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

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.

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
This is a life saver for parents
o to Settings - sound and vibration - Seperate App sound (all the way at the bottom)
turn on and pick the app you want(limited to 1 app at a time)
Then choose the location (I chose Music to bluetooth)
This way I can still listen to music and be able to hand my daughter my phone so she can watch youtube
Impressive, didn't think of that as a use case. Although I don't think I'll be handing anyone my phone just yet
For example (?) : can you watch a video/broadcast mute (sport game), and listen TuneIn ( running commentary ) at the same time ?
Actually android is deeply missing basic audio mix table !
Also can you (lucky owners) tell us if :
-AKG earphone are ip68 waterproof ?
-Google Music can be uninstall/disable ?
-is embedded EQ working with any browser/video app ?
Thx for sharing...

I have a specific question/problem related to this:
Currently I have Google Play Music assigned to Bluetooth.
This is cool because in the car, I can play music - but then play a game or something at the same time.
HOWEVER.....
In order for this to actually work, you have to go to the audio connections hub thing in the notification shade.
And switch your audio output to the phone.
THEN with the audio output set to the phone - itll use the override and send the play music to bluetooth.
You seemingly have to do this every time (I even used Tasker and Autotools custom settings, trying to detect which setting gets changed and make it automatic.... but couldn't see a related changed setting in the settings lists).
A bigger problem though, amidst my messing around to try to make this work better....
I selected "turn off connections manager" option.
Now I don't get that stuff in the notification shade at all.
And I cannot find a single setting that lets me access it again!
So now I can never use separate app audio.
Can someone help me!?!?!?
I have found this feature usefull for SatNav.
I have the phone connected to car bluetooth, so ALL audio on previous phones goes to the car - so as im listening to streaming radio etc, the satnav voice from TomTom kicks in and can be quite annoying - especially as I only want the voice for traffic and speed cameras.
With this feature, I can still stream music to the car but have the audio come through the phone speaker - well done Samsung

Same, once disabled there doesn't appear to be a way to get it to reappear

Give SoundAbout a look. There isn't much it can't manage.
One of my issues with the Google ChromeCast is that when the phone is used as a source, all audio is sent over that ChromeCast connection.
You cannot divert the audio to Bluetooth for bluetooth speakers/headphones.
Does anyone know if this new Samsung feature will allow you to divert ChromeCast audio to Bluetooth?
That would be pretty darn cool if it did.
EDIT: Btw, I don't have the Samsung phone.
I was linked here from a Google Pixel thread. But I'm really interested to know the answer to my question above.

Download Sound Assistant from Samsung in the play store. When you adjust volume hit the icon and then expand the window. To the right of the app volume slider you can switch sound output.
Found the "Audio output" control! Yess!!

Thanks to the post above I was finally able to find the setting to enable the option to select the Audio output on my phone (Samsung S8+) see pictures attached. So if you've lost the option to select the audio output of you S8 follow these steps. (Not to be confused with with Separate app sound, which routes different apps to a bluetooth or phone output)
Find the Samsung Connect app
Click on the three dots to bring down the menu
Tap Settings
Tap Samsung Connect panel
Ensure this is turned on
Tap on Always show
and Finally tap on Audio output << This is the one! :good:
Hi guys is there an app like viper4android that doesnt require root as I'm looking for a bit more volume out of my galaxy buds and just wondering if it was possible
Prefiberly system wide volume so works on all apps ect
Thanks
I assume you already have the hardware volume button turned up all the way. Try Developer options > Disable absolute volume
Also, make sure you are using the proper size tips for your ear canal. With the medium sized tips, I was getting a lot of ambient noise. I switched to the large ones and they block out most ambient noise. If the largest tips don't help, then you may have to search Amazon for specialized tips.
Afaik, there is nothing like V4A for unrooted devices. V4A works its magic by using a special driver that bypasses the default system driver, which is impossible without root access.

Thanks for the reply I've changed to the bigger tips and did make a little difference I've just gone to developer options should the setting be selected on or off as this is my default lol
I've also tried selecting ldac as I've heard its ment to sound better but keeps setting back to default SBC
I have an iphone 11 pro max sat here too just debating which to keep but I think the note is just alot more device lol
Thanks
You want to *disable* absolute volume, so toggle that switch to blue. I have never messed with codecs, so I can't advise you there.
