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.
This thread can now be closed!

I'm facing some weird effect on my Arc S if playing music for a longer time.
The effect:
- music is playing (mostly in background) with any kind of player app (I used CMs Apollo most of the time, but also tried Sonys Music Player and Google Music)
- the CM DSP service is running with my settings (but it doens't matter what settings are used)
- after a random interval the loudness drops and somehow treble and bass seem to be lost (sounds like low-fi radio then)
- The DSP serive isn't restarted in between (none of the processes/services seem to be restarting)
- If now a new track is started (sometimes after fifth try) volume/treble/bass are back to the expected level
- buildin volume control, etc. isn't changing (visually)
- From what i saw the audio format doens't matter (I tried mp3, mp4, ogg, wmv)
- There are no other "audio-enhancers" or what ever installed
This is sometimes really annoying when listening to audio books or mixtapes, which mostly are single longer tracks.
Behavoir was recognized on following builds:
- FreeXperia CM10 build 231, 241 and version "24-12-13" (I suspect this to be the project christmas gift)
Running Kernel 2.6.32.9
- I tried some other JellyBean ROMs but didn't kept the name
The things didn't appeared on 4.0.4 stock rom, so I suspect drivers whatever to be the root of it.
Does anyone have similar problems on their Arc S with FXP or some other JB-build??
The rest of the ROM is just fitting perfect my needs, so I would grateful so some advice how to get rid of this behaviour.
Sounds as if the DSP Manager service is being killed in order to free up RAM... You have to lock it in the memory with the help of 3rd-party stuff, for example V6 Supercharger's bulletproofing apps service.

RAM (>100MB most of the time) is good and I tried "freezing" DSP service without any luck - But this was also the first thing I had in mind as the behavior first appeared...
Edit: I tried the latest SuperCharger-Script on DSP-service without any luck (problems is still there).
Hi I have a LG GK(f220k), which is actually a korean version of G pro, I have installed a custom music fx ported from Vega R3, it works fine with poweramp and the google play music, but the problem is, it occassionally stops the effect when notification comes in such as whatsapp or ringer, and I need to enable it again by reclicking the music fx button in poweramp, then it works fine again. Sometimes it stops when I listen for long time too, i mean playing music for few hours, then suddenly I need to reclick music fx button and fix it, can anyone tell me the reason? Actually I had a g pro before and it has the same problem, I know it may be related to the compatibility. And i am thinking it might be resolved if I try to integrate the custom music fx into the system or bypass the original audio processing path by using root explorer.....such as changing lib.Thanks PS, anyone can tell me how to disable the stock camera shutter?
I discovered that after updating my phone (retus) to the December Security Patch, my bluetooth, headset, and speaker audio was quiet... Stock Audio Effects on the phone was no help, and acts as if its disabled... Even though it was not when I tried to adjust its settings. I turned it off via Google Play Music in the settings by selecting Equalizer and turning it off before doing what I describe below.
My Temp Fix was to download the "Pi Music Player" in the playstore... Go to the equalizer settings, select to use the Pi Equalizer instead of the system EQ... Then press the "Flat" button beneath the equalizer 2x. Once you do this, your phone will come alive. Now you can choose the equalizer preset of your choice, including manual and set your own if you want.
If the audio goes soft again, just press the flat button 2x in the Pi Equalizer and re-select an EQ setting and all should be well.
I am not rooted (even though I would love to be) and anyone could this to make their music/phone sound better... Even if it only works intermittently.
So far I have tested the Slacker Radio and Pi Music Player apps with Pi EQ settings and it works fine for me...

I'm on the latest stock firmware. Whenever I get a notification, the currently playing audio cuts out and takes about 10 seconds to return. It happens with AIMP (which I use because it has a eq / preamp) and the SoundCloud app. It's pretty frustrating and I've resorted to switching on Do Not Disturb, but that's not an ideal solution.
(Side note - audio on android is a pain. I've tried Viper4android on 2 different phones with multiple firmwares and the driver fails to install. I just want a preamp / eq that works system wide, so I'm not tied to a specific audio player.)
So not sure what exactly is the cause but one thing that sometimes will cause all audio to stop working is Google play music. Sometimes when I start playing music (device speakers, not Bluetooth or casted), the audio will stop working in a few seconds as if all volumes have been turned down but they're not. Music playback is still going. Verified that when this happens no other audio works as well.
In some cases the volume slider does nothing when adjusting (slider can be moved but no change in actual volume output level) and playback is still going and then audio is lost.
Playback control buttons in play music become unresponsive and eventual play music not responding message comes up. Closing app doesn't fix and still no audio in other apps or system. Restarting phone doesn't help either really. Only workaround I have found is to cast to Google home, play for a few seconds on there (which does work) and then disconnect and audio on device is functional again. Sometimes cast workaround works without reboot, otherwise the reboot is necessary.
Anyone dealing with this too? Things I should look into for suspect causes? Any help greatly appreciated.
Edit: now when audio stops on device, things become a bit more unresponsive throughout device and eventually the device restarts on own without the play music not responding message. Power off and restart options via power menu are unresponsive at this time too.

Hi Jason, I have the same issue. When I play music, the upper speaker stops emmiting audio and the lower one suddenly lowers its volume (but the audio is at full volume in the UI). the problem is that is random and also affect the phone app. so if this happen and someone call me I cant hear it.
do you resolve it?
let me know,
thanks

I tested in safe mode and verified it was not a hardware fault. I suspected it was something that happened when I was using substratum and applied a theme to Google play music. Factory reset was my only way to resolve.
Same issue here with my Pixel 2. I notice this behaviour after using a Bluetooth speaker, and disconnect from it. Sometime i lost Speaker and Microphone access to the phone. If i connect back to a bluetooth device, audio/mic in the bluetooth device work's fine.
I i reboot the phone, i regain access to speaker and MIC... until the next time i use a bluetooth speaker. I didn't notice this behaviour until last week. I have this pixel 2 phone for 2 month now.
