Hi,
I've noticed that my notification sound is impacted by the OOS Audio Tuner.
Especially *.mp3 files. They are enhanced to a point where it's not good quality anymore.
I hear almost back noises in them when Audio Tuner is activated.
Am I the only one?

the same happens to me. I have to turn off because distorts audio tuner. or clear the cache and audio data for does not distort audio tuner.

What do you mean by clearing cache ?
This does not bother anyone else ?

It is noticed that while listening through headphones that the sound is being affected by some sort of 3D/spacial/EQ process that might give the impression of "punch" for movies but at the expense of phase-y sounding vocals and smeared high notes for music.
Yikes. Thst stuff is not good for music quality. No way to turn off? The settings options seems kind of scarce.
After playing around with various music players and headphones it seems that the audio is now OK.
Not sure what happened. It may have been a headphone jack issue. Audio sounds great now.
Oooops!
There is an issue with sound quality. Compared it to a Rockbox'ed Sandisk Clip Zip with a very wide stereo track 2-channel stereo track (fyi -- Brook Benton's "Kiddio" 1960). There is some EQ bast boost and high frequency crossfeed that narrows the stereo separation. I'm going to boot from CM and see if the problem persists.
For video I would not notice the issue, but could get to me listening to music with my Klipsch S4 buds.
Update:
It is not bad. Seems part of the issue is low gain which can be increased with Volume+ or other similar app function.
Volume+ did the trick for me. Jamming to some Coheed at the moment. Sounds as good as my other tablets now
The problem was never with volume -- I think stock has plenty of volume for driving Audio Technica ATH-900x. The problem is with some sort of audio processing that affects the soundstage and frequency response.
I am not hearing it using the Google player app. Gain is not the same as volume. Both need to correlate or weak quality.
SRS processing is used and applied at the headphone output. See HD+ file \system\etc\srs_processing.cfg
This is what I use, have my settings set to Jazz "my preference", audio sounds great, not talking about low resolution MP3's.

I understand the config issue, but I am not hearing it. I should hear the sound manipulation with cymbal decay as example, but not hearing it. Weird.
Playback in CM 10.1 has the correct stereo image.
so am I
so am I ,after checking
Audio tuner is not making any effect ,screenshot of the app attached
Same with me and I also don't know what to do ?
I also experienced this bug after 2.2 update.
A restart with wiping cache 2-3 times do the trick for me and it starts working.
However there is still a bug in this app like when you change genre frequencies changes accordingly but bass space treble level remains same.
And in my opinion there is a bug in that app that cause a loudness problem, what I mean is that on my oneplus 2 ringtones are really hard to hear but sound from music or YouTube videos is loud enough to hear. Strange issue.
Hello all ZF3 owners,
I own ze520kl model and It is just me or sound is terrible after updating to Android 7? I have (almost) no bass sounds, anyone else feels this kind of difference? Equalizer makes a little of difference, but not like previously did on Android 6.0.
2 different set of headphones and 2 different player apps.
Regards,
Dan.
Others reported the same.
Looks like I have to hold on to update my phone.
The Android N update for the Zenfone 3 enables AudioWizard audio processing with wired headphones, meaning that any EQ you have on your phone's speakers will carry over to the headphones. There also may be a bug that activates certain AudioWizard presets on headphones without warning. Either way, you can fix the problem of headphone audio sounding tinny or weird by going into the Sound and Vibration settings menu while your headphones are plugged in, and selecting AudioWizard. Once in AudioWizard, set the preferences to your liking or just select Pure mode if you don't want any EQ or anything like that.
Big thanks, it worked like a charm!
Regards!

Will try that settings. Thanks for the advice. :good::good::good:
Sorry for reviving this old thread. I updated to Nougat the day I got this phone and learned that audio quality is worse than my last phone, even with AudioWizard set to Pure. Will audio sound better with the AudioWizard app and service disabled?

I also found two audio packages, "com.asus.maxxaudio" and "com.asus.maxxaudiowizard" which I can't disable via ADB because I'm not rooted.
my sound wasn't good when i was listening to music on poweramp so i froze the soundalive app, i unfroze it afterwards but when i go to sound quality and effects settings, change the bass, trebel, uhq upscaler, tube amp etc. It has no effect at all. how can i repair this ? thank you

try to install poweramp app. it's a great music player, they working on this project around 10 years and improving every month so it works great
I updated my headunit today via this post.
All is working great except my sound. I tried both the normal sound settings and the dolby settings. on the normal sound settings my sound is really low compared to before the update. when i start dolby and enable it, its louder but not great still.
But when i turn it from 19/20 i get a weird sound. like my speakers turn on again but with the sound from before the update. i get more bass and the sound is more clear in general.
when i turn it back down to 19 It's bad again.
Could this be a problem with dolby? or with the update?
Anyone got an idea? Can't figure it out.
Thanks!
Firmware before the update: watch pictures.
