Audio Equalizers are not working - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Always had a great music combo (quality wise) with Black Player EX (and it' s magnificent equalizer) and my Haylou GT1 ear buds in my Redmi Note 5!! Previously I used Air Dots...
Now, with Mi9T Pro, I can't get decent sound and music out of the phones!!!
The Equalizer of the player, changing the presets, doesn't do anything!
I tried Mi Music app, and it's equalizer and, all the same, nothing changed!!!
Tried 3rd party equalizers for android and nothing seems to change that flat and mediocre sound...
Really sad, this great phone and I can' t have the same audio quality I had with my Redmi Note 5
What can be done?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip. The player is really good looking but equalizer doesn't do anything either...

It works here... But I had to desactivate Viper to make it working... Perhaps you have something activited...
Edit: and now it works even if Viper is activited... I had the same problem when I tried the phone the first time and audio Beats was the only player with a good sound... Then I rooted the phone and installed Viper.

In blackplayer navigate to sound effects (next tab to equalizer) and enable amplifier. Let it be 0mDB. Blackplayer equalizer will work then.

[Q] Built-in equalizer not working for speakers?

So the built in EQ seems to work lovely when I plug in my headphones on anything like Pandora, YouTube and even notification noises on my phone. However, if I just use the phone speaker the equalizer has no effect at all. Not a single change in sound from Extreme Bass to Vocalizer setting when watching YouTube and Pandora. Does anyone know why it only works via headphones and not over the phone speaker?
Seems to work just fine for me. Having owned an HTC One before this, the external speaker quality is a definite step back. That said, I can notice a difference when I change the equalizer settings, albeit the fact that the audio pauses between settings (when playing on YouTube) makes it harder to tell.

weird
Can you test it on Pandora too? I really can't tell a difference only when headphones are plugged in
I think I can, however like YouTube it is a very subtle difference between even what should be opposite ends of eq. (Extreme bass brilliant treble)
Edit: I noticed the largest difference when using Play Music.

I think Pandora is the only thing that doesn't let the equalizer affect for some reason. It's just weird on headphones it works amazing

Can someone comment on the music player audio quality and how it compares to viperaudio mod? If it is subpar, what music player are you using? I'm on verizon so viperaudio is not an option until/if we get root. Thanks in advance.

My experience so far has been good. Through the 3.5mm headphone jack it plays really well through my car stereo, nice dynamic sound with pretty low distortion. More base heavy than I would go for but definitely well rounded. The phone speaker itself I find a little distorted due to the big base but it depends on your style of music and volume levels. The volume goes quite high also.
I'm comparing this to my last phone which was the nexus 5, personally I felt the nexus 5 volume was too low and lacked any base and made it sound tinny because of it. Even with viper audio I was never satisfied with it. The Moto x on the other hand got a few smiles from me with how it handled some of my favorite tracks on my commute.
The last phone I can remember really enjoying my music on was the galaxy s1 international version with voodoo music mod. That was quite a while though and honestly can't remember it enough to compare. Still, maybe that gives you some indication to what I would be looking for audio wise
Im using Apollo for my music player and the sound is great. If u have upgraded to 5.0 theres a built in EQ under settings/sound where u can modify how it sounds thru headphones and front speakers.
That's also in 4.4

Poweramp problem

I will try and keep this short. Basically, I was originally using Doubletwist and had some problems with it so I switched to Poweramp and had messed a little with the bass control and what not, I went back to Doubletwist and uninstalled Poweramp and I noticed when I was playing music that the bass is really low, so I installed Poweramp again and the bass was back when I played a song on both apps. Uninstalled Poweramp again and same thing on Doubletwist. So it's like Poweramp is still controlling the bass even when it is deleted, wiped everything off the phone relating to Poweramp and still the same problem. Idk if this is the right place to ask for this kind of help. Sorry for it being so long.

PowerAMP has the best bass management Try the setup from the screenshot attached below. If you want too much bass with a boost of sound then use Jetaudio Plus with AM3D (setup in the screenshot) and Bongivoi DPS and select Beats Pro as headphone there
Download Viper4Android and use that to utilize more bass.

