Huawei p8 lite headphones low volume problem - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having this problem a few weeks after I purchased it, I tried installing atmos dolby mod but it doesn't work, I also note that this is a problem with the included headphones only, and no, I do not want other headphones.

Does problem persists if you use other headphones? I want you to check it. Not replace it.

Not having a problem with any of my other headphones but I like that particular pair a lot. Just hurt my heart that two of my favorite things are not compatible.

Problem solved..your device does not like those headphones.. Could be the jack of your headphones or the amount of sections on the 3.5mm jack. Either way it looks like its not going to play.
I have same issue with my Piston2 as well. I noticed if you either put it in VERY slowly, and or a button when pressing in. The audio will work (but the buttons on the Piston2 still malfunction)

Try using the headphones with another phone or computer? Just to make sure nothing is wrong with the cans themselves.

DAC +Dolby + Viper4Android V4a?

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.

How do I boost the Spotify sound volume trough bluetooth headset?

As the title states; How do I boost the Spotify sound volume trough my bluetooth headset?
I recently bought a BT headset and I noticed that the volume coming from Spotify is lower than usual. Is there a quick fix for?
I do not have Viper4Android installed or any other 3th party EQ.

If you dont want to use sound mods like Viper, Dolby etc; you may want to edit responsible lines(i dont know) mixer_gains and mixer_paths files in /system/etc. Perhaps you can find if there is already edited ones. Although i suggest you to try Viper4Android or other sound mods.

I tried looking for it without any luck. The line editing thing.
I'm also unsure how to install Viper. It always came with my ROMS, but the current ROM doesn't have it.

Weak speakerphone after upgrade to Nougat

has anyone here notice a weak speakerphone on Nougat 7.1.1?
i just noticed a significant loss of audio when using speakerphone, even I have successfully installed Dolby Atmos.
my phone is C9000, unrooted. has anyone has a fix on this issue, weak speakerphone on Nougat on C9 Pro?
thanks in advance!
Did you find the solution..?
The main cause I found out is that, I have installed much lower version of viper4android which is for Marshmallows, you have to install viper4android for Nougat. That's the solution, its normal now again.

Equalizer broken with the new Oreo update

My P10+ vky-al00 recently got the Oreo and EMUI 8 update. The update is fine except for the fact that that it completely broke the phone's equalizer. Every time I use equalizer settings while listening to music via a pair of 3.5mm earphones, I get a high-pitched whiney distorted sound. This applies to pretty much every music and equalizer app on the Play store.
Does anyone also have this issue? Is there a fix?

The speakers work fine - with the equalizers and everything. It's the 3.5mm jack that's giving me problems. I didn't have this problem with Nougat and EMUI 5.1 so it's really annoying.

I've tried it with three different pairs, it doesn't make a difference. I suppose rolling back via HiSuite would fix it but I don't want to lose my data.
I'm having the same issues with my mate 9 after the Oreo update. Every equalizer app I've tried no longer works no matter the music service (google, Spotify, podcasts, downloaded music etc) whether using wired headphones or Bluetooth headphones. When turned on the music becomes extremely distorted. I had no problems before the Oreo update.
I get the same problem with Bluetooth loudspeakers.
---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------
Seems like it is directly related to the bass boosting aspect. I was able to get Equalizer FX to work and sound decent with bass boost turned off and just manually adjust the equalizer settings. The second the bass boost effect is turned on it gets all distorted.
I have the same issue with my Huawei mate 9. I reported the issue to Huawei official support center, but I do not know if the issue will be fixed.
My article about this issue:
https://qiita.com/discoheavan/items/eb800288717b9d44a4f0
I too have been experiencing this audio anomaly when using wired or Bluetooth headphones and I agree that this has something to do with the bass augmentation of a stand-alone equalizer app or player with built-in equalizer. Disabling it helps but, in my case, when I hit the next or previous song button during the song it happens again. If I let the song continue without interruption, the sound continues to be fine. Weird. I hope this is fixed soon.
Yes, its was happen to me also. listening music with equalizer apps, the so freak like singer whispering to your ears. But when i turn the EQ off, the sound normal. Before updating to android 8, the EQ apps work like a champ. Sounds really boosted. Heard android 8.0 having some bugs on audio.
Same problem with P10+ and using eq FX bass booster, and when search a new song or click next-button, th eq turns off and had to started again. Why an earth P10 models have no in-built equalizer :/

Same problem for me also, but i have Honor 8 Pro (EMUI 8.0), with Equalizer FX pro. if i enabled the Bass Booster option some kind of serious noise is coming. And i tried with many other equalizer app on play store, but no use same distortion sound is coming. But on Nougat it was so fine.
it is the problem of all EMUI 8.0 users, but here only few peoples are complaining about this. how the Huawei going to take this as serious problem.
Audio effects in Oreo seems to be seriously broken. Major League dsps (v4a, jamesdsp) aren't working either. Seems there is no way to load them, until now at least.
I've got some basic Jetaudio effects/equalization to work, but still pretty far of what I expect...
So there's been no word from Huawei about a fix? That's a bummer. I can't enjoy any of my music without a decent bass boost.
Today new fw was released VTR-L29 8.0.0.365(C432) -still not working.
1st official fw release VTR-L29 8.0.0.360(C432) not working.
because equalizer is too important for me, I have to downgrade again to
VTR-L29C432B185(last nougat version)
at least its possible through Huawei Firmware finder, but You need to have backup from High Suite. (downgrade will wipe all your data and phone will be set as new device)
Got an Huawei P Smart out of the box with Emui8, i also can't use an equalizer, i always used EqualizerFX to, if turn on Bass booster i hear almost nothing of the music is playing
I had write to dutch support of Huawei but didnt get a proper anwser, so asked them again why i can't adjust the bass, and i think there is no nougat rom for my phone, was thinking for replacing for another phone

I can confirm, that problem with equalizer is still the same - Huawei P8 lite - I tried a lot of apps - equalizer with headphones or bluethoot not working (only high noise). Android 8.0.0., EMUI 8.0.0.
I have same problem, high pitch sound after instalation and enabling the equalizer.
WTF ?
Huawei P10 Lite
I confirmed the malfunction of bassboost was fixed on my mate 9 by updating OS to android pie.
Perhaps the other huawei devices may also work fine with the latest OS. Has anyone confirmed?
P10 lite eq
There is a reasonable way to get your oreo updated device which is missing eq, to function in acceptable parameters. Download stellio player and merge it's functional eq and bass boost with eqfy, which is Spotify official equalizer. Find the best settings and enjoy. It's not perfect but it's much better than nothing, and no pitch sounds.
