How to fix the low audio in earphones
I'm sure most people here have noticed that the audio in the earphones is very low and doesn't deliver very good sound, but I have found a easy fix for this which takes like 5 minutes to apply.
Requirements:
Viper4Android FX
Root

1. The first thing you need to do is to install the Viper4Android FX app and then start it. It will ask you to install sound drivers, when it does do that select the option "Hiqh Quality", it's the optimal option in terms of battery life and sound quality. After the drivers have been installed, reboot your phone to make sure they have been loaded successfully.
2. Now open the Viper4Android app again and select "Headset" at the top, then check the box for enable under Master Power. After you have done that, check the enable box for Playback Gain Control, and in "Select effect strength" chose Extreme.
Enjoy! The sound should be alot higher now and the bass should also have been improved by this quick fix.
Thanks a lot for this awesome mod mate !!
Btw, isnt this app similar to dsp manager ? Can you please clear that up for me ?

I'm quite sure of that this app is based on DSP Manager sources, but this app is much better in terms of loudness and such so don't waste your time on DSP manager.
Has anyone tried the inbuilt Audio Enhancement option... All yu have to do is
Long press the home screen to get the usual Widget/Apps/Wallpaper/Theme options...
Select 'Apps'...
And then 'Shortcuts'...
You should see a long list for apps. Select 'Setting Shortcut'
And finally you should see a list. Select 'Audio Profile'. Select that option.
This should create a shortcut on your home screen... Now click on the new icon on your home screen...
You should see options like to create new audio profiles and at the bottom, an option for sound enhancement for earphones...
Let me know if this works for you...

Mate, the audio enhancement option can be easily accessed via the walkman itself.
No need to go through such a big hassle just to get to the option
My friend they are not the same...
The sound enhancement that I am talking about is only for earphones... That means for listening music or while on calls...
The option you are talking about is meant only for Walkman app or music apps like Google music... This option is for both earphone and the phone's speaker...

Hi all,
as you know - phq has poor headphones audio output.
Sound is like flat
I have tested many headphones and now i have ibeats.
I tried to install beats apk from market - phone wont boot...then install beats zip in twrp - phone
wont boot...then install older version - phone boot, but audio quality still
Can you please help me with this?
Yes. Download PimpMyRom and install Beats Audio via flashing the zip from recovery. After that, a free market download Beats Audio Installer. Run that as well. Now after all that go into settings/sound/music effects and select Beats option. In your app drawer u will find the Awesome Beats Audio app to customize the sound. Prepare to be blown away!

Did u do a dalvik/cache wipe before install? This happened to me as well, and I did a system restore from a previous Nandroid *system ONLY! Not data/boot etc.* and poof the driver was installed. Including a screenshot for proof positive.
Let me know if u have any other problems!

I have for compare sound old ipod touch1and audio on it is better......tooooo much better. Maybe phq has really wrong audio
...can you tell me what is for you the best audio setting on beat apk???
Suggestion
I use AC!D SoundMOD, and it really seems to help. Though it does have quite a footprint in my phone, and requires some tweaking to get the best result.

That's strange. I use Poweramp player, and with the built--in eq and preamp Beats Audio turns it into probably the best sound emitting device I have ever used, and I have been a club DJ for 8 years and a musician for 30 years. Take a look at my screenshot to see how I have mine set up...did u also install the driver from Beats Audio Installer * root from the market?

These equalizer settings sound great man, I use n7 player my music sounds great. The only issue I run into is when I use GPS or get a text while listening to music on n7, the audio from the GPS and notification is so low I can't hear it. I'm not certain if this is due to equalizer setting, beats audio, or n7 player.

Not sure...within watever player's settings you choose to use there should be mods for that particular issue.

Will this allow 24 bit audio playback? Isn't that something that needs to be worked out in the kernel if not already

24bit playback is still not supported by Android Core. May be someday Google will build that...
This app is a DSP (Digital Signals Processor) which alters Sound characteristics on-the-fly to make it more Crip, Clear, Punchy and Surround... like Dolby/SRS and maybe BBE/VIVA (comparision is not required but its kind-of similar )
This app will not alter the Encoding properties of an Audio flie (256 bit, 16 bit, 48000 khz)
I hope you got the answer.
You can add 4.2.1 to the compatibility list.

Is the app effecting PowerAmp player or EQ? The reason I ask is because I've already EQ my poweramp to the best music listening to my taste.