Best equalizer hands down, in my opinion. A Nexus 6 V4A thread exists, http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137

But one will have to have a decent headphone to manage the bass Otherwise the bass actually kills the lows

I had forgot to mention I use my phone in my car though blutooth primarily, I have subs so its not a problem.
Viper works for Bluetooth as well... Bluetooth devices aren't known for their audio quality though.

Jetaudio Plus with those plug-ins can help you to find your lost bass

Poweramp on Snapdragon Note 8

Of all the music players out there, I prefer Poweramp. I have the latest 704 alpha version. However, the volume is very low (DVC disabled) as compared to other music players (USB Android Audio, MX Player etc.). Anybody know why? With DVC enabled the volume is even lower.
Check replay gain and adjust to +7db

Thanks. It does not cause more distortion?
You're obviously not using Viper. Mine is too loud.....And thats with the bundled AKG's. Poweramp 704( Choose 24bit/192 in settings) and Viper4android. No eq or dsp in poweramp selected/activated.

does viper improve anything for Bluetooth earbuds? have you tested? just curious
Yes, it does. Viper has individual settings and profiles for speaker, headeset and bluetooth. And yes, i've tried them all and the difference is night and day over out of the box.
Now come up with a solution that does NOT require root. I lose too much by rooting.

Have you verified that the volume control is maxed out on the Note 8? With my Note 8 and Poweramp, the phone has a tendency to "forget" the bluetooth volume setting and drop back down to a much lower output. I'll raise the volume back up to max (the car headunit handles volume control duties) and then it works again - until the next time that the glitch occurs. I haven't tested this without bluetooth - so not sure whether this would occur via the headphone jack.
Poweramp's feature to auto-resume playback upon bluetooth reconnect also doesn't work most of the time (works maybe 5% of the time). I'm a new Poweramp user - so don't know whether this is specific to the Note 8.

These issues are ones ive seen since the beginning of poweramp. I've been using Samsung Music since i got my S8 and now my Note8 .

Then I guess I'll have to give Samsung Music a try. Seems odd that it wasn't installed out-of-the-box on the Note 8. But if it works...

Something else has to be wrong. Check in settings> sound quality and effects and set everything to default except UHQ upscaler. If you're not rooted/ using viper, than DVC should make it sound better and louder. I use a flat eq from my headunit with crossovers at-6db/80hz and dynamic bass on high +eq with DVC in poweramp with high res audio, sox resampler, shibata dither gives great results. Also use aux or usb over Bluetooth for car audio. My headunit volume is max and poweramp/phone is maybe 60% and can't turn it any higher than that without damaging something.

Weak Audio using Headphones

Hello guys,
I'm facing a problem that the audio is so weak or low using the headphones, I tried many headphones but nothing also I tried to fix the equalizer but nothing...
I don't know what to do with this problem however i tried these headphones with other mobile (iPhone 5s) the sound was really really cool.
Anyone is facing this problem?
Thanks in advance
No. Sometimes the sound gets made a lot quieter and you look at the screen and it's not saying anything, so you increase the volume and only then do you get a message about volume damaging your hearing you have to ok before actually increasing the sound.

I already did that and the sound level is full but still low in the headphones
There is effects settings for headphones turn it off and the sound will be good, but via inbuild speaker it will be weak then.

For me it changed the sound when i switched to normal or power saving mode the sound thru headphones changed to good quality.

I do still I didn't notice, the I feel like the voice is kinda low when I use Spotify, but it works perfect with Poweramp, though I use FLAC
Can anybody tell me why sound level and quality is so low? Can't listen to my favourite music because it sounds like crap. I'm using BT headphones.

Have you used decent headphones? I know people often use Bluetooth headphones but they are terrible (the protocol lossily encodes audio so even if you started with FLAC that's not what you'd end up with in your ears)? I listen exclusively to FLAC via both decent Sennheiser headphones and cheap Philips earbuds and they both sound great to me (via Rocket Player). So you have a problem but I don't think it's your choice of phone.

Ofc it is SBC but there is no problem with Redmi note 4. I checked it with iPhone 6 and still no problem. Then I tried old p9 lite and... same problem. So huawei/honor is still have problem with Bluetooth. (I remember old p8 lite and problems with WiFi speed while using bt speaker)
