hello,
i've searched now for a while and could not find a solution for this problem:
on my device (and this was the same with my note2) and on stock kernels i could not get the equalizer function properly.
the stock equalizer does not alter the sound in the right way, in fact it makes it LESS "loud" on the opposite frequencies i want to adjust.
example: if i want to add heights the bass goes down significantly, but no hights are added. same for adding bass: the heigts go down, but the bass level did not increase. if i turn the EQ off, the sound get much louder then, although i adjusted the typically "U" formed curve!
as far as my search showed this is a problem for other people as well, here in the note3 forum there are almost no postings regarding this.
is your EQ working as expected?
what apps do you use? stock music player or something different? i use google play music, but its the same for other apps as well.
even tried to remove all other music apps (as suggested in some postings) due to possible conflicts, but this wont help! i also installed a different equalizer app (and removed the stock one, after only disabling it) from the market, same results.
on my note2 i had the same issue, the only thing which helped was to flash a custom kernel. with this i was able to use equalizers the way they were meant!
does someone has some experience here?

thx for the answer,
i used poweramp for years, and it did me an excellent job! but for convenience i switched to google play some time ago, and since then i have this equalizer problem with samsung stock kernels! if i remember right this is since the introduction of 4.0 or 4.1!
because of my migration to google play i would need a solution how to get the equalizer right, and i'm curious if other people have the same problem! and: if someone managed to get it work!

Now I know this is many years old, but I see from your sig you have an S8+ now. Do you still have this issue with the stock EQ? I'm getting exactly the same behaviour with the S8+ and the S9+, turning any slider up just seems to cut the entire volume down, it's so annoying!
For those that are rooted, are you using something other than Dolby Atmos for your EQ? The more I use Dolby Atmos, the more I dislike it. It sounds good, but I have issues with it:
1) It seems to enable and disable at random
2) It'll switch profiles between songs - If I like my custom profile better, it will switch back to music on the next song. Not all the time, but most of the time
3) I'll have a preset *almost* the way I want it, but when I go back to adjust just one slider, like 20 seconds later, the EQ completely re-adjusts and I have to basically start over
4) (probably the biggest reason) It isn't comparable with my favorite music player, n7. Dolby crashes and cannot be started again, even if you uninstall n7. Only fix is a factory reset.
I seen the thread about v4a, but it makes Dolby Atmos crash. If I were to freeze Dolby, or uninstall it using Tibu, or ROM Toolbox, can I install v4a or a different sound mod and have it work?
I see no point in installing a sound mod when we have a Hi-Fi chip + Dolby Atmos

Hello
I tried to use poweramp, but this isn´t dolby Atmos enabled, but, I ´m using Jetaudio plus... and this works PERFECT, remember that this sound app was designed for use in high -end mp3 players ( like cowon), and i can say with full confidence that works great with dolby atmos, boosting very well the music in the speakersphone, in the bluetooth car stereo and headphones ( wired and wireless)... this app bringing bass optimization ( in the original speakersphone the bass is very poor), let me know your experience, i´ll try to help

My understanding is that the HIFI chip doesn't work with apps that don't support it. Is that wrong? I never notice it and Atmos doing much for Google Play Music

Yep, I used Poweramp for while like this.....But, as bad as my reasoning sounds, I don't like the UI of Poweramp any more - Very Gingerbread-ish. It was fine for the last 3+ years, but I guess I'm just tired of it. I'm, anxiously, awaiting the new release of Poweramp (I'm a beta user) that has the redesigned interface.
In the meantime, I've found a few other players that work well that "look prettier".
- Shuttle+ has been my #1 "backup" player for the past 4 or 5 years. It's simple, but has most of the features I need
- RocketPlayer - I found on Amazons app store for $3.99 (vs Google Play for $6.99) and I really like it too!
But, the reason I started this thread is because I dislike Dolby Atmos. It constantly resets, turns off, changes profiles and was incompatible with my favorite player (n7 Player) - Actually, it's more like n7 is incompatible with Dolby Atmos and disables it system wide when installed. Prior to B27, it crashed Dolby Atmos and the only way to get it back was a factory reset.
So, in order to avoid Dolby Atmos and use players I liked and still have system wide audio enhancements, I was looking for a good system-wide sound mod. I know Viper4Android is the #1 go to for that, but I had a few issues with it not turning on and having to re-start my phone. But, in all honesty, I flashed a mod package that had V4A included, not as a stand-alone. So I may try it by itself, without the rest of the mod?