You can defenitly use PowerAmp build in EQ (I am also a Great Fan of PowerAmp).
Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO will affect the Sound Output (Headphone/Speaker/Bluetooth) system wide. But condition is that other EQ (Standalone/App In-Build) should be disabled or turned off to make this Sound App work otherwise you will have distortion and duplicate processing and resulting in loss of sound clarity and fidelity.
In PowerAmp untick 'DIrect Volume Control'. I bet you will defenitly see the difference and start using Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO
No need to worry about EQ or DSP and this is the one solution for Ultimate Sound Enhancment.
Confirmed works wonder's on 4.2.1 i had beats installed and this blows it out the water.Much appreciate
Tested it with poweramp and i don't really like it. I still love the poweramp EQ.
Two thumbs up!!
I gotta tell ya, this is the best audio engine I've tested on the nexus 7!! Thank-you much!
will have 2 try this out
why don't you put this thread to app section? it's more suitable than here. by the way this app is very good.:good:
I can't notice any difference on my Galaxy note 10.1 with it's stock video player. Any ideas why?

System wide sound. Should be working.
Please disable or remove any other EQ/DSP you might have and then try.
Check if you need to change "Settings > Sound > Music Effects > Choose Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO Series”
Found to be working and compatible with following players:
PowerAmp (100% working)
jetAudio (100% working)
BBE SonicMax Pro (100% working)
Neutron Player 32bit/64bit Generic/NEON (100% working)
NRG Player (100% working)
PlayerPro (100% working)
Stock Player (100% working)
@BSDgeek_Jake : there's a small typo in the app (what I keep noticing). The main screen where u have the 3 monitors for config the second should be "Built-in" not Build-in. Sorry if this is rude.
So I use my phone in my car for Pandora and Google music. It sounds good stock but I was looking for any additional mods to play with it. Not sure if the audio mods out there affect Bluetooth or not. Any suggestions?

FX version 2.2.0.5 / XHiFi version 2.0.0.8
Install them both just like normals apps
They will ask you to install drivers
for FX click CortexA15/Neon
XHiFi Cortex/Neon
and Reboot
Once you are done with a reboot, go to system > sound > music effects > V4A FX > Profit.
Both of them can run together simultaneously.
For Convolvers,
Studer
StuderA80RCHalfInch
JoeMeek SC2
DBX 160SL
Technics Preamp
TubeAmplifier & Technics Preamp
TubeAmplifier
are the best.
You can figure out the best settings as you go, but here are my options
XFX
Master Power O
Playback Gain Control X
Firequalizer X
Convolver O

Thanks a lot! Got it running. But are you sure it works with Google Music and Pandora? I'm playing music in my car and switching between a lot of settings in the FX app and nothing is changing. Not sure if I'm missing something or what.

It wasn't working with Pandora for me as well, but one day after cache/dalvik or might have been dirty flash since it removes files.
Play around with it for a bit.
It should work with every audio output.
okay good deal. Just curious, why do you have master power off? Doesn't that need to be on for it work?

Yes you have to turn on master power or nothing will work. If you are in compatible mode with both apps you want to select another option in your sound settings, I use the standard FX. Also don't be concerned it the driver status screen shows the app isn't working, it's a problem with the status screen. You should be able to hear a major difference by switching the master power off and then back on. You will hear a difference when you switch the other settings but some will be fairly subtle.
Yeah I got it working, but I only hear a difference with my bluetooth headphones. A big difference actually. In my car, I'm not getting the differences. I'm thinking because my Pioneer head unit. It has its built in own EQ curve settings that I can change but I don't think I can turn it off. Not sure if that's whats causing the issue or not. But I did notice it does make it a little too "bassy". I'm sure that can be adjusted though. I just wish I could get it to work in my car because that's where I really want it.

If you are still having trouble with Pandora, here's the solution
using root explorer or similar app, edit build.prop > lpa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false > reboot.
I just downloaded PowerAmp (love it so far) and am also continuing to use Viper4Android. Is there anything I should know about -- things to avoid, tips, etc.? For instance, is it OK to use both equalizers at the same time?
Why would you want to use both the equalizers at the same time?? The sound will surely be not up to the mark! Use the V4A FIREequalizer!
If you are having problems with PowerAmp, you first need to do this: Go to PowerAmp Settings - Audio - Advanced Tweaks. Now disable Direct Volume Control and enable Music FX!
If you have any more concerns about V4A, you need to read the official thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

When you install V4A direct volume control is now 'non supported' by default (at least on the latest slimkat).
Enabling musicfx did nothing for me (I left it on anyway).
V4A did not work in compatibility mode for me, I had to run it in 'normal' mode, and turn the poweramp EQ off, so far everything is working good. I can't really tell a difference when I switch preset settings on the equalizer though..so that might not actually be working for me
I was having problems as well, Poweramp didn't want to cooperate with V4A. What I noticed is that Poweramp was still using Android's default equalizer so what I've done is I disabled MusicFX app and reboot the phone. Poweramp started using V4A thanks to that
I can sum it up in an acronym.....P.I.T.A.

I don't think devs will just mod the Walkman app, AND, you can save up to 2 presets on the Walkman equalizer.
We have Viper4Android, it's sound output is way better than the stock Walkman, plus, you can save your presets.
