Im just curious if something is wrong or if thats normal.
When music is playing on phone viper driver status processing:Yes

My mistake, i had my google home streaming spotify off my phone but via wifi? (found speaker on same wifi)
I connected via Bluetooth and it works perfectly.
Thank you

Was looking for dolby since own this phone, thx a lot mate

So I have this all installed and it appears to be working, I can open both up. My only question now is how do I use these? Sorry I'm fairly new to this and have never used viper or Dolby. I see in viper I'm supposed to add profiles, where do I find those and how do I know that Viper and Dolby are actually being used when I'm playing audio through my speakers or headphones?

Profiles you get from the web. I recommend downloading arise profiles and using one of there's. I use audiophile x.
To chexk if working. Play music, then open viper click menu/3 lines on top left click on driver status, should say processing. Means it's working.
While music playing open Dolby and the graph should be moving to the music.
If both of these are doing that then it's working.

Thank you for the response, I'm assuming audiophile x is project x correct? And so I just flash the zip for that through TWRP?

Extract the profile from the zip. Then place that in the profile folder which should be under VIPER4android in your root browser. Then open the V4A app, open the menu and select apply effect profile. You should then see, and apply your profile :good:

My dolby app keep stopping when i try to open it. Hmmm
Any idea what might gone wrong ? My Viper is installed and working fine...

I would confirm driver installed on viper re-flash Dolby and see.

Anyone try the Ainur Sauron mod.
I am running it with Viper and Dolby. They are hardware modifications with no apps. It does contain set prop addons, which I am trying one at a time.
Warning: Do not flash Ainur first on a clean flash. Flash Viper and Dolby first. If you're already setup it should flash and boot fine.

While we are all waiting patiently for @guitardedhero to make some magic with pixel 2's, I have been able to get V4A and DD-Atoms working. Also using Arise profiles to improve sounds.
Pixel 2 XL tested and working
Steps:
Have Magisk 14.6 installed (if you dont know about this STOP HERE and RESEARCH, google is your friend!)
Have Ahrion Materialized V4Android Magisk module installed 2.5.0.5
Reboot confirm all is working!!!!
Download on pc Dolby-Oreo.zip, for whatever reason if Downloaded on phone error 2 when trying to flash
Flash in Doly-Orep.zip in TWRP = profit.
*only issue is "Surround Virtualizer" is greyed out. Otherwise working till @guitardedhero makes a full working ARISE~

Viper4Android, has anyone managed to get it working?

Yep, mine is running in normal. I do have SELinuxModeChanger set to permissive. Did you try that? Did you disable musicFX? Besides that I did exactly what was listed in the nexus 5x set-up.

well, I don't know why but it seems to work now... without locating the musicFX disable option... followed the direction like on the link for the nexus 5 but also installed selinuxmodechanger and set to permissive. that seemed to work.

I am using systemless root and the selinuxmodechanger app does not work with this root method, so I used the permissive zip from flar2. I disabled musicfx and it still wont work in normal mode

changing musicfx back and forth didn't change the sound. but I know that the sound changed following the instructions and adding permissive option on selinux so maybe removing the file from the directory affected this?
I also followed the steps from the 5x forum and I am unable to get the driver to stick. I am rooted the non systemless way.
I had to use rootbrowser to delete the audio_effects.conf permanently. Once I did that, it worked

