It is impossible
I don't see any equalizer in android that can support all kind of apps...but most music player is supported like PowerAMP, AOSP Music player, Apollo, etc, because the apps must call the equalizer to make sure the sound route to equalizer and not direct output.
Almost depend on your apps.
If you want to boost volume, you want to turn the volume up by yourself, DRC(Dynamic range compression) can turn the volume up too in DSP Manager, but I remove DRC function in Speaker and Bluetooth tab, it seems not work or sound problem.

[FIX - MOD] Audio Fix For AOSP Based ROMS

As many of you that when you flash an AOSP based rom such as CM11 or PA the audio becomes extremely bad. This is due to the inproper optimizations.
I have mostly resolved this problem by using Viper4Android to get the best optimal audio settings. So far it is working great but there is one thing. It is slightly lower volume but not much that it should be a problem. The reason being is that if I set it up any higher the speaker begins to crackle alot and with the settings I have applied there is no crackling for the most part. You are welcome to edit the setting at the very bottom where it says Master Gate Limiter that will adjust volume levels.
The bass is just as punchy and as rich as the Boomsound setting on sense if not better. As for the clarity it seems to be around that area where boomsound is.
Here is a comparison video that i recorded with the setting on and off. (Remember this was recorded with the M8's Microphone so its not as clear or as loud as it would be with the MOD on.)
To install.
1.) Download and install Viper4Android From HERE.
2.) Open up the app and select Install, Then Super Audio Quality and reboot device.
3.) Open up the app again and select UI Setting Then Expert.
4.) Download THIS file.
5.) Extract the folder called Viper4Android to the root of your internal SD CARD.
5.) Open up Viper4Android app then click Load Effect Profile and select OptimalAOSP.
6.) Your audio should be corrected. Feel free to mess with the settings and share with us the best settings you find.

Following thread.

Gave this a shot. As expected, the bass distortion is still present.
Audio is just plain screwed on this phone with aosp. This sounded great until bass came into play.

I know it makes a big difference via headphones but does the speaker setting improve the Z2...if so what settings do you recommend. I tried it on the speaker of my Nexus 7 and couldn't hear the difference

I tried viper4android with speaker but unfortunately the sound quality when using Walkman with ClearAudio+ gave better result than Viper4Android.

I'm using viper4android just with noice cancelling headset. I'll share my settings if anyone want to try.

I'm using Exiztenz 3.1.5 as my ROM...
My music player is PowerAMP > I set the equalizer to "Rock" > the the bass knob 1 third up and the treble 2 thirds up.
I use Sony stock audio settings > sound effects > equalizer on "Heavy" > headphone settings on Studio > Headphones as STH-30.
Then i use skull candy "smokin buds" as my headset.
Great for my liking, i only listen to EDM and Hip Hop

Does viper4android works on stock rooted .402?

yeah.. same here.. Viper makes the phone sound louder but, stock config sound just way better and clean.. People often confuse "Good Quality" with "More Volume"

Thanks for yours replies, but what configuration do you use on Sound Effects?

Is there any way to adjust phone speakers' volumes seperately? My top speaker is louder than bottom speaker. And call sound is low.

The devices in the list are the ones I have. My profiles may sound different on your devices. If you don't like it, you can change the settings. For you, I would recommend changing to Master Gain (Limiter) output gain to a lower setting, and have playback gain control off along with extra loud off.

No DDC's yet. Sorry, been kinda busy.

V3 is here! More audio profiles, add support for Moto E and JVC Xtreme Xplosives, more convolvers (not mine), and more!
A reminder to all: any profile can be tweaked. So blowing up your stuff is your fault, not mine. *This is your disclaimer*
No DDCs yet, I'll be leaving for the U.S.A.F. BMT on April 10th. I'll be be getting better equipment as well (likely toward the end of this year or early next year), it's going to be at least $5k.
Also I have a new music streaming service coming... it will be live after I get back from the military and set it up (could be a year as Cyber Transport has 8 months of training). You can try the service until it goes down on April 10th at audify.cf/audify

