Hi,
I've downloaded some official Dolby Atmos trailers from the Dolby site. I used quality headphones to listen to it on my P20, with Dolby Atmos turned on. It didn't sound surroundy at all. How do you get Dolby Atmos content to actually play like it should? Or is that impossible on a phone and is that Dolby Atmos label on a phone more of a "there's been some tweaking with the sound but it's definitely not real Dolby Atmos"?
Thanks!
Did you you use dolby atmos headphones??

No just normal ones, I thought that all the computing was done on the phone and you didn't need special headphones?
S10? This is P20 forum.

Try changing from smart to movie in the Dolby settings.

Tried that didn't change a thing, except that the sound sounded a teensy bit different. Have you tried Dolby Atmos? Do you get actual surround sound?

I used this YouTube video to test
toggle on and off Atmos and I get proper surround. I use the stock headphones. The sound isn't great in my opinion.
Cheers
Edit: this is one of my favs
See that's impossible because Youtube only carries 2 channels. Dolby Atmos needs extra files for it to know what to do with the sound, that's impossible on Youtube. You need Dolby Atmos encoded files, like the trailers on the Dolby site. I don't hear a difference at all.

You are totally right about the YouTube and getting the actual video download from Dolby I found the audio was definitely better with Dolby enabled. However I agree with you that it isn't all that much better than an good eq setting could do.
Thanks for this I want to find out more. Please let me know if you find any info on this!

Yo. I'm not gonna beat around the bush. Here's a sound mod I created when I was bored. It's based off a project I stopped long ago. Just give it a hear. Thanks.
Features:
DTS
Note 7 SoundAlive libraries
Google Pixel XL effects
HTC 10 effects
Huawei dynamic bass boost
Experimental Jack Professional Audio drivers
*Does not conflict with SoundAlive.*
Thanks to my friends @ ARISE
Anyways I wasted enough time, here's the download.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8tihnca1gi3pkw5/Test10.zip?dl=0
I may or may not even ever update this. Enjoy.
It can be controlled with an app? I mean.. is there something to adjust options?

Nope. Just flash. To confirm installation check /system/ or look into build.prop. Anyways, it's last day of school tomorrow, so goodnight.
@JarellLama and if i only want the note 7 soundalive libraries?
Sorry but the sound is terrible compared to what you can configure with viper/dolby audio and some other audio drivers... this would be a lot better if there was a way to tweak it somehow, sorry didn't mean to disrespect

I made this so it could work directly with Samsung's SoundAlive. With Dolby or V4A SoundAlive gets overwritten.
BTW feel free to flash V4A or/and Dolby over. I recommend the LeEco LeMax 2 Atmos from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342

If you are looking for just Note 7 SoundAlive, I recommend you get a whole Note 7 port with the framework for Note 7's SoundAlive so you can use the latest SoundAlive app. I recommend Noble Rom.

Hi All,
Did anyone use USB type C headphone with the 5T? I have just bought a pair of xiaomi ANC headphones and is really disappointed with the sound quality.
Are there any ways to improve the sound quality you might be aware of?
Thanks!

I use Spotify all the time also but to experience to true potential of your headphones, you must try Poweramp once ( you might get hooked as well) just for the sake of its unmatched Eq presets.
As for the arise, you can look up for the guides to install Viper4Android on XDA ( will take a simple search). You'll be needing root access (Magisk has some v4a modules as well) though.
Caution: stepping into the world of v4a is big step. No coming back from there.?

Just wondering what Poweramp and Arise does to improve the SQ of the above mentioned IEM. I own a Xiaomi Pro HD and found the bass and vocals to be lacking compared to Apple Earpods.

If you can experiment enough with Poweramp's (alpha build) Eq presets ( I prefer "speaker ( loud) with bass and treble variable according to the song I'm listening to), you can pretty much get satisfied with any earphones above $10 price tag. The cheapest iem I can find in my drawer from a whole bunch of earbuds is the KZ-ate which can easily outperform this Overpriced AKG earbuds.
Coming to the V4A, it takes some time to get it working on your smartphone if you're dealing with it for the first time but if you can get it running, you can expect a SQ bump of at least 5x of Poweramp's eq.
Judging by the quality of one of my own xiaomi's basic earbuds, I hope the pro HD ones won't be really bad.
Is it safe to assume USB C headphones will work on the OP5T regardless of OS/ROM? I don't want to purchase a pair only to find out they won't work with OmniROM.

Truer words have never been spoken. Once I experienced the awesomeness that is V4A I'll never again purchase a phone that cannot be rooted. I only wish I would have found out about it sooner:laugh:
If you are running magisk it takes no time at all to get it processing for YouTube, Pandora, etc., just install the module and reboot. If you are use Poweramp be sure to go-to settings>audio>advanced tweaks and uncheck direct volume control to get viper processing.
Hello! There's a way to install v4a on emui 9? I have root with magisk.
I am concerned myself, please help us, anyone

Mate 10 ALP-L29 on EMUI 9's audio (from headphone jack) is one of the cleanest sounding outputs I've heard using my triple driver hybrid IEMs.
Sad that NO ONE is talking about it!

Absolutely right. I've used this device for a Year now and I really don't see a reason for some audio enhancement software, since the sound is just great anyhow I play it. I've listened my favorite tracks thru wired and bluetooth headsets, streamed over wifi and bluetooth dongles, and couldn't find anything less satisfying than my other phones. I have been using V4A and Dolby Atmos earlier on my Note, but I must say I really don't miss it at all.
Not trying to criticize, just posting my opinion.

Agree on audio through wired headphones!
However, in the car, i need a little bit of control with EQ and Soundstage / Reverb, and V4A provides those options. ATM, I'm using RE Equalizer and if only it's stable (enable / disable the switch to make it work), I don't feel the need for V4A
My. 6p was much louder with viper than mate 10 pro on aux. Can't agree it could be louder and more bass sound.

Well no you're right about that, but Dolby Atmos should give you virtual surround sound. Or not?

Again, doesn't give me virtual surround sound. I've tried with and without headphones on my Galaxy S10, and Dolby Amtos was definitely turned on.

How can you get that from Youtube anyway? Youtube is stereo isn't it?
I think that the Atmos software in the phone emulates it.
I tried the trailers and the difference between Atmos on and off is quite big. There are multiple options of Dolby atmos settings, I have it on Movies. Have you tried this as well?

Dolby is an inferior music encoding algorithm.
Ok for movies and games, most times.
I use Poweramp and wav/HDCD files.
Poweramp has one of the best or best graphic equalizer for Android.
When listening to music Dolby is always kept disabled... feel the wuv.
On a high end system I use it only for Dolby encoded movies.

Yeah, i thought it will be better because of Harman Kardon. I was using Iphone 12 before this device and must say that Iphone is on another level in terms of sound.
