Hi.
Android apparently has some sort of equalizer. When I play music is sounds better but louder than voice, which sounds distorted.
I assume there are different equalizer settings for each.
Because voice sounds distorted I wanted to search for something tweaking the settings.
Currently I only know Viper4Android, which has to be installed as an app.
I cannot use Viper4Android, so I wanted to search for some Equalizer settings built in Android 6.0.1 itself.
Could you help me finding them? Is there anything to tweak them (build.prop)?
Where do I start looking?
Specifically it is about my smartwatch, the speaker works fine but in phone mode the voice is distorted.
I want to find some way to tweak this.
Asus Zenwatch 2, rooted

So my current pair of headphones are broken, in that the right ear is significantly quieter than the left ear. Its pretty easy for me to remedy the issue on my laptop, as there are easy volume controls, however android seems to lack these options (as far as I can tell). I've tried looking for apps that do this, but I have failed at finding any outside of specific music player apps which I am against using simply because all of my music is on Google Play Music.
Any suggestions? I should also mention that I'm running CM10, so I don't have access to any Beats enhancements (at least I don't think i do).
And yes I know the easiest solution would be to buy new headphones
I know you don't like external music programs, but PowerAmp has a balance control :laugh:
Also has other settings i.e Bass, Treble, Equaliser
Poweramp cant access Google Play Music though, can it?
I have very little music on my phone to conserve space. I usually upload any new music i get to the cloud, so being able to access it is essential.
I'm kind of surprised that something as simple as this is somewhat difficult to find. I guess that not that many people want to adjust these settings.
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..!
Hi,
I'm new to this forum but I must say it's a good way to learn everything on mod for android!
I'm a happy user of the new google phone Nexus 5 but I have one problem lots of user are experimenting and can't find a solution :
The ringtone volume is very low and I miss lots of calls.
I've installed fauxsound but it only increase music played in google play apps or youtube !
I've tried volume+ without success.
I'm now searching for a mod/app (my phone is rooted) to hear my ringtone!
Thanks

Afaik, no such mod or app yet exists. As a workaround, you could amplify the ringtone(s) you use with a program like Audacity. Helps a bit.
Best option for now is to root and install Viper4Android. It is perhaps the best audio driver replacement there is and will allow you to increase the speker volume by as much as 6dB.

Assuming you are rooted, unlocked, and the app/driver installed.
Settings, Sound, Music Effects - Viper4Android
in the Viper4Android control switch to Phone Speaker
Check Enabled
Settings, UI Settings - Moderate or Expert
Scroll all the way down and adjust the Output Gain
You can also play with the EQ to boost the most audible frequencies.
At least on my phone the call announce and ringtone are as loud as any phone I have ever owned.
In the very worst case it will give you nice control over how the music sounds.

I am on bricked kernel. Everything good so far.
Pixel 3 is using for media/audio an inbuild Equalizer for an "better" sound (not for ringtone and messages?!)
I dont like the sound...
How can i disable it?
Hope theres a solution without root the phone :/
The EQ works on a per-app basis and should be off by default for all apps unless specifically turned on. To do this, whatever app you're using will give an option to access the system EQ for that app only. You can then turn the EQ on or off for that app.
To my knowledge, you can't access the EQ to turn it on unless an app specifically allows it. I believe this is the way Android Pie works.
I dont mean soundfx or whatever the eq is called.
Its already deactivated
Maybe Google using modifyed audio driver?
But thx

What is the difference you see
There is no sound boost when ther slider is all the way to the right for clarity as well as sound.
Even if there is a sound boost,it is very very small
Depends on a lot of things actually...what app were you using while trying to boost sound through the video toolbox?, what were you listening it in..I mean , was it via 3.5 mm jack headphones or the inbuilt speakers or via bluetooth? All will give different reulsts and also depends on whether any other sound settings were tinkered as well.

Ok..So were you tinkering with the equalizer and other settings found in phone settings--->sound effects prior to doing this sound boost or was it in memory?This happens to me quite often when I play around with both settings..i.e. the sound effects settings and the video toolbox sound clarity and volume boost. The only way out for me was to clear the memory though recent apps and start the youtube app again and this time the sound settings in video toolbox actually works. Dont do both at the same time if thats the reason why its happening ( make sure both the sound effects and the youtube app is cleared from the memory). Best identified through headphones. On a side note, best setting for me via the video toolbox sound boost is clarity on 2 or 3 and volume on 2 or 3.

I haven't played around with the sound effects in settings yet, it's set on smart preset already,when you increase the sound and clarity can you actually sense the increase in sound quality or is it minimal?

Marked difference... quite an increase in sound quality...BTW mine is set on Video/Voice most of the times in Preset. I find that best in terms of loudness and have tinkered with the equalizer giving it a bit of bass. But thats about it
Edit Update: The video toolbox sound effects have little to no effect when the preset is kept in smart. Video or voice gives a good difference. Kindly check and confirm if thats the case.
