[solved] Require a kernel or ROM that can adjust sound gain - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Sony MDR-XB950N1 and they sound awesome on an iphone and ipad. But they sound like crap on my android device. I've tried both NucleaROM 7.2.1 and Bliss 6.4, and the sound is too low on both ROMs. Kernel Auditor's sound setting doesn't help at all. I would like to stay away from Viper4Android. I don't need to enhance the sound. I need to be able to adjust the gain or amplify the sound.
I don't get android at all as this has happened to some Bluetooth headphone I've used in the past. But for a USD$300.00 pair otf over-the-ear headphones, this should not happen! It sounds like a pair of headphones you buy at your local 7-eleven. Maybe I should go back to the official firmware?

Interestingly.. i installed CM13 6.01 (Dec 2016) and BT volume is 100x better than the ROMs I mentioned above. This is without the kernel auditor sound mod. I DON'T GET IT.. But at least my earlobes, eardrums, and headphone are vibrating at max volume again. I still would like a solution for Nougat ROM.

You can have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/themes-apps/apps-to-gain-microphone-volume-t3450390 it's not only for microphone problems

Yea enabling volume level works great with my daily driver, NulceaROM 7.1.x. Thanks for the heads up! Its on par with CM13 and iDevices. I'm not convinced that this issue only happens to our device. I used to have a MI phone and BT volume with nougat was abysmal also.

[Question] How to regain excellent audio quality on X Pure?

Dear folks,
Currently I have installed custom ROMs on my X Pure to experience Android 7.0 Nougat beforehand.
However, I cannot bear the terrible audio quality my phone offers now. Loudspeakers reduced it original volume down to about 60% compared to stock. And when plugged in a headphone, there was almost no bass to all songs :crying:
It there any way I can regain those things back please? Any help?

It's a current problem with all Nougat ROMs.
There's a fix somewhere in the dev forums. I'll edit in the link once I find it.

Switch back to stock??? You can also try v4a.
I've created a fix
Not sure what kind of volume problems people are having with Nougat ROMS. I'm on CrDroid and I don't have this volume problem. I do have Dolby Atmos installed if that makes any difference. My problem is when using speaker during phone calls, the other person cannot understand me cause it echos.

Bad headphones sound after update to Nougat

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.

Sound Improvement with Nougat?

When I had an axon 7 before I had issues with crackling/static noises when playing music through the speakers and bluetooth. I'm not sure if it was a hardware or software issue but I got 2 replacement devices and they both had the same issue. In the end I got a refund.
Apart from these sound issues the phone was perfect and I'm thinking about trying it again, since I haven't seen another phone I would buy this year (except xz premium).
I had the axon back when it was on stock marshmallow, so I want to know if anyone has had the same problem or seen an improvement in sound with stock nougat, nougat roms or through using any mods?
viper4arise (numbers, non-aroma) works for me. enable for phone speaker and bluetooth and reduce output gain to -10.5 to see if there's an improvement. I think it requires root and selinux set to permissive for it to work.

broken speaker after kernel 3.4 update

Hi, I tried the kernel 3.4 on my nexus 7, but after I installed it my speaker starts to play audio really bad, now is noisy ,scratchy and pretty low. So I tought was rom/kernel related, and back to 3.0 kernel, but no way to get it working good again. So I changed the speaker with a new one, and the audio isn't anymore scratchy, but is really low when compared to his previous stage, I cannot use in a room with peaple simply talking for example, forcing me to use a bluetooth speaker, or headphone. What happened to my nexus 7? I changed many roms, but doesn't seem to be fixable by sw, what can I do? now I'm on slimkat + parrot mod, which works flawlessy.
thank you