Does viper4android give us system wide audio control? Such as allowing us to change the gain on the top/bottom speakers?
Edit: Dw I found out it does. Just need to root and get it now then.
I'm having constant problems keeping this working. I did everything told in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63486621&postcount=7 yet every other day I get the issue of going into Google Music, playing music, and when I try to go to settings to get to Viper EQ, the music stops and Viper tells me all of a sudden that the driver isn't installed again (when it definitely was and was working fine).
Also, lately when I go into the SELinuxModeChanger app, it shows Enforcing is chosen, even right after I change it to Permissive. It keeps changing back on its own, even after root permissions are granted.
This wasn't happening until recently.
Running Elemental X's kernel if that matters.
Any ideas?
So I couldn’t wait any more so this weekend I rooted and got my Viper ON. Viper is one of the main reasons that I root. This is what I did:
1) I get TWRP and rooted by doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
2) Now that I’m rooted, I get busy box working
3) I didn’t need to change my SEL Mode by doing this.
4) I Boot into TWRP and I flashed the attach zip. “ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip”
5) Disable MusicFX and then I went into system/vendor/etc and killed “audio_effects.conf”
6) Open Viper and install best Driver
7) I had to re-flash the zip 2-3 times without wiping before I got it working.
Now my 6P is on MDB08M, Crypted, enforcing mode with TWRP and rooted with Viper.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research of this topic on your own before you take a look at it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you, all, at the same time.
Ok, I have seen the problem, when you first download TWRP in Download Mode, you have to make it reboot to your device's lockscreen.
After you have done that download SuperSU from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
Go back to Recovery Mode and flash this file from the desired location you have put the .zip in.
Then reboot the whole system. (TWRP cannot process a lot of flashes of files at once! It crashes the system!)
Download ViPER4Android from here: ViPERAudio 5.5 Sony Beats Edition.zip
Then go to Recovery Mode again then flash this file.
After the reboot, open up the app and the app will say Drivers need to be installed. Install it and give the app root access. Then, you have to reboot it after it says Drivers Installed. Reboot.
REBOOT!
After that, go to the app and press the three dot menu on the right top corner and press compatibility mode and then press Compatible not Normal.
Then try playing a song and activate the app for SoundFX. If it does not work, then reply back and I will help you.
If it doesn't work and you want to fix it yourself, find a Permissive Kernel for the device and install it. ViPER4Android works on Enforcing and Permissive but it works on Permissive better.
Peace Out. Hope I helped.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 SM-T280 I have no idea when it comes to all this booting rebooting stuff but I like this kind of stuff and would want to learn more. Now my tablet is FRP locked. A google account bypass is what is wrong with the tablet can someone please tell me how to fix this I really want to know. Thank you in advance.
Btw, you dont suck. You said you did In the title, but you dont.

How to install Viper4android ?

I found the speakerphone is very weak so I wanted to increase volume of it. I searched and found Viper4android could do it. I tried Viper4android apk but its driver never installs. Then I tried the Magisk module but it does not work either. Does anyone know how to get Viper4android installed?

Which Viper did you guys choose? There are 3 available. I had the Viper app but the driver was installed but not working even after multiple reboots. Any advice appreciated. I chose the Viper for Magisk 14+
Need my Viper! Also,I imagine USB/Dock should help the headset output, not headset, correct?
Update- removed the Magisk 14+ version and installed the 2.3.4. 2.5 failed as well. 2.4.3 says that it's working but I hear absolutely nothing when adjusting settings. If one of ya'll could tell me precisely what you did to get this upand running I would be most grateful.

Viperfx isn't working properly.

I have Viper4Android installed in the phone, and it works sometimes, but for reasons I don't know, the app sometimes just don't work at all, or turns off, and it's really hard to turn it on back again.
Anyone knows how to make it so it never turns off? The app itself doesn't have too many options regarding of when it turns on...

Question Dolby Atmos on Phone(1)

Does anyone got a chance to install dolby atmos (rooted) on your nothing? I am afraid to brick my phone again
1/ Install Magisk Bootloop Protector
This module can prevent a bootloop/can't boot system if a unstable/conflict/incompatible module.
2/ Reboot
3/ Install AudioWizard-DTSXUltra-AsusZen6-MagiskModule v5.5-Stable
On my Mi 11 it's the only working Audio Module working perfectly and exactly same feeling quality than Dolby Atmos.
I will test as soon i will receive my Nothing 1 in a few days

Working perfectly for me. Dolby Atmos module or DTSX module.
And DSP working, not placebo, you can easily hear the difference, especially on the Dolby Atmos module.
