Hi Folks,
I would appreciate your help please. I'm trying to get V4A to work with Poweramp without success. I've scoured XDA and the internet for solutions.
I'm rooted running stock with Art. Has anyone running Art been able to get this combo to work? If so please help!
Thank you!
I've managed to get it to work except I have to manually turn off Poweramp's eq everytime I plug in my headphone jack or switch to BT. Anyone know how to permanently turn off Poweramp's eq? Thanks!
P.s problem solved!
I managed to turn off the pa eq! It came to me in a eureka moment as I awoke this morning. You have to unassign each preset that you have set for headphones, speaker or Bluetooth. So make sure non are showing and eq will stay off!
The combination of PA with V4A is stunning!
Unassign the presents in Poweramp or V4A?

Get SElinuxchanger if your rom is set to enforcing, set it to permissive and you have to run V4A in compatibility mode - that way it works for me, however the sound quality is MAYBE not so good in this mode, in normal mode I get better sound quality I think
Same Problem
Hey guys, for the last few weeks Viper4android worked fine on my poweramp, however suddenly the processing status was set to "no".
I did all the necessary steps to enable V4A,like disabling equalizer,direct volume control etc. , so I don't know what the problem could be. V4 A does work on other music players though. But still as I prefer it to work on my Poweramp, please help me if possible to find a solution.

I haven't been able to find more than one other person on the net with this problem on the S4, so far. When I'm listening to music on my headphones with the equalizer set up the way I like it, the bass and treble will suddenly go flat. The difference is painful. I have to stop the music and start it again, if that even works every time, and then it eventually happens, again. Anyone else have a problem/fix for this?

I have the same problem and happens with google player of music, nor find solution.
Kingbeatz
Well, I started using this EQ that I used, faithfully, on my S2 Skyrocket before this phone. Kingbeatz, by user aznrice2k4 It sounds just as awesome on this phone. Incredible difference. So far, it hasn't turned off on me. From what I can tell, you need to have a custom recovery installed to make this work. But trust me, it's an amazing difference. If you need to, just enable it under sound when you install it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104968
same issue, multiple device all eq apps

i have a sony tablet s and kyocera hydro, while i know these are not powerhouses. unless the eq is ON SCREEN, it will randomly (quickly) shut down. even the updated google play music built in eq shuts down while still in the app if i backout to the playlist. i contacted google and they sent me this
Here is what my specialist sent me,"Since the equalizer activity is a part of the system and/or Media Framework, our Music app simply launches it. Please have the user perform a Factory Data Reset. My theory is another application may have disabled it, so unless he can edit source code to re-enable it,
so, turn it off, turn it back on...well no, its a system resource thing i suspect. im looking for a way to lock it on, so it cant be shut down. unfortunately i do not have sufficient knowledge to do so. i do have superuser access. any thoughts would be appreciated.
I know this is a super old thread, but I have been searching far and wide to try and find a solution to this problem. I tried running the stock rom, stock EQ, non-stock EQ, shostock ROM, and all have the same problem where the EQ stops working either between songs or when the screen locks. It is quite annoying. To make it work again, I simply have to turn the EQ off and then back on again, but that only fixes it for one song.
Anyone been able to figure this out?

Find that in your build.prop in /system and change any that say true.
Sent from my SGH-I337 running Foxhound 2.0
In case it helps anyone else:
I installed KingBeatz (as recommended by nvkn13) as well as changed the LPA/TUNNEL settings as recommended and the problem seems to have been resolved. Not sure what one fixed it, but it is working. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Side note: KingBeatz is amazing - even with a crappy set of earbuds the sound is remarkable.
So I've been having the same problem... I'm assuming to edit those values you have to be rooted? Because I tried to edit them through file manager and it said "error occurred when saving"
I may be missing a setting somewhere but my audio via headphones is very loud. Even at the lowest setting it is probably only just bearable. I'm running custom kernel (chronic) and ROM (cyanogen) so I appreciate it isn't exactly stock!
I've tried Apollo and Play Music which both exhibit the same issue.
Before I wipe and reload again does anyone have any thoughts?
thanks

Probably the sound file was edited. You can manually edit it if you want. If not, just flash other ROMs.
See this thread for more sound loudness mod.
Thanks will give it a go!
Stopped all audio from working and hard resets the phone so didn't work unfortunately.
cheers

There used to be a thread where they teach ppl how to manually modify the sound files to increase the loudness. I can't seem to find it anymore.
I appreciate you trying. Will have a look around too.

Hi guys. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones with a weak bass response. There's nothing wrong with the drivers; after some EQing, they sound great. So obviously I began looking for an equalizer for Android. I settled on AudioFX because I used to run CyanogenMod on my old phone.
The app itself works great, so the audio isn't a problem. However, I'm seeing some weird behavior. Whenever I install an app, AudioFX crashes, and I get a "AudioFX has stopped working" message.
Has anyone else seen this?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If not, does anyone know of a better alternative for an locked phone?
Get the latest AudioFX app, but it only works with the cm music player. Or you can get the crDroid ROM, it comes with it.
But honestly just get v4a
@bestofrhcp Sorry, I meant to say "locked" in my OP. As far as I know, V4A doesn't work without the ability to install its audio driver.
Trying to achieve maximum audio quality from the axon 7 and was wondering what setup you guys are using?
Has anyone successfully flashed Viper4android?
What streaming services would be best to take advantage of the Built in Dac?
How do we know if the DAC is working? 0_o
-----
So after failing on the first try I restored using the twrp backup and gave it another shot and success!
what you'll need:
1. Root and backup before doing anything (duh)
2. Then install Busy Box. Open Busy Box app and hit install on the bottom left. after it shows a successful install DON'T reboot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
3. Install SElinuxModeChanger. Open SElinuxModeChanger and hit Permissive option
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506
4. Now install Viper4Android apk .Open Viper and you'll be prompted to install a4v driver. Click Yes and after it will say to reboot but DON'T reboot.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ar5men9o5ar7inb/ViPER4Android_FX_v2401_A4.x-A6.x.apk
5. Open Dobly and make sure its off.
6.NOW reboot and your all set.
Everything is working nicely together Dobly and viper works just like it should.

