Hi all,
I've just tried and I can confirm that it's possible to connect an ASUS Xonar U3 USB sound card to XPERIA SP.
It's working perfectly, just plug & play (... the music). No apps, no drivers.
The best part is that it requires no external power, nothing. It's powered just from the phone. And beacuse it's quite small, I can take it everywhere with me
The card has its own headphone amplifier so the volume level is really high.
I don't have any other USB soundcard to test, but this one tested and ROCKS !
Or unlock your bootloader, install a custom rom, followed by a kernel that supports Fauxound and you get awesome LOUD noise aswell.
That in combination with Viper4Android with beats audio convolver... Nothing that can beat that.

The problem with faux sound is that it will saturate. If you use a dedicated soundcard the sound will be much clearer.

It's not about loudness, it's just that external soundcard sounds great and SONY audio processing (Clear Audio+) is working great with it !
And I don't need to mess with ROMs, bootloaders etc. Just connect the card and that's it !

Hi guys,
when I use a headset, the volume is most of the time not loud enough for me. Has anyone tried to increase the volume when using a headset? I'd probably root the device (SM-P600) if necessary, but I would not want to use another image then the stock image.
Has anyone experience with this?
EDIT: Typo in the title - but I guess you already figured that out
You will have to root and use viper4android mate really works a treat on all outputs. Works on the inbuilt speakers, headphones and Bluetooth each can be turned on and adjusted independently so don't have to have all on if you don't want. You can keep stock image if you want or try bindroids mega blast rom which has it preinstalled and runs a lot faster and smoother than stock does but still keeping the same look and feel.
You could use a small battery powered external microphone amp

Sometimes the solution can be so easy.
I did not know that there are small headphone amps available, but I bought one now and it solved my issues. The volume is now loud enough.

Thanks! If I will root my device one day, I'll give it definitely a try. I just wanted to avoid rooting in the first 6 months because of warranty issues, but for the moment I have a good intermediate solution.
Yes, change in system/etc/default_gain.conf.
:good:
I recently tried a few different mods I found, each had pro's and cons...
Viper | ATMOS (Dolby)
Viper | Maxx Audio
Viper | Beats
These had a significant effect on my battery life, not sure if it was the Viper part of the other part of the mod??
With the Dolby ATMOS, I liked it when I finally got the Dolby EQ set, but it's pretty hard to dial in. You'll be really close and touch the EQ, to fine tune it, and everything close to where you touch just jumped around and changed a lot.
The other issue I had, I have PowerAmp as my default player and have it set up really good..... When I would open PowerAmp, all audio mods would stop working until I reboot the phone. The only work around was to turn off all of PowerAmps audio processing and let the mods handle it, which I don't think sounded as good as PowerAmp, but make everything else sound better.
Just curious... Is there a good audio mod out there that is battery friendly?? How about one that doesn't stop when using PowerAmp?
ElementalX -> Headphone Gain + -> PowerAMP EQ(Alpha 700) or get a portable dac+amp? I got myself FiiO Q1, embedded wolfson is just sheeet.

What do you mean PowerAMP EQ?? I found the Alpha 700 build, but is there a stand-alone EQ as well or a way to make the EQ syetem wide?
Never thought about using EX headphone gain, I have that kernel and tweak app installed.
I also tried Viper with the audiophile profile and it sounded worse than stock.

By powerAMP EQ I meant, just for the music, not system wide. After going through default FX and viperAudio (I never liked it) to work with my DI.FM and other media application, I decided to get a hardware DAC+AMP.
If you're not into huge bulky dac+amp, you could get your hands on FiiO K1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0189EVGAG
It's an exceptional device with capabilities for just 40$. Works great with provided OTG Cables, but I got a single Type-C to Micro-USB so I don't have to worries about adapters/connectors.

For me Bluetooth audio works even after with this mod.
EDIT: After installing this mod, I would suggest to clean caches and do some burn in with speakers like 1 hour and let it idle for several hours like over night to calibrate it to get good balance else you might face low volumes.
correct me if i'm wrong, but doesnt our phone already support hi res audio? i listen to flac files with poweramp and mdr ex 750 na and it sounds good enought (at least for me). i'm not so audiophile person btw
i flashed it on RR 5.8.4 but is too low the volume in speaker and handsfree doesnt work (when i plug hansdfree is still play music in speaker). In call, the earpiece doesnt work - speaker is all the times. do u have an uninstall zip? or..

This mod has Noise reduction, high bit rate compared to default 16bit-98KHZ even without turning on DSXX.

Everything is working fine for me, may be you have a bad 3.5mm socket.
Just flash the rom you're using on top of the existing without wiping and clearing anything and you're good to go...

No currently this only works with stock rom, leads to mic and Bluetooth related problem in custom roms.
Though I'm looking to figure it out but it demands a lot of time to flash custom rom, test and then roll back to stock.
Tried on M-ROM
I want to assume this MOD is working on M-ROM correct? I am asking because M-ROM has all stock functionality and is basically a costomized stock rom. Has anyone tried yet? Thank you
Does this MOD mess with 1-bit single rate DSD Hi Res playback?

I have the Sony MDR-XB950N1 and they sound awesome on an iphone and ipad. But they sound like crap on my android device. I've tried both NucleaROM 7.2.1 and Bliss 6.4, and the sound is too low on both ROMs. Kernel Auditor's sound setting doesn't help at all. I would like to stay away from Viper4Android. I don't need to enhance the sound. I need to be able to adjust the gain or amplify the sound.
I don't get android at all as this has happened to some Bluetooth headphone I've used in the past. But for a USD$300.00 pair otf over-the-ear headphones, this should not happen! It sounds like a pair of headphones you buy at your local 7-eleven. Maybe I should go back to the official firmware?
Interestingly.. i installed CM13 6.01 (Dec 2016) and BT volume is 100x better than the ROMs I mentioned above. This is without the kernel auditor sound mod. I DON'T GET IT.. But at least my earlobes, eardrums, and headphone are vibrating at max volume again. I still would like a solution for Nougat ROM.

You can have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/themes-apps/apps-to-gain-microphone-volume-t3450390 it's not only for microphone problems
Yea enabling volume level works great with my daily driver, NulceaROM 7.1.x. Thanks for the heads up! Its on par with CM13 and iDevices. I'm not convinced that this issue only happens to our device. I used to have a MI phone and BT volume with nougat was abysmal also.
Hi! I have problem with sound quality on the speaker. The sound on any custom rom is without bass. On Stock rom is very good. Is it possible custom rom does't have some audio drivers or frameworks ? Could someone do some MOD for this??
Same here

Use Dolby plus on magisk. Set the fx curve to U shaped in custom settings. It gives some quality sound; creates depth in the audio. However, if you want headphone-like bass, its not possible on this phone due to speaker hardware.