Improving sound quality, HD music players with lockscreen support

[ I've decided to rewrite the original description to make it more like a guide (since already I've found few interesting things ]
P8 Lite is quite ok in terms of hardware to make it nice music player. However comparing to old and rusty Samsung Galaxy Ace2 its sound quality is worse.
According to the tests (and hours of tests/comparisons I performed with two different high quality headphones) P8 Lite is only slightly worse but its main issues are significant stereo crosstalk and strangely boosted parts of middle tones.
http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p8lite-review-1280p7.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_2-review-786p5.php
While EMUI 4.0 update introduces DTS which can be enabled and helps in terms of crosstalk it does very strange thing - boosts bass and treble but decreases some middle tones thus some tracks appear to sound kind of awkward and unacceptable.
Another thing is I wanted to also benefit from the HUAWEI lockscreen (I have linked my phone with corporate account which enforced me to have the pin lock on the huawei lockscreen and because of this - having additional lockscreen was not an option for me).
Other things to be considered while trying to find a good player were: folder play (I have my stuff well organized), nice widgets, good audio quality, ui that won't make me wanna throw the phone out of the window while using it
To keep the description clean I would mention only players which are significantly better and other tweaks I've used to make the audio quality better (actually - given the hardware limitations of P8 Lite - to be as close to Ace2 as possible).
Test base:
P8Lite with Marshmallow 6.0 Stock EMUI 4.0 B564
Players which performed very well in terms of quality without any hacks/flashes/blackmagic
- MyPlayer++ (lots of configuration options in terms of audio quality, nice widgets, no huawei lockscreen support) http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-myplayer-lightweight-music-player-t2892233
- DroidSound-E (only if DTS was enabled, may also be true for other music players based on BASS library, awful widget (need thirdparty widget like PlugInMusic Player), no huawei lockscren support) https://github.com/droidmjt/Droidsound
- PowerAMP beta (as suggested by @Zero_Rik) (audio quality and configuration capabilities comparable to MyPlayer++, nice widgets (configurable), HUAWEI LOCKSCREEN SUPPORT (hurray!) http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/forum/18-poweramp-v3-testing/
Players which I don't like but do have huawei lockscreen support:
- Huawei Music Player (you didn't expect this one? )
- Google Play Music
After playing around with various players still I was unhappy with the sound quality (although PowerAMP at least apart from good overal quality introduced the lockscreen support). Also I wanted the sound to be similar across all applications therefore I did not want to use PowerAMPs equalizer.
Solution #1 - Dolby Atmos ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/themes-apps/dolby-dolby-atmos-t3305789 )
Instalation was simple (flashing two packages in a row) but required recovery to be exchanged from stock to TWRP.
Once installed Dolby Atmos was working more or less fine but did not work in any way possible with PowerAMP.
Uninstallation is possible by flashing third package. Worked nice though for DroidSound-E
Solution #2 - DSP Manager from CyanogenMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...alizer-dsp-manager-lollipop-versions-t3106546 )
Installation was simple (again two packages). No straightforward uninstall (so I've made OS backup in TWRP).
This time audio quality was really really (tested in DroidSound-E and PowerAMP)
Solution #3 - Viper4Droid (did not test this one but people say its good
Please note that flashing another recovery over existing (installing TWRP) will prevent you from updating system to any further updates (unless you reflash your original stock recovery partition).
Also worth noting that custom DSP (Atmos or DSP Manager from CM or Viper4Droid) may not work for some music players!

Or easly use Beta programm of of Poweramp

Thanks for the hint. Although it is a partial answer to my question I'll take a look on PowerAmp Beta (I remember to have some issues with PowerAmp trial).
It also does not cover the problem with Huawei lockscreen support but anyway worth checking at least in terms of the audio quality.
Edit [few minutes later] : Well... actually it does the job! THANKS! PowerAmp Beta seems to be quite a decent choice.
Most of the stuff I wanted is working flawlessly. The difference between P8Lite now+PowerAmp AND my old Ace2 is now less noticeable.
And furthermore - this BETA PowerAmp uses the EMUI lockscreen!!!
Edit [few hours of tests later]: PowerAMP seems to be so far the best choice in terms of usability and audio quality. Unfortunately still Ace2 sounds a bit (but easily noticeable) better (at least with same headphones attached). This seems to be hardware related (as per the gsmarena tests) and nothing more can be done here. Anyway - the sound quality with PowerAMP can be really good.

not a lot of music player support lockscreen on our p8lite... to name a few that works are Default Music Player, Google PlayMusic (they both support defult lockscreen controls) and MusixMatch (it has its own lockscreen control)..
I guess it shows the lockscreen controls of only those music player ( that has its own lockscreen control ) ...
P.S. MusixMatch is quite good of an option too... It has its own equalizer, lockscreen controls and quite decent sound quality too

My goal was to find something which work with Huawei LockScreen as I don't need to have two lockscreens enabled (and due to the company policy enforced on my mobile I need to have password set on Huawei LockScreen so its pointless to have two separate lockscreens
Anyway - if it works for anyone else why not to try ones with separate lockscreens and disable the Huawei one?

I've just installed TWRP and flashed Dolby Atmos ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/themes-apps/dolby-dolby-atmos-t3305789 ).
With DTS enabled, Surround OFF, Volume Leveler OFF, manualy made preset in equalizer I was able to achieve quite good audio quality in any music player now.
...unforunately this setup does not work properly with PowerAMP Beta....... (PowerAMP seems to output directly audio instead of using external equalizer even though the "MusicFX" is enabled in PowerAMP and its configuration open properly Dolby Atmos).

Try viper4android, it's the best equalizer for android. I've been using this for almost 2 years.