I just got it working after reading your post. I installed it by installing busybox(I believe this is needed, but not completely sure), then setting selinux to permissive, and then installing V4A 2.4.0.1.
I can't recommend any streaming services as I only listen to music locally on my device, but I will say it sounds MUCH better than Dolby Atmos when it's properly configured. I would recommend just turning off Dolby Atmos when listening to headphones. If you're listening to the loudspeakers V4A doesn't do too much so I would leave Dolby Atmos enabled in that case.
If you want to know if V4A is working, hit the menu button in the top right corner of the screen and tap on driver status. It should say the status is normal. If driver status says abnormal then it didn't install correctly.

Installed V4A the same way you did and its working great. Only problem I'm having now is that my dolby keeps crashing when opening the app.
Is your Dolby working ok with Viper?
If so, are you able to upload a back up of your Dolby app and Dolby Service file? Mine must of got corrupted when installing Viper.

Mine is working fine. I was actually surprised it worked so flawlessly. Have you tried uninstalling it to see if Dolby started working again? Do you think having Dolby enabled/disabled when installing the V4A driver would have an effect? I can't remember if mine was on or not. I'm just trying to think of differences that could have happened between our installs.
I wouldn't mind uploading the Dolby app and Service file, but I'm not quite sure how. Do you just want the two Dolby backups from a Titanium Backup or do you need something more?

Yeah, not really sure what went wrong. Think you could be right about having it enabled when flashing Viper. I've been going at it for hours trying to get it working again lol. I've tried installing other versions of Dolby, Uninstalling Viper and wiping catch but still nothing.
If you could upload your titanium back up that would be great. It might be a unique version of Dolby that comes with our Axon's.

lol No problem man. Thanks for trying to help me out any ways. Its really not a big deal not having dolby when you have viper installed. Been messing with some Viper settings and the difference in audio is Huge.
Dolby also force closes for me after installing V4A. Kind of disappointing, as I really found the surround sound effect to be quite nice. I'll just go back to using Dolby for now.

Okay, slight problem. The HiFi toggle now has no effect in any player, even the stock one. So now I'm stuck using the Snapdragon DAC.
Can you please try to install arise sound mod 3.3 and report back if the sound is now utter perfection
Arise 3.3 working perfectly here.

Does it further improve the sound to a noticeable amount and can you still use Dolby & the hifi dac option.
Thank you for your reply btw

For me it does improve the sound noticeably. Dolby doesn't work and haven't tried the hi-fi option. From what I've gathered Dolby only works on stock music and Poweramp. Arise 3.3 works everywhere.

So, I installed arise numbers 3.5 and viper works fine (viper driver says processing: yes), but Dolby crashes every time I try to open it. Is dolby still required after viper is installed?
Has anyone tried VLC player yet? I tried it and it seems to work just fine with the Hi-Fi option and Dolby Atmos.
It has also great functionality: plays music (stereo/5.1) and video, supports subtitles, etc.
EDIT: ah, and I didn't root. Just installed the app. I can fiddle with Dolby settings while music is playing; video pauses when I open the settings while playing, but resumes after I close.

no, when you have properly set up viper, the dolby app is useless anyway
I'm tired of not being able to use the music player I've used the past couple years, plus Dolby Atmos turns on and off randomly each time I start my music player, or plug in my earbuds - sometimes from song to song....So I'm ready to bite the bullet and instal V4A or maybe even Arise 3.5?
When I do that, I understand that Dolby Atmos won't work.....But would it hurt anything if I uninstall it, or disable it, using TitaniumBackup?

I've got Dolby and V4A both working just fine. The problem with Dolby seems to happen when A4V is flashed when Dolby is active. You could try turning Dolby off and freezing it. Would also be a good idea to back up the 2 Dolby files in TitaniumBackup.
3rd party equalizer apps will not work with this phone for some reason. The stock one (audio effects) is terrible and only works with Google Play Music, not other streaming apps.
Is there a way to get these to work? I have tried with stock rom and rooted stock rom with no luck. I'm open to running a custom ROM if that is what it takes.
Thanks for any help.
Works fine in Poweramp

poweramp's equalizer doesn't seem to work either. I have tried Google Play and Slacker Radio. Neither one were impacted by poweramp settings.
Certainly works here mate although it is only going to affect things played via Poweramp obviously (UK SIM free 32GB with 3GB RAM)

So this doesn't address the problem. How do you get equalizers to work universally with audio apps? Old versions of Android had no such problems. Is this a Nougat issue or a Moto version of Nougat issue?

You need magisk for viper?
As an update for this thread, I found that after rooting you can uninstall the stock Audio Effects and then 3rd party equalizers start to work. They still don't work perfectly but at least changes to the settings start making an impact.
The problem with this is changing the settings wrong causes the sound to completely crackle and go faint. resetting the equalizer settings and rebooting is the only way to get normal sound back.
