Fast question for all you awesome XDA people: I watch a lot of web based video via my a500 and have found a few sites that play just fine but at a very reduced volume level.
Are there any good apps out there that would allow some basic mixer controls (preamp would be great) that any of you can recommend?
Thank you in advance!
I have used a couple, but not having my A500 at the moment...
... go to the market and search for ( equalizer...sound mixer...audio mixer ) and see what you can find
One of the big problems compared with htc one is the sound recorder of Xperia, my old X10 have the same problem.
When you go to party or disco, the sound recorded on video is ^PURE DISTORTED^, isn't possible to some developers, know the problem came from??
not possible to develop one function for solve that problem?? like "sound limiter, or manual volume option with sound meter???"
One phone created by sony with this sound bug are really bad to sony entertainment.
Some comments please...
No comments about that?!?!
Dear guys,
How can I activate dolby digital plus in Kindle fire HDX? I can not see it .
Additionally, when I flash Thor-gapps update 2 to my KFHDX, can I still use this Dolby digital plus ?
Thanks and hope to see your replies.
Good question, it seem to be a widget, but Carousel don't show widgets.
I personally find Viper4Android to be a much more interesting audio enhancer.
It's in the preferences under apps ->video

Installed Dolby Atmos on my Moto X Style. Seems to be working although I can't really tell the difference much when it's on or off. However, my loudspeaker is very low on max volume. Is there a tweak to boost the levels please?
Moto XS on stock rom has speakers quite loud. I think you have hardware problems.
Newest custom roms too. @tboy2000
Dolby atmos sample settings:
Music - master power on, volume leveler on, surround on, eq rich. Turn on music player and check if dAtmos equalizer is waving.
The Atmos equaliser does not move when sound is playing. 8 have tried a few atmos versions.
Which Atmos file version do you have that works with our phone?
If u have a custom ROM check this thread:

Hi do you think the method in that thread can help me? I don't have a problem with low sound, it's just that Dolby Atmos is not recognised in any media app outside of the built in music player. Thanks.

DAtmos should be a system app.
So, you need to root the device. I suggest do it with magisk. It has installable modules, f.e. DA, V4A etc.

Sorry maybe i wasn't clear. I am rooted and Atmos is installed via Magisk etc. Atmos works fine with built in music app but not on YouTube or anywhere else.
Some apks don't work with audio mods. Youtube, spotify...
I'm using jet audio player, black player, mx player. All of them work with DA & v4afx. @tboy2000

Strange. Have MX Player pro and it doesn't work with it either. You listed it so I assume it works for you.
Mx player - video player. @tboy2000
Sorry, mx player not working too.

BEST WORKING AUDIO MODS
Shox Audio Mod (by ScreaMySkrillEX )
Unleash the audio quality of your Redmi Note 3!
This is a sound mod especially designed for the Redmi Note 3 Pro (kenzo /kate) and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 chipset.
It also offers the option for enhancing audio via speaker,
It is a hardware level modification that enables the disabled CLS_H_HIFI DAC mode of our chipset that enhances the sound.
The aim of this mod is to offer the ability to take full advantage of the IIR filter implementation offered by Qualcomm audio codecs (WCD93xx). The IIR filters are implemented in hardware as a cascade of five biquads that can be designed independently.
FEATURES :
It enhances the soundstage and just ensures a clean audio to be put-out by the hardware. It increases the dynamic range of bass and treble the device can handle.
It enables HiFi or high-performance audio on your smartphone without any hissing sound.
The filters are implemented in hardware and independent of the ROM, kernel, and media playback software used.
It is fully compatible with other audio mods like Ainur audio, ARISE sound, ExtremeBeats, and also Viper, James DSP
The additional impact on battery usage is virtually non-existent
Options for enhancing speaker audio:
HTC 10, which uses the earpiece as a secondary speaker
Stereo, which uses the earpiece as the second speaker to provide true stereo sound from speakers.

