Hi all,
as you know - phq has poor headphones audio output.
Sound is like flat
I have tested many headphones and now i have ibeats.
I tried to install beats apk from market - phone wont boot...then install beats zip in twrp - phone
wont boot...then install older version - phone boot, but audio quality still
Can you please help me with this?
Yes. Download PimpMyRom and install Beats Audio via flashing the zip from recovery. After that, a free market download Beats Audio Installer. Run that as well. Now after all that go into settings/sound/music effects and select Beats option. In your app drawer u will find the Awesome Beats Audio app to customize the sound. Prepare to be blown away!
The only thing simple is the belief in simplicity.

Did u do a dalvik/cache wipe before install? This happened to me as well, and I did a system restore from a previous Nandroid *system ONLY! Not data/boot etc.* and poof the driver was installed. Including a screenshot for proof positive.
Let me know if u have any other problems!

.......so i will test it....moment
...so i tested...it make something with sound , but quality is hell sh*t
I have for compare sound old ipod touch1and audio on it is better......tooooo much better. Maybe phq has really wrong audio
...can you tell me what is for you the best audio setting on beat apk???
Suggestion
I use AC!D SoundMOD, and it really seems to help. Though it does have quite a footprint in my phone, and requires some tweaking to get the best result.

That's strange. I use Poweramp player, and with the built--in eq and preamp Beats Audio turns it into probably the best sound emitting device I have ever used, and I have been a club DJ for 8 years and a musician for 30 years. Take a look at my screenshot to see how I have mine set up...did u also install the driver from Beats Audio Installer * root from the market?

These equalizer settings sound great man, I use n7 player my music sounds great. The only issue I run into is when I use GPS or get a text while listening to music on n7, the audio from the GPS and notification is so low I can't hear it. I'm not certain if this is due to equalizer setting, beats audio, or n7 player.

Not sure...within watever player's settings you choose to use there should be mods for that particular issue.
Cheers & Happy New Year

:laugh:i tried this mod and it is working great with the stock music and stock video app you will find new options in the app equalizer called pure surround
Brief Description of what mod does:
eXtremeBeats™ Studio and eXtraBass is a sound mod, infused with mods like PureAudio, AwesomeBeats, and BeatsAudio. This mod will give you clearer and in general more bassier sound where possible. You'll also hear many sounds you may have never heard in a android phone/tablet before. But i suggest some decent headphones to really enjoy this mod, but even with stock headphones you will have a great listening in experience.

Hello I would like to try this mod, got some IE 80's so ill see the difference but the download link is not working for me could you fix this please?
Sorry for that (links fixed)
fail to install the extremebeats zip file with the apk
This is my personal setup and it sounds great. Also please consider getting decent - high end earphones/ headset.
As for me im using senheiser CX870 earphones. Here we go
1. Must be rooted
2. Buy poweramp! Yes this is the BEST music player on android.
3. Get viper4android here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
4. Download noozxoide EIZO-rewire pro series here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noozxoidelabs.eizo.rewirepro
5. The idea is to set v4a as secondary. So in settings > sound > music effects. Set to noozxoide. Then open v4a install the drivers (i use superior) and FX compatible mode set to Compatible.
6. Reboot your phone
7. Enjoy!
Tips with v4a and nooz settings:
You guys really need to experiment. As results will vary,
Nooz:
Lineout >
Deliver balanced natural sound: OFF
Digital preset: AUDIOPHILE
VE engine: OFF
Increase monitor size: LARGE-I
Create V-sur: STUDIO-II
V4a: make sure to enable ui settings to EXPERT
V4fx: ON
Playback gain: ON/EXTREME/4X/0db max output
Viper DDC: ON - beyerdynamic-DTX11iE
Equalizer: OFF (I stick to poweramp eq)
Convolver: ON - HTC beats audio 128kbps
Viper Bass: On
Bass mode - natural
Frequency - 100hz
Bass boost - 6db
The idea is to compliment poweramp's eq and bass with these 2 apps. I recommend setting v4a and nooz as SYSTEM APPS for better compatibility.
If you really wanna be technical, also use Tasker. Create a task which opens both v4a and nooz when headset inserted and kills when unplugged.
Hope thos helps my fellow audiophiles! Enjoy!

Analog of PowerAMP can be AIMP, may be not functionally like POWERAMP but it's awesome and NO ADS and without other bad stuff.
One question. Viper setting Conclover ON ok, but I cant find HTC beats 128kbps. There is nothing..

