Never had a problem playing my FLAC files, just tried again to make sure and they work fine.
I got the update through the update center a few minutes ago, in the info it mentioned 8.4.A.5.3 but when I check in my walkman app, I'm actually on 8.4.A.5.4. There must have been an extra bug fix.

Maybe because Walkman is for everyday users lol. Mp3 works for then while us Audio geeks need Flac which don't work for walkman. Damn you Sony !¡!¡!¡!¡!

Hi mate can share the 8.4.A.5.4 apk?

Sorry I have no idea how to share it/where the apk is stored. You'll probably get the update soon anyway

Any ideas why could it be that the Visualizer doesn't work? It just gives a black screen and that's it... It has been this way from previous versions as well... I cleaned the data but no difference... :/

Here's the 8.4.A.5.4 version.
Normally this is the right apk. I extracted it from system/app but I noticed there's another semcmusic.apk in system/priv-app with a smaller file size. Let me know if it's the right one otherwise I'll upload the other one.

Very nice can u make Harman kardon or Beats work on A9 ?

What means "Edit for ACC"?
Thank you.

兄弟 ! Thank is work for me . :good:

Can anyone tell me which File i have to edit? Thank you.
Edit: Have found the File. It is under System/customize /ACC/default.xml
It is working. But if it is really a better Sound i can not say. Maybe. Maybe not.

Good find.:good:

I've got it working (somewhat) on mine. I can select Music or Theater mode when audio is playing out of the internal speaker, but I don't hear any difference when I switch between the modes.
I suspect that it's not actually doing any processing on the audio stream.

Yeah if it would've made a real improvement, HTC would be very boneheaded to not include the option out of the box

Does it make the speaker louder?
If not did you try boost it up with V4A?

Well it seems that nothin' change.. and V4A doesn't work at all.. i would love to get choice between beats, harman and boomsound like S-rom

V4A need root + SELinux set to permissive (you can do it by app or custom kernel)

I already try this but nothing work

I don't have the A9 yet, I have to sell my G4 1st but there is surely a way to make V4A work if you use SElinux permissive.
A custom kernel should enable it

So in the end this mod changes something in sound or it's only activating the boomsound speaker in terms of text only?

V4A sucks on A9!
V4A on HTC A9 is terrible!!! Don't even try to make it work on your A9. It makes my A9 sounds like a radio. ??
I get it via a custom arise and I really hate it. I wish I had backup my ROM if I am not a dumb flasher at that time. Back then I thought I could reverse flashing. But gratefully I use es file explorer to successfully delete it though I couldn't completely delete all of the arise's function.

I deleted the line but no change i have root, s-off

From my personal experience, the volume is just generally low on stock and drivers like Viper give a very marginal gain at best, and are likely to result in reduced quality audio since the speaker isn't that good. Its one of the few points of this phone I dislike. I also found that Viper is buggy and doesn't always work but you're welcome to try it

Viper4Android is the best sound mod, You should give it a try. It's not only the gain but the quality.

If You have any issue try the LolliViper version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
For better perfomance You have to make it a system app. Using a root file manager like Root Explorer move the app folder located in data/app to system/priv-app.

i love my mate 8 its really a good device but i have only one issue with it, its the low speaker volume i noticed this since the first day i got it (speaking from an ex. samsung note 5 user) i can surely say that the note 5 speaker is much louder and its so strange how big the difference is so i was thinking that maybe i have a defective mate 8?

LeMax2 Equalization ??

equalization that compensates for the small size of the speaker
provides a more balanced distribution of all sound frequencies
reinforcing the bass and removing excess energy from the treble

I have difficulty manipulating the equalizer values
the problem may have many causes, such as the AudioFX application, LineageOS 15.1 system and/or LEX821 device
does anyone else have difficulty?

Yes, this is a crap. You are not alone. I have even tried to report, but they just deleted my post because "we don't accept feature requests". Afaik nobody working on it currently, so don't expect any fixes
Problem is gui, sliders don't react on touch.

Question ViPER4Android or Dolby Atmos working?

Just got myself one of these lovely devices and so far I'm enjoying it!
One thing I'd like to "fix" though - I'd like to get either ViPER or Dolby working on this as it's the sound I'm used to from the Samsung side of things.
Has anyone managed it?
Thanks!

Thanks - that's very useful to know!
I did try this and whilst it does appear to work (no errors, no warnings, JamesDSP manager starts, etc) I didn't notice any difference in the actual audio output when changing options. Have you? Maybe I'm just going deaf!

It's a common issue with Audio mods and unpatched kernel/system, a simple fix is just to force stop and restart the Jdsp manager, make sure nothing is playing while you're doing this

Confirmed that latest Viper4Android works for me. On global WW .188 rom rooted.
Edit: After testing for sometime the inbuilt audiowizard sound effect equalizer will not work eventhough you can move the sliders and eq.
Noticed a wierd bug if you force close v4a then you will lose control of the app and you would not be able to enable or disable effects. So you will be having the last set audio effect of v4a. For that you need to do a Fast reboot or a full Reboot then a short enable and disable legacy and compatibility mode to get it working back.
