[Q] Sound Quality tweaks, Can we do on our DAC? - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, i have 2 question that I have search for ages since my first Android phone. I upgraded from my old phone (mi300) to the S advance. I am experienced in Android developing and modding. So of course my phone is already rooted and loaded wih CoCore E 5.0 stable. My question is :
Do we have an opimized DAC module for the S advance? CoCore E 5.0 module is great but are there any alternative?
Can we alter the internal module setting to reduce the dithering effect when playing music? If so what is the best settings in terms of DigitalGain and AnalogGain which does not reduce overall quality and won't damage the speakers?
Note that my phone configuration is :
Rooted LQ4 firmware
DSP Manager module loaded
PlayerPro with DSP plugin installed
Android Sound FX manager change to DSP Manager as default (not using samsung's default sound FX manager

Bump, anyone?

Functional DSP Manager for Galaxy Tab request...

As with many other users, my Tab suffers from very low volume & mediocre audio from its internal speaker specially when watching certain movies. Ive been looking for an app to control audio volume and EQ that works on the Galaxy and found an app called DSP Manager (current version 2.2).
It features a beautiful interface that is great on the Tab's 7" screen, installs without a problem but doesnt seem to have any effect when applying EQs or settings... the sound is always the same.
I was wondering if I could request to make this app fully functional on the Tab

Would be great that supercurio owns a Tab and develop the sound part as in the galaxy S.

(HELP) DSP Manager 6 Band EQ

Hello guys, I need a little bit of your help, I had my Ace with the CM7 which obviously had the DSP Manager and this version has 6 band EQ and the bass booster its a lot of much better but I'm having troubles with the ROM and I want go back to my Stock ROM but the available versions of DSP Manager to install in other ROM's out of CM7 has only 5 or 4 band EQ and doesn´t produce to much quality on the sound so... Some one knows how can I get the 6 band EQ version or how can I made an install version of my current DSP Manager that I have on the phone?
I'm pretty sure that you're able to install the DSP manager on stock? I havent used stock since the 2nd day I get my phone so i'm not 100% sure.
An alternative way is use Player Pro's DSP manager(with player pro), if ure gonna use it to listen to music that is.

[Q] Best Sound mods on stock rom?

Hello ! As you all know Sound quality has been terrible on our Z1 since Lollipop came out and Sony has done nothing to fix it so now i have gotten enough and i wanna do something about it myself. I have been reading lots about sound mods and have been comparing them with others but i cant seem to find good one to fit my purposes so i decided to ask here. Im not looking for stereo mod or anything speaker related or like that, i just wanna get the true power what it is capable to produce to my headset like on KK and to be able to adjust the equalization and bass etc like we used to before Walkm... i mean Music app sound enchantments stopped working.. i have XPhonePlus Module from XPosed to enable old audio modes but its currently broken or something since doesnt work...
So basicly im looking for audio mod that:
- Brings back the volume that we had in KK. (In LP its much lower volume.)
- Makes equalization working again. (After LP, had never worked, not in Music beta or the not beta one)
- Makes surround work again (--||--)
- As good bass without losing quality as possible
- Being able to keep the sound enchantments in other apps too not just music app
- Works on stock rom
- As stable as possible, im not really good updater.
- Needs to be able to change settings on the fly. (on LP sometimes equalizer settings take effect on reboot)
I know all my requirements arent necessary possible but just something that way !
I have Bluetooth headset and wired one and i use both so it needs to work on both. i listen mostly electronic so extra bass related mod is never a minus. Im not looking to change music app since i like it so that is not an option.
Im taking suggestions and im gonna pick the best one based on popularity and comments so please share your favourite mod here an i will check it out !
Also im a noobie so i might need instructions i have root ofc and nuts recovery and xposed. im on .270 5.0.2 LP
@migidid
I'm gonna try to answer :3
1. Edit your mixer_paths.xml, need root, there is also many guide in XDA
2. Equalizer works correctly, I don't know why you have such problem xD
3. Surround works too, but only when using headset/headphone.
4. This need headset/headphone with nice sound range too, you can +bass from stock Equalizer, I'm used Poweramp and Poweramp equalizer + Sony equalizer
5. Sony Sound Effect have a global effect for your speaker and also from another sound media too, but I don't know about surround effects (didn't try this so much) xD
EDIT: It's works on Poweramp, just tested it :3
EDIT2: It's not working on Poweramp, it's "blank" sound, sorry xD
EDIT3: Got a fix, must disable Direct Volume Control and enable MusicFX and you will get Surround Sound effect xD
6. I'm on Sony stock L ROM build .270, rooted
7. Nothing bads, if you know what are you doing xD
8. Sony Equalizer no need reboot to take effect, it's immediate :3
I don't like use Viper or another Sound Mod like that, it's useless (for me), since Sony already have in build Sound Effect. I'm only used nice headphone (not high res), modified mixer_paths.xml and Poweramp. :3

Audio mods for Moto X

Hi all!
Are you satisfied with the sound quality on your Moto X? Especially when listening music with headsets.
Do you use any sound mods?
Want to share my thoughts about sound quality. On 5.1 sound is better then on 4.4.4. In both used PowerAmp.
Actually I don't like the quality of the sound on 4.4.4. Can you recommend any sound mod working on our loved Moto X?

