So it appears that Viper4Android isn't playing nice with Franco's kernel...at least for me and, by observation, at least a few others.
I love V4A and can't stand the vanilla audio without it...but I love the battery life Franco gives me. Dilemma...
Does anyone out there use another free audio tweaker that plays nice with Franco's kernel?
Just use linaro version of the kernel in the other development forum and u won't have an issue as it has faux sound

I have audio issues with Linaro too.
I don't understand, I am using V4A with Franco.kernel r46 and having no issues so far. earlier today I had some audio clipping/studdering, but the problem went away. what is exactly your problem?

Every now and then, I'll hear a hiccup (sounds like a digital fart, if that makes sense). Quite annoying.
What setup are you using with V4A? What audio quality?

I'm not sure how hard this is but I've noticed that the speaker volume isn't very loud. If anybody knows how to get a volume hack or needs some help, I'd be willing to offer my time. Thanks in advance for your response.

Same here. I would be very happy if some kernel will resolve this problem. Otherwise, phone is super. Just speaker when talking ... and maybe not so good buttons. :good:

Definetly a NO to this on.
Using a active speaker at work which resets its volume to a base volume everytime you enable it.
The speaker is on par with a Galaxy Note 1 which I have just retired.
I´d even say its louder....but possibly that is because of faux kernel....try this...
You can install this kernel...

Then install FauxSound from the PlayStore, you can up the speaker gain a decent amount. It's nothing drastic, but I've got it loud enough for me now.

+1. Came here to say this. FauxSound works excellent. If you don't want to / can't afford to pay for the app, trickster mod works fine.
But if you can, support your local dev!

So you're saying using the stable faux kernel and the latest version of Fauxsound, sound modifications are working for you on the nexus 5?

yes
edit: can't speak for stable kernel, but their is nothing in the changelog for the beta about fauxsound, so I can only assume the stable includes it.

Fauxsound needs an update. Faux123 should have it out shortly. It works fine except for the fact that settings are reverted to stock upon reboot. Little annoying but faux is great at keeping his kernels and a ops up to date and fully functional.

it works fine. I can adjust it up and down with music playing and hear the adjustments. I don't care about next sticking between reboots, as I don't reboot multiple times a day

I'm looking at buying a nexus 5,what is the sound quality like through some decent quality headphones?
thanks
sent from my AOSP 4.3 Xperia S via Tapatalk
The sound quality is very good, but the headphone amplifier is pretty weak. It can barely drive my Koss PortaPros, which are pretty efficient. I also have to turn the volume up much louder in my car, compared to my Galaxy Nexus or iPod.
Speaker is poor

This is the exact truth. Why the headphone amp is so weak in 2013 is a question I'd like answered since I usually get rid of a phone with weak output. Fortunately I still have my iPhone

he's a short sample I made with the Nexus 5, boosted +5 with faux kernel and comparing to the Nexus 7 2013. Sure it's always a bit hard to compare the sound over a video but still, maybe it help you

I tried this mod on my Nexus 5 and it works AMAZING to boost the headphone volume. It is finally usable!
[MOD] Headphone and Speaker Volume Boost for the Nexus 5
I only did the mod for headphones as the mod that also boosted the speaker seemed to degrade the quality a bit, and I thought it sounded good enough as it was.

you have to flash a custom kernel that supports the boost which you can than adjust with apps like trickster mod.
2 kernel are capable so far, faux and elementalx. I would recommend elementalx because it has some extra options like sweep2wake and doubletap2wake and color calibration

Viper4Android. Hands down the best there is. I've tried just about every sound mod out there in XDA and Play Store.

All beats mods implement "beats" which is marketing hype and not much else of substance other than some eq changes so why you'd want a beats mod is beyond me.
There are about 5 threads about this in various forums, use the search function. Beats is just an equalizer same with their headphones, it is nothing special, rootsu got the post before I did =D

It can. There is an extra loudness option for the speaker. For headphones and bluetooth you can play around with adjusting the gain and master limiter.
I've been playing with viper for a little bit. It's definitely more comprehensive than the stock equalizer, and it takes care of the (imo)low volume, but it's a little overwhelming. I have no idea what half of the settings are for. It works well, though.
Also, I had to download an older version for the drivers to work.
Thanks for the input!

extra loudspeaker attached with your phone..
I agree with the others - Viper4Andorid is a really advanced audio mod with lots of configurable settings.
I am having some audio glitches with Poweramp. It only seems to happen with this particular player (and since this is the player I purchased years ago I would like to use it).
Currently I am on Purity rom with Purified kernel. Every now and then my audio will 'blip', can't really explain it as it happens randomly. I have tried all of the internal tweaks and nothing.
Does anyone have a working Rom and Kernel combination that works flawlessly with poweramp they they are aware of?
Thank you!
Did you try to use the wakelock feature in Poweramp so that it stays in memory whenever it's being used?
I'm also using poweramp since ages now and everything works perfectly. BTW, I'm on AICP with ElementalX...
I use linaro version of franco kernel as it has faux sound and viper audio and i don't get the issue

Hi. Just got my nexus 5. Had gs3 and z1 before that. And i use bluetooth headsets alot.. And was very pleased with gs3 and boeffla kernel for sound! And on the z1 it already had superb quality on bluetooth.. Running pa rom with franco now.. And installed viper4android to try to adjust it.. But volume is still to low and kind of diffuse.. Any suggestions to what i can install or try? This phone is perfect in every way excepts audio quality!
Thanks for listening!
