HTC AUDIO COMPILATION THREAD
I just got an HTC 10 recently and got pulled into the audio mod scene, and the spent over 12 hours trawling through every forum post under the face of the earth to find some way to get my imperceptibly better audio fix working.
This thread is an attempt to help with that by including working files and configurations for the HTC 10, and nothing else.
THIS IS A WORK IN PROCESS AND I DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEES ABOUT THE MODS OR SOFTWARE LINKED FROM HERE

REMEMBER TO RENAME/REMOVE /system/etc/HTC_audio_effects.conf AND ENABLE SELINUX PERMISSIVE MODE
TBC
PLEASE SUGGEST CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Quick post and reservation for future.
Working config for me with each step included (relevant or not, just in case)
Dirty flashed rom to remove traces of v4a (Using Venom)
Installed busybox and xposed
Flashed Metaspook's V4A-MK latest and kernel (Elite)
Booted and gave V4A-MK superuser permissions
Installed driver through V4A-MK
Immediately (soft) rebooted
TO MAKE IRS FILES WORK YOU MUST GO TO SETTINGS>APPS>V4A-MK AND GIVE IT STORAGE PERMISSIONS
V4A was working for me after this, but I do not take responsibility if it does not work for you.
I recommend Dolby atmos 6.6 also made by @ahrion.
I believe the link is in the Original HTC10 audio thread as well.
Also ViperAudio. 4.8 and ViperAtmos. 4.8 by guitarededhero, and others that contributed and tested to make those go to mods for me.
Viper's I mentioned can be found on xda, software development forum. Feel free to link below.

Literally just solved this problem myself, you just need to give V4A-MK storage permissions in Settings>Apps>V4A-MK and the IRS files will show up fine. Adding to OP.
Thanks man haven't messed with V4A on the newer phones till now

V4A-MK Mod-works great but use correct version #
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Okay, all of this is so complex I dont even know what to say
Would be great to have the best sound available. Is there maybe a custom ROM for HTC 10 with integrated Viper4Android sound mod ?
I know to unlock bootloader, root, flash rom etc.

just try flashing the metaspook V4A-MK zip
Anyone here uses external USB DAC with their V4A?
I haven't tried a USB dad but I want to. On that note the hdmi output works perfectly. All our TV's have built in days and also sounbars and recievers. Why there is no stand alone dads that I can find with hdmi input I am really not sure. Dies hdmi have better audio than USB I do not know either but sounds damn fine to me. If you just want to had a separate headphone dac/amp then I think any with an xmos processor will work. Also the soundblaster E5 sounds pretty good and should connect.

were you getting force closes, freezes etc? i think it is either due to busybox or init.d support, the v4amk thread has links to flashable zips for both and after flashing them both it stopped those problems, not sure exactly what it was though.

Yeah it would freeze. I also might have had a bad from at the time. Its been a feature packed week.
Got BusyBox installed from Google play now.
Crucial step for sure.
Cheers
V4A works great when using Play Music, but I'm having trouble getting it to run on any other music app, even youtube and my web browser. I even have it set on FX Compatible Mode.

Im going to try to flash this. Im on the latest Leedroid ROM. is the zip all i need to flash as on his thread it says to flash a Kernel.init zip aswell. Also if something goes wrong do i just dirty flash ROM to get rid of it?
Edit: so i just tryed to install the mk mod zip and it worked fine but after installing the drivers and rebooting the app just freezes and so does phone. I tryed witht he init.d zip aswell and still the same. How do i get this working? Im on leedroid R155 which has the updated busybox.
Edit 2: set selinux to permissive and all works now.
why no AcoustiX on the list?

Same problem here.
This mod activate earpiece speaker for dual speaker sound. I tested on Lineage os 14.1 with mi5 prime edition and no problem.
Please backup first mixer_path_tasha in /system/etc, I am not responsible for any malfunctions that may occur.
Flash twrp version or unzip and copy attached file mixer_path_tasha to /system/etc , and change permissions to rw-r-r (or 644).
Reboot, enjoy and press thanks button please
V1
-Dual speaker mod while playing media.
V2
-Dual speaker mod with all sounds(system,ringtone,notification...) now !
-Sound instantly decrease fixed.
V3
-Always enabled main speaker and earpiece speaker.
-If you want to enable stereo mod set this command with terminal emulator : "echo 0x8093 > /sys/kernel/debug/tfa9890-34/regs/04-I2SREG"
-Stereo mod will be disabled when you reboot, you can use tasker app. to apply stereo mod on boot.
New mode to increase speaker
-Add line to build prop : "persist.speaker.prot.enable=true", this line increase system sounds.
Great work! One question, this is stereo (like in headphones) or the audio on both speaker is the same?
thanks @ojosehenrick did you mean is this stereo or mono ?

