I want to run GE or AOSP...but audio SUCKS!

Hi guys,
Can you help me find a ROM that suits my needs? I am going nuts here. I have flashed that many roms and I am just tired of it. I haven't actually found one that I actually enjoy.
First of all I want a rom that is preferably GE or AOSP with lots of customisation. For example I loved this rom by dirty unicorns found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314807
This ROM is pretty much everything I look for in a ROM...however I am getting really bored with the One at the moment. Especially because I care about audio, and I just feel like no developer has really come in and developed a all you need, kick ass audio mod for the One.
In this rom above audio is absolutely HORRIBLE. At full volume it distorts and through headphones it does not sound as good as with sense. But I don't want to use sense.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Ultimately I'd like to use that ROM with good audio and if possible boost the sound ever louder (that's another thing, these speakers have dedicated amps but no one has figured out how to boost volume levels at hardware level?). Any audio mods/things that I can do to get the sound quality and volume back up to par with sense? This rom doesn't come with beats audio...possible to install it?
Thank you for your help.

Have you tried using viper4androidFX. Its a pretty good audio mod I use on ARHD GE edition. Sadly Zeroinfinity isn't making purexaudio for AOSP and only Sense. Its a godly audio mod, but only Sense is a no go.

Yes I have. The problem is that your GE edition comes with beats audio, so your audio sounds half decent. The dirty unicorns rom I am using doesn't have beats audio, and what seems like all the aosp audio files (which sound horrible).
I don't want to lose this rom, but I don't want to live with this audio either. First world problems hey haha

While running vibermod4android you turn Beats off since you don't want to modify an already modified audio stream. It works perfect on all Roms

I have beats off even though im on GE. Beats switch is just an equalizer preset, nothing else. Technically you could replicate the exact same sound with the equalizer built in to any music app, or viper. Like altimax98 said, it should be turned off anyways because modifying something thats already modified isn't too sensible. Especially if you were to say use another device, and wanted to replicate the exact same audio no both. Copying settings from one to the other would have them sound the same but with beats on, your throwing a modification on to a modification.

Yeah, no I understand that all but I still can't fix my sound on this AOKP rom?
I have installed V4A except I don't think it is doing anything... I downloaded the convolver pack so I can set custom IRS still does nothing. I wonder if I set it up properly?
All I did was install and then that was install busybox, install v4a as user app. then run it and install drivers. it said drivers isntalled but it didnt let me selected cortext a8 or those type of options. weird. Now the app seems like it does nothing for sound.
Any ideas?

Are you using dsp compatible app? (google music player, or my fav Shuffle +)
And fx just asks for power save, high quality or best sound drivers. Doesn't ask for processor specific, that's xhifi only.

I've gone from Sense to GPE and (this may be placibo) but i actually find the straight SQ of the HP really, really good/ better than when i was stock.
I tried the Viper mod when using the SIN rom, didn't like it, tried the others (nooze, etc) and concluded that all of the sound mods are simply DSP's and don't actually make the SQ from the DAC any better. They simply change it. I'm back to the pure sound from GPM without EQ and i think it is magnificent!
My tip would be to do a full clean install of your current GPE rom and disable/uninstall Viper etc and run unfiltered/EQ'd for a few days to get your ears used to the sound (Ears burn in to music as much as equipment) and then judge. Also, using good earphones is probably the best thing one can do to improve SQ. The earphones included with the Phone are suprisingly good imho.
YMMV

For this device, what music corrector ? Acid...

I don't know
Tapnięte z mojego S Advance ☺

I have it like this with Samsung stock earbuds:
First i have PowerAmp (paid) as my music player but the Apollo from CM (free on Playstore) also does the job, i like the Folder browser in Poweramp thats why i use it the most.
Viper4Android is my Equalizer its in my opinion a lot better than most audio packs i have used (acid, xloud, beats, etc)
"Carnage 2.0" profile This is the profile i use, that thread has loads of them but since i use the stock samsung earbuds this is the one i most like, of course i have played with some settings to make the profile more to my personal choice.
In both profiles and the Viper app theres an option called Impulse Response Sample, i think they "emulate" the output of several things like dac's headset and earphones...theres also others that are "improved versions" of i.e. a pair or beats but those are recomended ONLY if you have them...(if im wrong please correct me) you can download my IRS pack from here
I also have the Viper4Windows on my pc and its simply awesome.

And acid what work ?
I know, my english is

I also wanted to use acid on my phone, but didnt work properly. Don't remember wich version it was cause it was some time ago. If any1 knows the the right version of AC!D for our phone that'd be awesome.

[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

Best Audio Mod

Hi guys, i wanna improve music on my Xperia SP (OS: CM12.1 ) Can you recommend any mod for it? For now i use Xperia Music with xperia stufff (clear audio etc.) but i think it can be better, and would be great if will be compatibile with it. I most listen dance music (Club, remixes etc.) If there will help i got headphones SONY MDR-NC31E. I would like reviews people who use X mod. I try Dolby digital plus and it's not for me also, viper4android can be but i think about mix mod with boom sound beats, something like that
If someone serach EQ settings, maybe this one like it:
from left to right: -5, -3, 0, +1, 0
Clear bass +7
VPT Studio
Don't take it max volume

I can recommend xtrememusic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3029951
I flashed xtrememusic4.1, desire and desire-fix. (It also installs dark-material-v4a). I can not get dolby atmos working (if you can let me no how)
My old-time-favorite is megabassbeats4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/mod-megabassbeats-v3-t1945535
Use dspmanager AND V4A (compatible mode).
It still works fine on lollipop (freeze/delete audiofx before). You'll need to flash also the fix from this mod (works on several roms) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61762074.
(And ofcourse: switch nuplayer in developper settings and set selinux to permissive)

Thanks for reply, did You use it with Xperia Music?

quark audio boost

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.