You've some issues with your moto x or dunno....
The sound quality is terrible on LP due to the bugged sound module used, use external sound monitor and you'll find it for yourself.
On 4.4.4 In using the Walkman port with their own sound announcements and I find it to be the greatest out there ( to me that is )
I can't live without Viper4Android on any phone I have, because I like to customize all the settings depending on what headphones I am using. And it makes the music sound beautifully well...

I'd tried V4A and can't install the sound driver or whatever they call it. It's just won't work for me...
Ok, I gave a try to V4A again and it works for me! Just set it to compatible mode.

Mine works fine on normal mode on LP.
Use SELinuxModeChanger and change from Enforcing to Permissive.
I understand that this soundmod do not work unless SELinux is in Permissive mode. Let me know if you need this apk.

I love my moto for listening to music. I use V4A too and can't imagine a live without it. The Moto X can play very loud too. I use headphones with 120 Ohm and don't need any external amping at all.

No, it didn't work for me even with changing Selinux mode to Permissive. No sound.

Did you installed BusyBox ?
I guess V4A also requires busybox.
This is what i did:-
1) Installed busybox from playstore.
2) Changed the SeLinux Mode form Enforcing to permissive.
3) Flashed V4A zip.
worked like charm.
I am on Ressurection Remix ROM but i guess this should work for Stock ROM too.
ok, guys.
I reflashed the 4.4.4 and tried Walkman port from there [PORT][4.1+][Update 2015/04/09] SONY WALKMAN™ | The Best Clear Audio Experience. I could say that version 3.1 worked for me. Version 3.5 fc's on start.
I didn't try to use V4A, so I can,t prove it works or not.
P.S. Make sure to have root and busybox installed. I didn't set Selinux mode to permissive, it works anyway

This is the one Walkman port I use, it's not new but it works rather well, also you can update the walkman app itself if you wish. There is a initd script that you flash too for better output, which really changes only few things, that might not even be felt by a human, but either way, flash that too imo.

quark audio boost

flash-able zip to increases volume from 84% to 90% for quarks that are running cm13 based roms. it's based on cm13 mixer_paths.xml

cm14.1 appears to be set at 90 initially, so its not needed.
most developers including cyanogenmod are using 90 as default setting now, but be aware that some developers change other parts of these files as they see fit for other purposes. In other words, you probably don't need to use these files anymore if you are running any custom rom.
I use Resurrection Remix 6.x -- based on CM13 -- and yes RR 6.X ROM from @bhb27 already has some audio boost (from 84 to 90). However, I also have this below installed. It also gives richer sound and has speaker enhancement. See screenshots below.

It incorporates Viper and some other stuff. It installs a couple of apps (Dolby Atmos and Viper) and automatically uninstalls RR's Audio FX (since it's redundant or a conflict).
For the Viper "phone speaker" section I have "Speark Optimization" and "xTra Loud" on -- but only on "Slight" for "Select Effect Strength" in the xTra Loud section. It gets really loud, even with that "slight" -- so for some media I have to turn the volume down.
In the Dolby Atmos app, I have Voice on "Rich" profile and turned on "Dialogue Enhancer" -- but have not adjusted anything in the EQ. I can tell a BIG difference when I turn off the Dolby app and turn it back on while playing a song -- so I know it's working!
If you decide to try it, ignore the confusing "add ons" or "profiles". There's somewhat cryptic instructions on how to install them, but I'm NOT using them. I'm keeping it simple.
I only downloaded the main app, rebooted into TWRP recovery, flashed it, wiped caches, and rebooted.
First time you run Viper, it asks to install the driver. Say YES, and wait a couple of minutes. It is doing stuff in the background, be patient. It will then ask you to re-boot to activate Viper. I then turned on the options in the screenshots above in Viper and Dolby Atmos.

If you are running stock or even stock-based ROM (like CF) make sure you do a TWRP backup first! Well, do that anyway. That's why you have TWRP in the first place!

Android xt1254 volume boost is it really possible?
A lot of audio file on just an old guy with an old Android it doesn't hear very well.
I have tried no less than six different apps increase the volume on my telephone it does absolutely nothing nor do the EQ functions work.
Is it apps that are full of Bologna or is it that my phone is not technical enough to accept these applications.
I even contacted Motorola to Good Into The Hidden Factory controls which some article said could be done by changing the numbers but I've been told it's not possible on this telephone.
Any suggestions of someway to boosters volume would be greatly appreciated.
