[Q] [CM] [4G] Headphone volume to loud, DSP-Manager not working?

Hi @ all,
I recently purchased the Moto G and installed (after testing all functions) the newest Cyanogen ROM. I'm quite happy with the overall performance of the device.
One problem is still annoying me though: The volume of every type (ringtone, in-call,...) of the headphone jack is much too loud, even on its lowest setting, since I'm using very high efficiency IEM's. The DSP-Manager doesn't appear to work (does not request root access, no change in volume when activated)
I've countered some parts of this issue with the following steps:
-The music volume is lowered by the Poweramp equalizer
-The volume of all custom ringtones, notifications and alarms is lowered by 15dB via Mp3Gain on my rig. This doesn't really help, because now the volume of all custom sounds is too low without the headphones. I barely get up in the morning, but it is definitely better than blowing out my eardrums.
So the question is: How can I activate the DSP-Manager? Or is there another way to solve this?
Thx a lot
EDIT: Solved the problem by increasing the overall volume steps to 45 via modification of the necessary .jar file via this great guide (http://chrisdube.com/increase-number-of-volume-steps-in-android/). DSP-MAnager works, but only with media volume.

Odd Sound Settings Behavior

Hi - wanted to share my experience with the s7, particularly the sound (media) performance.
Got the S7 (duos) last week, rooted, and pretty much happy with the snappy device (and I like the camera much).
What I've noticed so far (and not happy with these) are: bluetooth connection issues (too many related posts here and everywhere else so I won't add my rant) and the sound settings not staying put.
Here's my sound settings experience -
1. If I set up (Settings/Sounds and Vibration/Sound Quality and effects) and tweak the settings to my liking - equalizer custom, surround on, concert hall on, and adapt sound personalized, the resulting output to my bluetooth and wired speakers are acceptable (lower volume than I prefer but I can manage)
2. That sound set up will mysteriously disappear although the settings do not change (i.e. the switches and equalizer settings are as I've set them) and the only way I get them back is to toggle the settings.
Very odd. I've never experienced this before (I've had a GS2, GS4, a note 8) and a Sony Z5 (selling).
Has anyone else experienced this and what was your fix?

I did not experience the same but there is another thing that is bothering me.
Sometimes Notification and System Volume gets changed with the same volume level whenever I change the Ringtone Volume level by pressing the volume buttons. it's like all these are stuck together.
I found that this issue is due to rooting the device. Some settings gets weird after rooting.
If i don't root, the phone works fine. No issues.
And if I increase the volume, we get a popup like "Listening at a high volume for a long time may damage your hearing". Upto this point the Sound will be minimum. If i increase just a bit more from that level, suddenly the Sound increases massively.

I have an issue with bluetooth as well. Not sure if it's related but I bluetooth Pandora through my truck, and I have my media volume turned all the way up so that I can just control it through the player installed in my vehicle. If I'm listening to music when I turn off my truck but leave Pandora open on my phone, paused of course, then start up the truck again the volume level is low as if it turns itself down to the "safe hearing level" setting, but when I go to raise the volume it tells me it's all the way up. This won't go away until Pandora moves on to the next song. It's kind of annoying because I don't want to blast my speakers when the song changes but I haven't found a solution. Maybe these are related because this only happens with bluetooth for me.

I think I may have had the problems before I rooted.
Anyone not rooted having similar issues on the sound settings changing?
(please, not don't post bluetooth issues here. There are many threads about that already)

Bluetooth headset battery on notification

I listen to music on my phone through a sony Bluetooth headset. Sony did not provide any battery indicator on the phone so the battery just dies without warning to recharge.
However, I just noticed today that EMUI 5 shows the battery level beside the Bluetooth icon.
Kudos to Huawei.
Just thought I should let people know about this feature.

How is the sound quality? Any sound artifacts? My p9 have a bad Bluetooth quality. Kind like static/electronic effect in some songs are way noticeable.
Battery Bluetooth indicator is available in emui 4.1 on a honor 6x

I had it on the honor 5x also and yes it's a nice feature. I use JBL Bluetooth earbuds with my Honor 8 and it sounds fine.

This is possible on Android, at least on Lollipop. The feature is dependent on the Bluetooth headset sending the battery level in the right format. If the headset supports it, you will see an option in the settings screen for the Bluetooth device. The option will be right above the checkboxes for Call and Media audio. If you don't see this option then the headset either doesn't send battery data or it doesn't send it in the correct format. One enabled you will see a fillable icon on the left side of your notification bar. I've confirmed this using a cheap earbud set from China.

It's actually amazingly good. I just switched from a Xiaomi Mi4C with Resurrection Remix 5.8 to the Honor 8 and i have to say, this is the first phone in ages i am not tempted to just bake a custom rom on to, because stock is missing so much. EMUI 5.0 is doing absolutely amazing for a stock rom (yes, i'm still missing a lot of features, but i think i can and will wait until Honor releases the source code).
Sound quality is pretty damn good. Yes, there are some occasional artifacts, but i think they have to do with not turning off the new(-ish) battery saving feature for that App, that has been introduced in Marhsmallow and refined with Nougat. Also, i only have those artifacts on my Bluetooth Headset - in my car with Bluetooth Radio there is no such thing and i have the feeling, it sounds better than the Mi4C.

Decrease minimal volume?

I already thought the first volume level was too loud, but with the addition of xloud it definitely is.
Of course, I could just switch xloud off, but switching it off and on as much as switching volumes is a hassle.
Does anyone now a way to lower the first volume level?
Or alternatively, a way to switch xloud quickly? Like with a quick settings tile, or automatically on low volumes with Tasker-like apps?

Question LineageOS nightly lineage-19.1-20221105 some low audio volumes

Hello,
I updated to the latest build of LineageOS for this device. Now, screen tap noises, lock noise and the battery noise that plays when you plug the device in to charge, have extremely low volumes. I mean I can't even boost them up without a special program that mods all the volumes not just those. Any way to change the ringer volume to be amplified as much as Media Volume is, and to boost up those other specified noises? I can boost the key tap noises for the keyboard as it has a special volume control for that but not the others I mentioned.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with this device?
Thanks

I also noticed on this build of LOS that the notification LED does not work to indicate charging so it doesn't turn on at all when the device is plugged in for charging. Any fixes? Maybe wait for a new build?
Thanks

I noticed that the 10/15/2022 build has
sm8250-common: overlay: Disable use of battery LED
Seems kind of weird
