HTC One SV Boost Mobile K2_CL Variant. I was stock when the 4.2.2 Sense 5 update came around. Updated accordingly through WiFi. 1st thing I noticed: The Beats Audio was BROKEN! Had to toggle Beats Audio Off/On in the settings to reach the full effect. Every time i'd skip to the next song, the EQ/Effect would diminish, meaning the Bass (Using SOL Republic Master Tracks Headphones) and Treble would go flat, and i have to go to Settings and toggle Off/On EVERY TIME i skip a track. Thanks to this Forum, I unlocked the Bootloader from HTCdev, flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0, Rooted (Soft Brick with No OS :silly, Flashed the 4.2.2 Backup thanks to ModdingMyMind , but the audio issue wasn't resolved . so i then ran rumrunner and Gained S-OFF, and successfully flashed/downgraded to the decrypted 4.1.2 stock ROM. Problem Solved! Now my issue is: I like Sense 5, but Every time i re-install 4.2.2 Sense 5, my phone goes through the same issues over and over with Beats Audio. 4.1.2 never has/had this issue for me. Is there any way i can actually ENJOY 4.2.2 without this issue?
Do not use Beats audio. Install ViperFX for Android. Much better sound and more settings.

Is this just your opinion? Or do you have the same issue?
It my opinion and conclusion after trying Beats. Don't remember about issue like yours.
I can't reproduce this test too, because I currently have non-stock ROM- ViperSV 1.6.0.

Well. I took your advice and Installed the ViPER4Android APK. I'm quite impressed! Beats Audio was so easy to enable/disable, and i was satisfied how it played every track/genre. It was SO easy. Now with Viper, I had to tune it so much, adding db here and there, enabling this effect, that effect. I'm really Happy with the BASS! After Enabling Dynamic Bass, WOW! This APK does my SOL Republic Master Tracks justice for the price! They handle the Bass very well. It did install over the Beats Audio Driver (Overwrite?), but I can still toggle Beats Audio in the settings menu, and with it On, it adds ALOT more gain than what ViPER adds, which sweetens the deal even more with ViPER's clarity/Bass combo. Couldn't thank you more for your suggestion. Now onto the Battery Life Drain with 4.2.2 , but that's an entirely different Thread.

I installed Tweak 2.0 coming from stock and had serious issues with audio. I re-flashed wiping data and the problems still persisted. I am getting audio skips when listening to music and I also had bad high pitched screeching noises. The audio was just plain "flat".
I flashed back to Eclipse with AOSP apps and the music was back to crystal clear with no skipping at all and the music was back to the "full" sound I was used to. I listen to a lot of Pandora in the car as I travel frequently. I also have the voodoo sound plus app to correct the low audio gain common with Samsung phones.
I get better battery life on Tweak and would like to stay on Tweak but can not live with the audio issues I was having. Does the audio get processed by the ROM or Kernal? I am using stock kernal for both.
I can not figure out what the problem is with Tweak Rom.
You don't have dsp manager ruining as well do you. I had to uninstall it when I can from eclipse to tweaked because audio issues.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
When I went to Tweak, it was a fresh install. DSP manager is included with Elclipse ROM, not Tweak. It was not even on my phone at the time.
Running Elclipse, I leave DSP manager off (all settings disabled).
Haven't heard of this one before - have you tried just using the same apks as are used in Eclipse? Audio has never been an issue, though I haven't used much beyond the play music and pandora apps myself.
Another thought - have you tried it with and without voodoo sound plus app being installed?
Hey Dwith,
No, I have not tried just the Eclipse Apps, I would not know where to start. In regards to the voodoo sound app, I can not listen to audio with my phone without it. It does not put out the correct audio output or dynamic range. The sound level is just too low without voodoo.
One would probably not notice if they are connecting the phone to a boombox or something small but when you connect it to an aplified home theater system or an aftermarket car audio system the difference between voodoo and non voodoo with the droid charge is like night and day.
I am pretty new to flashing ROM's and such so I am sorry if I can't troubleshoot this more. I was hoping maybe I was not the only one with this problem and others would chime in.
I really like Tweak but I can live with Eclipse too. They are both great ROMS.
Hi,
this is my first thread and I already searched everywhere to get my problem solved. Unfortunately without successso far...
Whatever soundmod I am using, the sound does not change at all on my HTC One XL (evita) with AOKP milestone 2.
First, I tried Viper4Android, installed everything, chose V4A in the sound settings, enabled V4A, chose different IRS files, but whatever I do,
the sound does not change at all, no matter how I change the program's settings. I followed all the installation instructions carefully,
so the program should work fine.
After removing V4A, I tried Noozxoide, installed it, chose it in the settings and enabled it. But there is also no effect on the sound quality at all,
no matter how I adjust the settings in the app.
Lastly, I downloaded some other DSP/equalizer programs like Music Equalizer, but there is no change in the sound when I adjust effects and
settings (enabling, disabling the program does not change anything, all equalizer pre-sets sound identical, extra bass has no effect etc.).
As I use my phone for listening music every day, the sound quality is quite important for me and compared to the Sense with Beats Audio it is
really much much worse.
The sound quality is the only downside compared to the stock rom for me, otherwise I am very happy with AOKP and the rom works very fine.
Does anyone know where the problem might be?
Are there any soundfilters in AOKP that prevent sound mods to work properly?
Any other HTC/AOKP users that have/had similar problems?
Thanks a lot in advance..!

above link is to a audio mod with both V4A and Dolby atmos, by TheRoyalSeeker

it works except for the sony sound settings,
also if it works on any other rom please post the status

yeah but dolby and v4a works right, im gonna try for cynapop will update post then
Everyone know Dolby and v4a working in CM13.
Flashed this mod with DD+ and it made everything sound garbled without even turning the mods on. All apps seem to work, including Sony player but results are horrible, something is broken there.
Oxygen OS 2.2.0 with Boeffla kernel
Edit: even bigger disappointment is finding out that V4A does not work on OOS. Damn!

