Google Play Music App Bass Boost function reduces bass instead of boosting it.

Hi,
I'm really confused right now. If i slide the Bass Boost slider to the right, it reduces bass instead of boosting it.
Scenario 1: Decent bass:

Scenario 3: Sissy bass:
What is going on? Is this expected behavior?
Sub question 1: What are the best eq settings for nexus 5 according to you guys?
Sub question 2: What is the best alternative for Google Music App for nexus 5?
Thanks!

Honestly the best thing you can do is install viper4android. Best audio mod out there period! Been using it since I got the phone.

V4A hits your battery hard when listening to music. That's why I just use dspmanager

I don't wanna root my phone.

This is repeatable? Can you try with the eEQ sliders at 0db? Also Surround seems to enable itself so keep it off or the same for your testing.

The built-in EQ is utter crap and has always been.
I'm not sure why you don't want to root, but you're missing out if you haven't used Viper.

Is it possible to improve the sound quality of the speakers?

Hello, I am quite happy with my Note PRO 12.2 so far. The main problem is the sound quality. Is there a way to improve the quality perhaps through software?
Why Samsung does not move the speakers of their tablets to the front like the ones on the MacBook Pro Retina Display?

I installed ViPER 4Android. Very happy with the results. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

It seems that it requires one to root the device. Is there a solution without rooting?

Have you tried using the equalizer?

Is it a software or hardware?

The thing I hate about most equalizers on Android is that once enabled maximum volume is decreased although the shape of the sound does change. Sometimes I just want more volume. .. for that a custom kernel and dsp manager are needed.

Software. I believe the stock one is MusicFX, and most serious music players have their own. Personally I use N7player.

Firstly, disable Adapt Sound in the application manager. It evens out the volume of all audio.
I've also disabled musicFX.
Some music app equalizers have a pre Amp increaser which boosts or decreases the volume to a level of your choice. Screenshot included.

That's N7 player, by the way. It has one of the more extensive equalisers I've come across. (those are the settings on my Note 3 but that's beside the point).

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.

[Beats Audio] Equalizer without root

Hi people, this it's my first contribute for the poco community. I really miss Arise4Android but I don't want rooting my F1 (for now), whatever, searching for the better equalizer without root I found this app on a Moto G thread (¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and works well!!
FOCUS, the buttons don't got any animation, your only guide to know if it's running it's your ears (and the notification bar icon). I know, it's not the better option for increase the audio quality, but without root it's complicated found better options.
Tested on stable pie with my edifier oxygen earphones. Flat preset for me it's the best. Recommended lock it on recents and deactivate the battery saver for stay in background.

Thanks for the app, but this app just controls the built-in equalizer that you can easily adjust from "headphones & audio effects“ settings (image no.2) or from settings of any audio player such as Sony music (image no.1) or mi music player (image no.3).

Mmmm, i'm not sure for what, but in my poco the stock equalizer ever stay deadctive, Bluetooth or wired earphones, can't set anything and it's for that I'm looking every option as exist. Can be because I set Spain in region?

I also have the same problem with my POCOPHONE F1.
I'm in UK. Tried so many things to get a better equalized sound, but still no joy!
Grateful for any advice on how to get a better sound like with my previous old HTC ONE X with BEATS sound which gave a much superior sound than the POCO!

If you want better audio quality without root with Bluetooth earphones this it's the best option, if want equalizer with cable you can choose the Miui Equalizer, but if you want more volume download Goodev volume amplifier from Playstore.

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!

If you don't mind a different UI.... JamesDSP works fine

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.
