So after hours of attempts, I have given up on trying to make Viper4Android run since troubleshooting it requires far, far too much tinkering for my skill levels, or bravery with my brand new phone. The issue was that the driver would never run, so enabling V4A would make no difference to the volume whatsoever.
Right now all I want is to get the standard adaptive sound features of the S7 restored. I have uninstalled the driver through the app, uninstalled the app, renamed the original augio config file, unfrozen adaptive sound and rebooted but now Poweramp says the ROM doesn't support direct volume control, and also enabling UHD upscaling doesn't seem to have any effect on sound quality anymore. What's worse, audio sometimes crashes system-wide, causing music and youtube playback to freeze. Would a factory reset fix this?

You mean a factory reset wouldn't fix the issue?
Do a fctory reset. After that if the problem is not fixed write with odin a full firmware. My guess is that your problem will be solved by reset

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.

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"
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.
I use to be able to go to Settings->Sound and vibration->Sound quality and effects (all the way at the bottom) and make some nice adjustments to the sound. But I've been locked out of this area recently. I've read somewhere that you have to have a compatible device plugged in or paired bluetooth device to be able to adjust things, but it use to work with virtually everything I had from BT headphones to the BT audio in my cars. But now for some reason, I can't even get into the setting. It definitely worked right after updating to Nougat and there hasn't been an update since then. Tapping on the settings does nothing. Anyone run into this issue? I'd rather not of the Factory reset if I don't have to...
Thanks!
Well, ended up Factory reset and the setting was accessible again with multiple audio device attached. Something went wonky...

Can someone move to galaxy s5e?
Recently on my husband's tab the audio has been out of sync from video.
Specially on YouTube the audio is in FRONT of the video which is weird.
It's all stock firmware etc. Latest updates. Running build ending in AESB
One UI version 1.1
Android 9
Rebooting fixes for a little bit but then it just comes back
Have cleared cache etc
Any ideas?

same here. WIFI version of tablet. after reboot jus until tablet goes to sleep all is ok. after wake up, video and audio is out of sync... any ideas how to fix this ?
Uninstall YouTube completely from Playstore?
Or to test audio video stack: find an audio Bluetooth device, connect it with the tablet. Is the audio and video still out of sync? Even over Bluetooth?
Since there are several audio routes in Android, temporarily using and testing might give information.
I don't have it with either normal speakers or Bluetooth.
Happened to me before. Disappeared after reboot.
It happened on mine when using HD HomeRun
Reboot helps somewhat
I am not sure if Dolby Atmos options for better sound is involved. However since Android audio stack is difficult to understand, I would like you to ask:
What happens if you turn on/off Dolby Atmos in Sound Advanced options?
Here how I discovered there is a bug in using Dolby Atmos for me too. Others reported this bug also.