I have tried this one three different custom CM13's so far and the Divine Equalizer has worked on none of them. I can get V4A working, but only if I install it using the "LoliViper" ZIP. Is there a fix OP or am I just screwed?
@Rub It is maybe you need to change selinux to permissive instead of enforcing?

Just tried it on CyanOxy and yes, short answer would be that it works but results aren't so impressive. Distortions creep in, while bass was lacking before this now is overblown and I can't find a way to tone it down effectively. V4A is hidden somewhere in there but installing regular app doesn't seem to work for adjusting, parallel to that there is so much sound processing that it is insane. Divine eq doesn't respond, two music players also fall apart when skipping songs. Not good. Maybe on some other phone or ROM... so for now, nandroid back and use just clean V4A. Although even that worked better on CM13
New v7.00 seems to work, and also has new approach - base zip with addons and/or apps separately :good:
Nope. Bluetooth is gone after flashing. Sound seems to be better than before flashing it, but with V4A turned off. Turning it on just ruins everything, so there is again too much processing out of users control.
Dolby Atmos is only other visible app and it just has to be turned off or crackling and distortions go over everything
Also volume control is broken, full volume is about on half of the scale, with horrible distortions, then it tones down and going louder again, only with more horrible distortions. Ugh.

Any way (.zip) to uninstall the Viper ?
Its pain in $$a to restore the ROM from TWRP
Viper is no problem but all other libs and changes are impossible to remove. Always backup before flashing this kind of stuff, then restore takes only a minute

I'm running H2OS 6.0.1 (V1.4.0) Firmware Version ONE A2005_24_160513 and it's working for me.
All I did was set SELinuxMod to Permissive using the SELinuxModeChanger app and used the Dolby Atmos Remover zip to remove DA mod. Working great with my headphones but haven't tried bluetooth audio yet, which is when I use my phone for music most...
Backup data first!
worst thing to flash. broke both my speaker and headphones. worst sound mod ever madhe.
Yup.
Problem with bad audio was on first OOS3 beta and later it was fixed, and with Dirac HD (whatever that is, sound is ok) on final OOS or V4A (which still plays funny with bluetooth, needs user fixing) - I don't see the point of these mods. They just create more problems, and do sound processing without any user control and cannot be turned off. That is just nasty.
Anyway, it is impossible to make it sound better with some software mods, it is just an illusion. We need better hardware, better DAC, better amplifier to really get better sound. Using OTG, or maybe just in-line headphone amp from FiiO or something similar. Short of that, V4A is more than enough for some tweaks.
Root needed. And always rember to make a backup first.
Make your stylo louder and sound much better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Not my work so make sure to give thanks where neccisaray.
Download is near bottom of 1st post. If running marshmallow download selinux changer and set kernal to permissive. To solve the no effect problem.
Ive been using this on many devices best sound mod anywhere.
Also go into settings in viper and change ui setting to expert for many more mods.
And so its out there ms631 on h631 mm
There is also an audio fix that you can flash to make the phone louder.

Sure is. You can replace the mixer_paths.xml file for louder volume. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/increasing-stylos-volume-t3230127
Dont use other audio mods with viper. Once u learn the advanced ui viper increases volume better than most. Like raising the db level in clarity setting. And some of the gains. Only thing viper dont touch is the earpiece in call speaker. But loud speaker and bluetooth and headphone vols can all be increased from variuos settings
No need for any equalizers or any mods. Viper post says they can cause a no effect and other conflicting issues.
I'm using the Audio fix + dolby.
I just know the viper thread says not to and disable any mods if u have any issues.
I was just throwing it out i got it workin and what i did cause all the threads ive found on stylo no one can get it working

Not at all. I used the stock equalizer and viper on my g4. Worked ok. Thats what were here to do
So, strange question and I might be asking for the wrong thing.
On OOS with viper (tried all varieties) if I have viper on over BT headphones, and the volume is above 80%, anything remotely bassy clips like hell and I get quieter volume during that point. I never had this problem with any older phone that wasn't OnePlus. If I used a custom os like Lineage on my old OP5, the problem never appeared. I use the aptx hd Bluetooth codec, but turning that off makes no difference. If its the Bluetooth stack, maybe its possible to port the Lineage one to OOS? I'm not sure what exactly it is, but if anyone has an idea, I'm open to it.
I like OOS and would like to stay on it, mainly to maintain my safetynet and stability.
Edit: The effect I had on if either dynamic system, or viper bass, both at minimum settings. Worked in my old phones that were not oneplus
Have you tried the viper in xxnolimits? I had the same issue with other vipers on oos but using this one I have no issues with clipping. I don't really use dynamic system with my headphones because it doesn't really add bass, but just lowers the volume of everything except bass. This was the same on aosp as well, and I did just test with the included no limits viper and got no clipping.

In fact, I did, it was the best copy of viper I had seen. It only seems to be with oneplus phones on OOS. When I use aosp/lineage I don't get the problem. With xxx, the effect was a lot less clippy, but because I sometimes have my music up at 100%, like on my Bluetooth speakers (it's a big one), it's still noticeable. It's like the OOS audio stack, or Bluetooth drivers or something have something to do with it.
The only other thing i could think of would be to modify the audio mixer file to raise the volume, so that the current 100% volume is now around 80%.that might also solve it but I have no idea where to begin
The best thing I've found so far is to lower the output volume on viper to -3db to fix it, it's not perfect though