Thanks, that's what mi5 was missing! I tested with a video on YouTube (stereo test) and when the sound focus is on the left side both speakers work and when it's right side only the speaker (next to usb-c) works. Can you tell me which lines I have to edit to disable the bass speaker (next to usb) when the focus is on the left side? (Just for testing purposes)
Just tried on mi5 1.8ghz eddition Miui 7.3.2 global rom. This mod dint enable earpiece speaker but no bootloop..

Thanks iam also using today. But this mod got bug here. Sometime sound become silent even playing media. And earpiece speaker doesnot work.
Exactly what i was looking for, thank you! ??
this mod is only for headphones right?
the mod wont work on RR 5.8.2 :< and it makes headphones volume go low... Please fix it... And love your work btw :3
Only phone calls and some video games play audio threw the front speaker, but absolutely no music player will play threw the speakers, headphones only. This only started after I rooted and installed magisk plus several sound mods (viper, dual speaker, audio mod library, Dolby)
I have removed all mods but still no luck, but I was hoping maybe if someone had a stock copy of the audio_effects.config file I could maybe try replacing the one I've currently got (definitely not stock, I believe it's the viper one, or one made by the audio mod library module)
Any other helpful info or suggestions would be great. Thanks

I believe it is the dual sound mod causing this. I have seen this issue a few times on the s8 forums. If you need the audio_effects.config let me know and I'll post it.
Maybe a clean flash of the ROM again but without installing the dual sound mod.

Could you upload the stock sound files that I might need.? And possibly the location I need to put them? (Or is it just system/vendor/etc?)
If it doesnt work I'm Gonna try out the renovate ice... Surely a clean flash of that would do this trick, I can't imagine any reason why it wouldnt...

Place both files in /system/vendor/etc
If not yeah try renovate. I'm running renovate 5.1 and works flawless. Just one zip to flash and done.
Didn't try this with renovate Ice 5.0 but with 4.0 when I installed Viper4Arise (I belive that's the name) I got no sounds from my speakers. Tried it a few times all the same result.
Just want to know the steps to take so I can get better sound on my phone, or if Viper4android works?
Thanks.

To quote my response, hope this helps:
Ok here's what I did:
- make sure any previous version of Viper is removed (I had an issue where I'd installed a version over another and it messed my sound up in that even on the lowest volume step it was playing full volume!). I used one of the viper with the aroma and chose uninstall. Then I used Titanium Backup to search for viper and removed another that way.
- flash this version:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634776829
- if you don't have the Viper app appear then flash an apk of one. I used the pure black from from here (open up the zip and I used the 2.5.0.5 version):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OgctcRCMJvdUpSTnZYazhpM2s/view
I'm not sure if I'm just being picky, but I swear that this sound doesn't sound as good as previous setups. Though this is the first version that just works - as previously I needed to use compatibility mode for Spotify and to avoid issues, such as when I would play via Spotify, then load Poweramp whilst playing, it would silence Spotify resulting in me needing to kill both apps in order to resume audio.
Good luck!

Im having this issue as well. Had viper4android on my s7 edge and it was much louder with alot more bass. Very disappointing. Cant figure out why its not as loud as the s7 edge. Any tips on how to boost volume. I'm connecting to Bluetooth in my car on a s8 plus.
Hey everyone! I am new here and not really experienced, that's why i really need your help with the following:
I've rooted my device with TWRP & Magisk (by following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbFDv8Ii7PM)
Everything went smooth without any problems.
After that I tried to install Viper4android and that's where the trouble starts.
(I followed this guide to install Viper4android: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-install-viper-android-galaxy-s8-s8-t3596933)
Now I do have it installed but any media sounds do not work at all on any app with or without headphones.
Rebooting or factory resetting does nothing.
My guess that it's something with audio_effects.conf or soundAlive_51 but can't know for sure.
Please help a desperate soul out :fingers-crossed:
Edit1: Interesting... media sounds works if i listen to music via chrome for example, also it seems that it works with games and audio files that are locally on the device, so basically sound doesnt work with youtube and spotify (the ones that actually matter) help?
...
what a nice helpful people here... smh
I'm having the same issue I think. Tried to flash viper, but it didn't work, so I re-enabled soundalive. It has been working fine for several weeks, but suddenly media sounds have stopped. I still get text message alerts etc, but no sound using youtube, or VLC media player playing local files. If you find a solution, please post it.