I'm on One Plus 3T Oreo 8.0 rooted, years using V4A and n7 player. Dolby Atmos alone seems to me a better solution. V4A is absolute freedom (a mess) and didn't find a player better than n7. Are you on Oreo version? You already have all we are looking for!

Well, I actually no longer have the A7.....The Samsung S8 lured me away with the big "edge-to-edge" screen. But honestly, I wish I still had the A7 sometimes.
But, the S8 is achieving the main results I was looking for...... I was flashing different ROMs on the A7, almost daily, sometimes 2-4 times daily - Plus all the different mods out there for rooted phones. I was literally addicted and would do this for 4-5 hours nightly. I had to step away from it all and get a phone that was not easily rooted...... My choice was an iPhone or a Samsung. Since I HATE iPhones, I went with the lesser of the 2 evils.
Ok, off my soap-box.... I do miss the amazing sound of the A7!
I find Dolby Atmos unreliable too, but really only use it when playing a video. For music I just use Jet Audio HD plus. Sounds great. Actually un-modded mine and my Son's Huawei Mate 7 and installed Jet instead of having a permissive system and Viper.
This is probably the best phone I've had in regards to being on a stock ROM. I would look at root and debloat if no updates were coming though. Easy to un-root it once de-bloated.

You can have enforcing + viper if you use the magisk module though
That's good to know!
I haven't used Magisk yet but for my phone, even if I mod it, it needs to be un-rooted again for root checking apps. Kind of limits mods. I assume Magisk is like Xposed, needing root? I know nothing about it yet.

No, Magisk doesn't need root, it provides root for a ROM. It's an alternative to SuperSU.
Magisk has the ability to hide root from some apps if needed. Items like banking apps and whatnot may still work and SafetyNet passes in most cases.
From what I've read. Never needed to do any of that myself.

Lol... The whole point about Magisk is being able to modify the system without triggering safetynet. Basically you don't have to unroot or anything, it's like you have your phone stock but you can have a bunch of modifications installed...
It was an alternative to SuperSU. But right now I can say with all certainty that SuperSU is an alternative to Magisk. It makes very little sense to use SuperSU especially since those Chinese guys bought it and made a mess with v2.80

Hello, I've got a new Moto G4 for christmas and I'm really enjoying it, except for one thing => the equalizer :/
- (Android 6.0.1 - all available updates done - no Root) -
So here's what I already did :
Disable from "app" in settings the default "Audio Effects" then installing a new one => the new EQ says that I already have one EQ installed and don't work
If I do the same as before then restart, the new EQ work... but only for Spotify :/
reinstalling the new EQ without restarting don't do anything
[edit] The stock EQ don't work at all
I don't get why it won't work :s I really hope you can help me <3
Thanks for your time, *cough* sorry for the grammar if I made any errors *cough* and merry christmas =3
Hello, but what is the equalizer app name? the stock equalizer works?
Happy new year
Hi :3
I tried these two equalizers (the first ones when you look for "equalizer" on googe play)
Equalizer + Player Volume Boost
Equalizer
And right, I forgot to talk about this x) ... the stock equalizer don't work at all :c
(sorry, i'm new on the xda forums and I can't post links yet ^^' )

The stock works fine for me, by the way, i have tried the second, and works well, even appears the message of "disable audio effects", but works very well, i have disabled the audio effects, rebooted my phone, "enable auto preset detection" is turned off, tried with poweramp and google play music, whit headphones. But you don't notice any improve?
I just tried with Poweramp and your equalizer, while disabling the default one : the EQ spectrometer (or what it is called ) move, it detect the sound but when i choose a profile or anything, nothing change, the audio stay the same.
Maybe I should already think about doing a hard reset ? ^^'

