Hello,
So based on my request for help in the following thread, I was initially trying to setup ultimate audio experience with ARISE (not only V4A) to run on stock 8.1 (Mar 18 updates). However after numerous tricks and ways to make it work , i reliazed its not possible for now. I also came to know that V4A and Atmos dont live together well and Atmos overrides the sound processing by V4A, which has to be manually reactivated time and again.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-ultimate-audio-battery-guide-t3727124
I reverted to Android 8..0.0 (Oct 17) and then following the guide in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-install-arise-sound-8-0-t3692415
I was able to install V4A , Dolby Surround to work together (Arkamys , A3MD crash repeatedly and ICESound breaks the sound at all from speaker or headsets, didnt find a solution for it so far).
One of reasons for me to try Google Pixel with 8.+.+ was to try the new (supposedly) hi resolution bluetooth codecs namely AptxHD and LDAC (a Sony version of Hi-res audio protocol).
Being an amateur audiophile, I bought Sony Wh1000MX2 which supports both LDAC and AptXHD.
A finding which I made was when I paired the XL with Sony Headphones using LDAC, the audio quality was good, however I wanted to make it better by activating V4A and Dolby Surround audio mods. After fiddiling for a couple of hours, I realize V4A and Dolby does not work or recognized the sound output when the headphones were connected using LDAC. It was seen as the V4A driver status showed "Abnormal" and no "Processing" was done. However with the same setup as soon as I changed my bluetooth audio connection to use AptxHD , the V4A and Dolby started working and sound was equally superb with the added value of tuning it more to my taste using the audio mod.
I am not sure why the audio mods are not bluetooth connection protocol agnostic, or why not working with LDAC.
Shared it for information, maybe the gurus would be able to reproduce the setup and post a working solution.
Thanks.
Hi, same problem here. I have a pair of Sony MDR 1000x Bluetooth cans with ldac support. Flashed my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x to LOS unofficial Oreo to get the ldac codec going (it works indeed), but v4a does not work with this codec. If I choose the SBC codec, it apears to at least realize that it can do something (although changeing effects dosent work). With ldac enabled v4a driver status says abnormal and obviously nothing works. All in all I guess that we cant do anything other than wait, so that some devs will adopt to the new features of Android Oreo.
Hope for the best
PS: sorry for possible spelling mistakes
edit: if someone needs logs, im happy to provide them.

Not the type to necro old threads, but I believe I've found the solution to your problem. I had this problem myself on my V30 and realized what was making Viper effects not processing. LDAC by default starts off with an audio sample quality of 96 kHz and 32 audio bits per sample. If you can change these settings in developer options, lower the sample rate(sample quality) to 44.1 kHz - the rate used for 90% of all music & audio and the bits per sample to 24. Viper audio effects should work now with LDAC. You will have to do this every time you turn on/pair your headphones to your phone.
Ypu can use James DSP for ldac codec with any sample rate and bits per sample. James DSP has a magisk module and can be installed from magisk.

Must jump through a few hoops to turn it on which is idiotic and annoying but Jack Ryan in Dolby Vision and Atmos is very nice.
The way they have set up explains why Netflix shows with the correct EC3_JOC audio are played back as only Dolby Digital Plus,
there is no way to trigger Atmos from the Netflix app. Seems like Amazon is trying to give themselves an anti competitive edge with their proprietary software.
Hi guys, is there any solution or magisk module to activate ldac codec on mia1 using pie? I was able to find only module for activating of aptx, not ldac.
Any advice please?
I'm on Pie custom ROM (HavocOS 2.6) and LDAC works out of the box (I tested Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and the app shows LDAC logo while playing music, probably is the same with stock Pie.
I want to make Dolby Atmos and Dirac Audio to work at the same time. I have already installed these mods in Magisk. To make them work properly I also installed ACDB for Dolby Atmos and Audio Modification Library for Dirac Audio. I have seen that in my device are 2 processes working in the background Dolby Atmos and Dirac Audio, but someone told me that I can t use multiple audio mods at the same time. What do you guys think? It is possible or it s not?

Hi,
I just upgraded to 10.0.1 from Pie (rooted, unlocked and clean flash). But I cannot make the ViPER4Android FX work. I used https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-viper4android-fx-2-6-0-0-t3774651 and installed (enabled legacy mode) but either it sounds poor or it doesn't work for bluetooth devices.
Did any one succeed in having ViPER4Android FX in OOS 10.0.1?
Kindly let me know your thoughts.
Thank you.

Does it work on bluetooth ear buds? Because for me it works partially with wired headset and it won't work for bluetooth buds.
Resolved.
Installed Audio Modification library and toggled Absolute volume and increased volume.
