[Q] Which settings for audio files (and audiophiles)?

Hi all,
I'm coming from a Defy and I've just bought an XZ.
I've noticed that the ringtones/notifications/alarms that I've used on my old Defy sound weak on the XZ.
Can anyone help with the settings for mp3 (or other) audio file types that would be best suited to the XZ's?
Should I be using a specific file type for ringtones and notifications?
Would there be a difference if the bitrate is changed?
I find that the default Xperia tone is enough to suit my needs.
Thanks in advance

everyone will tll you differently, I for one think PureXmod doesnt really help MUCH. I unlock my Bootloader, install doom kernel and download faux sound, set speaker to 8-9 and it is awesome, I compare to my S3 and the sound is more clearer, sometime it clip but rarely, dont over do it and it will works wonder.

[Q] XZ with BT MW1 + powerAmp title problem

Hello xda!
I've had Xperia Z and Bluetooth MW1 a couple of months and it only shows "unknown - unknown" in the handsfree display even if title streaming is enabled in PowerAmp.
When i flashed it to CM10.1 it worked fine. But then I flashed to stock, and "unknown - unknown" appears again.
i decided to try ROMAUR, witch is based on a stock firmware and the same problem still exists.
Title streaming works with the original Walkman app. But even if I inactivate it or force a uninstall, it doesnt allow PowerAmp to stream any titles to Sony Smart Wireless Headset Pro (MW1).
Does anyone have any ideas why?
Best regards Trehjulingsleffe.
Sorry for my bad english -

Yes. I have the same problem.

Applicable for MW1
makes sure you have "smart connect" installed in the first place
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5zb255ZXJpY3Nzb24uZXh0cmFzLmxpdmV3YXJlIl0.
once you pair it then
Did you install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...4uZXh0cmFzLnNtYXJ0d2lyZWxlc3NoZWFkc2V0cHJvIl0.
other way it will not work

Yes. I've installed both apps above. Otherwise it wont work with walkman player either.
My old Xperia Arc can send Spotify and PowerAmp titles to MW1, but not Xperia Z. I guess it has something to do with Walkman. But i don't want to use Walkman when i bought PowerAmp witch is better by far.

Without installing anything it works fine with Walkman, but it doesn't work with PowerAmp. I emailed the development and no sound from them.

1)Well as long as I am aware poweramp does have not build in - avcrp 1.3. So that could be an issue
2)Sony makes a custom sound driver for the MW1. that is way the smart connect is build in.
3) by installing a cynonomod os you installing a standard drivers which have avcrp 1.3 build in standard version (without sony modification )

Hmm, you may be right on all three points. But isn't it possible to flash something in CWM or TWRP to override the Sony crappy thing? I'm not so good at how it works, and even worse to self make a zip file which could fix this problem.

Problem with music volume :S

Hi, some couple of days, i update my razr i to kitkat, rooted with recovery...very fast and smooth, no problem at all...but when i listen music in the app Google Music ( with earphones) its sound pretty LOW...someone know how i can boost the volume music???
i searched a mod of sony walkman of xperia z2 for all android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730431
to increase the sound of music, but i cannot made it work...i have the xperia z2 launcher..
anyone want to try it? or knows a mod/app that it can boost the sound of music???

Same problem here, I have no idea how to fix it...

Yep, unfortunately....
I've reported that before, the KK audio sucks guys
I think might be a kernel issue... BTW there's no "final" version yet.

ups :C., sorry bro...recently i found a mod that boost the volume of music...only u have need to be root
install the apk, grant permission of root, reboot and change the music effects (configuration-sound-music effects) and choose the apk installed
the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

Yeah thanks
But, actually the real trouble for me are the "hissing noises", like i said before.
Some build.prop edits are helping a little, i'll try the ViPER4Android but i'm not sure if he will work.

[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)