You need to download IR samples. You can download a bunch of them from the official v4a thread

Try to convert both nooz and v4a as system apps. And set Sound effects with nooz.

The best music setup is through the adapt sound function from the phone settings. But it only works with the stock music player. Everything else just sucks.
V4a is miles ahead of adapt sound. Feels like you just connected a DAC when you use the app lol. Pure audio bliss using the note 3 and the xba h3 with v4A

From a fellow audiophile to another, I gotta say your idea is good, but only half-way. Firstly, the setup you offered us worked best for your headphones, but that does not necessarily mean they will sound just as well on others. Took my 3 headphones for a test drive( Shure SRH-750DJ, AudioTehnica M50X and Beats Studio Wireless). The conclussion was similar among them, even though all 3 pairs are designed for different types of music and with different frequencies and scoops: the instant i installed noozoxide i sensed a huge increase in bass, increase which at high volume caused crackling. Since that happened, adding more decibels from v4a just made things worse (although the 100hz frequency of the lows helped a bit, it was still too much). A steady 3.5db increase is sufficient. The digital preset Audiophile actually sounded baaaaaad on my toys, was only vaguely acceptable on the M50X. Unique II and III made the sound much better. The playback gain in v4a offers just noise, not an actual increase. Better play with a kernel that has fauxsound (managed to turn all my headphones to such insane volumes that they are louder around my neck than the phone speaker). Don't even get me started on the convolver.... As for Viper DDC, I must really say that it is VERY headphone specific. The DTX11iE may have sounded good on your headphones but turned mine into high frequency devices that could crack windows. Each pair of headphones works best with different presets of thr DDC.
All in all, your idea was very good but I really suggest people should play with these settings until they find the sweet spot for their own pair of headphones, since there cannot be a preset to fit them all. Have fun
honestly, installing nooz while having v4a seems a bit pointless to me.... i use v4a with irs samples and other setting tweaked so as to work perfectly with the Etymotic hf5 that i have....V4a is configured properly offers top class results without the need to resort to other apps....dont even need poweramp...besides best audio app i ever came across that offered fantastic sound was neutron music player...now THAT was something...
Im using V4A in combination with PowerAMP, and muat say that sound qualiti is on the high level

Hi guys, my name is Alessandro and I've just rooted my Z3. I've seen there are many Sound Mods out there and I'd like to know which one you'd suggest me to try with. Which one produces the best sound according to you?
I was also thinking about a small portable amp for my 16 ohm earbuds. Do you use one?
Thank you!
If I had to choose one I would go with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-dontbelive-marshmallow-stereomod-v1-t3366065 as it seems it's the more clean one
I don't really like sound mods because many of them look like "hey we got beats, dolby, whateveryouwanttoinserthere" and then it's like... "so many stuff, does this really even work?" I like the way the original audio config for Xperia Z3 sounds, anyways you can also try using new libraries from stock sony roms (don't remember if it was on cross device or cross themes, but it was a port from androidexpert35) in the case your rom doesn't have the libraries updated already.
Also, watch out for mods that "amplify" the audio quality of your phone, many cause a crackling noise because they add a number that comes to their head instead of following the sound chipset config (this is from personal experience as I restored the original sound quality for xperia zl and z in cyanogenmod builds (unreleased job))
P.S: Do a backup of your current rom with TWRP before flashing any "sound mod" because if you have some regrets you'll regret even more not having a backup and then having to spend hours flashing again stock rom and getting your system back to what it was before flashing anything
Oh I forgot to mention that I use a pair of Sony ZX310 headphones when listening to music with the following configuration on sound enhancement (stock rom):
DSEE HX: On
Surround Sound (VPT): Studio
Equalizer
400: 0
1k: -3
2.5k: +3
6k: +3
16kHz: 0
Clear Bass: Adjust between 4 and 8 (6 is preferable but adjust to your needs)

I agree with you. I'm looking for something which can improve the audio output quality of the Z3, not just for remarkable names.
Is it possible to couple V4A with the Sony Audio Enhancements?

try one of these, the audio quality on headphones directly depend on the quality of the headphone,
Ans the settings you set on your headphone selection on V4A, I got Sony MDR-NC33 Noise which is pretty enough for me, other V4A can be experiment and find out with respect to the headphone,
see for yourself bro, and one thing the audio mods above are far more better than Sony Audio Enhancement, I tested it and tried not to leave sony stuff coz z3 coz like 40k here but at the end of the day there are more options on V4A and you can combine it with Dolby Atmos MOD mad by bro guitardedhero, cya just sharing my opinions and experiences

Thank you so much for your opinion! Wich audio mod works good combined with V4A. I mean, how do I know if some libraries will be in conflict with V4A? Which combos have you already tested?
I think you should probably install V4A and not mix it with other stuffs...
Do I have to disable the original Sony Soundenhancement.apk to use V4A?

