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.

You sir are amazing. I've been struggling for days trying to get Viper4android to work with PowerAmp. The answer was to uncheck direct volume control in the advanced tweaks. Everything is all good now. My ears and my brain thank you!!

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.

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:

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)

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.
Love the equalizer! It's a whole different experience. Thing is, it only works with Google play music app? Can't get it to work with 8tracks and JangoRadio.
Help. U thought this was system wide.
Thanks!

Thank you! I've been so used to having it easily working on Nexus 5 that I forgot about compatibility mode.
This method also works with a shell command I have in Tasker that allows V4A to run without having to use AwesomePlayer and setting SELinux to permissive.
/system/xbin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"

Your comparing stock sound to Viper. No comparison. If you install viper and nothing sounds different then something is wrong. To troubleshoot you can search for viper4androind thread. Or tell me how you installed and will try to help.
For reference so that he knows what you mean by that. Are you saying that Viper has better decoding (ie closer to source) or that it just has a better soft mixer to make things sound better? Ie one of those is better if your BYI DAC and the other is just trying to make the best out of the stock DAC and speakers. Or is it a great app for both of those cases?
It's been a while since I had Viper on one of my phones, I will have to give this a try and report back how it sounds. Thanks for the post!

Actually, he/she is making a very valid point. The audio reproduction on the phone is one of the best on the market and it's no slouch compared to standalone audio equipment.
http://www.gsmarena.com/moto_x_style_pure_edition-review-1308p6.php#aq
To take audio and run it thru a bunch of software filters is just going to degrade the quality. Period. You think it sounds better because you're accustom to crappy sounding sound. The only real way to make it sound better is to get some decent headphones and maybe a headphone amp if the headphones have a high impedance.

After thinking about it. Your right. This phone has best sound of any phone or tab I've had. Og droid, HTC rezound, galaxy nexus, Sam g4, LG g2, nexus 7 2013. Also have a g4 which is loud but sounds like crap when pushed. Always used Viper to mask the poor sound quality or volume. But on the other hand your saying as popular as viper is, where just listening to crap. Then we all have some pretty bad hearing. I think it is different for everyone as we all don't hear the same sounds so tweaking is the only way to reproduce what we are missing. I will try running with no viper on my MXP and see if it appeases me. Thanks for the input though I feel this will always be debated.

I had this problem after a factory reset trying to correct a signal issue. I installed as I have outlines and nothing. So I restored the backup I had with viper running. Didn't want to spend to much time fixing it cause we should have roms relatively soon. Wish I new what else to say. Viper is the easiest to install on a mostly stock Google experience. One thing I can suggest is to turn of amp eq in MXP music player.

Already had that turned off. Really miss having V4A...
Does anyone know of the best equalizer apps for our phones? I've used a couple in the past and it had good bass, but it dropped the volume. And I'm asking of an app that would improve the sound from my BT to my vehicle to play my music. Oh, I use Google Play music as my source too.
Thanks in advance.
There's a built in equalizer in the phone settings. Probably won't find one that works right as an installed app.
I use...
Power amp. There is an equalizer in that app that works better than the stock equalizer.
for the S8 or Note 8 try Noozxoide i found to get the benefit i had to disable sound alive using BK disabler and it actually sounds almost as good as Viper4Android, all done without root and it gives volume a real boost too, its the best ive seen so far second only to viper
I've installed viper4android fx 2.7.1.0
BusyBox installed.
V4A drivers successfully installed but still no effect on sound quality doesn't matter whatever sound effects i try to change in V4A.
Any solution?

not sure what music player you are using, disable DVC and absolute volume control. I found on every phone i had with viper and poweramp dvc prevented viper from working properly.

Go into your file manager and copy your profiles into the profiles folder found in your V4A file on your main storage. Then select as normal in V4A.
You need to also install Audio Modification Library in Magisk to get Viper4Android working.
