[Feature Request] Equalizer

Hello, Im new to android and new to MX Player as well. When I first use this app I did not regard it as usefull, but after sometime I again download it and try to compare with other Video player and atlast I got my favurite Video Player.
Anyway, thanks for developing such a wonderful and powerfull video player. May I request one feature which I regard it as very usefull for watching movie with good sound quality. I mean including Equalizer in MX Player in coming version.
Thanks.

It's already in the Feature Requests list. Always check there before making a request.

Two years later, will there ever be an equalizer for MX ?
FYI, I'm a willing buyer as soon as an equalizer is confirmed. I'm hearing impaired and without setting the frequencies I can't use the MX properly.

Waiting for external EQ support

Same here! I do like this MX player, but I miss the VLC equalizer.
The nice thing about the VLC equalizer is, that it has a wide range, and 10 bands.
You can amplify frequencies up to 20dB. Many equalizers only go up and down 10 dB.
Nice about the MX player is that you can do a lot of adjusting to the way subtitles are displayed.

I have tried some of the equalizers like equalizer fx. Everything is working on my two test devices running on Marshmallow. Only thing is you have to ensure that the app is not suppose to be killed for battery optimization.
Yes it may some time inconsistent since the latest android devices doesn't provide option to select the default audio fx app. It might be the reason why the developers has stopped developing Universal audio processing apps.
10band equalizer will be great for audio geeks....
I will ask the MX Player developer about his plan for equalizer & update the status if any.

I was using this before, but as you suggested, it constantly loses audio focus.

It also interfered with the EQ that's built into Poweramp.

When Poweramp is closed properly, it's dsp plugin not suppose to be interrupt the audio.
BTW, had a interaction with @bleu8888. FYI, equalizer is planned for 1.10. He is in a process to finalizing 1.9.0 & working on some other features. Once 1.9.0 is finalized to all android 4.0 users he may take up other pending features like Equalizer, Chromecast for 1.10.

.m4p will be added in the audio extension list. even though it might not be played as it is DRM protected audio file format from Apple.

mx player sound enhancement

hii
thanks for the best ever video playing app
i want to suggest a feature for mx player.
users who has good quality headphones or the ones who doesnt really care much about sound while playing video songs or mp3 in mx dont need this feature but some users really like to customize sound system including me.
i request mx developers that please add sound enhancement features like plugins (am3d,bongivi dps etc), equalizer etc. in audio settings.

Equalizer, pc support and thanks.
...fans all over the world(Kenyan).
Thanks for the input and detail, I've been using the app since '15.
That equalizer would be the only thing that would make the app lethal.
Wish there was pc support too, preferably linux.
Cheers!

[Announcement] MX Player officially gets AC-3 Audio Support

MX Player team is very happy to announce that we are now adding “AC-3” audio support in our latest version of the app (i.e. MX Player v1.8.17 & MX Player Pro v1.8.16) in most of the regions.
If you have video files with “AC-3” audio, you can now play it without using any third-party / unofficial custom codecs…!
There are no extra efforts required on your end. Just relaunch the app again with working internet. Once, MX Player configuration is updated on your device, it will automatically start working again…!

Thank you very much

Great News! Thank You!

When I read that the AC-3 patent expired, MX Player is the first project that came to mind that would benefit from it. I was pretty bummed out when they forced you guys to remove support for the codec, but I'm glad that it's not longer an issue.

Wow - good riddance ! The patent won't be missed !
@Thirumalai.K thanks for adding the support , I got quite a few videos that use AC-3

I also like to know if this is the case for DTS, too. Or do we still need the custom codec?

For DTS, you still need a custom codec as it's copyrighted.
