I finally rooted my K50a40 and the device is running on official MM 6.0 S327_160517_ROW. Ever since the update last year, there has been a problem in the volume on the speakers.
Sound is loud for only about a second and starts to fade and gets almost inaudible even with the volume at max. I can barely hear even with the phone right in my hand. Rarely the volume doesn't fade and it works fine, totally on luck.
Pausing the video or audio and playing again makes the sound loud again for a second but fades again in the same pattern.
I tried everything from disabling the Dolby, using custom equalizers and music players, clearing app data for dolby and media storage, even hard reset. The problem still persists.
I tried MTK Engineering mode for the audio tweaks but that didn't help either.
The sound in headphones works just fine, dolby works too.
I rooted my phone with SuperSU/ TWRP and have installed Xposed libraries in hopes for a solution.
Please help.

Install a different ROM the nougat ROMs are really good i would suggest RR official if you like customizations or lineage from danielhk if you like a good stable ROM with low levels of customization or you could try going on needrom.com and look for a rom there dot os is fine but idk if they are stable
Now here are the steps for the rr and the most roms i mentioned if the steps are not included in the thread read the thread carefully before installing a ROM don't reboot
-Now go to twrp i latest is always best but you could use danielhks twrp it's good too
-Press install search for the rom file it should be a .zip and let it install
-Now flash gapps (Our phone is arm64 and for nougat roms it's 7.1 gapps flash pico)
-And let it install don't reboot
-And now flash MAGISK it's better than supersu then reboot
-Now when you boot you set up the rom flash the venom kernel it's on xda it's the best
-And now if you want to use apps like snapchat you can't unless you flash the magisk module safety net fix it's an old module so search it up on google
-And then you're set up and don't use xposed on ROMs it's not very stable and makes the ROMs lag
And also don't use Oreo roms they are not stable too

I have been using V4A for some time on my Android devices... Now finally when the Z3C could be rooted without loosing the DRM keys I went for it... Everything works just fine after the root, but I am totally unavailable to get V4A to work for some reason. Anyone that have this working with a rooted Z3C and locked boot loader? If you have, how did you manage to do it?

On my Xperia Z it worked just fine with a locked BL, I don't see why it would require an unlocked BL. My BL on the Z3C is unlocked so I can't say anything about that.
What problems are you having?
Sent from my D5803
Thanks for your answer Dsteppa... Well, I have this rooted Z3C and downloaded the latest V4A together with BusyBox. The driver and BusyBox installs just fine and I'm able to change V4A under sound settings... But I can't get the V4A to work. Whatever changes I make to it there's no change in sound. E.g. on my S3 everything was working just fine.

OK... I must be missing some fundamental configuration then... Did you only install BusyBox and then the V4A driver for it to work?

Can you confirm that @ Settings > Sound > Music Effects V4A is default?
And did you enable V4A @ Headset/Phone Speaker/Bluetooth etc..
I have V4A installed, can confirm it works with bubbleUPNP and power amp. When you download the zip and extract it, make sure you install the largest file, then open and install the drivers. Then follow what Dsteppa said... It should work
Cheers ?

Hi and thanks once again for your concern... Yes, I have tried both the V4A FX and XHIFI and enabled them in Sound/M Effects and also enabled V4A for e.g. Headset. I've installed and used V4A on nearly 10 Android devices prior to this one without any issues at all. The strange thing is that I can see that the driver is active but not producing any change in sound... I also tried to reset the phone, also did the root process once more but the same result... Really strange as I see it.

Hmm then the only thing I can think of is you asking in the V4A topic, they should be able to help you there. Because it should work without a problem.
I have the exact same problem, viper4android installed on my D5803, rooted with locked BL, but not working. After spending some time trying to figure it out i found out that it doesn't work with the Walkman app, with google play music it's working fine. Hope that helps. I'm curious if you guys got it working with the walkman app?

Mine worked fine with Walkman, but I prefer PowerAmp (So I use that)
Thank you for your answer, after more digging around i found out that it's working with Walkman app too, but only on the phone speakers, it does not work with the headset. If you go to driver status (on headset) it says processing no, and it does nothing, you can't feel any difference, i have to mention that i use a pair of Sennheiser momentum in ear, and have not tested with anything else. On the phone speakers it says, processing yes, and it's working...
I bought the XPERIA Z3C for its native support of High Resolution Audio (HRA). This is the problem why it's not working for me... I found out that when playing a 24 bit FLAC file the V4A driver just won't process?! It worked fine on my Galaxy S3 (i9300) but not on this. 16 bits FLAC files play just fine, but when I play HRA files the sound processing just wont happen. I don't know if it's related to that it's a separeta DAC (Wolfson 1811) in the S3 and the Z3C uses the Qualcomm 801 with embedded DAC.
I'm having problems too.
Rooted my z3c especially for this and it's not working.
I've installed the drivers and then the app asks me to reboot, after the reboot I've entered the app and again, it asks me to install drivers like I never did.
Any idea on how to fix this?
Put V4A in compability mode and it will work probably

it's because of your busybox, it's either not installed or not properly installed, had the same issue.
Hi can yous confirm if this increases ringtone volume?
It's because of your duel recovery and rooting method, if you install busy box it might most likely erase your recovery on xperia z3. It happened to me actually but Viper android fx will work, if you prefer Viper android fx and no recovery go 4 it and install busy box from Google play you do a backup then reinstall your recovery via computer then restore your data from the backup
If you have duel recovery on xperia z3 or z3c it most likely has a different busy box compatible with that recovery