I think ARISE WORKS BETTER,
forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709
that developer guitardedhero and his team are constantly updating but the the other mod that Xtreme Music is fairly good but I think he havent updated in a while and he also get banned sometimes for ad-links by the mods, any way it upto your choice I prefer more of that guitardedhero and its more stable I think, I tried both mixed in early stages of arise and xtreme music, the the sound was awesome, I got like 3 system equalizers, one for V4A, other DolbyAtmos and Xtreme Music Equalizer working simultaneously at a time, it was great, I had to throw sony's sound enhancement (sorry sony) stuff completely since if conflicts with other V4A and DolbyAtmos,
just back up your current rom, and try things out mixing them, if they dont work just google it people always have similar problems like tweaking startup init script and other workarounds.
And one last thing use powerAMP beta 3 for audio playback throw that sony music app aka walkman, it supports FLAC and has good UI and sound engine too, works with V4A. Just my experiences bro, try and find out for yourself,
http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/8810-poweramp-alpha-build-703704/
And one thing get a XDXC 64 gigs SD card, listen to flac audios only n cheap mp3 ****s, if you need any flac songs pm me, i got 300gigs of it
I'm trying some specific mods for the Z3, actually the last version of the Dontbelieve's mod. Arise will be my next step. How do I disable the original Sony sound enhancement when playing with arise?

Everything working. Guys, nothing can be compared with ARISE. Harder to configure, but way better results.
Not sure if this information is useful to anyone but here it is.
Basically after nougat update Poweramp music player's 24bit playback mode fails to activate (even with latest 704 alpha installed). So those audiophile among us might be super annoyed .
Solution, add this line to build.prop , this has enabled 16bit 192khz playback on aicp7.1.2
ro.lenovo.hifi_support=true
Text would be better so anyone can copy-paste the settings!
Worked for LOS14.1
Small update , it seems that someone on the Poweramp forums has managed to enable 24/192 playback by tricking the phone into thinking it has Samsung software .
Anyone have any idea what he added to the build.prop?

If you want the best audio you can get out of your phone, install viper4arise. (and use esira/eleven)
Edit: Viper does not activate 192khz playback, because its useless (for a smartphone with only 1 aux output) read why here.

Hires audio is a complicated subject. I think it works for me because of the placebo effect ? Lmao
However, I'm also just a hobbyist looking to tinker around.
If I can recall correctly , most forms of audio mods on Android increases the noise floor by a significant amount, making everything sound quite messy (but I haven't tested arise yet) .
Just looking to share info around and spread the fun of tinkering

I had this problem with arise too, but you can reduce the "output gain" to reduce the quality loss while amplifying the signal (just remember to set it back if you need a louder signal, e.g. for small speakers). Like that i was able to completely anulate the small glitches and rushing/shizzling (or at least i dont hear it anymore xD).
I've tried dozens of sound mods (even changed roms for it) and the best (and most stable) solution for me is viper.
You however have to try around and install the arise modules one-by-one and then setting everything suitable for your needs (Profiles, add-ons like atmos).
But its worth it, even my 24bit 192Khz computer sound sounds bad now! :crying:
And? How do you like Arise? ^^

What Earphones do you have?
For my somic/Xiaomi In-ear's it works perfectly (Arise core+atmos +Sono's headphone profile) i only use Atmos for more bass (e.g. drum n bass/goa).
But Mi4c/s is a ***** concerning audio (i think to remember flashing rom for rom to get good audio, but thats some time ago) xD

Yeah smartphone audio might just be average unless if its a LG V series .

This trick just send 192khz audio PCM data to Android audio resampler, after that audio data will be resampled to 48khz/16bit for output.

However, in my hi-res output option, DVC is always enabled.
As it's conflicting with Dolby, how to forcefully disable it?
