I've been experiencing the "bug" where I would plug in a set of headphones and the Music app would start playing, even with it previously closed. Sometimes I would get sound out of both the headphones and speakers (with terrible quality, BTW) and would have to unplug and plug in the headphones again.
So I searched and found a free app called Disable Autoplay. I installed it last night and when I got to work this morning and plugged in my headphones, PowerAMP started up and started playing music, badly. I figured out that there's an option within Poweramp itself to stop that behavior, but it still sounded like crap no matter what I did, even toggling media control off/on/off in the Disable Autoplay app. I even uninstalled the app, then rebooted, same issue.
Finally I had to toggle Dolby Digital off then back on in Settings in order to get good sounding audio back.
I haven't had the Music app, or nemoplayer (which sometimes exhibited the same behavior as Music) autostart at all this morning, which is good, and I've edited the options in Poweramp not to start (or resume) when headphones are inserted or removed.
Has anyone else used this app and had these types of issues? I'm wondering if I reinstall it if I'm going to get the crappy audio again and won't be able to toggle Dolby off/on again to get it back. I'm really wondering if I should bother reinstalling it, since Music isn't doing its autostart anymore anyway.
Well this is crap. Every time I reboot my Tab, I have to toggle Dolby off and on in order for audio to sound right. Time for a reset.
I suggest staying away from Disable Autoplay. It seems to have do bad things, at least to the Iconia.
So, I just opened Dolby Atmos while my N7 music player was going, then I got the "Unfortunatly, Dolby has stopped". I've cleared all the data and cashe, restarted the phone and I get the same error.
I just spent over 2 hours downloading all my apps and setting it up, now I think the only option I have is to do a factory reset :crying:
Anyone have any tips on how to get it working again? It sounds really thin and lifeless without Dolby on.
[EDIT]
I just factory reset my phone, gonna start over.....ugh

Oh yeah. Dolby Atmos and certain music player apps can't be used at the same time.
Go to Settings > Application Manager/Apps > All > Dolby, and force stop. Then wait and when it becomes available clear data. Restart the phone and see if Dolby will load then

Tried that, didn't work... Only fix was uninstalling n7 music player, then doing that with Dolby.
So there seems to be a compatibility problem with n7. Poweramp locked it up, but didn't fc it.
Shuttle +, stock, and Google music all work fine
[UPDATE]
For what it's worth..
I tried replicating the issue so I could give the steps on how to get it working again.....So I downloaded n7 player again, started playing music and then went to Dolby and turned it on. I got the "force close" and went through my steps of removing n7, then going to the Dolby app (in settings) and doing a force stop, clearing the data and cashe - then rebooted and tried opening Dolby again, it did NOT open! I messed around with it for about 30 minutes and even went into the stock recovery and tried wiping the cashe (I think that was what I did). It reset all my apps and data, but didin't delete anything - Dolby still didn't open, so I had to perform a 2nd factory reset!
Luckily, I did find the backup data and backup apps in the settings, which took my setup down to about 25 minutes vs 1.5 hours.
***(NOTE TO SELF) - Don't install n7 music player, again!

Yeah, Dolby isn't compatible with every music app. I turn it off while listening to power amp as it locks up. But with YouTube or Google play music, I turn it on. Good things there's a quick toggle

I would forget to toggle and would jack it all up again.. Already performed 2 resets last night, not ready for a 3rd until the bootloader gets unlocked and I flash a custom ROM :highfive: ! So I'll just stick to compatible music apps. ....I like Shuttle+, just not as much as n7 or PowerAmp
Does anyone know if Dolby Atmos has any problem with VLC player?

Just tried it, works fine with VLC!
Dolby Atmos works with Neutron.
What about PlayerPro?
Spotify also works
I think the said apps must be updated by their devs or is it something related to Dolby itself?
If some brave soul with the phone is willing, I'd say re-test power amp.
Right after installing it, without playing any music, go to audio > advanced tweaks, and disable both direct volume control and Bluetooth Direct Volume Control. Just a guess, but similar to how ViperAudio functions, disabling those should make power amp play nice. Not sure about n7 thou, never used it.

Lol......I'm not brave enough! My phone has been running flawless now since Friday, but Thursday I had to do 2 factory resets... Not ready to "test" and have to do a 3rd just yet.
Maybe later this week, or weekend? I really miss n7, but I kind of forgot how nice (and simple) Shuttle+ is
Dolby Atmos works with Poweramp Alpha Build 703.
Just an update.... Dolbly Atmos no longer FC's on the B27 build while using n7, it just doesn't turn on at all when n7 is installed. The stock EQ works on n7, but you lose the system wide EQ of Dolby Atmos.
I wish there was a way to completely disable the EQ inside n7 player and just use Dolby Atmos. It shows "off", but somewhere in it's code it has something that Dolby Atmos recognizes and won't turn on until it's completely uninstalled.