I tried installing in sultan cm13. Shows "no " in processing . When I listen to video songs the quality is good. Consider a song in which it rains . When headset is connected I hear rain sound in the left speaker & voice output in the right speaker. Overall it creates a good audio experience. Any idea about this ?
I can hear even minute sound . Never experienced such sound quality earlier .
SOLVED
https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.gizdev.com/amp/viper4android-on-android-7-0-arise-sound-systems/
Go to the thread..read the instructions, download the zip file, flash it using recovery ..
Got the viper4arise app with many presets..no "processing no" error this time...works like a charm in liniage 14.1...i guess it is compatible with 6 too..
Enjoy
i almost testing all custom rom oreo.
after i flash a rom, then i flash magisk, reboot. then i install viper4android 2.5.0.5 in magisk manager and reboot it.
when i using google cardboard, toram online, helix jump, i just got a lagging sound after a few seconds (it sounds like you playing ppsspp at speed 80%). can someone tell me how to fix this cuz i hate this sound?
Hi. I've been using this rom for several days and with some apps (for example, instagram) I miss the emojis option on screen. Should I downgrade to 15.1? I don't want to, the rom works fine and the battery lasts a little more. Also, format cache/system/data caused mistakes while installing the rom, but using wipe data/cache/system made it perfectly. And one more thing, I've tried to change the sound of the incoming calls and messages, but Sounds (by Google, I guess) doesn't work properly. Any solution?

Hi,
Now they fixed the fingerprint in the ç27 update. I rooted my x2pro again with Magisk 20.4 So far so good.
Now I really wanted my viper4android Android back, but I get a bootloop when activating the driver.
I tried the aml patch but no luck so far.
Anybody tried this with success?
Luckily it's easy to undo the install in TWRP.
Just run the zip file and it would uninstall v4a.

Wow great.
It works again. I'm what they call a happy camper ?
NB: My setup picture for my Sony WF1000 in ears. I use an old studer.irs for convolver. 2 ms deferential sound. Balance a little to left for compensation and viper clarity natural...
Thanks for helping me out.
Good evening, you can tell me how I update my realme x2pro to c27 and the rooted, I'm on the c11 rooted version and twrp installed, I did not want to update it to Android 10 not to lose the fingerprint, but now that they are fixed the problem on c27 I would like to update it. If there's someone who can help me and give me a link to a tutorial, I haven't found here on xda a tutorial that explains the root and installation of twrp. Thank you

Ah yeah I mean I like to use the movie preset when playing though speakers, so that's great.
Do you guys have any issues with system sounds and ringtone? If I'm not using a convolver it's fine, but with convolver active there are unusual sound glitches and audio pops.

Yep there is always a bit of lag before the driver kick's in when playing media audio. Also when you start playing music. I don't think there's a solution for that.
I think I just got used ?

Ah yes that's the thing, but the problem is when receiving notifications from different apps.
For instance I get a notification from Viber and there's a slight pop, but then I receive a notification from Facebook and first it plays the remaining sound from Viber then from FB and it sounds really messed up.
It's sad if there's no solution, but I guess I'll keep investigating.
Though I don't think there's no solution, since this always worked fine for me, previously on Nexus 6P, LG V30 and HTC 10.
Btw, my suggestion for the SRS_1_1_Normal_stereo.irs convolver.
Edit the EQ to something like -2dB for the bass freq and -4dB for 4KHz, the rest is up to you.
It gives incredible deep bass and better bass response to the speakers.
Edit: the partial solution for the mentioned issue is to enable attach audio effects option in V4A. I'm not sure if it works for every audio player, but it works with Poweramp. What it does is it disables V4A processing for everything but the music player. The drawback to this is when I'm listening to something in Poweramp and want to play something eg. on YouTube, there is no sound at first. It works okay when I stop/close poweramp. For my usage this is kind of fine I guess, so I thought I would share.
hello everyone and thanks for the explanation everything works correctly now
I don't know if it only happens to me or if it is normal, when I close the multitasking v4a application it stops working, I tried turning it into a system application but the same thing happens, can you help me with that question?

Hey, I have used this method previously to install V4A, but I can't get it working anymore. After trying out custom ROMs, I've gone back to clean RUI 1.0 C38, and following the same steps the V4A doesn't work. Has anyone found a reliable way to install V4A?
