phone rings or alarm sounds the speaker crackles but if I play sounds through SoundCloud or YouTube the sound is perfect. Im guessing it has something to do with the lock screen equalizer maybe creating lag as SoundCloud doesn't have them but phone calls do and they crackle too. I have also installed OpenGapps with pixel launcher and running on the Samsung s7. Any ideas or solutions ?

Think I might move to a new rom I think this one has too many flaws at the moment .

I had the same problem and i managed to fix this like so :
It was indeed the equalizer AudioFX that was messing the audio even with headphones, disabling it didn't worked, i had to download Magisk anyway so i figured that i would remove this ****ty app with the debloat module and it worked perfectly afterwards.
In short :
- Download Magisk and flash it on your phone
- Download and install the module Debloater (Terminal Emulator) by veez21 along with Terminal Emulator on playstore
- After rebooting, in Terminal Emulator accept root priviledge and type : "su", then "debloat", select "System Priv-Apps" with 2, find AudioFX and type its number and then enter.
- After the uninstall reboot and it will be disbled for good and the crackles should stop.
Do this or just download some debloat app on the playstore idk if there is some that work...

Thank you, your solution worked for my Samsung galaxy A5 2017 with Lineage 16 ..no more crackles!

Android Auto, in order to use Rocket Player, have to use Google Play Music first

Half question, half observation, and half speculation. That's three halves, only two of which make 100% but two out of three ain't bad.
On the completely stock but rooted 8.0 and also on the latest 8.0-based Leedroid ROM on a U.S. Unlocked HTC 10 (with latest TWRP and latest compatible SuperSU), playing music through Rocket Player on Android Auto in my 2017 Chevy Impala requires me to first load Google Play Music, play just for a moment, and then I can pause (or leave alone, doesn't matter) and switch back to Rocket Player and hit play, and it'll play just fine (it'll automatically pause Google Play Music if I hadn't already).
It's consistent - every single time (just in case "consistent" wasn't clear enough LOL). I haven't tried any AOSP/CM-based ROM, older or newer. I'm looking to keep all regular phone and text functionality so that rules out beta versions of AOSiP 8.x. Once I stop the car and restart, I have to go through the same workaround again to use Rocket Player.
With both my wife's and my Google Pixels (hers the XL 128 GB and mine, unfortunately so far, the regular Pixel 32 GB), Rocket Player works immediately.
I have done searching and reading, both through Google searching and searching specifically in the XDA Q&A and Guide/Discussion sections. Although I've seen other problems I haven't specifically found this one mentioned.
Weird! If anyone has any ideas other than switching to Google Play Music, please let me know. FYI, I've also tried disabling Google Play Music, which of course only made it so that I can't use the workaround I found, and I do plan on looking into what other music players support both Android Auto and ReplayGain. If anyone has any suggestions for a music player that fit those two requirements besides Rocket Player, I'd appreciate those suggestions as well.
Thanks!
Supports both ReplayGain and Android Auto:
Rocket Player, but with the caveat on stock HTC 10 Oreo and latest Oreo Leedroid that each time I want to use Rocket Player, I have to temporarily start playing with Google Play Music first. This problem doesn't happen on the Google Pixel with Rocket Player.
I also just noticed that the description of both the free Rocket Player and paid Rocket Player unlocker don't even mention the Android Auto feature which it most definitely does support, so perhaps I should look at all music players that do mention ReplayGain but don't mention Android Auto.
GoneMAD, description only mentions ReplayGain but I happened to notice a review in the Play Store that mentions how good it's Android Auto capability works. I don't understand why these media player authors wouldn't tout their player's Android Auto compatibility if they have it. I'll try it and report back.
Update: GoneMAD seems to have no issue on the HTC 10, I can go straight to playing in GoneMAD without playing using Google Play Music first. Since testing for an hour or so, repeatedly, I disabled the Google Play Music and Rocket Player apps, and I'll test GoneMAD again over the next few days and/or a week before I decide to buy the unlocked version from this 14-day trial version.
Those that seem to support ReplayGain but not Android Auto (haven't tried Neutron so don't absolutely know that it doesn't support Android Auto):
PowerAmp (public beta 703 in Play Store)
Neutron
Those that seem to support Android Auto but not ReplayGain (I have not actually tested any but Google Play Music, but the description of the others don't mention ReplayGain):
Google Play Music
Pulsar
MD Player
Doesn't seem to support either ReplayGain or Android Auto (haven't tried any, but nothing in the description about those features):
doubleTwist
BlackPlayer (free or paid)
Equalizer
Shuttle
Shuttle+
Musixmatch

Try Poweramp beta.

Thanks, Mate. I own PowerAmp so that's a great suggestion. I'll update if it helps alleviate the issue.
Update: Unfortunately, PowerAmp Beta doesn't support Android Auto. Google Play Music and Rocket Player are still the only media players that show up as available to Android Auto. Maybe someday, eh?
Update 2: Or maybe the Beta version of PowerAmp that's in the Play Store (build 703) isn't the latest Beta that's available. You see, I was already signed up as a beta user for PowerAmp through the Play Store, but it sounds as if there's a closed beta version available, and that they're shooting for another beta version in April, although I can't tell if it's planned that it will be a more public beta or still closed beta. The beta forum for PowerAmp doesn't mention having Android Auto capability, so I'm not too optimistic it will be included anytime soon.
Update 3: Check the OP for how I've changed it - I'm going to test GoneMAD to see how it works. It appears that it's common for music apps to not mention in their (even sometimes lengthy) descriptions that they're compatible with Android Auto. Some definitely aren't compatible, like PowerAmp and Neutron, but if GoneMAD doesn't work sufficiently well, I'll revisit others that mention ReplayGain but don't mention Android Auto, in case they secretly do support Android Auto.
I'll probably turn this thread into a Discussion/Guide thread (moving to that section) once I solve my issue, assuming I do, so people can know what apps support Android Auto without trial and error.