But poweramp recognize the new eq app? no the stock, and have you tried with headphones? Because with the speaker there is not much difference between one and another profile, this is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Sorry, where do I see if poweramp recognize it ? :s
[edit] Btw, the Poweramp EQ works within the app ^^ and yes I use headphones.
[edit2] And the Moto G4 bass are nice *w*
I'm bumping this thread (yes, it's not allowed but, but... :c ), it's been one month and I didn't solve this problem :/
There's nothing new btw.
Thank you again, whoever can help me, have a nice day/evening :3
I looked at a G6 on display and I love it. Only thing that troubles me is I can't find the global equalizer and sound settings like the Galaxy S7 has. Is there not a eq that works for everything? That's one thing i hated about my iphone when I had it was listening to pandora or spotify with no eq. flat and boring. I know there's 3rd party Eq's but they're not reliable. For example i put one on my Nexus 7 and now it doesn't work. It shows it's on but it does nothing. the sound sucks. When I had One M7 I had the same problem. the 3rd party EQ apps would only work half the time.
So does the G6 have a global EQ?
wait for root > install viper 4 android > profit

Does that require rooting my phone? I don't know how to root the phone and on Verizon the bootloaders are always locked last I heard. I'm not comfortable with rooting plus when Verizon does tech support they connect to the phone remotely and check the settings and I'm afraid they would see the root and void my warranty.
No root, just install musicfx.apk and the EQ settings will show in Google music settings.

I was confused because it says: "In order to install it as a system app, you'll need a root-capable file manager, like ES File Explorer, which is what I use."
It needs root coz you need to install it as a system file. No root yet achieved for g6.

Enough to me by now... Hope we'd be able to be root on the H870DS soon....
Hello again...
Just my two cents...
The musicfx.apk on the link before doesn't work well. You cannot make a custom equalization. But if you use the musicfx.apk from the OP5 thread It will work pretty well...
Here is the link:

Anyway, I've ported to Equalizer FX, because it has a better performance for me... You can check it if you want...

Hello. Someone else on this forum made a similar post but the thread quickly turned into a heated debate about the sound quality of the phone itself, so I have no choice but to make a new thread.
I use headphones all the time, so I would like to be able to use the Hi-Fi DAC on Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha. In MIUI, I was able to enable it using the built in setting, however there is no such option in Paranoid Android. An XDA user named androidexpert35 posted a Magisk Module, and later an app, to enable the HiFi DAC, but I'm not sure if it's legit. He's a little shady, because XDA blocked his account, accusing him if being a pirate.
I've looked all over the Internet, but I wasn't able to find anything useful. Is there any way I'm able to use the HiFi DAC on Paranoid Android, or on any other custom ROM for that matter?
FYI: Please don't reply saying "It doesn't matter" or "the sound quality is not that different." That's exactly what people did on the previous thread, and the discussion went waaaaay off topic.

I guess I could use that instead, but it's a lot more complicated than just using what's already there. Wouldn't you want to just use a DAC that was certified for Hi-Res Audio?
There's a Dirac enhancer port made by UltraM8. Check that out. It's the same hifi enhancer used in Miui.

What's Dirac? Do I have to download an app before I can install the addon? Also, should I install the "Hardware Hexagon" addon? The link to Hardware Hexagon seems to be broken.
Maybe UAPP will work? It is supposed that it installs DAC driver but I am not shure if it'll detect an internal one.
Seems that Dirac is a software enhancement. Hardware add-on is not available to download so I guess it's not possible to enable internal DAC without it.
Yeah, I just reverted back to stock. Thank you for all your support!

Internal dac is independent of dirac & stuff.
For enabling in custom roms you'd need to check if drivers are present under the respective directories under roo (mostly should be) & then modify system.prop file to enable it.
Extended UI hay the same menu/options, same HIFI toggle, just not entirely sure that it was working
