Serious Simple Audio Improvement (?)

Ok I'm an audiophile musician, as many of you I think
and, though stock audio just works I'm trying to look at audio mods here
I looked in many threads and I can see that ARISE is very well known, supported and loved, but looks like is very customizeable and confusing....
dolby atmos in apps section doesn't work well, it lowers volume and...well, I can't feel any improvement
viper4android should be nice, but I never tried it
now...what are you using? things that work nice and stable, with quality enhancements....don't need thousands of profiles or eq since I'm a big fan of flat sound (the way is meant to be listened)
Thank you for your attention, once we'll have some satisfactory answer I'll make a poll and a general AIO audiophile thread with all working options as referral.
EDIT: ARISE audio system simple guide​
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709
go to this thread, don't be scared, just search for lastest deuteronomy zip and flash it
you will find a nice app called viper4arise that will let you manage settings separately for every audio output with simple and nice UI
you can also import presets and plugins, but it's secondary.

Im going to tune in on this. Would like to install ARISE on my nexus (comes with Viper4Android) but there are so many versions to choose from, it gets a bit confusing.
Any tips on which ARISE works for our phone on 7.1.1 ?

ARISE is the right answer. It's customizable for true audiophiles but simply flashing it seriously improves audio quality without you having to tweak anything. Seriously. I know there are several zips for ARISE. Just make sure you get the most current stable release (Deuteronomy� 2.3.3) and I usually go for the smallest zip file because I don't need all of the extra stuff like Dolby Atmos and whatnot. It comes with a modified version of the Viper4Android app that allows you to tweak settings to your liking. The app, by default, is setup for novices or people that don't need to get too specific with any settings so you can boost bass, enable clarity options, spectrum extension, etc. by toggling the switch next to it. Simple as that.

so. you suggest to flash deuteronomy (lastest) and...just that? what about plugins, the prop editor that comes with hell of documentation...profiles and stuff...none of that?
if you're sure it works, is stable enough, simple and it has graphic (not text editing or changing files on system) settings through an app....I'm going to test it right now....

There's a zip with v4a profiles, Copy it to v4a directory in sdcard and choose Audiophile 10.0

I never did any of that. I just flashed, booted up, went into the ARISE V4A app and toggled the options I wanted. There was an immediate difference in audio quality. You can toggle the options while playing music and hear the difference.
EDIT: Oh. Make sure to disable MusicFX or whatever that nonsense is. Settings > Apps > Show system apps > MusicFX and disable.

ok! so this is a solution. I'm going to try it right now....
for anyone else who pass here, if there is any other thing you are using please reply here! we want options!
EDIT: Ok guys I tried ARISE and it works damn well, I can manage audio settings without profiles since I know how to tune that, but main mportant thing is that it works.
Now, regarding higher bitrate? or anything else?

Really depends on what you're playing the music on. I usually enabled Spectrum Extension (0.4 strength) as a lot of my music is 320kbps MP3 and Bass Boost (default settings) for Bluetooth and Headset (3.5mm jack) while enabling "Speaker Optimization" for the speaker. I mainly use the bluetooth audio in my car and while my car stereo isn't that great but I did throw some Kickers in the front doors. Spectrum Extension is awesome, but make sure to disable it if you're listening to any FLAC files.

I really only listen to music through headphones/AUX in the car so I edited some of those to the audiophiles info in the post. I turned on the spectrum extension and will see how I like it since it's all streamed from spotify (no flac).

Why do you disable MusicFX?
And it's necessary on stock too?

Because it interferes with ARISE / V4A. If you're completely stock with no audio mods there's no point to disabling it.

Viper4A Oneplus5 question

Hi,
I installed Viper4A from magisk modules. But I don't feel any difference / enhancement after I do this.
When I open the Viper4A app, it says status is enabled and processing Yes. I use poweramp music player.
Thank you.

Force stop app, try clearing data and cache

Thanks, will check. But generally what sort of difference we will see with and without using Viper?

go to setting > FX compatible mode > compatible.
also, under convolver , choose a good one. im using ''sony ericsson ((Z-Edition)) 3. Mega Bass.irs

You have to configure effects in viper. E.g. for more base set dynamic system to 30%, enable it and enable master switch.

Yes, you have to configure the effects in Viper, but also make sure that PowerAmp takes advantage of Viper.

Wow, what a mod. Now I know how to configure settings in viper4a and boy... IT ROCKS...

Yep. I unchecked DVC and MusicFX from audio in Poweramp settings and next it caught hold of VIPER4A.

As you just learned all music app effects need to be disabled for V4A to work. You'll likely need to search the V4A thread to identify which settings need to be changed for other audio/video apps you use (e.g. MX Player, Spotify, Youtube ... etc) then change those settings accordingly.
I've also found that after a reboot V4A doesn't always engage right away but will if you toggle the "Master Power" toggle in the V4A app.

Solution To music lag when screen is off.

Yesterday I flashed helix engine beta version and after that whenever my screen is off and the viper4ndroid is working with my music player my sound lags . Whenever I turn off viper4android for Android it again comes to the original state without any lag. I removed viper module and please suggest some way to flash arise sound because I just love it.

My suggestion is to not flash any sound mod. They do more harm than good.

You should whitelist viper4android from being suspended(or wait until it is) while screen off and test. Then you should be able to run it even when screen off. Please look on how to in the helix thread and ask there

Have you disabled audio routing via USB? It's in developer options.
If it's active then disable then re-enable

Not sure pal, haven't used it before.
Have you turned off optimise for that app in app settings in Android?
Settings / apps / android auto / battery / don't optimise

Must be an incompatibility with auto mate. Did this work previously? I'd test an older version of WhatsApp or auto, might do the job

Looking for any app that increase volume on rooted Head Unit

Hello!
I have a rooted TS10 head unit and need to increase volume of TLINK (CarPlay) apk, because its sounds too low. Tried to install MAGISK to get any modules but when the apk patch the boot.img i get black screen so that options its not available.
So im asking if anyone knows if there is any standalone apk for rooted devices that do that job.
Thank you.

It support individual custom app volume? If not, that app is not I’m looking for.
I’m looking for an app like AudioHQ Magisk module that you don’t have a Global volume and you can customize for each app.