n7 Player October 19th release - UPDATE
Now, Dolby Atmost disables when the player is on and as long as it's in the recent apps list.... If you close the player, clear it out of the recent apps and make sure it's swiped out of the notification bar, then Dolby will work.
I tried turning off the n7 graphic EQ and other EQ's.......Dolby still didn't work. I then found a setting under "other" (still in the EQ menu) that had the Dolby options (Music, Movie, Talk, ect...)... When I set it to "Music", it sounded really good, but when I tried to open Dolby Atmos to adjust it, Dolby Atmos crashed....So I don't think it's the same "Dolby" and may be the reason behind all the conflicts. I had to uninstall n7 completely to get Dolby Atmos to work again.
Getting frustrated with this... I like Shuttle+ and I also found Rocket Player for $3.99 in the Amazon app store.....But I miss my n7 Player.
Foobar also works very well. I'm using it along with VLC, Spotify and Youtube for my media needs, and every app works with dolby.
disable 10 band eq in n7 it will work
Here's the only problem I have with my new Axon 7:
I'm listening to Beyondpod, and I switch Dolby Atmos on and set it to Voice (I usually have it off because Poweramp sounds better with it's own DVC).
I pause Beyondpod, press play again and Atmos immediately switches to Music mode. Every. Single. Time. Every time I press pause then play, BAM straight to Music mode. What kind of bug is this?
This has happened to me with Podcast Addict, but not whenever I pause. I think it's how the Dolby Atom app is programmed. Certain apps or types of apps seem to trigger certain modes.
Yep, same random issue... Seems better since B29 (USA model), but every so often it'll reset.
I'm rooted and tried a few different "sound mods" that disabled Dolby Atmos.... I liked them, but there must be something with the A7 audio chip that throws other mods off. V4a kept losing volume and resetting to flat (even though the faders showed my settings. A few others made it distort and sound bad. So, I restored my back up and am sticking with DA for now.
Forgot to say I'm stock, B29 A2017U.
Glad it's not just me. Hopefully a patch will sort it out. I really miss Viper, but if you're having problems with it too then I'm in no rush to root to get it back!
I also have this issue... each time a new song/video is played whatever the app used, dolby resets to music preset. It seems to be another glitch of MiFavor/dolby integration. I have also posted in this thread: https: //community.zteusa.com/thread/13346 to no avail. Some moderator advised to clear all the app data, didn't work for me. So it makes dolby quite useless as for me, and the sound output of the G model isn't really its trump card to begin with. I 'm on the B05 build by the way.
Hello,
i have a n910c with stock android M (April 2016 patch) and Magisk 10.2 + Systemless Xposed v87 with lots of modules, there is a weird problem that sometimes when i reboot my phone it happens! and rebooting (sometimes couple of rebooting) fixes that!
the problem is that when i make a call with phone or whatsapp i can hear the other person's voice but they can't and my mic doesn't work
and the phone's sometimes will play the other person's something like in speaker mode!
also when this problems happens if i play a music and insert the audio jack there is no sound in ear buds and you can hear the music from phone's speaker but its at low level volume, if i take out the audio jack the phone speakers works.
i think one of my xposed modules causes this, i am sure magisk does not cause i had experienced this problem before i use magisk. sometimes enabling/disabling market unlocker and rebooting fixes my issue that's why i am not sure what causes this!
any ideas?
If I'm listening to audio or watching a video, and a notification comes in with sound turned on, once the notification sound finishes then my media volume gets much quieter than it was prior to the notification sounding.
I have to open viper, exit, and re-open for audio enhancement to kick back in. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

I haven't experienced that, but there is a module to deal with this, notification_helper remover: https://zackptg5.com/android.php#nhr
I'm assuming you'll need to flash AML afterwards, if you have viper and NHR installed.
Happens to me too. But it will break any random time, not specificly after notification tone, and turns back on after a few seconds.

That is normal behavior at least that's how it used to work. After I flashed a custom kernel the sound gets quieter but instead of getting louder again after a couple seconds, it stays quieter until I exit and re-open viper
Did you install on system ( viper)?
If you have viper as user app you should fave issues...
Lock Effect Mode
Try using "Lock Effect Mode" in V4A settings - this works for me
I received 2 SMS alerts while listening to music on earphones. The music volume temporarily dipped but then went back up and Viper kept working (it would have been obvious if it stopped working)
I'm on OOS 9.0.11, magisk 17.1, V4A FX 2.1 (2.5.0.5), USB policy patcher 1.0 and AML 1.9.2. Viper is installed as a user app with battery optimization off and the app locked in the recents screen.
Haven't noticed this specific behavior but yes, Viper randomly breaks and a reboot is required. It's happened for as long as I can remember. If anyone knows of a way to get it working again without rebooting, please respond. Switching it off and on in the app doesn't work. I'll keep an eye out for this notification issue as well.

I've also never had this happen. After any reboot I have to open and exit, re-open Viper and toggle on and off, but I've never had it stop working randomly. Once after receiving a phone call while using earphones Viper stopped working, but I didn't have to reboot to get it to work again.
Perhaps there is something different about our setups.