How to check the audio output
You can analyze your device's audio output using a simple adb command:
1. If you have a rooted device, simply install a terminal emulator (or enable the one in the developer options if your rom has one)
type
Code:
su (then grant root)
dumpys media.audio_flinger
Then it will give you an output like this:
Code:
*some piece of code*
Input thread 0xee003300, name AudioIn_196, tid 18938, type 3 (RECORD):
I/O handle: 406
[B][U]Standby: no[/U][/B]
[U]Sample rate: 16000 Hz[/U]
HAL frame count: 320
HAL format: 0x1 (AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT)
HAL buffer size: 640 bytes
Channel count: 1
Channel mask: 0x00000010 (front)
[U] Processing format: 0x1 (AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT)[/U]
Processing frame size: 2 bytes
Pending config events: none
[U]Output device: 0x2 (AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER)[/U]
Input device: 0x80000004 (AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BUILTIN_MIC)
Audio source: 6 (voice recognition)
AudioStreamIn: 0xf02fd4f0 flags 0 (AUDIO_INPUT_FLAG_NONE)
Hal stream dump:
Fast capture thread: no
Fast track available: no
FastCapture not initialized
1 Tracks of which 1 are active
*some piece of code*
you should look for the one which is not in standby (bolded and underlined for you)
2. If your device is not rooted, install adb.
Connect your phone to the computer. Make sure you have "USB Debugging" enabled in the developer options.
Go to the adb install folder, hold shift button then right-click. Click on "Open Powershell/Command Prompt window here" to open adb.
once loaded, type
Code:
adb devices
It will ask for permission on the phone. Immediately accept to continue. Then you can a list of connected devices so you know that adb has detected your device
Then type:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys media.audio_flinger
reserved
Guys, which oreo roms currently support Poweramp's Hi-res outputs?
I checked through the adb, the rom which I'm currently using(ABC) doesn't.
I heard that AEX oreo also doesn't support hi-res till now. However some dude posted a screenshot that the "Experimental hi-res output" of build705alpha is working on NOS. Can you please check and report?
What about nougat roms?
I mean, seriously, yall just use MIUI's default music player? Blackplayer EX? Pulsar? Shuttle?
No audiophile of any kind??

Opensl Es hd not working
Back when I got my device I preferred Neutron in blind test vs Poweramp and I still stick to it. AIMP gets as close as I would expect from a free player.
Also Biohazard sound mod for any mainstream music, flat and clean for classical.
P.S. I might check out Player Pro some day
How tp make the audio mods work. Evrytime i try to flash these, i get some kind of errors and messed up sound server.
I only use viper, the magisk module works in every Oreo ROM. My favourite audio player is vanilla player. I'm using retro player ATM. But I don't have your standards. Also shox don't work for me anymore, get bootloops every time I flash it.

Which mod are you trying to install?
I've been trying to make Ainur Sauron work on kenzo, but I feel like the mod isn't fully working. I'll add it to the thread once I found it working. For now, I found the Qualcomm soundlib options in useroptions file useful. Dirac Hardware Hexagon addon is also working (however I don't like it). You can try it if you like the dirac effect found in MIUI roms.
My primary problem for now is the non-working hires audio capabilities of oreo roms. "None" of the audio mods or audio plugins solve the problem. All work on Nougat but not on oreo. Donno who is the culprit
Can someone list all the 24bit enabled ROMs?
any of y'all use external DACs?

i dont use Miui.
my kernel is Agni, and oreo bootleggers rom.
music player is retro(stock in bootleg rom) rarely used. mostly im using spotify.
im flashed AinurSauron, AinurjamesDSP, and shox audio. but im only using viper for adjustment sound to my preferences. my listening device right now is KZ ED16 earphone.
Any further development regarding Hi-res audio support in Oreo or even Pie ROMs? I can't get it work in Neutron MP even in Nougat. It just emits a high-pitched sound even if no song is playing. However in Poweramp it works fine and in combination with Agni kernel the sound output is pretty good. Since Nougat ROMs are no longer being updated I would like to move on to Pie but this is a big drawback.

When it comes to sound software has a very little role to play. If you use cheap headphones with the best amp it won't make them sound like expensive ones. Stop acting like you know everything.
